Died at a Ripe Old Age.

George woodlands, pioneer settler
of Benton county, Indiana, died on
November 8, 1901 at the ripe old age
Of 80 years, 8 months and days. From
the Otterbein Qnd.) Sun of November
IA, we clip the following tribute to the
memory of the venerable dead:
George Woodlands was good man,
and an honest and upright citizen; SO
what more can We say? Everybody
who has resided in this vicinity for
any length Of time knew him. The
minister who preached the funeral has
known him for 35 years and in his pow
erful and touching sermon classed him
as an honest and just man. He was
common, unassuming, and somewhat
secretive, keeping his own counsel and
having few condolences, but to friend
he was loyal to the core. He did many
acts of kindness and charity, yet he
was transformations in this as in every
thing else. Over thirty years ago he
united with the United Brethren
church at Pond Grove and has lived
loyal, consistent christian.
Five sons and two daughters are
left to mourn the loss of kind and
loving father. Alfred and Clement,
who are single, reside at the old home;
Frederick, who is county commissioner
resides at Oxford; Mrs. ]. G. Bartin-
dale of this place, Mrs. Henry Foster
of Ambia, Henry, ex-county commits
sioner, OF Warren county, and Phillip,
ex-county county commissioner, of
Julesburg, Colorado. Besides the sons
and daughters there are twenty-seven
grandchildren living and seventeen
great grandchildren"
Mr.. P. B. Woodlands of this county
was at his fathers home during the
latter's last illness and at the time of
his death.

Marriage Ties Supdered.

Mrs. Alice Buttertield was granted a
divorce from her husband, George But
terfleld in the county court last Mon.
day afternoon. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Turner and jury composed
of the following persons: G. w. White,
Otis Johnson, D. B. Crooks.
District Attorney Pound represent
ed Mrs. Butterfield. The grounds up
on which divorce was asked were cruel
treatment and incompatability of tenn
peraments. Mr.. Buttertield was pres
ent in court but made no defense
Mrs. Butterfeld was the only witness
examined, and her testimony was deem
ed sufficient by the jury in warranting
u verdict in her favor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buttertield were mar
ried in 1894 in the state of Iowa They
came to this county about one year ago
and took homestead in the southeast
part of the county, near HaXtun.
Their married life has been stormy
one and resulted in a separation some
months ago, since which time Mrs.
Buttertleld has been employed as do
nestle in the home oi Mr.. and Mrs.
G. II. Rice.

objected to the innuendoes in the COM
Inunication before the Senate in regard
to the work of the committees. He
wanted Senator Russell to understand
hat there are sixteen standing commit
ees and only fifteen Senators, and that
work was being expedited as fast as
t was possible.
Mr.. Cecil Brown arose to point of
'rder, as there was really nothing be-
fore the house. and after a lot of
wrangling moved that Senator Russell
be given chance to say something
explanatory, referring sareastieally to
the new rule n of the Senate providing
for the 'chucking out" of Senators, and
asking Mr.. White whether the Home
Unrulies wished to try the new rule on
Russell.
Senator Paris objected to the part of
the communication from President Rus
sci which reflected on the works of the
Senate committees. He fully approved
of Mr.. Russell stepping down, but he
thought the communication undignified
and Objectionable.
Then the medical politician got on his
feet and made even Senator Baldwin
smile by saying: II am here on re dis
floor to expedite matters. Nodding
can bring me back in re shair. You
can put my letter on ze table, you can
undertake or overtable him, but here
I stand myself on ze floor"
This lucid explanation of the situa-
tion was followed by an address from
Senator Kanuha, who wanted it to be
understood that he was a free Ameri-
can, and when his speech was being in
ternreted into English the secreta ~
waltzed over the floor whispering words

autos, but these are being overcome
gradually. We are thousands of miles
away from the factory and when we
need some portion for a rig that is not
here it takes a long time toe get the
part from the manufacturers. Then
again, we have not got our power down
to a fine point and at times the bat
teries are undercharged and a driver
occasionally finds himself stranded a
long way from the power house. But
even in this respect we ere imp wing,
and so, soon, / don't bell ve t..4.r will
be anything to complain of,
1T is surprising how the ladies of
this city have taken to the autos. They
are used great deal during the day
by them for shopping. They are large
and roomy and hold lots of packages
and that's point in their favor"
1t is also understood that Manager
Grant is considering arrangements with
the Moana hotel, the Hotel Annex and
other beach resorts to establish a line
of auto-busses to run between the city
and Waikiki in competition with PAINS
tram cars. These 'busses will be
equipped with powerful batteries and
can carry as many persons as an or
binary street railway car of the Pain
description. They will parallel the King
street car line and will cut the time
down almost half.
a further Improvement may be the
introduction of a parcel delivery sys-
ter, with auto vehicles especially con-
structed with this end in view. If the
plans come to a focus, Manager Grant

rang ements to have the 'busses and
other necessary vehicles down here.

