The following is taken from the Shell
don Qowa) Sun, of Friday, june 10Th,
which was the anniversary of the birth
of prominent citizen of that town.
MIR. Jones was a citizen of Wausau in
the early days of its history, and is well
known to old inhabitants;
Our fellow citizen, Benjamin Jones,
is 81 years of age today, and has re-
sided in Sheldon for the past 20 years.
Hardly an enterprise in the city but
what he has been interested in, and no
good work that he has not promoted
Mr.. Jones never gushed, but always
stood for the right, regardless of conse-
quences. He is man of conviction,
absolutely without policy or double
dealing. With him it is, yea, yea, or
nay, nay, and that is the end of it. He
served IL years, longer than any other
man in the county, as county supervi-
sor, and then refused to serve longer,
though if he had not positively declined,
he would have still been on the board
duu SOublusCu until fAiS Lulu ShOuhu
call him to a higher seat in His king
dom. BY good business management
he has accumulated competency, yes,
we can say wealth, and retired from
active business. He educated his two
daughters and son most literally. His
son, Frank, is a successful physician in
Garretson, S. d., and his daughter, Mel
lie, has been teacher in the Sheldon
high school for is years, and as an evil
dence of her ability we have but to state
that she receives the highest salary Of
any lady teacher in northwest Iowa.
Maggie, the other daughter, a lovely
lady, is married and lives in Minnesota.
If Benjamin Jones has an enemy In this
wide world we do not know him. But
what of Mrs Jones We've had our
say of the rest of the family, suppose
we recognize her. Well do it briefly.
She is and has been always the power
behind the throne, and ali the good
things we have said Of the balance, can
be repeated with emphasis Of her.

London, May 10, 6 a. m.-An this mornings
newspapers devote large portions of their space
TO stories of the siege of Mafeking and reports
of enthusiastic celebrations throughout the
country in consequence of its relief. The War
Office has not yet made any announcement, but
Mr. Balfour in the House of Commons last
night remarked that the Government had good
reason 10 think the news telegraphed from
Pretoria true
A brother Of Colonel Baden-Powell is said
to have yesterday received in London tele
gram from a Dutch friend in Pretoria advising
him of the relief Of the garrison, but there is
nothing TO show the exact date on which the
relief column entered the town. 1t appears
however, that there sharp fighting around
Mafeking on Thursday. so probably the Beers
were defeated by the southern column before
they raised the siege.
BY many people General Kitchener is believed

but The News understands that the column
was led by Colonel Bryan Mahon. who. like so
many distinguished officers now serving in
South Africa, won distinction under Kitchener
IN the Soudan.
1t is reported that the Boers have blown up
Laings Mex Tunnel and thereby interrupted
communication by that route between Natal and
the Transvaal.

ties, he was always an active Re- publican, and was honored by his party in '92 with the nomination for Representative.
 In 1894, the writer was associ- ated with MT. Davis and his son Henry in the newspaper business at Berryville. A close business relation with him impressed us with his thorough honesty and strict business meth- ods, and gave us a peculiar ad- miration for the man that only can come from the most intimate relations.
 MT. Davis was not what would be properly termed a rich man, yet he was well -to-do. The farm on which he resided comprises 300 acres of fine land, which he has in high state of cultivation, while he owned another good farm near the Missouri line, and property in Eureka Springs and Berryville. He also owned a berry farm in Benton county and property in Mountain Home, Baxter county.
 Of the Davis family from which MT. Davis came, there were seven children besides himself. They are: Thomas Davis, Purdy, Mo-; Ewin Davis, Monett, Mo-; Will liam Davis and Jeff Davis, Den yer, Ark; Mrs. Lloyd Butler, Oak Grove, Ark; Mrs. Jane Gaddy, Green Forest, and Mrs. John Mattox, deceased, late of Grangeville, Idaho.
 Mr. and Mrs. w. w. Davis were themselves the parents of eight children. Their first born, Mon- roe, died in 1876. The remaining children and his widow survive him. The children are: Calvin, who is 8 merchant, of Eureka Springs; Charlie, Post Master of Berryville; Henry and Austin, teachers of the Carrollton Acad- emy; Mesdames Martha Chap lain and Maggie Waggoner of Berryville, and Matilda Davis of Aurora, Mo.
