TAKEN AWAY SUDDENLY.
Our People Very Much Surprised by the
Accidental Death of Jake Hauck.


Accidental Death of Jake Hauck.
Jacob w. Hauck was found dead in
his room at the Harrington Hotel IN
st. Louis, Mich, last Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Hauck, who has been resident
of this city for the past ten years went
to st. Louis, Wednesday previous to
his death, for the purpose OF disposing
of his saloon stock and fixtures here
and also to try the mineral baths in
hopes that the treatment would be ben
efcial TO his health, which had not
been good for several months. He stop
ped at the Harrington Hotel and on
retiring Thursday night told the land
lord to call him at eight o'clock as he
desired to return TO Bedding on the
early train. The clerk says he called
him and supposed he answered, and
thought no more about IL for several
hours. On going to the room again
they could get no answer and broke in
the door finding him in bed with his
head resting on his hand and hand
kerchief to his face which had been
saturated with chloroform. A tele-
gram was Immediately sent TO his
brothers here and at Westphalia and
Pewamo.
An inquest was held, the jury decid-
ing that he came to his death by an
over dose of chloroform but not taken
with suicidal intent. He had been in
the habit, late years, of taking opiates
to cause sleep. George and Mike
Hauck and M. b. Divine went TO st.
Louis, Friday, returning with the body
Saturday evening.
In his pockets were found 1924 "A.
He had completed the sale of his stock
and fixtures but told the man he did
not care to have the money paid to
him until morning.
The funeral service was held in the
Congregational church Sunday after
noon, Rev. b. V. Child officiating.

THEaPREsIDENr's CHRISTMAS.

Washington, December 25.-Christmas
day, A. D., 1897, WAS the most quiet
and peaceful on record ct the White
House. Owing to the recent bereavement
of the President, all official functions
were suspended and throughout the day
the doors Of the Executive Mansion
rarely swung on their hinges. President
and Mrs Mckinley early in the day went
for q short drive about the city. The
weather was perfect, clear, cloudless and
crisp. Early in the morning, q messen-
ger arrived with great basket of pink
orchids and lilies of the valley, marked
simply "For the President, A little
later the Presidents carriage pulled up
at the door and Mrs. Mckinley came
down stairs leaning on the Presidents
arm. Mrs. Mckinley seemed as well as
at any time since her arrival at the White
House, while the President was the pict-
ure of health. The only guests in the
house were Miss Duncan and Miss Bar
Der, who remained during the morning.
The Christmas dinner was purify fami-
" affair."

10 our Most Eminent Grand Master,
W. Larue Thomas: A faithful leader.
May his days be long and may the bless
lngs of Our Lord and Master follow him
all the days of his life.''
AND at the same time in all command
cries IN this country the following re-
spohse from the Grand Master was read:
10 all true knights of the Temple:
Health and Peace: God bless us every
one.''
AT noon, Christmas eastern standard
tlme' about $50 knights gathered
III inc banquet hall of the Mas sonic
building and drank toast to the Grand
Master and listened to the Grand
Master response. Emminent Command
er Sir Knight A. f. MouIton of Portland
commandery read the toast and Sir
knight Stephen Berry read the Grand
Masters response. This pleasing custom
has not been observed many years but it
will doubtless be faithfully observed in
the future as long as tempIarism exists.
While Sir Knights in this country were
drinking the toast to the Grand Master,
undoubtedly Ghere We're many other Sir
knights in far off corners of the earth
raising their glasses at the same moment.
and solemnly toasttng their comrades at
home. In China or India such q toast
while pledged herein Portland at high
noon must have been drank at or about
midnight, while in some parts of Europe
Sir Knights, mindful of the pleasing Gus
tom, must have been obliged to rise very
early in the morning of Christmas day
to join in the universal toast drinking.
For one instant of time Sir Knights the
world over are linked together by the
same thought and the same act and this
in itself is pleasant for friends in exile
to contemplate while they are pledging
their comrades at home.
