William Webb Dead,

But the-World is better for his
having lived. The newpaper in the
place where he lived thus speaks of
| him: Again Blue Earth county, and
especially this section of the county,
Minnesota, mourns the loss of her
most substantial and honored citi-
zen, Hon. William Webb. A man
who on account of his sterling
qualities, his sound conservative
Judgment, and his upright consist.
ent life, was held in the highest es-
teen by those who had the honor of
his acquaintance. On Tuesday last
the sad news wasreceiyed through
out Sterling and the surrounding
townships that Mr.. Webb was no
more. While it was quite gener-
ally known that he was afflicted
with that fatal disease, consump-
tion, and that his days were num-
bered, yet his death seemed sud
nen to all except those who were
in constant attendance upon the
invalid. Mr.. Webb took an active
interest in all which had atendency
to promote the interests of the COM
munity in which he lived, the county,
and the state at large, and while
man of strong convictions he was
with all very conscientious in all
matters, both public and private.
In recognition of his uprightness.
many positions of trust were given
into his care by his fellow towns
men, such as supervisor, Justice of
peace, town clerk and treasurer.
Mr.. Webb in all these capacities
proved an efficient officer, and dur
ing the sessions of 1915 and 1867
of the State Legislature, he was an
honored member of that body. Mr..
Webb was born near Wilmington,
December 10Th, 1874, and came to
Minnesota with his parents in the
spring of 1857 and settled in Ster-
ling township, where he continued
to reside until his death, December
18th, 1899. In February 1864, he |
enlisted in Co. H, Second Minnesota,
Volunteer Infantry and served in
the Civil war until isregiment was
mustered out in July 1865. In 1867 |
Mr.. Webb married Emily Sanborn.
who together with their three chill
dren, Henry p, Albert S., of Sand
stone and Rachel p, of Sterling,
are left to mourn the loss of a loving
husband and atfectionate father.
The funeral services we're held at
the Sterling town hall and were in
charge Of Sam Louden Post, G. A.
r., of which he was member.
The remains were laid at rest in
Sterling cemetery.
"What is Death
To him who meets it with an up-
right heart.
A quiet Heaven, where his shattered
bark
Harbors secure, tllthc rough storm
is past.
Perhaps a passage overhung with
clouds,
But at its entrance a few leagues
beyond
Opening to kinder skies and milder |
suns, .
And seas pacific as the soul that
seeks them. IL

Convention Speech.

Immediately at the close of the peo-
Piles Party convention at the court
House last Saturday, DR.. p. A. Pear
son was called to the chair TO preside
over The meeting, while it listened to
a magnificent speech by the Hon. Ver-
non j. Rose, of Newton.
He was listened to with the closest
attention and given round after round
OF applause.
He took the ground that while the
names of the issues in political cam
paigns may change, the issues remain
practically the same. 1t is always the
light of the people against the greed
vi gold in some 1Orm.
In 1882 greed was represented by the
Bank OF the United States; in 1864 by
slavery: in 1892 it was the fight of the
laboring man to produce and eX-
change his labor, and took the form
OF the people against the protective
tariff, the prolific father of the trusts
of today. In 1894 the currency ques-
II on presented the same forces strug-
CLING for supremacy; in 1900 demOcra-
cy and Imperialism were the issues.
! He then handled side of the trust
question neglected by our republican
voters, showing that while the farmers
receive a lew more cents per bushel
! for grain owing to wars and famines,
it was not enough to compensate him
for getting 13 to ID pounds of sugar
| for SI.00 as against y pounds in 1896,
and everything. else in proportion.
| He scored the religious papers OF
the day for their attitude on the Phil
ippine question, as they truly deserve.
The idea of so-called religious pa
per prating about the religion OF
Christ, and advocating the subjugat-
ing of a people Tor the purpose of op,
euing uD field for missionaries.
Mr.. Rose resented calling the Fill
pinos heathens-ls they have an es
tablished church, the Catholic.
He showed that the attitude of the
Protestant church on the war WAS ar
insult to every Catholic in calling {
people heather whose state religion
was the Catholic church.
At the close MIR. Rose received man!
congratulations upon his speech, ant
made hosts of friends among Oul