and Manager l.. T. Grant of the
- Hawaiian Automobile Company,
Limited are highly elated over
the successful introduction of the au-
tomobile service in Honolulu. Mr..
Atherton said yesterday that had the
company twenty more vehicles they
could have been put to excellent use in
supplying the demands of the public.
He says the public has Shown it's ap-
prevail of the automobiles, as the rigs

One feature of the service that has
impressed itself upon the public is the
lessening of the rates of fare below
those charged by the horse hack lines,
especially in the business district where
two persons are carried for the same
price that the hacks charged for one.
Mr.. Atherton was asked whether the
company intended to increase its num-
ber of automobiles.
''Well, Manager Grant is in hopes
that this can be done, for it can be seen
that we shall need them soon; III fact
we need them right now, but we have
held no directors meeting and cannot
do so Until Mr.. Tenney returns from the
Coast. The company, you must un-
derstand, has been to a great expense
in bringing automobiles to Honolulu,
purchasing property and putting up the
plant, and we may have to go little
slow before making too great an out
lay.
I'VE believe that the system has been
successfully launched and that the
public appreciates it. OF course there
has been some trouble in adjusting the

him later by tabling his resolution to
instruct the special committee on tax

abolishing personal taxes. He claimed

1t. He therefore said to the President that under the circumstances he woull have to tender his resignation. 'I do not want you to embarrass your administration. said the Secretary to the President q know how manifestly impossible 1t would be for you to keep two men from Iowa in your Cabinet"
 The President Is reported to have urged MT. Wilson to reconsider his determna- tion to resign, He said to him that 1t would be impossible to find another Sec retary of Agriculture whose services would be so valuable to the farming in- terests of the country as have those of Secretary Wilson, That is how the mat ter stood when the Secretary of Agri- culture left the White House to return to his own home.
 Politicians who are familiar with the methods of President Roosevelt believe that the resignation rendered by Secre- tarY Wilson last night will be held to be in force by the President just as soon as he is ready to appoint man to sue ceed the Secretary. They have no doubt that the appointment of Governor Shaw was as much of notice to Wilson to be prepared to surrender his portfolio as the tender of the same office to Gov ernor Crane was a notice to Long to get out
 Hurt by Roosevelt's Methods.
 Secretary Wilson feels outraged and hurt hy the Presidents lack of frank ress. He feels that. being Iowa's reG,a- sentative in the Cabinet. he should have been consulted regarding the Presidents purpose to appoint Governor Shaw Sec retary of the Treasury. He has found out that the President did not make many confidants regarding his intention. Not even Secretary Cortelyou knew that Shaw would be offered the Secretary ship of the Treasury until the news had reached the Washington correspondents. Secretary Wilson is also grieved because he believes himself to be the one membr of the Cabinet who was Indispensable to the fortunes of the administration.

Sentiment. already inclined to bull the report of damage to Winter wheat in the Southwest. Lack of snow protection, it was stated in. various messages, had work ked harm to the tender roots. large general demand sent May to S3 with little opposition. Over that figure commission houses sold heavily. but the market absorbed offerings with an ease which rendered a further advance to S3isG83A necessary to check the ardor of buyers. Sales from brokerage houses, accom- panied by the profit taking operations of floor traders. sent May back to 624sG82l2c during the afternoon.

 The corn market was q rather narrow af fair in the hands of local traders. The crowd was inclined to bearishness, partly because of a reported decrease in heavy feeding and partly because they were looking for the un loading of some big lines of long corn The wheat bulge caused covering during the fore noon, but there was little strength underlying it and when the major market dipped corn promptly abandoned all it's advance and closed easy, May a shade lower at 67c. The range was between 66% and 67ls Receipts were 346 cars.
 Thermarket for oats was also local and the volume of transactions small. Prices held steady in sympathy with wheat. May sold between 45ss and 457s and closed bGA up at 459s. Receipts were 297 cars.
 Provisions were fairly active and strong A light run of hogs coupled with higher prices at the yards, gave the market an up- ward start and buying for the local and out side account resulted in a sharp advance, es- peefaly in pork. On the bulge there a moderate profit taking movement, but prices weaS o1 but little The bulk of trading was in the May option.
