this country or for Porto Rico, would
work nothing but ruin and hardship to
the Philippines and thwart the very
purposes of benevo1ence and good will
which are now entertained; when tits
seen that the Democratic doctrine
would compel the desertion of the
islands and that it necessarily denies
to the nation the right to exercise its
inherent powers as nation, forever
stinting it's growth and, forcing it to
abandon it's mission of liberation and
civilization, there will be no question
to which side the masses will incline.
And that question will be probed to
the bottom in the next few years if not
in the next few months. IF the Demo
cratic party insists upon making an
issue of ''imperia1isn'' it is welcome
to all it can make out of it. President
Mckinley has but asserted the common
sense of the American people, which
they will reassert next November at
the po11s.--St. Paul Pioneer Press.

NOTICED FOR TRIAL.
Miss seery to Make Another Attempt to
Secure Damages.

The Jurors of Kenosha county will
be forced to listen to the wrongs OF
Lillian Seery again at the coming term
of the Circuit Court, as the attorney
for the young lady, Wallace ingalls,,
has filed notice that the case against
George Leet will be tried then. While
the suit against Leet will not attract
as much attention as the former one
against Lafayette Cook.
Mr.. Leet is we'll known among the
people of Somers and the court room
will not be large enough to hold the
people DESTROYS of hearing the highly
sensational testimony which will be
offered. The case against Lafayette
and Emertia Cook has also been motto
ed for trial.
It will be remembered that the young
lady obtained a judgment against
Cook at the last term of the Circuit
Court. Not being able to collect it it
is supposed that the suit has been
brought against Mrs. Cook to prohibit
the couple from evading payment of
the Judgment by the usual transfer of
property. At the same time the attor-
ney for Miss Seery has noticed for trial
the garnishee action recen t1y brought
against Mrs. Cook.
With the Seery cases on trial the
coming term is certain to be an excit-
ing one.

AN EARLY SETTLER DEAD.
Mrs. Della Derbyshire Passes Away at Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa. ct the Age of SO Years.


Pleasant, Iowa. ct the Age of SO Years.
Word has just been received of the
death of Mrs. Della L. DERBY shire,
aged 90, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, March
2, 1900.
This announcement will cause feel
ing of sadness in the hearts of many
an old settler of Pleasant Prairie, who
will recall the beautiful character of
this dear woman. Coming to this
country one of the first early settlers,
her husband, S. S. Derbyshire, being
the first Postmaster, she had ample
opportunity to display the promptings
of her noble and generous nature, and
or want failed TO receive
from her sympathy or assistance,
and the twinge of calumny or reproach
but brought from her christian heart
expressions of forbearance and charity
and many are the thought1ess and
wayward who could now tell of the
cheerful words of hope and comfort
given by her which recalled them to a
better and nob1er life.
Transformations and retiring in her
nature, only those who knew her best
knew her true worth, and not only
cher children rise up and call her
blessed, !" but large circle of acquaint
ances, could testify to her many vir-
tues.
Since the death of her husband she
has lived with her daughters, Mrs.
Walter Morgan and Mrs. A. Lafkin,
in Newton, Iowa, where her remains
will be laid by the side of her husband
and her brother, Charles F. Morgan,
who preceded her to the tomb short
sln1e ago.

Russell People Are Excited over a We'd
ding Which is Said to Have Occurred Here.
The little town of Russell down near
the State Line is experiencing period
of anxiety. Some time ago it was re-
ported that two of the young people of
the village had been married, but it
seems that they have not found fit to
be confidential with any one and the
matter has come to be the one matter
of interest in the town. This morning
one of the county officials received the
following letter:
Russell, Lake Co., ILL.,, March S,
1900-Dear Sir:-Can you tell me if a
young man by the name of August
Peterson and young lady by the
name of Maggie -- got license to
get married at your office within the
last ten days or two weeks. Any other
information you can give me will be
appreciated.
Yours truly,
JAS. A. REEVES.
The official made strict examina-
ton of the records of the county, but
no license had been issued to Mr..
Peterson and Maggie --. Judge
S1osson was also questioned, but he
reports that he has issued no rush
license for the marriage of the parties.

Death of Curtis I. Gale.

BY the death of Curtis j. Gale, which
occurred at his home on Thursday
evening of last week, Corunna and the
county of Shiawassee lost one of its
best known and most highly respected
citizens. For many years he was
prominent in city and county affairs,
Masonic circles, and in a social way.
For the past few years, however, fail
ing health had compelled him to give
up in large degree the various duties
which had always been pleasure to
him.
Mr.. Gale was born in New York City
in April, 1897, and came to Michigan
with his parents in 1910, locating in
Ingham county. After attending school
and obtaining far more than an aver
age education, he went to Jackson and
learned the trade of painter. In 1855
he removed to Corunna, spending some
time in the numbering business in the
woods and then entered the law Office
of S. T. Parsons and was admitted to
the Shiawassee bar He served both
the village and city of Corunna in diff
ferent ofiices-trustee, assessor, mayor,
secretary of the school board, supervi-
sor, justice of the peace, holding the lat
ter Office for SO years. While super
visor he served three terms as chairman
of the board. He also filed the Office
of circuit court commissioner in very
acceptable manner. Mr.. Gale was a
staunch republican. For years he was
active in Masonic work, being a mem
Der of Corunna lodge F. & A. NJ, r. A.
M, r. & S. NJ, and Corunna Com
mandery.
Mr. Gale was married in 1853 to Miss
Julia M. Preston, who died in 1878; to
them were born two children, Frank c.,
of Corunna, and Grace, who died in
childhood. In September, 1880, he was
married to Miss Samantha Parmenter.
of Shiawassee, who survives him with
one son, Joseph, another son having
died in infancy. His family relations
were ideal
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon under the auspices of
Corunna Commandery Knights Tenn
plar, nearly one hundred members OF the
order being in line, led by the Owosso
Junior band. Rev. Blanchard, of Yer
non, officiated.
In speaking of Mr. Gale. the Journal
says:
"As an adviser in law he was most
frequently sought by all classes of men
in an unofficial way, by these means,
saved an untold amount of litigation.
He was a most generous and liberal
man, and no worthy person ever sought
his assistance that went away empty
handed. His charities, like his work,
was done quietly and without any os-
tentation, and in this manner he>has
given away thousands of dollars that
the public knew but little about"
