DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Edward Larrabee Dropped Dead at His
Home in Pleasant Prairie Monday

Home In Pleasant Prairie MONDAY.
Edward Larrabee, one OF the best
known residents of the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, died very suddenly on
Monday evening at his home west Of
the city. Mr.. Larrabee had been sick
for over year, but his death was very
unexpected and came as a great shock
to his wife and friends. Early Monday
evening Mr.. Lara bee had been about
the house and had started to go from
the living room to the kitchen, when
he fell to the floor. His wife hurried
to his assistance, but ere she arrived
death had come and the husband was
lifeless. He was carried to his room
and a doctor summoned. It is sup
posed that his death was resultant
from Bright's disease complicated with
diseases of the heart.
The deceased was 48 years of age.
He was a son of E1eazer Larrabee and
was born at the old Larrabee home
stead in Pleasant Prairie, where his
sudden death occurred Monday even
ing. For many years Mr.. Larabee re-
sided in Kenosha and was employed at
the Simmons factory. About ten
years ago he moved from Kenosha to
the farm in Pleasant Prairie, where he
has since made his home. He is sur
vived by widow, who has the deepest
sympathy of a large number of friends
in this her great bereavement.
The funeral was held from the
late residence of the deceased on
Wednesday morning at 1890 O'Clock.

however, that it was the result of ex-
tended exchanges between the French
and Russian governments relative to the
six proposals In the French note. 1t ex-
pressed approval OF the various proposals

iative to giving The Hague tribunal jur-
isdiction over indemnfties should
there be divergence Of views
Not being a formal proposition,
but merely an Incident to the approval
Of the French neste, 1t has not called for
formal reply of acceptance, but the
Russian authorities have been furnished
with copy Of the American reply to the
French note, wherein our approval is
given to the Russian suggestion, SO that
it is none the less effective in giving
American adherence to the plan. It is
understood also that as Austria and Italy,
and probably Japan, look with favor upon
The Hague suggestion, the movement
promises to give the first practical reau-
cation to the cars movement in bring
ing about the international congress of
The Hague. The court Of arbitration has
reached the approval Of the various gov
ernments represented at The Hague and
its formal organization Is In progress. The
Importance the United States attaches
to it is indicated by the choice OF ex-

subject Of entering the Sacred city was
first preached. Gen. Chaffee and one or
two of the generals were against the

Chinese would always declare that Pekin
proper had never been taken unless the
Sacred city was entered by foreign
troops, also that it would be consid-

Gen. Chaffee based his objections on
the ground that the place was practical
" the palace and practically the private
grounds Of the emperor and the royal
family, and no public good could be
g;fined by overrunning.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-No WORDS can ex-
press too strongly the irritation Of the
British foreign Office over the latest do
velopments In the Chinese negotiations
and It's hopeleSsness Of any working ar
rangement being arrived at within the near
future, exceeds, if anything, It's irritation,
the chief cause Of which, to quote a high
official, is the unnecessary and unreal
sonable publicity given diplomatic CONF
municaEions even before they are off,
cially communicated to the powers.
America, according to the view taken
by this official, whose opinion may fair
ly be presumed to echo Lord Salisbury's,
Is among the offenders in this report.
How" says the informant OF the
Associated Press, "can we be expected
to arrive at the conclusion when the
Chinese are given the opportunity Of
knowing every step in the negotiations,
which in themselves, are as Intricate as
the world has seen. The advantage,
given the Chinese cannot be oyeres timat
ed. It has constantly given them the
opportunity of creating differences be-
tween the powers and interpolating ex-
cuseS and suggestions, which, II continu-
ed, bid fair to render Europe and Amer
lea the laughing stock of the Oriental
world. And this deiuge Of notes: What

note so far made. can be fifty described
as an endless chain of reservation, which
requires much, If not more, discussion
than the notes themselves. Lord Sails
bury has endeavored to answer them as
they came up, but more, believe, for the
sake Of keeping In line, than any convic-

fore the coroner's jury. Several witness

sisters room on the morning of the muir
der, and Police Sergeant Shier testified
to- the finding of certain bloody aprons
in Scharn's apartments.

that no positive evidence had been SUB
mitted connecting any one with the
commission Of the murder Young
