DEATH OF H. B. HUBERT.
Another Old Resident Gone.

H. B. Hubert died at his home last
week Thursday night of difficulties
arising from rupture. AS Mrs. HUI
bert was in Los Angeles at the time, the
body was kept till after her arrival, ana
the funela services were held yesterd y
forenoon at the house, DR.. Bruske
Offic ating. Remains were laid to rest
in Riverside cemetery. The shock and
sudden change of climate together,
Frustrated Mrs. Hubert so that she was
unable to sit up at the funeral.
Horace Burr Hubert was native OF
Utica, n Y, and g. years OF age at the
time of his death. Two sisters, Mrs. l..
p. Collins and Mrs. Il. Radford OF
Ashtabula O., survive him. Mrs.
Radford was present at the funeral.
Mr. Hubert moved with his people to
Ashtabula, O., in SO, and came from
there to Alma in 81, when there were
only few houses here. James Gargett
came with him and the two men plated
the town the northeast part being known
as the Gargett addition. They engaged III
business and kept general store together
which was located not far from where
the union depot now stands.
In 90 and go Mr.. Hubert erected a
three story frame building. 53xS0, one
part of which he used for his store, and
the rest was used as a warehouse for q
time but was later finished off into q
hotel, which was kept open till it burned
III n. This building was situated just
east of where Mr. Holmes warehouse is
now located. The store was successfully
occupied by Mr.. Hubert himself, by II
A. Delavan and by a representative OF
A. w Wright. all of whom kept ;
general stock.
Mr.. Hubert was married to Mis-
Belle Depew of Muskegon, April, 18th
1878. The ceremony was performed IL
Grand Rapids by the Rev. Geo. Barnes
In Jan. 'S2 child was born to them bu
died few months later.
Since the hotel burned Mr.. Huber
has not been actively engaged in bust
ness duties owing to failing health. bu
previous to that time he was very activ
and much that Alma enjoys today is tn
fruit of his labors.

The incident in connection with Tho
Spanish Minister DeLome, which has
been causing so much stir in the world
at large, as well as in the two countries
especially interested, has been regarded
by many as having an important bear
ing on the fiual outcome OF the Cuban
struggle and our relations to both Cuba
and Spain. But such results are not as
apparent now as when the stolen letter
was first published. Senior DeLome
certainly showed his good sense by re
signing his position as soon as he learned
that the letter would be published, and
Spain showed still better Judgment by
accepting his resignation and as soon a.
the proper investigation could be made,
scored the minister roundly and denied
his statements of SPANS insincerity II
Offering autonomy to the Cubans. Presl'
dent Mckinley and Secretary Sherman
are certainly to be congratulated foi
their prompt vigorous treatment OF tn,
case. On the other hand Spain is no.
to be condemned for her seeming delay
as nothing of this sort should be don,
hastily. One benefit to both countries
will be an increased knowledge OF in
ternational relations.

While the people of Alma were in the
midst of mourning for the dead this
week. an additional shock was given
them by the sudden death Wednesday
afternoon of Hubert Ewing, the ten year
old son of Prof and Mrs. j. I. Ewing
Hubert came down with the measles

But his condition was not thought
dangerous till Tuesday evening, and

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Lyman Cohoon Passes Away.

Mrs. Cohoon had been in failing health
for several weeks, but her sudden death
early Wednesday morning was probably
due TO an attact OF heart failure. Flu.
neral services will be held in the M. T..

local time, Rev. M. ID. Carrel officiating.
Remains will be laid to rest in Riverside
cemetery.
On inquiry we learned that the birth
of Nancy J. Holmes occurred Mar. 2'th
1910, in Wyandotte county, o., being
the third of five children. She
was "a farmers daughter and later
became farmers wife. In "a she re-
moved to this county with her parents
who settled on farm near the Pine
River school house
In 81 she was married to Lyman
Cohoon, who came to this county
the same year as her parents. Since
that time they have lived most OF
the time in Alma and can boast OF
thirty. seven years residence in Alma
and vicinity They first lived on the
site of their new residence, and later
where the Sarah Villa now stands.
Eight children were born to them, siA
whom together with their father remain
to mourn the loss of devoted wife anC
mother.

The insistence of certain beet-sugar
manufacturers that farmers Will be com
PEELED TO accept lower rates for their
beets in case of the annexation OF Hawan
is looked upon by those who examine the
matter closely from the standpoint at
Washington, where all information bear
ing upon this subject centers, as UNI
warranted by facts and prospective con-
ditions. The Republican party has been
from the first the most earnest supporter
of the beet sugar industry, and thous'
ands of its leaders who are studying this
subject in the interests of those engaged
in the production are confident that no
disadvantages will come TO sugar
raisers from the annexation of Hawaii,
and that attempts of beet-sugar manu-
facturers to create sentiments against
the annexation which has been so long
favored by the Republican party will not
be approved by the people, and that they
will not be able to carry out their pro
gram of reducing prices of beets which
they are now proposing, apparently fol
the purpose of creating sentiment agains
the pending annexation measure. o.
course annexation will not increase the
amount of sugar imported from Hawai-
since sugar from the island has come IL
free for many years.

More than dozen countries entered
solemn protest at Washington during
the discussion of the Dingley bill against
the enactment of that measure, intimat-
ing broadly that if its protective duties
were adopted il would compel action by
those countries which would be to the
disadvantage of our expectations to them.
That this was mere empty threat Is
shown by developments since that time
The Dingley law was enacted without
any reference TO the protests IN question
and it now develops that these countries
have bought more from us since the en-
actment of the Dingley law than they

Germany's recent action in excluding
American fruits from her markets upon
the pretense that they bring into the
country insects injurious TO the fruit in
terests is looked upon by the officials on
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington as simply another instance of the
hospitality Of that country to American
products. The excuse for this action Is,
from investigation made, without any
foundation. 1t is very evident that the
German animus is TO be directed against
American products wherever opportu-
nifty offers, and if opportunity does not
offer, one will be made. This action on
the part of the Prussian officials is SINH
lar to action taken sometime since affect
ing American meats. Strenuous efforts
have been made by this government 60

with. 1t seems time that Germany as

unless Germany in this case promptly
