Died.

SAL1sBURY-At his home in Cresco,
Iowa, Tuesday, May 25, 1897, De
Witt Salisbury, aged "A years, 6
months and "a days.
The deceased was born in Browns
vile, N. Y, Oct. 80, 1862, and came to
Iowa with his parents in the spring
of 1859.
On June 10, 1874, he was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Owens of
Hopkinton, Iowa, who preceded
him to the better land March 90, 1884,
leaving daughter, Nellie, who has
grown to be an estimable young lady
with large circle of friends who
sYmpathise with her in her double
orphanage. May 4, 1887, he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Dora Stimp-
son, and to them two children have
been born.
The funeral was from the house on
Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mitchell
officiating, and the interment in Oak
Lawn cemetery. A large number of
friends were in attendance, showing
by their presence their esteem for
one who has always been a good
friend, neighbor and citizen. The
sorrowing relatives have the heart
felt sympathy of all in their bereave-
ment

The Cresco Times is lamcn'inr the
fact that the city of Cresco has -, ~
ganized cornet band. The fact of the
matter, Bro. Adams, is that it is diff
cult matter to keep up such an organi-
cation In a town even the size of Cres-
CO. There is usually no encourage
ment whatever to keep up such an
organization. While the novelty of
playing lasts all goes we'll, but when
that wears off, interest lags. The
members are out considerable time
and money and with no opportunity
to replenish their exchequer and no
encouragement from citizens, such
organizations must eventually die.
Calmar is in the same boat as Cresco
in that respect Courier.
The trouble at Calmar is the same
as in Cresco, it pays its money to out
siders and lets its home band play for
fun, though better than the bands en-
ployed. Prof. Thaler and his band
get the cold shoulder whenever CAL,
mar is to pay iorsthe music on any oc-
casion.

Recommen dations of Presbyteriann
ON the Liauor Trafac.

on the Liquor Traffic.
Eagle Lake, Ind, May 20.-In the
Presbyterian general assembly Friday
the standing committee on temperance
reported through Rev. H. II. Henry, of
Birmingham, Pa. 1t was recommended
that every legitimate means be used
by the church and members to suppress
the liquor traffic, and that members be
urged to use their influence by obscrv-
ing habits of total abstinence 1t was
also recommended that the third Sun
day in November be set apart as Stem
perance day." but the date was changed
to the third Sunday of October as be-
ing more appropriate, preceding cleo
ton instead of following. After lively
debate, the resolutions were adopted,
and also memorial to congress asking
for official investigation of the liquor
traffic.
AT the evening session the race ques-
ton in the south came up unexpected
ly on petition to allow q colored
church in Texas to join presbytery in
Arkansas. The discussion was long and
covered many points, but the petition
was finally decided in the negative.
The reason given was an unwillingness
to recognize color distinctions in the
denomination.
After the routine business which
marks the close of each assembly, the
roll call and vote of thanks to all who
had contributed to the success and con-
venience of the body. the assembly ad-
journed sine die at II: so o'clock.

Washington, May 29.-The trial of
John E. Searles, secretary of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, followed
that of President Havemeyer before
Judge Bradley in the criminal court
room No. Friday. Judge Bradley's
decision Thursday, which threw the
case against Havemeyer out of court,
robbed the Searles trial of much of It's
interest, despite the assertion of Dis
trict Attorney Davis that the cases were
not analogous and that the contention
set up by the defense in the Havemeyer
case, upon which the judge ordered a
verdict of acquittal returned, would not
hold in the Searles case.
AT 11:4o the government rested its
case against John E. Searles, secretary
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, and the defense moved that the
jury be instructed to bring in a verdict
of acquittal on three grounds. After
Mr.. johnson concluded District Attor-
ney David replied. The opinion is
unanimous about the court that Judge
Bradley will sustain the motion, take
the case from the jury and order an &C.
quittal.
Mr.. Davis concluded and the court
adjourned till Tuesday without de-
cision being rendered.

