Mrs. John Buckingham.

On Tuesday, March 9, the spirit OF

ham, departed this life to join the in
Vulnerable throng around the throne
In heaven.
Deceased, II daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w Skinner, was born In VALID.
wick, January %, 1868, where she has
since resided.
For months she has suffered intense
agony from complication of diseases
Though having very little If any
relief from pain, no murmur or com
plant was heard by those around her
We hoped against hope that the re-
turn Of warm weather might bring
with II return If health and strength,
but God willed otherwise.
The only tic which bound our de
parted friend to earth was the loved
ones intrusted to her care. Our hearts
60 out in sympathy to the bereaved
husband and two little ones, whose
hearts aud homes are so soon desc
lated. The first break in the family
chain Ia heavy blow upon the parents
two brothers, and seven sisters, who
so keenly feel their loss.
She has patiently run the race that
was set before her and great is heI
reward In heaven. A FRIEND.

The World Herald was not a party

aper, was served with the order. He
published an open letter to Judge Key
ser in today's World-Herald from

His Name Sent to the Senate and
Favorable Action Taken With

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-President
the protests that were formulating on
the Pacific coast against Attorney
/ General McKenna's elevation to the
supreme court bench and sent in his
nomination today. The responsibility
for McKenna's future judicial honors
will, therefore, rest with the senate.
The president Is determined to stand
by his attorney general to the end Of
| the fight He will insist, it is said, that
Mr.. McKenna continue as attorney
general until the senate confirms his
| nomination as associate justice.
Other nominations were made as fol-
lows:
Treasury-Charles G. Dawes, of Illinois, to
be comptroller Of the currency.
Interior-John w. Nesbit, Pennsylvania, to
be pension agent at Pittsburg.
Court of Private Land Claims-Joseph R.
Reed, Of Iowa, to be chief justice; William
w. Murray Of Tennessee; Thomas c. Full
Ter, Of North Carolina; Henry c. Sluss Of
Kansas. and Wilbur F. Stone, Of Colorado, to
be associate justices; reappointments their
terms expiring Dec. 81, 1897.
Lewis MI. S, attorney of the United States
for the Southern district of Iowa. Robert V.
Golfer attorney of the United States for
the district of idaho.
The president also sent in a large
number of appointments which were
made during the recess Of the senate
and which have heretofore been an
nounCed.
The senate confirmed the nomina-
ton of Charles G.. Dawes, Of Illinois,
to be comptroller of the treasury; John
P. Nesbit of Pennsylvania, to be pen
sion agent at Pittsburg, Pa, and also
large number of promotions in the
army, the most important being the
following: Col. Samuel Brock, assist
ant adjutant general, to be adjutant
general with rank of brigadier gen
eral; Capt. Henry O. Sheldon Heistand,
Eleventh infantry, to be assistant ad
jutant general, with rank of major;
Col. William H Bell, assistant COM
missary general of subsistence, to be
commsary general CT subsistence, with
rank of hrigadier general.
The nomination of Attorney General
McKenna will not be acted upon by
the senate u.til after the Christmas
holidays. TIE nCmina!iO was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary in
today's executive ses sion, but Sena or
Hoar, chairman of that committee,
stated that h" void rot ask the com
mittee to CONSIDER the nomination IL til
after the reconvening of the senate in
January. 1t does not appear that the
delay in considering Mr.. McKenna 5
nomination is due to ocposi. ion that is
reported to exist against his cor firna-
ton so much as to the fact that the
committee on judiciary habilua ly con-
siders nominations to the supreme
bench with more elaboration than Is
exercised by that or any other COM
mittee in the case Of other nominations.
AS the senate will adjourn on Saturday
for the holidays, action would be
necessary in the two days left and this
time, instead Of being sufficient for
mature deliberation, would be consid-
cred insufficient for even the most ordi-
nary nomination.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-G. B. French,
the recognized agent Of the Letter in
terest In wheat, impaired bit Of in
formation today which wheat specula-
tors have for months been anxious to
know. He also ventured prediction
on the future of May wheat. Our
wheat cost us very near 70 cents" said
Mr.. French, land at that price we
think we can afford to take 1t IN, pay
for it and see what it looks like. Our
position, as we have said right along,
Is simply that of merchandisers. The
line was bought, including the trans
fers at the price I name and our posi-
ton is not that of a speculator. 1t is
as if a straight line was drawn from
70 cents up to $1.10, as against the posi-
ton of the speculator who had bought
and sold at the same prices, but who
had also bought and sold at so many
intermediate points as to entirely
change his position. In regard to the
wheat situation at present [ will say
that 1 think spectators are watching
the local conditions and entirely ignor-
ing the legitimate position. AS soon
as the deficiency of supplies and the
