OBITUARY..
EMMA GERTRUDE cAwARD.

Emma Gertrude Caward, daughter
of Mrs. Frank Sayre, was born at
Fayette, Iowa, May %, 1877, and died
at the residence of Frank Sayre in
West DEBORAH, June I, 1900. Her
early years were spent at Cresco, Ia,
whence the family moved to st. Paul
where she lived until the early partof
1897, since which time she has lived at
the home of Mr.. Sayre in West Deco
rah. Such is the brief story of her
life, a tale that's quickly told, but it's
purity and sweetness will always re-
main a cherished memory.
At times, for many years, a great
sufferer, she bore her suffering cour-
ageously and without complaint. At
all times genial, happy and hopeful.
and with a smile and word of good
cheer for one and all. Ambitious to
accomplish something and to make
her place in life, her plans were far
beyond her physical strength, and
were never to be realized, but to her
they were realities. She stood mo-
ment on the threshold of woman-hood
and full of hope and happiness, and
love of life, looked out upon the UNI
known world, and 'cre life's morning
dream had dispelled by mid-day's
stern realities, the unseen hand was
laid upon her and her lips were sealed
in death. Death came to her in the
early morning hours and she died as
peacefully as she had lived. She
passed away "liEe one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant Dreams" A
host of friends and acquaiatances and
a bereavcd family mourn her loss, and
though the dews of death have gath
cred on her brow, and tho her voice
is stilled forever, the influence OF her
sweet unsellish life will never be en-
tinguished. DEBORAH Journal.

Through the Country.

Our usual midsummer outing among
the farmers, in pursuit of cash, and
knowledge about farming and other
affairs is on, and that red nose we Ed
itor has is sunburnt and nothing else.
The small grain looks unusually we'll
line color and good growth. Corn APP
pears rather backward owing to. the
cool nights but the color is good, and
the stand is uniformly good. Hay is
generally lighter than is usual this
time of year, but the recent rains will
help itmaterially. Pastures generally
are fresh and the COWS are giving a
good flow of milk. Among the test
farmers the cora is free from weeds
and has a good growth, and with the
constant care they are giving it, it
will not fail to ripen in good time.
July and August are the months for
corn.

Emma Marshall's just in the edge of
Howard Center, thence north along

Caward farm, on which he had built a
a house, barn and other outbuildings
last fall. This farm is being titled by
III. e. Windmiller and he has the
crops free from weeds. John G. Wolf
ing somehow always has the faculty
of getting big growth on his corn,
and this year is no exception. John
Meyers and the Kaplers proverbial as
first class farmers, are marching that
way still. Their crops show evidence
of good farming.
Fred Paul has the foundation in for
a barn 36X50 with 20 feet posts. The
material for it will be on the ground
this week.
A trip through the town of Paris

Western Michigan Does Honor to

Held-City Gayly Decorated.

Grand Rapids, Mich, June 10. =
Western Michigan did honor to Adj

eNcursionists coming from all direc-

morning the admiral took drive
about the city, accompanied by Con-
gresham William Alden Smith. Mrs.
Dewey was unable to accompany him
on account of illness caused by a
cold contracted in Columbus. On
this account the public reception in
the afternoon, planned in her honor
by women of the city, was cancelled.
The parade in Dewey's honor in the
afternoon was one of the largest ever
seen in Grand Rapids. 1t was COM
bined with the parade of the great
camp of the Maccabees, which is in
session here. More than 1000 Mac
cabees were in line, together with mil

near the head of the parade, and aft

he was lying unconscious and was at

A VEXED QUESTION.
Republican Leaders Confer on Can
didate for Second Place.
CORNELIUS N. BLISS in MUCH FAVOR.
Roosevelt Again Declares He Wohld
Not Accept Nomination-Wiscoh
sin Democrats Hold Their
State Convention.

Washington, June 13.-The presi-
dent had quite a number of prominent
callers Tuesday before the cabinet
meeting. They included Senator
Hanna, chairman of the republican
national committee; Senator Allison,
of Iowa; Senator Fairbanks, of In
diana; Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Thomas X. Lowery, of Min
nesota, one of the delegates at large
from his state to the Philadelphia
convention.
Difficult Problem.
Although the gossips around the
white house in connection with the
presidents callers centered particu-
larly about the vice presidential NOM
tnation, the senators who conferred
with Mr.. Mckinley were reticent, con-
curing only in the statement that the
> situation had not yet crystallized.
No one can say with positiveness who
the nominee for vice president will be-"
said one of the senator's after he had left
the white house. Things are shaping up
some, but the problem is a difficult one
to solve I think the republican leaders
as rule are of the opinion that the nom
tnation should go east so as to secure
a geographically balanced ticket Secre-
tary Long would make an admirable can
didate. but his state is safely republican
and his nomination would avail little
from strategical standpoint. Most re-
publicans, I think, would prefer to see
the nominee chosen from New York, but
there are difficulties in the way. Gov.
Roosevelt's attitude prevents natural
selection. If Cornelius N. Bliss would
accept the nomination I think the prob
lem would be solved. He is being urged
to permit his name to go before the con-
vention, but he has thus far declined, and
y am afraid he cannot be induced to
ar HIS position. He retired to private
rom choice for domestic reasons and
..ig, fear, will induce him to reenter
ties
Has Not Changed His Mind.

welt again Tuesday repeated his for
mer statement relative to accepting

he has absolutely declined. 81 have

some interesting Gossip About the
Coming Republican Gathering.
Philadelphia, June 13.-This city is
rapidly taking on a national conven-
ton aspect. Quite large number of
national committeeman and delegates
arrived Tuesday, and the hotels are
beginning to fll~up. The convention
hall will be formally transferred to
the national committee this after
noon, although the sergeant-at-arms
the hall until Saturday or probably
Monday morning. Invitations have
been extended by the citizens COM
mittee to Senator Hanna, the mem
hers of tire national com usttee and a
number of invited guests NH11spect
the hall. Speeches will be made by
Mayor Ashbridge and Sc, %ral others
of the visitors. ;
President McKinley's pi..ture is be-
ginning to appear on every hand, al
though the presidential nomination is
seldom mentioned by the throngs. The
vice presidential gossip, however, is
taking wide range. The names of
many prominent men throughout the
country are mentioned as possibili-
ties. So far there has been no con-
centration of forces here on any one
man, and there probably will not be
until the national committee gets to-
gether.
The old question of representation
In republican national conventions
which agitated the national commit
tee at its meeting in Washington last
December is more than likely to come
to the front at the national commit
tee meeting to-day. The resolution of
Henry c. Payne, of Wisconsin, pre-
sented at last winters meeting, and
which was withdrawn before it was
put to vote, will again be pressed,
but not by its author. The strongest
supporters of the Payne measure come
from New England Col. Charles E..
Brayton, national committeeman from
Rhode Island, who is also chairman
of the Rhode Island delegation. will
make strong effort to have the rep
resentation changed.
Henry i. Tiepke. commissioner of
industrial statistics, of Rhode Island,
who will be Col. Brayton's proxy in.
to-day's meeting, said Tuesday night
he will endeavor to carry out the
colonels wishes. Committeeman Bray
ton, he said, has been in communica-
ton with the national committeeman
OF all the states, and his replies in
clude more than 20 who favor the
Payne resolution. This resolution pro-
yides for four delegates at large for
each state and an additional delegate
for every 10000 republican votes or
majority fraction thereof, based on
the returns of the last presidential
election.
