The Transportation Of Troops Hai

Already Begun.
II Is the belief of Gen Fitzhugh Lee
that. should there be no hitch in the
transportation arrangements. the entire
Seventh Army Corps will be on Cuban
soil by December 20
Regarding the transporting of this corps
to Cuba. the following telegram was re-
ceived by Quartermaster General Lud-
dington from MAJOR Bellinger, who is in
charge of the transportation of troops
from Savannah:
.'The following are The arrangements:

The first American garrison for Havana
| will consist of the Eighth and Tenth
| Regular Infantry Regiments. and they
| will be doing duty in that city within a
week.
In order to facilitate their embarka-
| ton. the War Department will not wait
| for troop ships, but will employ the Plant

| liner Saratoga will go at once to Charles
| ton and take about 600 men of the Tenth
Infantry to Havana. She will make the
round trip in five days in order TO take
the remainder of the regiment by next
Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime
Plant liners will be conveying the Eighth
Infantry to the Cuban capital and wi

and staff, and the Two Hundred and

yesterday that Gen. Lawton will be the
permanent commander of the Fourth
Army Corps. with headquarters at Hunts

regarded as a reserve force, and it is,

The Menace of the Trusts.
From the pbiladelnbia Ledger,


Benjamin Harrison, in the course of an address
in the campaign of 1896, declared that the Re-
publican party was not afraid 10 meet the issue
involved in the growth of trusts; that the party
would provide legislation to protect the CON
sumer and the laborers from the effects of
monopoly. The Republican party, however, has
not attempted any satisfactory solution of the
problem. General laws the subject of trusts
are difficult to frame, and almost impossible to
enforce. The close relations between influential
politicians and the trust magnates have been
bar to remedial legislation. As for those COM
binations which do not depend upon high tariff
for their success, many and varied are the
remedies suggested; but. with respect to the
trusts that have waxed fat on restricted or pro.
hibited imports, there is an available form of
relief, viz: the absolute repeal of all duties
which now enable them TO piunder the 20 ,ooo, 600
OF consumers. and the multtudes of workmen
whom they deprive of work and wages. and af

DIED..

On Sunday evening, September Is,
1898, at9: 30 o'clock, Theodore Wood, ;
aged 80 years and six months, died
at the home OF. Mrs. w. Wood,
Warren, MINI. -. - -
The funeral services were held at
the home on Tuesday at 2 o'clock p.
m, Rev. E. F. Spicer officiating.
The maiden name of the deceased
was Theodore Woodwork. She was
born in New York state, 1905, and
was married to James Wood in 1884.
After spending some years in New
York state the couple came west and
located first at Battle Greek, Mich,
then in Durand, Wis.,, and finally in
Warren, MINI.
Both Theodore and James Wood
lived lives that were remarkable in
many respects. Both lived to re-
markable age, he having died some
seven years since at the age of 90,
and she having reached the same age
lacking six months. Both had re-
markable strength, being able TODD
as heavy days work at seventy five
as at twenty-five years of age Both
were remarkable for their intelligence.
They were not only highly gifted
naturally, but enjoyed degree of
cultivation which is the lot of but
few. Books, papers and magazines
were their constant companions till
the last. - j*4& 80 ~t@;zt'-: .. ..-
Grandma Wood, at the age of 81,
was as thoroughly posted on the
events OF the Spanish-American war,
and took as lively an interest in the
affairs of the country, as did any
young person of her day.
Both were remarkable for their
piety. They were converted when
young, and were each faithful and
efficient members of the Methodist
Episcopel church for more than 20
years. They were "Living epistles
known and read of all men," The
influence OF their lives remains like
sweet incense, and will continue for
years to bless their memory. They
were faithful unto death and are now
enjoying their reward. They have
gone to their rest and their works
do follow them. .s>'
Both James and Theodore Wood
have left large circle of friends, not
only to mourn their loss, but to re-
joice over the happy consummation
OF their lives. .: ..-
Theodore Wood was the mother
of two children, Warren W. and Mel
lie Wood. Her daughter, now Mrs.
Fox, of Durand, Wis.,, still survives
her. i
No pains were spared to make
Grandma's last days her best days.
She found in Mrs. w. w. Wood a
daughter in deed and in truth; one
who loved and cherished her 20 the
last.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity is extended to those who
mourn.
