Death.

Death has again visited our
neighboring city of Council
Bluffs, and taken one of its dis
tinguished citizens, Hon. William
Cowles James, who was born in
Elmira, Laramie County, Ohio,
Jan. ], 1880, age 60 years, 8 months
and 2 days. He was a leading
politician in the early age of wes-
tern Iowa, coming to Council
Bluffs in 1853, and soon become a
prominent citizen, having held the
Office of county Judge, alderman,
mayor of the city, was the demo-
cratic candidate for state treasur-
er in 1877, and once a candidate
for lieutenant governor on the
democratic ticket. He was a
Knight Templer and one of the
former members of the Masonic
fraternity in Council Bluffs.
He was man of energy, strict in
tegrity, and public spirited, hav-
ing erected the James block on
the corner Of Broadway and
Main streets, where it still stands
as monument of his enterprise.
Judge James was a man highly
respected, a leader of his party in
his county, affable and liberal to
friends and kind to strangers. His
funeral will take place Wednes-
day from st Paul's Episcopal
church, and interment will be IN
Fairview cemetery.
The commanding person of
Judge W G James, long citizen
of Council Bluffs, has passed
away, and his ashes will rest in
the beautiful burying grounds of
that city, there to remain until
that day when all must come
forth to be judged and receive q
just reward for the deeds done in
the body.

The Physicians having in charge the
young Hansen boy who was injured a
few days ago, today made thorough
examination of his condition, and are
greatly encouraged over the progress
he is making. In their opinion, if nc
farther complications arise, and from
present indications no such a thing
will happen, the ultimate results OF
his injuries will not be of so grave q
nature as at first apprehended.

Navy and the Army.

The little table Of figures given
out q few days ago showing the
number Of deaths and casualties
in the army and navy during the
war with Spain Is eloquent in de-
nunciation of Algerian. The
table follows:
The Army
Killed in action. ............ 329
Died of wounds. ......... 1875
Died of diseases. 80. ....... .5277
The Navy
Killed in action. 81. ........ II
Died of wounds. ............ l
Died of diseases. =. ........ /
The navy was subjected to just
as great strain, under climatic
conditions much worse than the
average endured by The army, but
the figures express the difference
between Algerism and honest and
sensible management Of the affairs
of the navy.
We have no doubt that the navy
and the army have been in perfect
accord all the time and are SO now,
but these figures show variance
that cannot be whitewashed by
any commission.-Sioux Falls

such numbers that when they fly the

are tame and they snap at the gar
