Obituary.
MRS. w. S. JONES.

Returning from call upon her daugh-
ter Tuesday, May q, Mrs. w. S. Jones
was taken suddenly i'll and shortly after
| reaching her home she peacefully enter
| ed her final rest. In the enjoyment of
| her usual health and expectant of con-
tinued enjoyment of life and love, the
summons came to that better land for
which years of Christian living had we'll
prepared her.
Elizabeth Ann Richardson was born in
New York City, March %, 1886. She
was married to Mr.. w. S. Jones May %,
1855, coming direct to Wisconsin to
found the new home. In 1860 the fam
lily went to New York city where they re-
NAMED for residence of six years when
they returned to Wisconsin and settled
at MELVILLE. Fifteen years ago they
moved to Edgerton, which has since
been their home.
Mrs. Jones was the mother of six
children, of whom three sons have pass
ed on to welcome her to the heavenly
home. There remain of the family to
mourn her DEPARTURE her husband, two
sons, A. B. Jones, of Milton junction
and W. S. Jones of GAINESVILLE, a daugh-
ter, Mrs. F. L. Burdick, of Edgerton and
A. Stewart of GAINESVILLE.
The funeral services were held at the
Congregational church Friday afternoon
and in the absence of the Pastor, Rev.
E. L. Moore, the services were conduct
ed by her former Pastor, Rev. l.. III.
Keller, of Milwaukee. Her brothers,
Thomas and William Richardson. of
Iowa, and Joseph Richardson, of New
Vile, her sister, Mrs. Dickinson, of Be-
were in attendance.
Mrs. Jones was an estimable woman
and highly esteemed by all who knew
her. She was charter member of the
Congregational church and always
warmly devoted to it's interests. She was
also a member of the Eastern Star and
held the office of Chaplain. A devoted
wife, good mother an earnest Christ
ian, loyal friend-her life is one to be
remembered by her friends with graft
tude and joy. Hers was an amiable dis
position and she was uniformly charita-
BILE and kind. Her life was swayed by
the highest motives and guided by true
principles. Unselfsh, living for others,
those who knew her best loved her most
Mrs Jones was good woman. Through
such as she and through homes such as
that her love founded our civilization is
established and the Kingdom of God
advanced. She was worthy of earth and
she is worthy of heaven. In their great
loss her husband and his family have
warm and wide-felt sympathy.

Eastern synod at Mcfarland.

AS a result of the biennial conference
of the eastern synod of the Norwegian
church, which has been held the past
week at the village of Mcfarland, may
have three more Lutheran academies
The conference appointed committees
with power to take final action to buy
the Galesville academy from the Pres
byterians and to establish new acade-
mics at Deerfeld and Wittenberg. 1t is
estimated that it will cost $4,000 each
to establish the two new academies, but
it is not known what the Galesville
school will cost. The Norwegians resid-
ing in the village of Deerfield will be
asked to contribute the cost of the in
stitution to be esta blished there and
the Germans are expected to contribute
most of the cost of the school at Witten-
berg. The meeting for Incorporating
the Deerfield school will be held in that
village June II.
The territory embraced in the eastern
synod of the Norwegian Lutheran church
includes all that between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic coast. The church
however, is strongest in this state where
the Scandinavian element is so large
The convention was attended by fifty
ministers and almost an equal number
of laymen. The most important subject
considered was the discipline of children
the general opinion being that the young
people should be taught greater obedi-
ence to and respect for parents, church
and government.
The general synod of all the districts
of the church will be held next summer
probably at DEBORAH, Iowa. Mr.. An
drew Jensen, of this city, was elected as
a member of the church council.

THOSE of our readers who heard Con
gresham Cooper in his campaign
speeches last fall stoutly assert that he
would never vote to maintain a colonial
government for any of the new posses
sions, will begin to wonder now what
his position will be on this question after
the Supreme court decision just an
nounced, which indicates that the gov
eminent has already entered on a colo
NAL policy without violation of the con
stitution. Will Mr.. Cooper stand by the
government or his anti-election declara
ton?

To Old Soldiers.

All soldiers who wish their pension
claims to receive prompt and faithful
attention should place their claims at
once in the hands Of Joseph H. Hunter
pension attorney, Washington, D. c., as
[ known from experience he is the proper
party to handle such cases.

