Memoir.

Baldwin Huff was born April 8, 1911.
If he had lived until the 9th of next
month he would have been S8 years old.
He came from Harrison county, Ohio,
to Highland county in 1919. Having
been resident of the county for nearR
76 years, he was justly entitled II
take rank as a pioneer. He was man
of industrious and economical habits,
and by dint of toll and sacrifice had
accumulateda a competency of the things
of the world, so that when the time Of
adversely came he had sufficiency for
all his needs. He was married to Mar.
garet Rees in 1885. She departed this
life In 1851, since which event he has
continued to live with his children.
Their marriage was blessed with eight
children. One girl died in infancy.
There were two sons; both grew to
manhood and both were members of
Gen. Ewing's Brigade Band, and both
died at Vicksburg, Miss, in the service
of their country. The grief occasioned
by their death was inconsolable. Five
daughters remain to mourn his death,
to-wit: Hettie Frazier, Hannah Huff,
Addie Boysell, Matilda Cowman and
Amanda H. Miner, all present to wit.
ness the last sad funeral rites and drop
a tear upon the sacred dust before its
final interment. He was just and
upright man of more than ordinary
intelligence and general information in
his day. He was respected and honore d
by all who knew him. In religion he
was an adherent of the faith as taught
by the Universalist Church. He has
long been an invalid. His eyesight
gradually failed him, until for the last
six years he has been blind. He was a
patient sufferer, and has been great
care upon the attention of his children,
especially the two daughters, Hannah
and Mrs. Miner, and his son-in-law,
Mr.. M. J. Miner, who have been un.
firing in their attention and devotion
to him in these long years of suffering
and confinement. Life to him was only
prolonged existence. He was cut off
by his infirmities, from all that makes
life desirable. He could most appro.
priately have adopted the sentiment of
the poet Burns and said,
20, death, the poor mans dearest friend, the
| kindest and the best,
Welcome the hour my weary limbs are laid
with thee, at rest"
1t is, no doubt, a sad service for these
affectionate children to bury out Of
their sight the loved form and features
but in their hearts they cannot but fee
that the stroke was kindly that cut the
cord that bound him to his life of pair
and deprivation. In recognition of the
infinite wisdom, and the unfailine
mercy of God. let us bow submissive tt
His will.

familiar to many OF our readers as the

Nearly all of sthe Wisconsin points of
interest are within short distance from
Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of
them are 80 far away from the "busy
marts of civilization" that they cannot
be reached in :few hours travel by
frequent trains, over the finest road in
the northwest-the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway. A description of
the principal resorts, with list of sum.

Gen. Gomez.

Gen. Gomez recently delivered an ad
dress to his army, OF which the follow.
ing is an extract:
"Soldiers of the Revolution and Eel.
low Citizens: Two years have elapsed
since the patriotism of the Cuban people
raised the flag of our republic to liberate
our country from the Spanish sway.
Cuba may rest satisfied that every one
has done his duty. We are now near the
realization of our hopes. Let us hope
that year more will not pass without
seeing Cuba free forever; but let US
swear by the dear remains of the heroes
who have perished at our side in this
glorious struggle for the highest ideal
that a country can have, that neither
time nor the hardest tois we may suffer
will make us despair OF waver in our
resolute attitude. Viva Cuba libre |"
Speaking to a newspaper man, Gen.
Gomez said:
"We do not seek to involve the United
States in q war with Spain. We do not
try in the least to compromise that coun.
try in our struggle, to win our indepen.
dence with any material help from the
Americans. lfthere are Americans who
think that the war in Cuba is a menace
to their peace and prosperity because the
Cubans intend to involve the American
Government in trouble with Spain, they
do us the greatest injustice.
at is not our fault if the savage war.
fare of the Spaniards rouses the whole
civilized world, and if the Spaniards in.
suit the American flag and arrest and
murder American citizens. 1t is not our
fault if, in view OF such outrages, public
opinion in the United States is reused
against an Administration which toler.
ates those things and still calls Spain a
friendly power All that is the fault of
Spain, barbarous nation of barDarous
warriors. The Cubans themselves have
revolted precisely because they could
not suffer any more of those crimes of
which American citizens are the victims
now in Spanish towns.
mo, we do not want American help,
and we did not count upon it when We
revolted against the tyranny of the Span.
iards. But we do not like to see the
American nation siding with our en-.
emies, the American warships haunting
our expeditionarv steamers, the Ameri.
can police arresliug our friends abroad
and serving-Oh, shame for the country

ish monarchy.
"We like fair neutrality. We like to
struggle alone against Spain, not against
Spain helped by the powerful resources
at the command of President of the
United States"
The old veterans eyes sparkled with
passion.

