Death of a Former Resident Of this City

Mrs. Wilson Williams, for many
years resident of this city, died at
Savanna, Ill, Monday morning Of
this week. From the Journal of that
place is CLEANED the following:
Mrs. w. Williams, who has for
many years been in poor health, an
swered the call of the Reaper at $40
this Monday morning. While the
lady has been unwell for "a long time
her death comes as shock to her
family and friends. About a week
ago she was taken to her bed and
continued to grow worse and it was
evident to the faithful watchers that
the life of their beloved mother was
drawing to n close. MIS-. Williams
was woman devoted to her home
and children. In the home was her
world and here by her kind and gen.
tie manner had she gained the conf
dence of her children and they keenly
feel their great loss. As a friend and
Sit NdS ioNtA tiit toittiil-
ed and it Is the truth to say that
truly good woman has gone to her
reward.
Anna Rule was born in England
about 81 years ago. She came to this
country as "a child and was married,
to Wilson Williams AZ years ago.
Six children we're born to hem, Fred
Harry and Frank and Mrs. Ed.
Briggs, of this city, Mrs. Lizzie Nc
Cormac, of Milwaukee, and Mrs
Daisy Smith, of Kankakee. All were
present at the parting, and with her
were privileged to partake OF the
Lords supper on Sunday night. Mrs.
Williams was mamber of the Nj. h.
church and was an earnest christian
woman. The husband and father
passed away about ten years ago.
Shortly after his death the family
came to Savanna to reside.

day morning, the body to be laid to

The mass meeting at PlatteVille
last week to discuss the question of
municipal ownership of an electric
light plant adjourned without def
mite action being taken. The press
of that place report the trend OF the
meeting as seemingly in favor OF mu-
nicipal ownership. But upon the Of
fer of the company now lighting the
city to continue the same at reduced
rates. it is thought by some of the
citizens it would be best to make
contract Herewith. From this 1t
would appear that the mass meeting
had the effect of securing light for
less money, if nothing more.

CalifoYuia's WoefuI Plight,


John H. Wiley is in receipt Of a letter
from his son, Guy G. Wiley, from Fresno
county, California, dated January 2. He
writes that he had tough time passing
through barren, desolste plains. where
the sky was dotted with the floating
forms OF buzzards that marked with glost-
ing eye the forms Of half famished, bag
gard brutes, staggering over the grass
less plains below. Ihave seen thousands
of thin, colorless faces OF men, women
and children half starved and emaciated
beyond belief gazing in despairing hope.
lessness at the barren fields where the
seed had dry rotted in the earth, destroy.
ing the last hope of success after the fall
ure from last seasons drought, and yet
no rain"
He further says: Crossing the plains
and coming into the mountains on the
eastern side, the greatest mining region
in the United States, found every mill
was still" The people were in q semi
state OF starvation; and even in Fresno,
an irrigated section, water is 90 scarce
that with the greatest economy only q
half crop can be raised. Yakima, he re-
marks, has nothing to fear from Cali

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

The Edwards MuIti-MiIlions.

On Decem Der ! The HERALD published
exclusively the account of wonderful
windfall amounting to 1896 900 900, the
landed value OF A acres in the heart of
New York city, in which several of the
direct descendants Of Robert Edwards,
who died possessing the land in fee, ex.
pected to receive their rightiul share of
the estate. The Tacoma Ledger last Fri
day had particulars which are here re-
produced:
There are several Tacoma families
who can trace their ancestral tree back
tc the day when Robert Edwards was a
large part Of the tree, who expect soon to
receive portion OF great fortune from
an action of the venerable Robert.
Samuel Thornton, an expressman. and
a family named Hopkins are said to be
the local heirs. Ernest Lister is a SON.
in'law OF Mr.. Thornton, and Mrs. Bessie
Bass, a daughter, presdes over the hos
iery department of the Peoples store.
THE story OF the origin of the fortune
reads like fairy tale. According to the
story told, Robert Edwards leased As
acres extending from Canal street to the
bsv in New York city to King George.
The lease was granted in colonial days
and was for term of nnety-nine years.
King George became reckless and sub.let
the tract. 1t was finally sold subject to
10 I'll
ment buildings and much other valuable
property was involved.
'In 1876 one of the heirs invested
fortune in unraveling the tsngle eur.
rounding the property. He made several
abstracts, and finally, in 1896, was ready
to settle the case. 1t is said Edwards
secured powers of attorney from 200 or
more heirs and agreed to compromise on
the basis of 1885 100000.
"When this amount had been realized
the heirs sought more. and repudiated
the action of Edwards. He became dis
gusted and refused to have anything
more to do with it. but finally the courts
decided the compromise would have to
stand. Investigation was commenced
to locate all the heirs and parcel out the
cash. 1t is now believed they have been
all rounded up and some 300 or more are
ready for the division.
"Mrs. Bass said yesterday that the To-
cal heirs had employed we'll known To-
cal attorney to investigate for them, and
he said the settlement would probably be
ready for them in three months. When
1t is made Mrs. Bass proposes to 60 to
Paris for two years. The local attorney
interested says he has not investi gated
far enough to learn the basis Of the story,
but ia inclined to believe there is some
foundation for it. He is reluctant to be
known in connection with the case.
"WhethsY the fortune may or may not
be realized, there are at least two Tacoma
families who have planned the outlay Of
the money"

IS 1T RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News. Brevrad.
n. G.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
recommend any or the various
medicines which flood the
market. yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it duty to say n good
word for Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure.
but we do believe that If bottle of
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
