The Audubon circuit of the Metho-
dist church, of which Ross is an APP
pointment, was left unsupplied and
as consequence everyone is wonder
ing who the minister is to be. We
trust however they will get some
man Of ability to take the circuit.
Many in Ross watched the proceed
ings OF the young cyclones last Mon
day evening though few thought to
go to caves. None near Ross suffered
severely from it. Tuesday some
could be seen putting stacks in re-
pair and Strengthening up corn
shocks.
AT the meeting of the directors of
Cameron township last week the fol-
lowing officers were elected: L. G..
kopp, president; j. j. Courtney,
secratary; S. NJ. Luse, treasurer.
This throws the officers all together
and will be a convenience for the
teachers in getting their orders.
John Rutherford disposed of all
his farm property Tuesday, every
thing going at a good figure. This
closes out everything that could take
his interests from the store and in the
future he will be found steadily be-
hind the counter attending to the
wants and desires of his patrons.
A large crowd assembled last Sat
urday at the dedication of the Ger
man church. Prof. S. N. Unbach,
from the Northwestern college was
present and gave able addresses.
Three hundred dollars was raised
which left the church free of all in
cumbrance and starts the society on a
good financial footing.

drove it is a big loss.

Death of w. j. Kennedy.

w. j. Kennedy died at his home on
north Tracy street, September 2lst, of
apopleXy. and was buried Saturday in
the Catholic cemetery, the funeral SER
vices being conducted at the Catholic
church by Rev. Father LOTUS. He was
stricken Wednesday morning while
attending to his stock at the fair
grounds. The deceased was born in
Morris, Grundy county, Illinois, April
LIST, lS42. He lived IN his native state
until 1880 when he came to Audubon
county and purchased a farm in Mel
vile township, where he resided until
the spring of 1892 when he moved to
town where he has since lived.
He was married in 1860 to Mary
Crosson who still survives him. He
was the father of Thomas H., Eta
NJ, Ida M. and Nellie F., the second
one preceding her father to the better
land, dying when she was seven years
of age.
Thus has man in the pride of life
been called from earth and those he
loved, to the summons of dark mys-
ferrous death. A husband has left
loving heart to grieve, snatching So
lace only from the remembrance of
the deeds of love and kindness show
cred through their years OF welded
life.
The tears of children, loved and
cherished by him, are dried and wiped
away only by the thoughts of sacri-
flee that loving indulgent father en-
dured for their pleasure. He snatched
from the fangs of hydra headed want,
the sweat wreathed brow of necessity,
nailed it to the guide board of frugali-
ty and industry, and reaped as the
fruition the crown of a life well lived
and loved ones well provided for.
AS citizen he has lived true and
consistent life working for those
things that he believed to be right,
and for those principles he thought
We're for the betterment of humanity,
and fellow man.
The many friends of the family
unite in sympathy with them in their
atfiiction and bereavement.

The Sixth week of the Strike.

At the opening of the sixth week of the
anthracite coal strike the chances for its
being called of appear 20 be diminishing
rather than otherwise. A stubborn and
uncompromising spirit seems to be grow

their allies. the outside operators, and the
public perhaps has reason to fear the re-
suit. In spite of the unravorabIe outlook
it is still true that great exertions are
being made to bring about settlement
The Republican National Committee is

Additional force is given to this con-

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Major General wood Finds the Con
Jttions Encouraging.

Major General Wood. Governor General
of Cuba. who arrived IN the city yester-
day from New York. called on the Presi-
dent and on Secretary Root this morn
ing. He was accompanied ty Lieut..
NJ c. Butler. jr. son of Senator Butler
of North Carolina. and an officer of the
Seventh United States Cavalry; Luther T.
Hovey, acting assistant surgeon. and
Senior Casanova. editor of two Havana
newspapers
General Wood is here making arrange
ments to take his family to Havana and
will remain but a few days, as he desires
to attend the opening of the Cuban consti-
tutional convention.
In speaking of conditions il Cuba Cen
eraI Wood said at the War Department
that there was a brilliant future for the
island. Everything is again f1ourishing, -
sad he, and agricultural, commercial,
az financial rehabilitation are far ad-
vanced. There are 10000 children at
tending school today when in the most
flourishing stages Of the Spanish regime
lot more than 5.000 ever went to school.
q think that the coming constitutional
convention will decide when and how the
United States shall reIinQuish the contro!
of the island. The Cubans themselves
will decide this and / will allow no Amer
lean interference in the convention.
The entire island is prosperous, the su-
gar crop will reach 500, 600 tons and to-
gether with the tobacco and other impor-
tant products can be valued at about S1e0,-
coo, eco. There is nothing new in the vel
low fever epidemic. 1t is not as large as
last year, but the difference is that the
number of eases were kept secret last De-
cember while now the figures are open to
the public. Havana's yellow fever record
last December and January was the laTg-
est in ten years. but it was concealed. The
immigration of non immunes into Havana
is largely responsible for the present yell
low fever outbreak, but considering that
there are S00. 900 people in Havana and only
about 100 sick daily in the hospitals the
sick rate is not SO very larsa-"
Referring to the projects for improving
Havana General Wood said that the paw
ing contract would be given to the lowest
bidder.
I'VE are going to protect Havana
against any fake concern though, he ex-
planned Whoever takes the contract
will have to deposit in cash as a guaran-
tee of ability to perform the work per
cent OF the total contract price The de-
post should amount to 100000 and l
shall not approve any contract unless this
is deposited.
II wish you would say he concluded,
"that Cuba is just the place for young
men with small capital Cattle raising,
sugar and tobacco plantations are paying
investments and outside of the cities the
country is free from yellow fever
