Death of e. f. chase.

/: For nearly year Esodon F. Chase,
one of the leading citizens of West
Union. an old settler well known
throughout this section of country has
been i'll with an affection of the lungs,
which eliminated in death On Monday
last at 10 a. m.
Mr.. Chase was born in Ohio in 1886
and at an early age with his parents
removed to Indiana, where he resided
until 1866, when he removed to Marion
Olmestead Co., MINI. Eleven years
later he removed to West Union upon
the farm which had since been his
home until his death.
In 1868, at Marion, he married Miss
Cynthia Pixley, and they were the
parents of seven children, four of
whom survive. viz: David E. of Long
Prairie; Mrs. Clara Wagner of Bee
ker, Sherburne Co.: Mrs. Lena st.
Clair of Portland, Ore, and William
Poi this city. Mrs. Chase died in 1890
and in 1899 he married Mrs. Rebekah
Sleeper, who survives him.
Deceased was man of sterling in
tegrity, pronounced views, loyal to
friends and locality. and whose worth
was felt and recognized in the COM
munity in which he lived. In all
matters OF public concern he took a
lively interest and was influential in
shaping local action and policies. In
every relation of life he was con-
scientious, and discharged every duty
with fearlessness. Candid and open
in every word and deed. No one was
ever in doubt as to his views, and pur-
poses. West Union has lost valu-
able citizen, and the individual resi-
dents a friend and neighbor" who will
long be remembered for his many vir-
tues, universal sympathy is expressed
for the bereaved members of his i'm
mediate family and relatives.

Mr.. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dor

"For several years have been almost
a constant sufferer from diarrhoea,
the frequent attacks completely pros
trating me and rendering me unfit for
my duties at this hotel. About two
years ago a travelling salesman Kindly
gave me small bottle of Chamber

Remedy. Much to my surprise and
delight its effects were immediate.
Whenever felt symptoms of the dis
ease would fortifY myself against

valuable remedy. The result has
been very satisfactory and almost
complete relief from the affection.

The Great pinkerton rhi1r=tl,ropist

We are both pleased and touched by the
polite attention of our friend Andrew Car
negie, who has sent The Times clip
ping which shows exactly what it is his
present interest TO think about expansion.
What especially brings tears 10 our
eyes is Andrew Carnegie's evident willing
ness TO sacrifice all else that American
labor may be benefited. But he has
always been that way from the old days
in Scotland. when he used TO tramp weary
scores of miles to take his annual wash
at the brig o Boutwell,. Unearned mil
lions have not overcome his identity with
or affection for the common people. Even
to this time there is not a gillie on his
splendid estate in Scotland who is not
treated as his equal when it comes to
blessing the Duke of Argyle, and We
know that he so loved his workmen /at
Homestead that he was willing 10 con-
: vince the last man Jack of them with
Pinkerton Winchesters. rather than have
them do the least thing he disapproved.
We arc therefore. delighted to find in
the epis;ie he sends Us a text from which
we could preach all day. He observes that
behind The products OF Cuba annexed,
coming free of duty. the woTkingman sees
the cheap laborers of the tropics. his then
! fellow citizens, in droves crowdng our
shores to compete"
| 1t Is possible that the workinEman may
see this. but. if so. it is because he and An
/ drew have been out together, and the re-
| suit is paralytic. II entirely sober the
workingman Will really see that nobody of
consequence has asked him to fellow-citi-
zenize Cuba by annexing it, and. if it were
! otherwise, he is not quite fool enough to
anticipate any serious competition from the
I kind OF Cheap laborers of the tropics in
1 droyes crowding our shores that 1t would
I be capable OF producing. Carnegie and his
kind have not heretofore objected 10 thai
! or any other sort OF cheap imported labor
! They are and always have been famous
! free traders, as far as that commodity is
concerned. They are truly alarmed at the
| certainty and consequences OF expansion
! and they would like to spread that alarm
among the toiling masses but it will not
work The Carnegie terror is the fact that
American colonial expansion will throw
down the tariff wall that has enriched for
eign residents like him at the expense of
our native labor. He will discover that
such revolution is not calculated 10 strike
pain TO the hearts of workingmen. They
! will be able TO survive the destruction of
The ancient provincialism and of Andrew
Carnegies monopoly without so much as a
single groan or shudder. Still. it was kind
and thoughtful i'll him to send us the print
ed matter. Our associations are so gener-
ally American that We hardly know how TO
act when treated 50 courteously by man
who lives in transatlantic castles ana
never appears in public save in a coach
and six. All, what lesson he is TO us all.
| With his career in mind any poor boy may
reasonably aspire 10 one day become 4 Car
negie or perhaps even Pinkerton.

