MISS RENA KIDD.


On New Years Day at eight o'clock
PM, Miss Rena Kidd of Glen Haven
bid farewell to her earthly friends
and relatives and joined the immortal
throng beyond. Rena was daughter
OF Mr.. Joe Kidd, 4 retired carpenter
Of Glen Haven, and .was thirty-seyen
years old. Sne had been sick only
few days and was not considered as
IN any danger, but that dread disease.
heart failure, carried her suddenly
away. Rena was an estimable Young
lady OF an unspotted character. SHE
was born and raised in Glen Haven,
and OF all who ever knew her. not one
can recall single word that was ever
spoken against her. In this world of
temptation and sin few indeed there
are Of whom it can be said. Here is
one, who overcame all temptation
and lived truly upright life but
Miss Rcna was one OF the very few.
She lived truly virtuous, unsinful
life. She joined the Methodist Church
in her early girlhood and has always
taken an active part in church work.
She was one of the leaders in the
Glen Haven Sunday school, and was
loved and respec ted by all of her pu-
pills and associates. Deceased leaves
a father and mother Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Kidd, two sisters. Miss Mabel, who
is the leading clerk in c. L. Knapp's
store in Glen Haven, Mrs. Maude
Neubauer, who was recently married
and resides near here. three brothers,
Victor, who lives in Nebraska, Valda,
living in Iowa, and Edward, who lives
at home, also large circle of friends,
who mourn her as one of their own
family.
She was laid to rest in the Charlotte
Cemetery near Glen Haven, Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. +. b. Schoenfield of
Bloomington conducting the funeral
services. A large crowd of sorrowing
frinds and relatives followed her to
her last resting place. Words cannot
express the love and high esteem with
which this departed girl was regarded
by all her acquaintances. May she
rest in peace in the Home prepared
for her, and to which she has gone to
claim her reward.
Dear Rena. you have left Us
Left US here to mourn alone
But the God above who loved you.
Now has claimed you for his own.
You have left behind your parents
They to whom you were so dear
And large circle Of dear friends,
You have left so lonely here.
But we know that you have entered
The golden gate to realms above
To dwell with the holy angels
Forevermore in peace and love.
so wen try to bear our sorrow
And 10 say THY will be done,
But we II strive To meet you. Rena.
To dwell with the Holy One. o A. X.

certain of starting from here on the
10th of next February. Preparations
for the start are being made on every
hand. In the hustle of preparation
all other ills of life are forgotten for
the moment. Huge dogs are being
shipped into our city from outlying
districts. and as some dog as large as
a calf trots through the streets drag
ging some man or boy after him at

men, who would not leave their posts

lies buried the treasure that will give

The gentlemen going from here have
thus far 16 dogs, but they will have

TRAGEDY AT KENNETH SQUARE
One Boy Accidentally Killed and
Another Wounded Through the
Careless Handling of
a Gun.

Frederick Brown, of Nottingham, was
accidentally killed and Charles Broomall,
of Wilmington, shot, on Sunday while
visiting friends at Kennett Square.
Brown and Charles Broomall were in a
room of the farm house with a celored
boy about Is years old. Broomall stood
looking out of a window with his back
to Brown, who was facing the col, red
boy, Norman Webster from Lincoln, an
employe about the place.
Webster picked up gun that was in
the room and began handling and ex-
perimenting with it when sharp report
was heard and Fred Brown fell to the
floor, shot through the left shoulder.
The ball tore its way through the
clavicle bone and severed the carotid
artery.
Brown died of hemorrhage in few
moments and Broomall, who stood lust
behind him, received thirteen grains of
the shot in the back of his head. He
was not seriously wounded, the shot
only entering his scalp.
The colored boy ran from the house.
All efforts to find Kim had failed Monday
evening and it is thought he probably
started for his home. He bore good
reputation for industry and straight
forward behavior.

Will Have to Explain

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Colonel r. P.
Hughes, 1nspector-General, with head.
quarters at New York City, was at the
War Department today on mission from
General Merritt in connection with the as
signment of regular troops to accom-
pany the Philippine expedition soon to
start from San Francisco. General
Merritt's preference for larger number
Of regulars than it was proposed by the
Department to give him has been know
here for some time, and his views on
that subject are shared by many of the
army officers. They realize that
General Merritt has delicate and
important duty to perform as
Military Governor of the Philippines
and they agree in expr ssing the opinion
that the General should have an adequate
and well disciplined force az his COM
mand to maintain order in a city filled
with discordant elements. There are not
enough regulars in the West to furnish
the number that General Merritt thinks
should be sent on the expedition and
consequently Secretary Alger and the
Department officials have been consider
ing the advisability of withdrawing
about three of the infantry regiments
from Tampa, where a large number are
now rendezvoused, and of despatching
them post haste to the Pacific Coast.
These men are well seasoned and
thoroughly disciplined and are just the
kind General Merritt believes should be
sent on the transpacific trip.
Captain Jesse M. Lee, Of the 9th In
fantry, who has been stationed at Tampa
recently, reported at army headquarters
today, in response to telegraphic instruc-
tions, ana it may be he is here with re-
ference to the sending of some of the
troops now there to the Philippines.
General Gree'y, Chief Signal Officer, is
making arrangements to send detach-
nent of six officers and fifty-fve men,
largely of telegraph officers and eectri-
clans, to accompany the Philippine cx-
DeditiOn
