THE VENEZUELAN WAR CLOUD.

1t begins to look as if the fight be-
tween two American companies over
the asphalt deposits in Venezuela, about
which so much was heard just at the
close of the presidential campaign, will
be productive of serious trouble be-
tween this country and Venezuela. One
of these companies is known as the
New York and Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany and the other as the Felicidad
company, the latter company being COM
posed of citizens of Syracuse, N. Y.
The New York and Bermudez Com
pany has its titles straight from the au-
thorities having the power to grant
them, and has been IN possession of the
asphalt properties for about fifteen
years. It has punctually paid the
royalty to the government.
It is asserted that revolution
against President Castro is threatened,
and he is greatly in need of money
with which to defend his government.
As matter of fact, he put himself at
the head of the government by means
of a revolution. 1t is believed that the
Felicidad Company has undertaken to
furnish him with what money he wants
for military purposes, on condition that
he Will turn the asphalt mines over to
it. Of course it has some sort of a title.
The title consists in the claim that the
New York and Bermudez Company, IN
marking out the boundaries of its con
cession fifteen or more years ago, ran
It's lines crooked, so as to include the
asphalt.
President Castro, it is understood,
holds that if the lines had been run
straight, as they should have been, the
asphalt deposit would be outside of the
concession. OF course the New York
and Bermudez Company deny that
there is any foundation for this claim,
and the matter is now in the courts.
President Castro, however, does not
seem disposed to wait for the decision
of the courts He has decided the issue
in accordance with his own views, and
he proposes to dIspossess the NewYork
and Bermudez Company by force.
This company has armed its employees
and is prepared to Defend it's property.
III the meantime it has appealed to the
State Department at Washington, and
that department has notified the gov
eminent of Venezuela that the United
States Will see to it that the property of
It's citizens IN Venezuela is protected
that they do not undertake to say
which company is the owner of the de-
posts but that the courts OF Venezuela
must determine the question.
The situation is somewhat compll-
Gated by the seizure of two of the
steamers of the Orinoco Steamship
Company, a company which flies the
British flag, but which has some Amer
lean stockholders. 1t is supposed that
the steamers are wanted by President
Castro's forces in their efforts to dis
possess the New York and Bermudez
Company.
Two American war ships have been
ordered to the scene of the trouble, and
more will be sent if they should be
needed. The hope is expressed in
Washington that President Castro will
see that he has adopted wrong course
and will change his policy. If he does
not he will have war on his hands
that will be more serious than that
threatened by the dissatisfied people of
his own state Savannah News.

Elvira Bullock was born at Gran.

in 1914. Her parents early moved to
Virginia In 1856 they came to Mon
ona county, Iowa. Here, in 1868 she
was married to VIM. Goodrich and
they afterwards located in Crawford
county and have lived in the vicinity
OF Denison ever since. Mrs Goodrich
was the mother of four children, one
son who died several years ago at the
age of ten, and three daughters, Mrs.
Cole, of Arthur, Abbey and Kate. She
had one sister, Mrs. Mcdonald, now
resident in Rodney, Iowa, and one
brother who lives in chicago. She
passed the last several years in i'm
paired health, but last February a
severe sickness from pneumonia so
shattered her remaining srength as to
lead to gradual decline. While there
were alternations of weakness and i'm
provement she realized the seriousness
OF her malady and looked into the
future with the prayer and faith of a
christian The end came with unfore.
seen suddenness in the night of Oct. 3
While her daughter was keeping vigil
and performing tender ministry, few
words were briefly spoken as with fail.
ing strength and she fell asleep in the

and sustained this relation to the end
of life.

Some two weeks ago the REVIEW
made mention of the case of Conductor
Will O'Hara of the Illinois Central
Mr.. O'Hara made son-e very inconsid-
crate and untimely remarks concern
ing the shooting of President McKin-
ley. His words were published in the
REVIEW and the officials at once dis
missed him from the service. We find
that Mr.. O'Hara is the son of an old
soldier who served three years in the
Union army. He is a man of family,
having wife and five children living
in Fort Dodge. He has made good
record as railroad man and with the
exception of this offense he has been a
good and law abiding citizen. Mr..
O'Hara admits the conversation but
states that he did not mean his words
to be taken in earnest. that he did not
believe the news was true and that he
did not mean in his heart any disre.
spect to the President. We have NO
malice toward Mr.. O'Hara and are
willing to give him the benefit of every
doubt. Under the circumstances we
believe he has been sufficiently pun.
ished and shall be glad if the railroad
officials should reinstate him.