MODERN woopMEN.
Head Camp to Meet Mt Dubuque, IL
on .vunN

Oh JUNO LIZ
Dubuque, Ia, May 29.-The biennial
meeting of the head camp Modern
Woodmen of America, to be held here
June II, promises to be one of the most
important and largest attended con-
ventions ever held by the order. Many
matters of vital Importance to the or
ganization are to be considered and
there will be lively fight about some of
them. This is especially true regard
ing proposition to again order the
headquarters moved from Fulton, ILL.,,
to Rock Island. The order for the
change was originally made at Omaha
in 1893, and again at Madison, Wis, in
1898. The Fulton people, by means of
injunction and other legal proceedings,
prevented the removal, but the passage
of bill by the Illinois legislature re-
Gently authorizing change of location,
and the general impression that the con-
vention next week will act in accord
ance Herewith, makes it pretty GER
tain that Rock Island will at last be sue
cessful. The Fulton camp, however,
backed by dozen others, will make a
fight to retain the headquarters.
The reports of the head officers show
that since the meeting at Springfield in
1890, the membership has increased
from 10000 to 100000, and the number
of camps from 1,1oO to 1880; that the
average age has decreased from 3s.05
in 1883 to 1915 in 1896; the death rate
from Sal in 1893 to AGO in 1896; the cost
of management from $1.62 in 1880 to 81
cents In 1896. The total insurance now
in force is $55O,oOo,Ooo. The increase in
membership during the last biennial
period has been 1877, 113 and in the num-
Der of camps 1888. There is a balance
of $74,27o in the treasury to the credit
of the benefit fund and of $175, 900 in the
general fund. The proposition to estab-
fish reserve was defeated, the votes for
1t being 1885 and against it 57,416;
camps 1912, against 2.7o2, tie 26.
The great day of the gathering will
be June 3, when 10000 Woodmen are
expected at the picnic, when speeches
will be made by Gov. Drake, Lieut.. Gov.

Important Conference Soon to Meet
at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 80. = It is def
nitely settled that the most important
conference yet held in America in con-
nection with the Cuban cause will as
semble in Philadelphia some time next
week. Gen. Palma will preside. With
him will be Quesada, the charge d.
affaires. They are coming here, it is
said, to prepare plans that may meet
with the entire appreciation of the ad-
ministrntion at Washington.
1t is said that as soon as Senator Sher-
man became secretary of state he
sent for Quesada. That interview
has had more to do with the coming
conference than any one thing that has
occurred in Cuban affairs since the in
auguration of the war two years ago.
To some it seems to mean that the au-
tonomy of Cuba will be demanded. To
the extremists it appears that indie
pendence and then alliance with the
United States will be the result. The
Cubans say they have reason to believe
the Mckinley administration is going
to carry out the policy upon which Nc
Kinley became president.

The Saratoga creamery is making
about 2500 pounds of bntter week,
with steady increase each week
from an increase in the flow of milk
from an increase il the feed. The

are the only ones in the county that

25O tubs per week of 60 pounds each.
These two creameries are both farm
ers or cooperative, the Saratoga one
having about 127 patrons, but all own

strumentp just think this suggestion
over, boys.-Cresco Times.
There is nothing the matter with
our musicians. The trouble and the
only one is that those who should en-
courage, patronize and pay our mu-
sicians, give their Encouragement,
patronage and pay to others. The
pay that is promised them is never
Forthcoming while outsiders vastly in
ferior are encouraged, patronized and
paid beyond their merit or worth as
musicians. This ought to solve "the
puzzle" that the Times is struggling
with. Even now one of the promi-
nent business men of Cresco who has
been instrumental largely in driving
out of the place our local musical tai
emit is striving to bring in musician
to take charge of and organize band,
with no more musical talent or educa-
ton than those whom his policy has
caused to disband. The money under
this influence paid to others would
have maintained in Cresco better
band than is sought for frem outside.
The purchase of music, OF instruments
and the time devoted to musical in.
struction and practice costs money
and must be paid for by somebody
When the entire expense is put upon
the musicians, it becomes monotonous,
especially when they see the money
which should be paid to them paid
out with a lavish hand to- those less
competent, at the dictation of dudes,
and of those long on promises bu,
