rotary decided this valuable property
to Mrs. McCallum. The secretary was
a large holoer of real estate in this
city, having invested extensively in
that line from time to time during his
residence here. Conservative esti-
mates of his wealth place it at a
round million dollars, most of which
is believed to consist of Washington
real estate. Other investments on
sist of securities, and it is stated thar
the old family home at Mansfield, O.,
remained in his possession.
The funeral Arrangements.
The funeral will be held at the
Sherman residence early Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. Alexander Mackay-
Smith, rector of st. Johns church, Of
floating. The hour has not yet been
determined, as the railway arrange
ments for transporting the body to
Mansfield, o., depend on a message
from President Cassatt of the Penn
~sylvania. Services will be held in
Mansfield on Thursday, which Presi-
dent Mckinley will attend.
Hnd Been Failing FOf n Year.
MI. Sherman had not been in robust
1:calth for considerably over a year.
In March, 1899, while on a pleasure
trip to the French and Spanish West
Indies, in company with a relative,
MI. Frank Wiborg, he suffered a Sc
we're attack of pneumonia, which al
most proved fatal. The ship on which
they were travelling touched at San
tiago, from which place reports came
to the United States that the we'll
known statesman had succumbed to
the disease. He rallied, however, and
the family accepted the offer of the
United States government to bring
him back to the United States on the
cruiser Chicago, then in the vicinity
of Santiago, and he was safely landed
at Fort Monroe and brought to his
home in this city. Here he gained
strength, and was strong enough by
summer time to visit his home in
Ohio.
His Remarkable Vitality.
His remarkable vitality brought
him through n relapse which he suf-
fered during the heated term, and by
autumn he had again regained much
of his strength, and seemed to be in
good spirits. He spent last winter at
his home in this city, enjoying fairly
good health, occasionally going out
TO social affairs and attending the
theater with the members of his fam
lily. The family left here early in the
summer for the old homestead at
Mansfield, o. .-
When Mrs. Sherman Died.
They were there but a short time
when Mrs. Sherman, whose health
had been very frail, died. This was a
severe blow to the secretary, from
which he never fully recovered. He re-
manned at Mansfield until the middle
of September, when he returned to
Washington. He was very much brok-
en- in health and spirits, but for a
time he was able to move about in the
open air and to take short ridea
around the city. For the past three
weeks or more, however, he had been
confined to his bed, his general de-
biiity being aggravated by an ~irritat-
ing bronchial cough that fastened
the end.

Mr.. ~HARRIsON's TRIBUTE.
An Active Participant in h COun-

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 23.-EN-Pres-
ident Harrison, speaking of John
Sherman, said:
"The death of John Sherman re.
moves one of the few remaining par
Elephants in the heated and important
legislative contests that led up to the
civil war. His public life brought him
into an active relation to the most ex-
citing, difficult and momentous ques.
lions the president and congress have
ever been called to deal with since the
Union was formed. In all of these, as
a member of the house of representa-
tives, as a senator, and as a cabinet
officer, he bore q wise, courageous and
prominent part. He was one OF our
most able and useful public men, and
will be widely and sincerely mourned.
1 have felt that it was a great pity
that Mr.. Sherman could not have
closed his career as a member of the
senate"

LECTURE ON RUSSIAN LITERATURE.

Tuesday evening the second lecture
of Viroqua high school course was given.
1t was preceded by the usual fifteen
minute musicale, this time the numbers
being furnished by the members of Miss
frowbridges music class. The music
was excellent and added greatly to the
pleasure of the evening as every one is
interested in school children and their
work. Those who took part were Misses
Edith Ogden, Iona Slack, Effie Ady
Helen Munson, Genivieve Harris, Bar
bara Munson, Alma Wilkins and Hazel
Belt
The speaker briefly outlined the Rus
sian literature of each of the distinct
historical periods of Russia, and then
characterized the typical writers of
prose, verse, history, drama, philosophy
and romance A liberal portion Of the
hour was given to the discussion OF
Count Leo Tolstoi, his life writings and
socialistic ideas. One could not listen
to the vivid descriptions given By Nine.
Friedland, of the sufferings and perse.
cutions of the author without gaining
a lasting impression Of the Russian
character.
The course Is proving a popular one
and the pupils hope 20 realize quite a
sum upon their first venture of the kind.
The next lecture of the course will be
given next Tuesday evening. upon Rus.
sian music. The preliminary msicale
will begin promptly at 8 o'clock.

With due propriety exercised, the ap-
pointment should be made at the earliest
possible date
An appointment now made can mol

would have expired. At that Lane

Officers of Sank County are looking
for two swindlers who were operating
in the vicinity of Logansville. First
man appeared and desired farmer to
become an agent for gold watches of a
cheap make, sold him three and took
an order for half dozen more. Before
leaving the stranger left letter ON the
window and then repeated the perform
ance at number Of other places. always
leaving sealed letter behind him as II
he had forgotten 1t. The next day
another stranger appeared and asked for
the letter When he found that they
had oeen opened he demanded damages
and offered to settle for what he con-
sidered reasonable sum. In one case
the stranger received $50 in cash and a
note for 500 He made the Sank county
citizen believe that to open letter was

forced his claim. Not long after 1t was

That we may add to learDing's store.

How few Of Us there really are
