William Tate INDICATED.

Manchester, Iowa, Mch. 10, 1902.
EDITORS OF DEMOCRAT:
In your issue of to-day, appears an ar
ticle relating to William Tate taken
from, and credited to the Cedar Rapids
Gazette, in which there is an error
which should not be allowed to pass un-
noticed.
Mr.. Tate was, for many years, before
he located in Texss,a resident of this
city, and know whereof speak, when
say that he is and always has been an
honest, upright and law-abiding man.
The error in the Gazette article con.
sists in the statement, that after Mr..
Tate arrested his sons assassin he took
his prisoner back, and, "almost on the
spot where the killing of young Tate
had taken place, there was another
death, and old man Tate erected the
gallows and acted as executioner. He
had no one to assist him." thereby viz
tually saying, that Mr.. Tate committed
deliberate murder, whereas, the truth
of the matter is. that after making the
arrest as stated, Mr.. Tate returned with
the murderer to the county where the
crime was committed, and delivered his
prisoner to the legal authorities, by
whom he was legally indicted, tried, con-
victed, sentenced, and in compliance
with the sentence was legally hung by
the sheriff of the county in which the
doomed man was convicted.
AS an old neighbor and friend of Mr.
Tate's and as matter of justice to him
l ask that you make correction of the
article referred to, in accordance with
the facts herein stated,
Yours, etc.

B. II. Keller.

The funeral services of the late b. FL.
Keller, who deceased on the 10Th inst,
were held last Sunday afternoon. Tho
Masonic fraternity held services at the
family residence at 1:3O clock, and at
two O'Clock the remains were taken to
the Congregational church, where Rev.
II. futile delivered an eloquent and
impressive funeral sermon. at the
grave the last sad rites were performed
and the remains were laid to rest, by
his brethren OF the Masonic order
Benjamin H. Keller was native of
the state of New York, having been
born in the city of Auburn on the 2Sth
day of February 1929, and was therefore
at the time of his decesse aged 70 years
and 10 days.
In 1850, and while still resident of
his native state, he was married to Miss
Lucy A. Barre, and three years there
after they located in Cuba, N. Y. where
MIR. Keller engaged in the boot and
shoe trade
In March 1856 they came to this place
where Mr.. Keller opened boot and
shoe store, and was, we believe, the first
exclusive dealer in those lines in the
county. He continued this business
without interruption until some two or
three years ago, when he disposed of
his stock and retired from active bust
ness.
He was capable, upright and good
business man, honest in all his dealings,
and had the confidence and respect of
all. AS citizen he was public spirited
and contributed literally of his time
and means to the public welfare. He
served two terms as member of the
city council, and was for several years
an active member of the Delaware
County Agricultural Society. He took
leading part in the organization of
the Congregational church here and in
promoting its work and influence, was
q charter member of Manchester Lodge
No. 165 A. F. Il A. Nj, was its first
worshipful master, which office he held
continuously for seven terms, and was
also charter member of Olive Branch
Chapter No. 48 r. A. M. and of MAJ
srath Commandery No. 80 knights
Templar.
His wife, and an adopted son, b. e.
Keller, of Port Angles, Washington,
survive him.
The large attendance at the funeral
services and the long procession that
followed his remains to the cemetery,
testified to the high regard and esteem
10 which he was held by his neighbors
and acquaintance.

Several years before his decease,
Perry Munson, wealthy resident of
Independence appointed trustees and
made provision for the erection of q
building IN that city to be used for q
Free Public Library and an Industrial
Training School, to be known as the
Munson Industrial School Building.
The trustees designated by him erected
the building, not finishing 1t however
until after his death, and the second
story Is, and has been for several years,
used for the city's free public library.
The trustees have repeatedly offered
and urged the school board to accept of
and use the building for q manual

the acceptance of the generous offer has
been delayed SO long. This city, as well

Her Husband Thirty Years AGO Was

in Chicago.

Mrs. Emmy G. Evald, daughter Of
Rev. DR.. Erland Carlson, who is pioneer
Lutheran clergyman in America, and the
wife of Rev. DR.. Carl A Evald, pastor Of
Emmanuel Swedish Lutheran church OF
Chicago, was one of the prominent figures
in the recent congress OF woman's sutfra-
glsts at Washington and there attracted
the attention of President Roosevelt. She
and her husband are we'll known in this
part Of the country, as they have visited
here often in connection with the con-
ventions of the Augustana Swedish Lu-
theran synod and other events. DR.. Evald,
as a matter Of fact, was for some years
a resident Of Minnesota, having served
the Augustana Lutheran church of this
city as pastor. But that was thirty years
ago, and very few now in the city re-
member him.
Mrs. Evald's interest in female suffrage
grew out of her church work, and her
husband is in full sympathy with her.
Each woman as we'll as each man in the
church is expected to pay an annual fixed
fee. Upon the shoulders Of the women
also falls much Of the burden Of church
work, and yet they are not permitted to
vote In the church organization.

International Cable Match.

The cable match between the Americans
and the English for the Newnes cup ended,
after two days hard fight, last Saturday eve
ming, with a victory Of 5A to Az in favor Of
the Americans. This is the seventh cable
match between the London and Brooklyn
Chess Clubs and the fourth victory for the
Americans. Last years match was a draw
Those of 1899 and 1900 were American victo-
ries, and those of 1897 and 1893 We're English
wins; the first match, that Of 1896, going to
the Americans. Three successive victories
are required to secure permanent possession
of the Newnes cup. Accordingly, last years
draw spoiled the American record of two
straight victories and compelled them to be-
gin anew in 1902. Special efforts doubtless,
will be made to repeat this months achieve
ment in 1903 and 1904.
This years American team was the same
as that Of 1901 with the exception that Del
mar replaced ShoWalter and Helms was sub
stituted for Bampton. In the British team,

crossed the channel the night before the
match and played their games over the open
boards. The fact that they did not meet ex-
pectations in their games-Pillsbury getting
only draw and Marshall losing his game
was probably due to loss OF sleep from the
stormy passage, neither Of them getting an
hours rest. Great interest centered in the
two games at the London club over the open
boards, even United States Ambassador Choate
honoring the event with his presence.

NORMANNAHEIMEN

has ever been heard with regard to Den
marks latest colonial enterprise.
There are romantic reasons why the
world should be interested In the little
station of Ahgmagsalik and glad to hear
Of its prosperity. The Esquimaux living
there were never heard Of by the white
race until a comparatively short time ago.
Kemmed in by the glaciers which extend
into the sea north and south of the little
stretch Of coast they occupy, these ma
tives had been completely cut off from
the world perhaps for centuries. Until
Captain Holm discovered them along the
coast between 66 degrees and 68 degrees
north latitude. in his remarkable journey
Of t1SS3-S5, these people knew nothing Of
the woN@ outside their little habitat.
They Ire not known to their relatives
of westM@S eenland. In fact they were
lost part Of the human race that had
strayed away from their fellows and been
forgotten.
Holm spent ten months in Angmagsalik,
and therefore had an excellent opportun-
ity to study the Inhabitants, who differ in
many respects from all other eskimo
tribes. They numbered, when Holm saw
them, 548 people.
They were, Of course. pureblood eski-
mos, while in west Greenland there is
scarcely pure Eskimo for all the natives
have a greater or less admixture of Euro
pean blood. They spoke dialect of the
Eskimo language and were understood
with difficulty by the west coast natives
the explorer had with him.
