Memorial to VIM. Ledgerwood.

Our friend and brother William
Ledgerwood has left US He died
July 25, 1898. He was born in Campbell
county, Tennessee, April 4,'lSll. His
father emigrated to Missouri in 1922;
he was married to Miss Della Parson,
November 13, 1887. He and his wife
came to Sonoma county, California in
lS49, moyed to Oregon 10 1869. where
they have since resided. Eight years
ago Mrs. Ledgerwood was called from
life's labors TO her reward in better
land. OF nine children, four sons and
five daughters, two sons and two
daughters survive them.
Brother Ledgerwood died in his
S7th year. He was man OF strong
convictions, and never failed to de-
clare them, If he in his opinion, duty
or occasion called for their expression.
Being spared to enjoy so long life,
with his strong convictions, it could
not be expected that he would not
antagonlze the opinion Of Others, but
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1898-08-08

little did he care when convinced OF
the correctness OF his position. He
made 1t the rule OF his life to do unto
all men as he would have them do
unto him.
When such a man dies, we should
pause and consider whether we are
following in his footsteps and profit
ing by his good example. 10 the
family circle he was firm but kind and
affectionate, Gs a citizen OF the COM
monwealth he was peaccable aud law
abiding.
In view of Brother Iedgerwood's
death we are admOnished to behold
how swiftly the sands run and how
rapidly our lives are drawing to
close.
"Thus wastes man; today he puts
forth the tender leaves OF hope, to-
morrow blossoms and bears his blush
ing honors thick upon him. The next
day comes frost which nips the
shoot, and when he thinks his great
ness is still aspiring he feels like
autumn leaYes."

wood gave God his heart, and his last
words were: Lord Receive My
Spirit"
The funeral services we're conducted
by the writer at Rocky Point school

citizens paid the last respects to the
dead.
The grieT stricken children have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM

rived, announcing his majesty'S COM

on their part, gave out that the pc

that the deceased had remarked tnat
he "wanted rest, at least after

German Royalty,
Herbert Bismarck Gets Even
With the Emperor.
Emperor William Was Not Allowed to
See ithe Dead Chancellor.

BERLIN, Aug. S.-The death of
Prince Bismarck has, of course, en-
grosse1 public attention throughout
the week. While it cannot truth
fully be said that the impression
created by the sudden death Of the
great chancellor was as deep as would
have been expected, and while there
was nothing like general
mourning visible in Berlin, yet there
was unnistakable evidence of wide
spread sympathy. The publications
and revelations which so quickly fol-
lowed the death of the prince have
naturally created sensation and
deep anger in government circles, and
there is still greater surprise at the
resentment in the attitude of the
Bismarck family.
The emperor left nothing undone
that could testify to his personal
grief or the sense of the greatness Of
the loss to Germany. His proclama-
tion, addressed to the imperial
chancellor, Prince HohenlOhe, has
given high satisfaction throughout
the country, and it is generally ad.
mitted that no Titles magnamity was
required to enable his majesty to pre-
serve such unruflied serenity in the
face of the evident sullenness of the
family. lie devised most splendid
public honors for the deceased states
man, and when his efforts to place the
laLter's remains besides his grand
fathers were refused, the emperor
carried out what was possible in the
shape of a public funeral. regardless OF
the absence OF all the Bismarcks. On
the whole, Emperor William has
shown great tact ia the face of open
rebntfs. @
The Vossische Zeitung, referring To
the matter, says "We do not wish to
pass judgement, and only chronicle
facts The notice of the death ad-
dressed TO the emperor did not bear
the signature of the son, but of the
doctor. The emperor commanded
Professor Begas to take cast of the
features, but the emissary OF The
sculptor was obliged to leave Fried
richsrnhe without fulfilling his mis-
sion. The emperor desired to see the
body, but the coffin was closed before
he could do so, although, according tC
the testimony of Professor Lembacb
neither were the features of Prince
Bismarck dIsfgured nor were there
any signs of decomposition. Wher
