Mrs Margaret Welsh, who has re-
sided for many years in Lancaster,
was buried on March 20th, 1900.
She was quite advanced in years
and the general belief is that she was
So years of age, but some better ac-
quainted say she was only 50. She
and her husband came here enjoying
the sunny smile of prosperity, but by
bad investments and owing 70 the
dishonesty of many to whom he loan
ed money, he was less prosperous at the
time of his death than when he first
moved to Wisconsin.
While not reduced to penury in her
last years, yet her relatives provided
her with means of subsistence for
some years; this with a small in come
from the rental of a small building
gave her all that was necessary to
meet contingent expenses Sick but
four days she sank rapidly from pneu-
monia and the funeral services were
conducted in the Congregational
church the Rev. 4, j. Brown preach
ing the sermon.
Her niece, Miss Thompson from st.
Paul was the only living relative at
the funeral but many who had felt a
kindly interest in the old lady follow
ed her remains to their interment.

Gernlany's Views.

Berlin, Aug. 27.-Official circles here
emphasize the statement that Germany,
after the taking of Pekin anu Field Mar
shall Count Won Waldersees appointment
to the command of the allied forces in
China, stands i'll precisely the same atti-
tude as before. Germany, it is added stlll
insists in carrying out the program which
the minister OF foreign affairs, Count Won
Buelow, published III his circular of July
and which was approved here and abroad.
IL is also officially stated that the other
powers interested still adhere TO that pro-
gram, OF which there now remain TWO
nost important paragraphs, w.: AIDE
quate redress Tor -4lnese crimes against
International rights and the reesta dish
meme OF an orderly state OF affairs and Tie
installation OF a government willing and
able to give guarantees against the recur-
renee OF the recent outrages. Many pa
pers, however, continue to express dIstrust
OF the intentions of several OF the powers,
claiming they have separate plans regard
ing the 1angtse valley and the southern
provinces. 30 far as Russia is concerned,
the German press is not exercised, because
il has been officially admitted by Ger
many that Germany does not oppose any
Russian plans affecting the northern pro-
vinces, as not touching Germanys polit-
zeal or commercial interests. The belief
is generally held here by both the govern
nlent and he press that Count Won Wal
dersee will find plenty to do after his ar
rival in China, even if his coming is re-
stricted to the province of Pe-chi-li.

Kitchener was made commander-in-
chief of the forces in Egypt. He led a
successful expedition up the Nile
against the Khalifa, safely conducting
his troops up cataracts and through
marauding tribes and burning deserts
until Omdurman was reached. Here
was fought terrific battle between
the Anglo Egyptian troops and the
dervishes, the latter being cut down
like grass before the scythe. In one
charge the dervishes lost 1000 men
and when the battle was over 10000 of
their dead and dying strew the ground.
The Khalifa and his chiefs were fugi-
tives and have recently been killed.
Kitchener, on returning home after
this brilliant expedition, became the
popular idol. He is the youngest ma,
jor general in the British army.
