john Bloom.
grave.

Mr.. John Bloom died at his home
near this city, on Friday, January n,
after an illness of many years, aged
81 years.
The deceased was u veteran of the
Civil war, having enlisted in Co. f.
4lst Wis. Vol. Inf After the war was
over, he returned to Mineral Point,
and soon married and settled upon
his farm in Lost Grove. He was a
good Industrious citizen, faithful
soldier and II kind neighbor and
friend.
The funeral took place on Monday
with services in St. Paul's Catholic
church, conducted by Rev. James
O'kccfe, who in his sermon paid an
eloquent tribute to the life and char
acter of the deceased, who, he said
was II good Christian and II good
citizen. The one implies the other.
The good Christian is always the
good citizen, with love for God, and
for his fellow man, whence springs
true patriotism. Christianity teaches
the best citizenship and bestows upon
nations and individual blessings and
privileges which, when rightly used,
bring peace and progress to the
world. The deceased, he said, en-
dcavored to fulfill his duties and re-
sponsibilities, by living the life of Il
true Christian, in kindness and love
for his fellow men.
At the close of the service the re-
mains were followed by members of
George Fl. Legate Post and others, to
their last resting place in st. Paul's
cemetery,
The deceased leaves to mourn their
loss, his wife and eight children -
four sons and four daughters one
son, John, being member of the
U. s. Army in the PHILIPPINES.
Whereas, 1t has pleased the SUI
premo Commander Of the universe to

Cannot Force Civilization.

The Prescott Tribune:
1t IL u fact OF history that cannot be
gainsaid that men cannot be civilized
by force from without. The law Is
universal that mans salvation must
be wrought from within. He may be
given the proper environments, he may
be given churches, schools, teachers
and preachers, he may be given books
and papers clothing and luxuries and
still be nothing more than the Hotten-
tot dressed In n napkin and plug hat,
or the vulgar ward-politician with II
diamond shirt stud and u foul breath
unless he Wills to be different, and Of
his own accord raises himself out of
his degradation, Forcing civilization
upon people has been tried again and
again and M often has been failure
and disastrous to the people to be civ
ilized. A people like an individual
must work out It's own salvation.
No matter In what way this country
may assume control of the Phillip
pines, IL can benefit the natives only
w IL secures to them the privilege OF
working out their destiny In their own

The February Century.

The Midwinter number of The Cent
ury February is remarkable for the
variety and interest Of its articles on
other than military subjects, yet it
finds room for no less important a
contribution to the history of the late
war than an account of the part
played by the army in THE Capture
of Santiago de Cuba" the historian
being the commander of the American
forces, Major-Gen. William X. Shat
ter. The General writes with force
and spirit, and his article, without
being reply to the criticisms that
have been made on his conduct of the
campaign, will nevertheless dispose of
many of them. and clear up cloud of
misappreilensions. The current in
stallment OF Lieut.. Hobsons fully

but with becoming modesty. the ex-

them, tor the purpose intended. When
the complete right Of way is secured,
the company will then receive proposals
for the building OF the road. There is no
farther any question with the farmers of
this territory that the railroad Is to be
built but how oon Some interesting
figures in connection with the building
Of the railroad have been secured. It ,s
shown that il the railroad will advance
the value OF farm lands in it's territory S.
an acre, it will mean an increase in the
value Of this property OF more than 81.
100000, That the road will bring this
increase in farm values is beyond ques.
ton. Now in order to reach market
from this territory q haul Of from ten to
twenty miles is required. The matter OF
a shorter haul is OF the utmost import
ance to these farmers and they all recog.
nize it. A careful computation OF the
amount OF freight business that the pro.
posed road would furnish upon a number
Of different bases, shows that 1t will even
ut the present reach more than 10000
carloads q year. With the right OF way
donated and the amount Of business
that the road can secure, established be-
You'd question, the company has grounds
for believing that they will experience
little trouble in the building Of their
railroad. Farther work on securing the
right OF way will be pushed rapidly from
this time on and by the end OF this
month General Manager Cotton will have
his complete report. At that time there

Of the past week, eSpectlly since the later
exports of gold figure in the totals only
slightly. But as the former weeks losses
were not shown at the time, the averages
are about correct. The difficulty in under
standing the weekly statement lies in the
fact that the system of computation en-
ployed tends to minimize or eXaggerate
real conditions. The feature of the cur
rent statement Is the remarkable expan-
sion of S15, 9e2, 900 in loans, a sum very
much larger than anticipated.
There has been, it IS true, some re-
vival in stock exchange activity, but not
enough to warrant a violent increase,
such as shown in the loan account. Prob
ably portion OF the previous weeks
business has been carried into the pres
ent statement. Following the expansion
of nearly Sl1, 600 600 for the week ending
June TO- the total loan increase of 25,0G0,
000 and over in two weeks makes plain
why reserves are decreasing, as the gold
shipped to Europe has not affected the
totals to the extent described. The de-
post expansion of $9,93S, 400 has increased
reserve requirements obout 81. 100000, and
this, with the loss in specie, decreases tbs
reserve by 1913, 800, making a reduction
in the last two weeks in this item of over
SIP, Co., 000.- Still, as the present reserve is
very much above the average reported
over the spring months the current de-
crease is not Overwhelmingly important.
The interest centers in the question of
how much further the liabilities of the
banks are to be expanded and whether
the operations now at work will have
the effect of raising money rates. The lat
ter possibility is by no means uncertain"