At the beginning of this year II was
announced that a pension system would
be established in one of the big New York
department stores, the pensions to be paid
from an endowment fund of 500 900. con-

his death TO be placed in the hands of
trustees. Besides this. each employe has
been presented with Il life insurance policy

paid for the first year by the proprietor.

male employees the age of forty y-five years.

This scheme is something new in mer-
camille life, and will be regarded of
course, as a sort of experiment. obyi-
ously. the real benefit of the system to

on the way in which il is carried out, and

ENTERPRISE IN ECUADOR.
American Energy Comes to tho

that Ecuador is becoming one OF the most
important nations on the west coasI of
South America in its relation to the Unit
ed States.

contract approved by the late congress
to build railroad from Guayaquil TO the
city Of Quito at an estimated cost Of s1I,-

company is negotiating for contract to
build another railroad that viii cost many
millions Of dollars. Another American
company has secured the right to build
a tramway from Babahoyo to Balsapam-
Der which viii require a large sum of
money.
A company has been formed by Martin
Reinberg. an American citizen. and others
to build in Guayaquil a large cotton fac
tory. and in its interest the late congress
passed law authorizing the free fmporta-
tion of cotton. 1t is intended to build at

DR.. Joaquin d. Castillo was bound 10

community of Santiago generally, in the

was scing at once to Washington TO con-
suit with the authorities about several
matters relating 10 the present situation
in Santiago. He added:
Il have corae here to see President Nc
Kinley about certain matters relating to

believe in letting the United States have
full sway until the country is placed on its
feet so to speak Then we have confidence
that the United States will turn the coun-
try over to US. The island presents one OF
the best fields in the world for Investment.
There is an era of prosperity ahead for my

A GERMAN CONSPIRACY.
Manufacturers Combine to Kill the
Trade in American Bicycles.

According to Dean D. Mason, vice and
spiracy exists in Germany TO kill the sale
of American bicycles in that country.
Referring TO the subject. Consul Mason
says: Failing to obtain from the i'm
perial government the prohibitory import
duty on American bicycles which they have
so earnestly and persistently demanded,
the members of the German Bicycle 8ant-
facturers Association have decided upon
the following simple but ingenious plan 10
kill the American cycle trade in this coun-
try: From this time forward they viii
unanimously refuse all credit TO any dealer
who handles, as part OF his stock in trade,
4 bicycle OF American origin.
The probable effectiveness Of this meas
ure will be readily inferred from the fact
that the association includes in its mem-
bership nearly 1G0 of the most important
bicycle makers in Germany. who have been
accustomed hitherto to give to retail deal
ers from two TO four months credit, and
very liberal terms in respect to parts and
materials to be used in fulfilling guaran-
tees and making repairs Under this sys-
tem-men of energy and tact have been able
to turn their money over rapidly and do
large business upon a comparatively small
capital. Henceforward- If Il dealer in
American bicycles wishes to adapt his
stock TO all classes of purchasers by keep
ing in his assortment German made
wheel, he must pay cash for what he has
hitherto easily and cheaply obtained upon
long and elastic credits.
Since the majority OF independent hi
cycle dealers in Germany are in close busi-
ness relations with and under personal OBJ
legations to one or more manufacturers. it
is expected that the effect OF this heroic
policy will be to seriously injure the sale
of American bicycles. unless exporting
manufacturers in the United States take an
aggressive attitude. and, b. extending AMI
broadening their system Of credits and
backing up their best retail agents vigor-
ously. make the competition so hot that
the German makers. many of whom are
laden with unsold wheels brought over
from last season, will he compelled 10 make
peace by resembling the present decree
