AUTONOMY DOESN'T GO.

One thing seems clear from recent
events In Cuba and that is that the au-
tonomy plan Of the present Spanish
ministry Is "a failure without even the

OF course, the Cubans would not accept
it, No intelligent observer of the progress
Of tho Cuban revolution believed for a
minute that they would accept it. Such
a plan proposed before the beginning Of
hostilities would undoubtedly have been
accepted by the Cuban politicians, mill
tary leaders and statesmen. But after
three years Of warfare, peace on any terms
but absolute independence was essen TALLY
impossible
But, that autonomy IL scarcely less an
acceptable proposition to the Spaniards

The La wake Murder Mystery.

The murder mystery of Dubuque,
Iowa, has been cleared up. The murdered
lawyer, William Otis LaVake, was a son
of Lewis LaVake, formerly of Shoreham.
An Iowa paper has the following:
The verdict of the coronor's jury was to the
effect that VIM. o. LaVake came to his death
from shock and hemorrhage produced from
gun shot wounds felonOusly inflicted and
recommended that John McGeary be held to
appear before the grand jury. The father of
the murdered man appeared at the jail and
asked to see the alleged murderer of his son.
The request was granted and the old man
looked long and hxedly ut McGeary. His
face paled, but he made no outward demon
stratiOn, as he promised the sheriff he would.
William Otis La Wake was born oct. Is, 1871
in Kendall Kendall county, Illinois. He
emigrated with his parents to the far west
and at the age of 10 went from iaho to New
York city, where he remained three years
with his uncle. In 1893 he began his studies
in the law department of Iowa state univer-
sity. lie graduated in 1885 and soon after in
company with the present senator MallOy, he
very soon attained prominence I'm his pro
feSsiOn. He was cOmman lar in the order of
the Sons of Veterans and in every relation he
was held in honor. He was Il member of the
First Congregational church OF Dubuque and
his Bible class sent a floral tribute TO his
memory. lie was shot by an assassin March
10, lS9S, at the age of twenty-six years and
five months.

An Oregon correspondent writes thus
of minister well known here: The
church at Olympia is getting down tC
work again with its new pastor, Rev. Mr.
Remele, and although it has met with
many losses by the removal of its mem,
bers, it yet has good working force
and should be able TO do fair share OF
the Christian work of the town. Its
Sunday school has stood well together
during the vacancy in the pastorate, but
it has insufficient facilities for modern
school, and it might be we'll if portion
of the parsonage, for which the bachelor
pastor has but little use, could be extern.
ported for primary and Bible classes
Pastor Remee is pleasing the people
greatly with his pulpit work, and is also
finding his way among the scattered
homes of his parish.

a sudden Death.

The startling intelligence of the sud
den death of Miss Emma Starr was made
public yesterday morning. She return
ed from visit to New York on the :l0
train Wednesday afternoon and at that
time was seemingly in the best of health
and spirits. Not appearing at her usual
hour yesterday morning, investigation
was made by a member of her household
and she was found dead in bed. Heart
disease is the natural supposltion in
assigning the cause of death. The shock
is very severe one to the host of Miss
Starts friends in this village where she
has so long resided. Arrangements for
the funeral have not at this writing been
completed, but it will take place Sunday
afternoon.

Great interest was manifested here
over the passing through of the Fort
Ethan Allen troops. They were expected
at or 80 Wednesday evening and a
very large crowd gathered at the depot
to cheer them on their way. A delay in
the shipping facilities kept the companies
from starting until the small hours of
the night, and they passed Middlebury
at 80 and o'clock yesterday morning
In this connection, our antiquarian notes
that there is quite a contrast in the
travelling facilities of the Fort Ethan
Allen troops of today and detachment
of troops for the Mexican war fifty
years ago. The latter were detained
here by severe snow storm on the
march to Troy. They dug their way
through snow drifts as far as Deacon
Porter's place, when they were obliged
to return and spend Sunday at the Ad-
Olson House.
