DEATH OF MRS. SHERMAN.
Wife of the Former Secretary of State
Passes Away.

Mansfield, O., June 5.-Mrs. Sherman.
wife of former Secretary of State John
Sherman, died shortly after midnight
this morning, aged 70 years.
Without having regain consciousness
from the third stroke Of paralysis
which she sustained on Sunday after
noon, Mrs. John Sherman was barely
alive at a late hour last night, with
her venerable husband at her bedside,
himself in %precarious health, and it is
feared that he will not long survive
his wife.
The Sherman family returned from
Washington May rs to spend the sum
mer here, in the hope that the change
of climate and the restful of
their lives might be of benefit to both.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman were sit
ting on the piazza Of their home Sun
day afternoon, chatting with visitors,
Mrs. Sherman sustained the shock
which caused her death.
Mrs. Sherman was Cecilia Stewart,
only daughter of the late Judge James
Stewart, one of the early day lawyers
of this country, and was born in Mans
field in 1929, her mother dying the fol-
lowing year. Her girlhood days were
spent here.
In 1916, on August 80, she was mar
ried to John Sherman, then a rising
young lawyer of this city. No chill
dren were born to them, but they
adopted several daughters, n Of
whom, Mrs. Mary Sherman McCallum
of Washington, was at her bedside.
General and Mrs. N. A. Miles had been
telegraphed for. She will, according
to her own wishes, be buried here.

ENGINES GO TO SCRAP PILE.
Old Locomotives on Union Pacific That
Worked Thirty Odd Years.

Six historic old engines along the
Union Pacific, the kind that were rec
ord breakers thirty years ago, are now
being broken up and consigned to the
scrap pile at the Union Pacific shops
They are Nos. 562, which has been in
the service thirty-three years.; 504,
which began work thirty-two years
ago, and 500, which began at the same
time; 1876, which began a year later,
and AT and S21, which were bought
within the next few years. After serv-
ing full time on the main line, the old
engines performed a decade of service
on the branches. Their long service
record is considered as remarkable, for
ON eastern roads, such as the Pennsyl-
vania, the life Of a locomotive is esti,
mated at sixteen years.
Since sixty new engines will begin
to arrive this month, and the price OF
scrap iron is high, the old fellows are
beng turned to the account where they
VII be most valuable.
One of the odd jobs being turned out
at the shops now is q narrow gauge
locomotive for Fitzpatrick Bros. q Col
Inns for use on their Siberian hill and
cutoff work on the Union Pacific in
Wyoming. That firm keeps constantly

MUST WALK TO NORTH POLE.

"Soh ~
For years we have struggled to reach
the north pole by ship. Through hard
ship and danger brave explorers have
endeavored to reach the coveted spot.
The fact that the Pole is still a mys-
terry points to the conclusion that our
method was wrong, and lends credence
to the recent utterance OF a learned
scientist, that We must abandon ship,
copy the Esquimo's customs and walk
to the pole. The same commonsense
reasons should be applied to health.
There is only one road to recovery for
sufferers from stomach disorders, and
that is through Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. If you have tried to cure in
digestion, constipation, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney trouble without it, you have
simply been on the wrong track. The
Bitters will cure you.

terse telegram was taken universally
to mean the practical finish of the wal
which has tried Great Britain's mill,
tary resources as they were never tried
before. In London the mansion house
and the war office almost instantane-
ously became the centers for jubilant
thrOngs. Flags again appeared as il
by magic, and traffic had to be divert
cd through other streets. Hatless and
cOatless men and boys ran through the
city alleys to see for themselves the bull
letins announcing the good news and
or add their voices to the joyful
throngs singing God Save the Queen
Hats hoisted from thousands of heads
were waved in eXultant hands and
shimmered like a coal bed in the sun.
Old men on, top of the omnibuses and
aldermen from the windows Of the man
sion house encouraged crowds to still
further effort. The premature report
of the fall of the Beers stronghold did
not seem to have taken the edge off
today's celebration. Lord Roberts Six

Those who had had a chance to read
Lord Roberts account Of the resistance
encountered yesterday were at that mo-
ment commenting on the probability of
a fierce fight before the city was occu-
pied and were wondering at the Beers
capabilities to make such a determined
stand when Pretoria was hemmed in
en- all sides. The pressure of General
French north of the Boer capital came
as a surprise and explained the COM

delayed attacking until all his col

sibility of some fighting. so when the
next moment the dispatch was given
out it came as a %surprise. ing
from Lord Roberts phraseology, the
occupation of Pretoria was not accom
panied by any loss of life. What has
happened to the Boer forces which
so insistently opposed the British ad-

surmised. But presumably they have
got away for the present at any rate.
