Mrs Eva Gatharine Reidenback Died We'd
nesdaY Evening at Her Home in Paris.
Mrs. Eva Catharine Reidenbach, one
of the early settlers of the county and
widow of the late Phillip Reidenbac1x,
died Wednesday evening at her home
in the town of Paris.
The deceased was in her seventy
fourth year and had been a resident of
Kenosha county since 1852. She had
been a sufferer from rheumatism for
the past nine years and the disease
resulted in her death.
Eva Catherine Doerhinger REDEEM
back was German by birth, having
been born June 18th, 1926. When a
little girl she was brought to America
with her parents in the early forties.
She remained in New York until 1852
when she was married to her late hus-
band and removed to his far Western
home in Paris.
One child. since deceased, was born
to them. The sole survivors of the
deceased are two grand children and
brother, Jacob Dorfinger, of this city.

GENERAL NEWS.
sugar-The Philippines Bank of England
Patrick Cheap Money, Etc.

Two million tons of sugar, that was
the amount necessary to keep the
American people sweet in 1899.
More than $4,000 United States
troops in the Philippines, and new
forces are being organized; yet the in
surgents seem to have the freedom of
the islands, and the war does not cease.
Considering the S2O,0O0,0 900 cash, the
long drawn out conflict, the shed
blood, and sacrificed treasure, we are
paying big price for those remote
islands of the Pacific.
The Bank of England keeps its bank
notes fresh and attractive by burning
and reprinting 35O,O every week. AS
for ourse1f we would be thankful for
a few of them, though they carried a
crumpled and seedy appearance.
The son born to the Duke and Ouch
ess of York, last Saturday, when he
shall be christened, will be called by
the euphonious name of Patrick. But
his names will be legion like those of
one of Victoria's daughters -"Victc ia
Adelaide, Mary, Louise" The young
prince will be so numerous1y named
that Patrick will appear only as a
| pearl appears in the oysters of the In
dian OCean-numerous oysters and
only one pearl. Probably his Royal
Highness will have a name for Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, India and the
Continent.
Bryan says: ''The gold standard
means dearer money; dearer money
means cheaper property; cheaper prop
erty means harder times; harder times
means more people out of work; more
people out of work means more people
destitute; more people destitute means
more people Desperate; and, more des-
perate people means more crime" All
right, Mr.. Bryan, only your first
premise is false. The gold standard
| does not mean dearer money, but good
money. The gold standard means
| that one United States dollar shall be
worth one hundred cents everywhere
in the world. 1t is not dear money, il
is absolute money, money that cannot
be discounted. 1t is poor money, like
| the Mexican dollar, or the Argen-
tine dollar, or the wild cat paper of forty
years ago that is dear. Give poor
money and all of Bryan's conclusions
will follow, namely: depreciation of
property, hard times, thousands out of
work, restitution, desperation, crime.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty Stocked
up for the balance of this session of
Congress. With such contradictory
opinions in regard to the freedom and
the fortifcation of the canal, the prob
ability is it will be locked tip for a
long time. 1t is doubtful whether the
Central American ship canal will be
built for several years. In the mean
time, what has become of the commit
tee appointed and paid largely by the
American people to thoroughly exam
inc and report in regard to the practi-
cabi1ity of the different routes?

A REGULAR BONANZA.

Mr.. W. J. Thackston, of Green
Vile, S. c., who is in the city in
the interest of the Pickens Cotton
Mill, soon to be established, made
a statement about cotton mill in

Sin 1884," said Mr.. Thackston,
"a young man in this city was
given $4,000 by a relative The
father Of the young man was an
intimate friend of Capt. Ellison
Smyth and the entire amount was
invested in stock of the Pelzer
Manufacturing Company. 1t was
never taken cut. The accumu-

first investment. Late III Deem
Der the young owner of the stock
became Of age and he called to see
Capt. Smyth for a settlement.
The stock had risen in value from

$11 900, making a total of $2S, :

A story of a woman who mar
ried five husbands and buried four
of them within the space of eigh-
teen months, comes from CLAN
morganshire, England. The wom-
an had inherited small farm,
and wanted someone to help her
plant and till it, so she got mar
ried. But before the planting be-
gan her husband died. She mar
ried another in time to plant the
grain, but he died before he had
time TO cultivate it. A third hus-
band was sought and quickly
found, and he cultivated the grain
but died before the harvest. The
fourth husband was sought and
obtained. He harvested the crop.
but death harvested him before he
had time to enjoy the fruits Of
the field. However, the plucky
woman married again, and with
her fifth husband is now looking
forward hopefully to the rotation
of seasons.

1t was unfortunate for Laurel
county, Kentucky, that Gov. (?)
Taylor mentioned the name of
London as the place to which the

Ever since that time Laurel county

laws are openly defied and life is
not safe. All of this unpleasant
notoriety will no doubt work great
injustice to Laurel and London.

The Beers are great fighters, but
the Confederate soldiers, without
preparation, showed their fighting
qualities as superior to that of the

resources to draw upon, and the
National cemeteries and pension
roll give evidence of their heroism
and bravery. There is no parallel.

census figures, population $4,000 in
1900. 1t looks well.
The population in 1890 according to
the census was over ten thousand. Can
any sane person seriously assert that
this city has increased only fifty per
cent in the last ten years? No: every
body knows it has more than doubled.

wealth.
There are lots of things that
might have been done. There have
been two separate directory enumera-
lions within six months. There has
been a school census. ANY of these
might have been used to ascertain the
actual population of the city. and if
the chamber or commerce had taken
hold of them the figures could have
been certified to and used with some
degree of assurance. The Herald made
this suggestion many months ago. But
now the census figure stands. and there
is nothing to do.

have been made with the great bands
of burden1carrying beasts. but with
the Pei-bo out of the calculation. their
number must have been trebled. More
troops kept pouring in and fleets of
transports dumped their cargoes at Ia
ku. and figures in the calculation grew
at an alarming ratio. While the Pei
no may have simplified the general
transportatio it contributed obstruc-
lions and difficulties enough of it's
own to make teh task a tremendous
one. The carrying trade on the river
is done ordinarily by great numbering
unwieldy junks. and these were the on
ly things possible for the armies to
seize for their work. Shipbuilding has
been a calling in China since the world
was young, and the lines of the first
ark have been handed down to the
twentieth century. Beside the everage
Chinese junk Columbus flagship would
be a clipper. The Chinese have rejec-
ted the lesson of the sharp bow and
overhanging stern, and have gone on
building soap boxes.
Up the Pei-Ho.
The trip up the river is an ever
changing panorama that in many ways
recompenses for the tediousness and
hard work. 1t is through a land of
splendid fertility. Rank-grown millet
and corn grow to the tow paths. and
throw their shadows into the water
Every level inch is cultivated. and the
harvest time had just come when wal

The country is a duplicate of the fer
! tile districts of the Middle West. save
in architecture. Here there are nc
fences. farm houses and granaries. but
| instead little villages from which the
people go into the fields. Another diff
| ference is that the characteristic tenn
pie takes the place of the steepled
church. and the houses are of mud and
stone instead of wood. Thousands OF
men have fed themselves and their an
imals in these fields. but the effect Is
as yet unappreciable.
Petty Outrages BY Allies.