EXPENSES OF OFFICIAL LIFE.
Much Higher Than Those of Ordinary
Existence.

Much Higher Than Those of Ordinary
Existence.
There is now before the legislature OF
one of the states bill to reduce the sal
aries of the state officials. One man de-
clares that as the salary of the govern
or is $4,000 q year, and as the actual
work he does amounts to less than two
days in the week, the pay is altogether
out of proportion to the service per-
formed. This is one way of looking at
the subject, but it is an extremely mar
row, unfair and shortsighted view of
the case.
The man who is selected for such po-
sition is, or ought to be, chosen because
of his intelligence and ability, and men
of the class from whom such officials
are selected do not in these days con-
slider $4,000 year very large income.
Very many of them make much more
than this. 1t is by no means uncom-
mon for a man to refuse to accept an
Office for which he is peculiarly fitted
solely on the ground that he cannot af-
ford to give up his business for the sal
ary attached to the position. This has
occurred great many times within the
past few years. 1t is not altogether
how many days work in a week, or a
month, or year the official performs.
1t is what is expected in other direc-
tions.
When district sends a man to con-
gress or the legislature, this district
acts as though it had a sort of a chattel
mortgage on the man which it had a
perfect right to foreclose on the install
ments whenever it saw fit. It does
this by demands of various sorts either
in the way of claims on his hospitality,
his time, strength or hard work.
AS to the governor of the state, he is ex-
pected to live in rather luxurious way,
to entertain, to show himself at all the
important functions of the socio-polit-
ical world, and to keep up to the times
generally. Failing to do this, he is sold
fogyish," "behind the times" and mot
fit for the place, anyway"
1t is astonishing how readily people
find fault with an established state OF
things, and yet how quick they are to
resent any departure from them. A
great deal Of the hue and cry against
salaries comes from people who know
very little about the requirements OF
the persons who draw them.
Some years ago a member Of congress
kept an accurate account Of his ex-
penditures for the year. At the end Of
that time he had paid out nearly s7,500
more than his salary, and most of it had
gone in entertaining the constituents

A RICH VALLEY.
Extending Over Hundred Miles North
and South By Eighty Miles East
and West.

The Valleysof the Big Sioux River
extending from Sioux City and the
Missouri River on the south over one
hundred miles north and about eighty
miles east and west, and includes within
its tributaries largo portion of south.
western Minnesota and northwestern
Iowa. Within these limits are more
than, 1880 acres of land, more ara
BILE land than is contained within the
states of Massachusetts, Delaware, and
New Jersey combined. For diversified
farming it has no superior on the con.
tinent. In fertility and riches of soil it
even excels the famous valley of the
Red River of the North.
The soil is deep black loan, with
enough sand to render it warm and
quick, underlaid by fertile porous
subsoil, possessing all the qualities nee.
cessary las years of experience has dem
onstrated) for all kinds of farming,
especially corn and kinded cereals.
The grasses are rich and abundant,
the celebrated blue joint prevailing.
The Valley is already noted as a favor.
abba locality for fine stock raising, and
great deal of the wealth of the industri.
GUS farmers has been derived from corn,
hogs and cattle. 1t is well watered in
every portion both from springs and
small streams, and good water is always
obtained at depth of from 20 to so feet.
Eight to ten years ago in north
western Iowa and southwestern Min.
nesota lands sold at SIS to $40 per acre.
To day the same lands are worth $25 to
$40 per acre, and cannot be bought for
less, according to improvements. The
boundary lines of the states do not change
the productiveness of the soil. The soil
on the South Dakota side is just as good
as that of the states which it adjoins.

How to Mend Gloves.

If you wish to mend your gloves neat
ly, turn them inside out and sew them
over and over with fine cotton thread.
Silk seems to cut the kid. If there is
a tear, set piece of kid under it and
secure it with few stitches; if you
have not the kid of the right color, use
a bit of ribbon or silk. Save the best
part of the old pair to mend the new.