A RUMOR to the effect that visitors to
the Pan-American Exposition are called
upon to pay an admittance fee to each OF
the exhibit buildings after paying to pass
through the gates, appears to have
gained some circulation in certain
quarters. 1t is entirely unfounded. The
fact is that the visitor after paying the
gate fee has the privilege of going
through all Of the dozens of exhibit
buildings absolutely free of expense.
The prices of admission are: For adults
SOC; for persons under fourteen years of
age, 25c The exposition proper does
not include the Midway, which is a col
lection of amusement enterprises con-
Quoted by private companies. To these
attractions small admittance fees, rang
ING from 10c to 25c are charged.

DR.. DAVID It. DAY, of the United
States Geological Survey, gives in the
Review of Reviews for June a we'll in
formed and judicial estimate of the new
petroleum discoveries in Texas, Califor-
MIA, and elsewhere. DR.. Day writes
hopefully of the value of the Texas
product, and points out the Importance
of the oil finds in California as source
of fuel supply for the Pacific Coast.

The Governor of Wisconsin has given
approval to an act recently passed by
the legislature of that state levying an
export duty of ten cents per ton on all
the ice shipped out of the state. OF
course the purpose is to raise revenue
but it may result in an interference with
a very profitable business now carried
on by the citizens of that commonwealth.
If Wisconsin was the only region from
which the numerous big cities on the
Great Lakes could be supplied with the
ice they require all might be we'll, but
half dozen states, to say nothing of
Canada, are in the ice-making business,
and can sell their product in any con-
ceivable quantity, unfettered by an ex-
port duty. Wisconsin may put few
hundred dollars into her treasury by this
law, but her citizens are likely to loose
much of the ice trade they now have
with consumers beyond their own Dor
ders. Besides, can a state levy an eX-
port duty any more than it can tax i'm
ports? Lancaster (Pa.) New Era.

IT'S wonderful device that the Mil
waukee road is experimenting with for
the purpose of assisting engineers in
carrying out train orders. 1t is suspend
ed in the cab of the locomotive and
makes it impossible for him to forget
his orders; in fact, it carries them out
for him. If, for instance, he should get
orders to stop at a station to meet a
train or for any purpose, say 81 miles
down the line, he would set the device at
81 miles, and when that point is reached
the automatic machine blows the whis-
tie and when at 80 miles it stops the en-
CINE without the aid of the engineer.
Besides this, the little machine, working
as a cyclometer, tells an engineer just
how far he has run and no matter how
dark or foggy the night he can fix at a
glance the exact location of his train.

D. X. TENNEY of Madison, calls atten-
ton that the legislature, at it's session
just closed, enacted some radical laws in
regard to the assessment of property for
taxation. It has been the law in Wis
consin for years that all property except
that exempt, should be assessed at it's
actual fair value. But, as everybody
knows, that law has never been COM
piled with. Long acquiescence in it's
violation shows that it was never in
tended to be. Now comes the legisla-
ture and provides, by most stringent
enactment, that all property shall be
assessed as its actual value. Rigid and
relentless provisions are embodied to Sc
cure an honest assessment on this basis.
The failure Of any assessor or board of
review to execute the law is made pen
al offence, involving also, removal from
office. The state tax commission is given
strong supervisory control over the
whole matter and may call the district
attorney of the several counties to their
aid, when necessary, to enforce the law.
Property owners, whether individual or
corporate, must fully disclose their prop
erty, produce their books and afford any
evidence possible to determine the true
value of their property. The circuit
courts are given ancillary jurisdiction
also to enforce such legitimate inquiry.

By almost even division of opinion
the United States Supreme Court de-
cides that the Constitution does not fol-
low the flag into the nations new insu-
lar possessions thus upholding the policy
of the administration. The United States
may enter upon a colonial policy-has
already entered upon without viola
ton of the Constitution. Porto Rico is
not part of the United States, but "a
territory appurtenant and belonging to
United States" Tariffs established by
congress upon goods coming from or 60
ing to Porto Rico are valid and collecti-
BILE. Congress has full power over the
territories may regulate and dispose of
them, may at it's discretion extend the
Constitution to Them may admit them
as states, or may hold them indefinitely
as territories, colonies or dependencies.
The effect Of the decisions, while affirm
ing the Foraker act is to make the Phil
ippines territory of the United States
and to give free trade with them until
congress exercises the powers the court
says it possesses to impose custom duties
on importations from the islands. Such
in brief are some of the points brought
out in one of the most important decis-
ions the court has ever enunciated.
