In MemOrianl.

James Ross Duncan was born October
30, 1868; died May 81, 1898, aged 20
years, Z months and one day.
He was young man of strong, pure
moral character. He was always up
right, honest and exceptionally pure
minded, bearing no malice or enmity to-
ward any one, even though they might
differ in opinion. He possessed strong
mind, marked especially by good
memory and large business capacity,
He Was one OF strong conviction, always
taking taking decided stand on all
questions.
He was an honored member of the l.
O. o. F. to the principles of which or
der he was deeply attached and which
he fulfilled in his daily life.
He was converted while in Caldwell,
Ohio, more than four years ago, since
which time his life as shown by his
acts has been that OF christian. His
Affections were long and severe, yet they
were borne with great fortitude and
hopefulness For more than four years
be was an invalid and during the past
winter was confined to the house and a
great part of the time to his bed. His
was indeed heroic battle for life, but
finally death conquered, but could claim
only that which was mortal for the spir-
it returned to God who gave it.
OF Ross it may be appropriately said,
He was grateful to his creator, faithful
to his country, fraternal to his fellow
man. Such life elevates and ennobles
human nature"
The funeral services were conducted
by the writer 1t was doubtless the
largest funeral ever held at Halleck.
The great throng of sympathizing
friends, weeping with those who
wept," spoke with an eloquence more
potent than tongue or pen, of the high
esteem in which he was held The bur
ial was in charge of his brother Odd
Fellows, who tenderly laid the body to
rest until that day when this corrupt
IDLE shall put on interruption and this
mortal shall put on. immortality"

CAUSED A SCARE,
Rumors of Strange Vessels In Cuban
Waters Alarm War Depart
ment Officials.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Stories of the
appearance of mysterious warships in
Cuban waters hoated through the navy
department yesterday. The officers
quickly condemned them, declaring the
belief that if the boats were Spanish
they were nothing more than small
armed launches and not to be feared by
any number of transports conveyed by
such fine gunboats as the Helena and
Bancroft.
But when these stories reached the
war department they were received
with a different spirit. Nothing is
more helpless in warfare than an I'M
armed troop transport full of soldiers.
She would fall an easy victim to the
smallest gunboat, and the soldiers
knowing their weakness in this respect
are loath to undertake to cross the
Florida straits until these disagreeable
visitors have been removed from the
pathway.
Without respect to the character of
the strange craft that are said to be
lodging the blockaders at Havana, they
will be removed from the scene of ac-
ton in short notice, as it is understood
that Sampson has been made acquainted
with the situation and will be expected
to redeem his promise to provide safe
conduct to the army when called upon
He has ample force to conduct the oper
ations at Santiago to a successful issue
and still spare vessels of any power de
sirable for use in the Florida straits

HEADING To
Senior Salmeron, the Republican Leader,
Talks of SPANS Outlook.
Especial Correspondence. |


MADRID, May 27.-Late tonight the
correspondent of the Associated Press
had an interview with Don Nicholas
Salmeron Alfonso, the famous Repub-
hcan leader. thinker, philosopher and
reformer.
He thinks Spain is heading straight
towards big disaster, and sees no hope
of escape for her The voice of the
people, he contends, is unheard, for he
holds that if elections were really free
large Republican majority would be
now sitting in the cortes. Whatever
party is in power in Spain can COM
mand majority by means of methods
he thought too well known to need par
ticularizing.
Hence, he said, comes the apparent
lethargy of the people, who feel they
are helpless before the bureaucratic
measures which weigh like nightmare
on the country But when this lethargy
is dispelled, Senior Salmeron thinks that
the result may be very terrible, and a
disastrous campaign, in his opinion,
will bring this to pass.
