Death of Madeline Gates.

Madeline Gates was born in st.
Cloud. Mimi, about the year 1871, and
died at her home in Hot Springs Janu.
ary 6, 1899. Miss Gates was the only
daughter of Alonzo Gates, prominent
lumber merchant in the Black Hills
since 1871. Her mother died when
she was two years old. A year or two
later her father gave her into the
charge of an aunt in Ohio with whom
she resided until the decease of the
aunt, about 1890. Then she came out
to her father in the Black Hills, max
ing her home with him for a year or
two and finally settling in H Ut Springs,
and making her home with Mrs.
Bumps.
Miss Gates had been in delicate
health for some time but her final sick
ness was of short duration-heart dis
ease being the cause of her death.
She was member of the Presbyterian
church and was consecrated and 10y
al worker so far as her strength per-
mitted. Her disposition was gentle
and kind; her life pure and good, and
her end peaceful and calm.
The funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church on Monday after
noon, Rev. Pearson officiating, and
basing his remarks upon the opening
words of the 14th chapter of John, the
the favorite chapter of the deceased.
Rev. Pearson preached a very appro.
pirate and eloquent sermon.
Mr.. Gates, father of deceased. did
not know of the serious illness of his
daughter until he received the tele-
gram the day before her death, and it
was impossible for him to reach here
until Friday night shortly after her
death, as he lives about 90 miles out of
Whitewood. To him and those to
whom Miss Gates had become dear,
the STAR joins with the community in
Offering sincere sympathy.

H-Major Webb said that he had tried TO
eat the beef occasionally whea. very
hungry. but never received any sati ST ao'
tion from It., except altar vegetables we re
some advantage.
:. You do not then regard 1t as asuitshle
ration for the armyf'
II do not" Major Webb replied, 'it Is
a weighty thing to carry and It is wnste
of time to eatit."
Major Webb said he had found the re.
frigeratzd beef generally good, though
some OF It became put-id In the hot
climate. He had never heard Of the EN-.
balmed beef u ntil he returned North.
Col. e. A. Woodruff, purchasing officer
for the commissary department at New
York, was recalled. He said he had re-
jectsd some tenders of canned TO asst beef
but that he did not remember the names
of bidders in any such cases.
Mr.. Morehouse, Armour's agent al
Tampa was then recalled. He said there
had been two instances In which the en-
tire oonsignments OF meat bad been re-
iected Mt Lakeland and on three OF
four other occasions portion of the
consignment had been refused. He re-
called visit to Lakeland early In Au-
gust, when one consignment was rejected
on the platform.
He said he had conversation with
Capt. Carmichael, but he did not remcm

been addressed to him concerning the
chemical preservation of the NEST. He
had never used any expression to anyone
to indicate TINT chemicals had been used.
Cross-examined, Mr.. Morebouse said he
believed his memory as to rejections

cornmissary officer of the army.
Col. Woodruff stated that in one In
stance canned beef which had been
shippci to Liverpool, Eng, was brought
back to this country and sold for the use
of the army. This purchase amounted to

with the view of selling 1t to the British
government Col. Woodruff had lstters
read from various firms engaged in eau

THREe MILLIONS MAY COME BACK
Unless Cuban Assembly Gives Up Army
Rolls No Mon cy VIII he Paid.

Havana, March 80. -Governor General
Brooke has almost made up his mind To
send the s3, 900. 600 back to the United
States If the Cuban military assembly
does not give up the army rolls.
You may as well do so, and not trifle
much longer" said Secretary Alger when
discussing the matter two days ago in
conference with General Brooke and Cen
eral Gomez The latter said that such IA
cou.se would serve the assembly right.
Anyway the impression IS spreading that
the Governor General may return the
money to Washington and it is stirring
up fresh feeling against the assembly.
General Ernst called upon the Cuban
general Portuendo, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee OF the assembly, three
days ago and asked for the rolls.
- Do you come from General Brooke.'
asked Portuendo.
yes" replied General Ernst.
"Oliolally or unotiicially?"
II come unoitcially," answered the
American officer.
"Then cannot give them up" re-
toTte1 Portuendo.

tion.''

General Gomez said:
II am ready to go home. L am tired or
