Gone to Her Long Rest.

We announced last week the death of
Mrs. Leask which occurred Friday, Feb
ruary 4, at 9 o'clock a. m. The hour at
which we received the notice of the sad
event was too late for an extended state
ment of details. Mrs. Leask, whose
maiden name was Jessie Monroe Gordon
Leask, was born in the Parish of Evie,
Orkney, Scotland, on the End day of
June, 1898. She was married to James
L. Leask on the cath of February, 1857.
She came to this country, accompanied
by her husband and two sons, William
and Samuel ]. L. and located at Dickin-
son some eleven years ago, where the
family was reunited by being joined by
John and James L. MIR. Leask died
during the year 1883, since which time
Mrs. Leask has lived with her sons at
the residence on Clough street.
Mrs. Leask was a woman who received
the esteem and gained the respect of all
who came in contact with her and had a
good word for every one. Gentle and
kind-hearted she had a circle of friends
who regarded her with honor and affec-
ton. A devoted mother to her children
and a friend who lever failed in the
hour of need anyone who needed SYM
pathy or assistance. A devout Christian
a member of the Presbyterian church,
she died in the full faith of a glorious
resurrection.
The deceased had been ill for some
time and her strength had gradually
failed through the fall and winter
months until the frail thread of life
snapped and her spirit passed onward to
join that of her husband who had gone
before.
The funeral took place Monday, Feb
ruary 7, at 2 p. m., from the Congrcga-
tional church. Rev. U. G. Rich preached
a very impressive yet comforting sermon
after a prayer by Rev. John Orchard Of
Fargo. Many flowers and evergreens
were used to adorn and beautify the
church, and the choir sang several
solemn but sadly sweet hymns, which
voiced the grief of those present and yet
touched the heart with a hopeful feeling
that the departed had entered into an
eternal rest and peace where all
is we'll.
After the services at the church many
carriages followed the hearse to the
grave. The pail bearers were ]. G..
Campbell, J. B. Dehlinger. D. l. Bailey,
]. w. Currie, T. H. Brien and H. L.
Dickinson.
-Four sons, John, James L., William
and Samuel ]. L., remain to mourn the
departure of their mother. They have
the sympathy of the PRESS and the
whole community in their bereavement.

Death of William j. Reid.

William ]. Reid of Medora died in
Dickinson at the Ballard house Friday
morning at 1 o'clock, after an illness of
IS days. Mr.. and Mrs. w J. Reid came
to Dickinson the evening of January
II to attend the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs
Geo. Reid, which took place on the
following day. Mr.. Reid was taken sick
o after qis arrival and was unable
to attend the marriage of his brother.
On Monday of this week DR.. VIM.
Courtney of Drained, Mimi, arrived
and performed an operation on Mr..
Reid for appendicitis. DR.. V. H. Stick
ney, the attending physician, and DR..
Furness of Mandan, assisted. DR. Court
ney's reputation for operations of this
kind is such that the family felt that
they had done all in their power to save
the life of deceased. But he seemed
to be beyond human aid. During the
last three days he was unconscious
most of the time.
The Reid family, of which deceased
was the Oldest, came to Billings county
in July 1892, where they have resided
since, the father dying a few years ago.
Deceased was born in Salt Lake City,
October, 1862. He married Miss Min
ME Waltz, sister of Mrs. F. Alden
Eaton. Mr.. and Mrs. Reid kept house
in Medora and were interested in the
Reid Bros. cattle ranch north of that
place. Mr.. Reid was a bright, active
man, highly respected, and held several
Offices of trust in Billings county. He
leaves a wife, mother, two sisters, Miss
Gertrude Of Medora, and Mrs. Ross of
Louisville, KY, and three brothers,
George, foreman of the PIX cattle ranch,
Wallace who is in charge of the Reid
Bros. ranch, and Johnnie who is attend
ing the High school in Dickinson.
Services were conducted from the
Congregational church in Dickinson Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Rich
officiating. Beautiful flowers upon the
casket spoke e~loquently of the hope Of
resurrection. The remains were laid al
rest in the Dickinson cemetery. The
pail bearers we're: w. ]. Follis, E. G.
Bishop, ]. A. Ferris, J. w. Goodall, Ed
Jones, John K. Porter.
To the bereaved wife, mother, sisters
and brothers, the people of this com
munity extend sincere sympathy.

Indigestion is often taken for consumption.
The word consumption means wasting away,
and dyspeptics often waste away as badly az
co~nsumptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't got enough to eat, or they do
not digest t what they do eat.
IT the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Di.
gestive Cordial. This will help you to digest
your food and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs,
barks and the juices of fruit, by the well-known
Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supposed consumptives (who were really dys-
peptics), by simply helping their stomachs to
digest their food, thus giving them nourish'
ment and new strength.

PLAN OF NAVAL , AMPAIGN.
SIMPSONS Fleet Can Lie in
Mariana Bay to Bombard or
Menace Havana.

The plan of campaign in
Cuban waters decided upon by
the officers of the United States
fleet is as follows:
The battleships and monitors
are to run into Mariana. seven
miles west of Moro Castle, with
III easy gun range of Havana
The bay of Mariana, it is shown
from soundings made from the
boat Triton, has "no bottom.
The whole fleet can lie there to
menace or lombard Havana
without the Spaniards being able
to fire a shot from modern guns
in return. There is nothing
but the batteries Of Reina and
CASTILLO in sight of the bay. The
modern guns Of Moro cannot
train upon it. From the bay
the modern batteries lie about
northeast. Their guns cannot
train back more than northwest.
The mo: tar batteries Of Vedado
alone are effective. 1t is an
even question if they can be
trained far enough around the
west and to the south. The
practice Of these guns several
weeks ago was SO bad that it
was then seen that their shots
would probably do more dam
age to the town of Mariana and
its fort than to the hostile
feet, In short, by putting this
feet in Mariana Bay, Sampson
will have Havana at his mercy
He may-do this without wait
ing for infantry support on land
If Blanco makes the suicidal re
tusal to surrender it is his own
fault.
BY the above Havana can be
taken without firing a shot, il
Blanco does not determine tc
fight.
The plan of campaign was
adopted at a conference of the
commanding officers Of the feet
on board the flagship New York

GUN BOAT
In NORTH RIVER
Sighted Last Night
By Captain and
Crew Of Str.
Harbinger.

Capt. II. NJ. Balance brought
his steam vessel, the Harbinger,
into port yesterday from
Norfolk, aud reports passing a
large United States war ship at
the mouth of North River Cap
tain Balance says that he put
his wheel to port and passed
quite close to the vessel, trying
to find out what kind of craft ii
was. He reports that the yes
sci, twice as large as the Neuse,
was painted white (?) and her
big guns and fghting-tops made
her look quite formidable. There
was great activity on board, and
several tugs and small steamers
were anchored at her stern.
A glance at the map will
show that this vessel is stationed
at point of great strategic I'M
portance to our harbor, guarding
the approaches to Norfolk, Eliz-
abeth City, New Berne and
other cities from Oregon Inlet.
Probably the report OF Span
ish crafts sounding the ln>
let last week led the authorities
to ta<e steps to protect us.
Capt. Balance passed the yes
sci III the night, so he may have
mistaken her gray paint for
white. We all feel safer for the
protection from the mysterious
Spanish vessel that threatened
us last week.
