Mrs. MARGARET WYLIE died at her
home near AIvon, this county, last Sun
day morning, the 10Th inst, aged 81
years, months and day. She was
born on the llth day Of December, 1898,
under the administration of President
John Adams. She was doubtless the
Oldest person in the county at the time
Of her death. She had been an invalid
for over four years, and as she was so
old it was thought useless to call medi-
cal aid, but last week the attention of
those around her was attracted by one
of her feet turning black. So Friday
about noon DR.. Jos. g. Brown was called
in. After an examination he pronounced
her case one OF senile gangreen, and
that she would only last a few hours
Born here, she was highly respected, was
a consistent member of the Fresbyte-
rian Church for many years, and leaves
behind one son and daughter. The fol-
lowing is a piece Of poetry Mrs. Wyle
had published in the INDEPENDENT a
few years ago. 1t was original with
her:

THE SUN.

That glorious orb, supremacy bright,
JUST rising 'mOng the trees
To cheer all nature with its light,
What are those beams to me?
What are natures charms combined
To one whose wearied breast
Can neither peace nor comfort find,
Nor friend wherein to rest ?
But troubled like the restless sea,
Feeble, faint and fearful
Plagued with sin, a sore disease,
Then how can | be cheerful

German Commissioner In Africa n
Monster or Madman.

Berlin. March 14.--Dr. Kayser. direc-
tor $of the colonial office, ANNOUNCED in
the reichstag today that in view OF the
charges made by Herr Bebel. who ac-
cused DIR. Carl Peters. the explorer, or
causing a negro and negress to be hang
ed without trial while he was Imperial
commissioner in Africa during 1891. a
fresh inquiry will be held into the mat
ter. DIR. Kayser added that previous ey-
idence had not established the guilt OF
Peters in the eyes of the law. Count
Won Armin then read letter from DIR.
Peters, declaring that Herr Bebefs as
sertions were partly untrue and partly
exaggerated. The negro, he said, was
tried by court martial for burglary
and the negress was never punished. 1t
was another negress, he explained, not
his servant, who after having been sent
enced to be confined in irons Tor six
months, was condemned 10 death IN
February 1899. for attempting to &es-
cape.
DR. Peters further denied that he had
been married. to negress, according tc
Mohammedan rites.
DR.. Kayser then read q statement
in which Peters admitted that the con
demned negress was his mistress
Lenzmann declared that Peters was Z
mailman or monster, and he, Leist ano
weylan should be punished according
to the law. 81

Peculiar TRANSACTIONS md Involves
Large Interests.

St Paul, March 15.-P. II. Kelly, one
of the best known merchants and poll
ticians in the state, has made personal
assignment to J. f. Mayer of Mankato,
MINI. The assets are said 10 be $780,,
900 liabilities. 100000.
The assignment is a peculiar one, ac-
cording to the story of Kellys attorney
which is that there is no need for any
failure as far as financial difficulties
are concerned, but the assignment has
been made to close up the estate more
easily in case Kelly should not recover
from thesevere attack of pneumonia
which has confined him to his rooms for
some days. The papers were filed Sat-
urday afternoon, but the fact did not
become public until today.
Mr.. Kelly's private estate Is estimat-
ed at being worth from 100000 to $780,
900, but no accurate statement can be
given. His attorney says his assets ex-
coed the liabilities. 1t Is stated that
the p. II. Kelly Mercantile Company
will assign to w. Z Jordan of Miles
City, for the same reason that caused
the assignment of Kelly. The mercan-
tile company is rated at half million
dollars and it's credit is the highest
Business will go on as usual and will
in no way be interfered with by the as
signment. rsG tl sa 4

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE IN CUBA
Spanish Troops Engage i'm IA Battle
Between Themselves.

Havana, March ia terrible mis-
take has resulted in the killing of
number of Spanish soldiers by their fell
low-Spaniards. The battalion of San
Quintin was approaching the town Of
Cano, seven miles from Havana. The
town shortly before that had been at
tackled by the insurgents, and the gar
rison, without hailing the San Quintin
battalion, and taking them for the in
surgents, who they thought had re-
turned to a second attack, opened upon
them with volleys.
The San Quintin battalion. on the
other hand, mistook the garrison for
the insurgents and charged three times
with great determination, taking the
town. Before the mistake was discov-
cred the San Quintin battalion had lost
10 soldiers killed, and a captain. four
lieutenants and q soldiers wounded.
