DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Mrs Matilda Judd Rice Expired Suddenly
at Ger Home Friday Afternoon.

Mrs. Matilda Judd Rice, wife of
Samuel 7. Rice and one of the earliest
pioneer settlers of Kenosha county,
died Friday afternoon shortly after 2
O'Clock at the family residence, 778
Grand avenue. The final summons
came as great shock to the mem bers
of the family. For several months
Mrs. Rice had been i'll but her friends
and relatives had seen SO much inn
proyement that hope was held out for
her ultimate recovery. Ten days ago
a relapse came and Mrs. Rice had been
growing steadily weaker. Yesterday
morning, however, she was bright and
cheerful, and within a few minutes of
her death she chatted in a cheerful
mood with her daughter, who was
attending her, Mrs. Keller, who had
been with her constantly since her
illness, left the room for moment ard
when she returned the heart action
had already stopped and Mrs. Rice
expired few moments later.
Matilda Judd Rice was a daughter
of James w. and Renda Rich Judd.
She was born at Caroline Center, New
York, on the eighth day of April, 1926.
In 1910 she came with her parents to
Southport and two years later she was
united in marriage to Samuel 7. Rice,
who survives her. For the past sixty
two years Mrs. Rice has been resi-
dent of Kenosha and her gentle,
woman1y manners and cheerful dis
position have won for her host of
friends to whom the announcement of
her death will come as personal sor-
row. She took such an active interest
in the lives of those around her that
she seemed to draw them to her.
Mrs. Rice was an active member of
the Unitarian church and had done
much to advance the interests of the
denomination. She is survived by
three children, son, Fred A. Rice, of
this city, and two daughters, Mrs.
Inez Keller, widow of the late Rev.
John Keller of New York, and Mrs.
Edith Mcintyre, who is now on the
stage as a member of the team of
Mcintyre and Rice.

AUTHOR CHARLES MCKENZIE
He Writes Book on Prohibition. Soon
to be Published.

Charles Mckenzie, well known in
Crawford county. who is now liv-
ing in Des Moines has written book
on prohibition. The book will soon
be in the hands of the printer and no
doubt Mr. Mckenzie will be able to dis
pose of a great number of them. If
anyone is in position to write on pro-
hibition 1t is Mckenzie The Des
Moines Capital in speaking of the new
book says:
Maj Charles Mckenzie, the we'll
known lawyer and orator, has become
an author. His first book is work on
prohibition, on which the major has
been engaged for couple of months
past. The book is now about COM
pleted and will be ready for the print,
er in a short time,
| Those who have seen the manuscript
state that Maj Mckenzie has dealt
with the prohibition question from an
entirely new standpoint and has not
gone over the old worn out themes, but
has taken up with an absolutely new
idea.
In discussing his forthcoming book
today, Maj Mckenzie said
| II was invited some months ago to
do this work and after hesitating for
awhile accepted. l believe that can
give good advice on the prohibition
question and that my work will be
something new in this line. | will be
satisfied if can be of service in saw
ing some from drink"
A publisher has been secured for the
book and it will be issued in short
time.
Maj. Mckenzie is one of the best
known educators, lawyers and veterans
in the state. He was superintendent
in the public schools of Dubuque for
many years, personal friend of Gen.
Anderson, Senator Allison and other
notables. He has practiced law in
Des Moines for many wears and ranks
high up in the bar. He was member
of the Ninth Iowa infantry in the civil
war and was adjustant of thatregiment
seeing much hard, active service.

S1A p of campaigning are thus
AA@ described by an eye-wit.
~E ness. This was on the &C.
W casion of his first nomina-
Hs5ssI ton as legislative candi-
~ date:
"Mr. Lincoln's first ap.
pearance on the stump, in the
course Of the canvass, was at
Pappsville, about eleven miles west
of Springfield, upon the occasion
of a public sale by the firm Of
Poog & KNAPP. The sale over, speech
making was about to begin, when Mr..
Lincoln observed strong symptoms OF
lnattentlon in his audience, who had
taken that particular moment to en-
gage in what Mr.. James A. Herndon
prcnounces "a general fight Lincoln
saw that one of his friends was suffer-
ing more than he liked in the melee;
and. stepping into the crowd, he
shouldered them sternly away from
his man, until he met fellow who re-
fused to fall back; him he seized by
the nape Of his neck and the stat of
his breeches, and tossed him ten or
twelve feet easily After this episode
as characteristic of him as of the
times-he mounted the platform, and
delivered, with awkward modesty, the
following speech:
Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens,
presume you all know who am. l am
humble Abraham Lincoln. I have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come candidate for the legislature
My politics are short and sweet, like
the old woman's dance. I am in favor
of a national bank. I am in favor Of
the rnal-improvement system and
high protective tariff. These are my
sentiments and political principles. If
elected, shall be thankful; if not, it
will be all the same
'In these few sentences Mr.. Lincoln
adopted the leading principle Of the
Wing party-Clay's American Sys-
tenn in full. In his view, as we shall
see by another paper from him when
again a candidate in 1884, the Internal
Improvement system required the dis
tribution of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands amongst the states
He says nothing of South Carolina, of
notification, of disunion; and on these
subjects it is quite probable his views
pathies with Jackson. The opinions
announced in this speech, on all the
subjects touched by the speaker, were
as emphatically Wing as they could
be made in words"

little bolder than the rest, but evident
ly feeling that he spoke for the whole,
cried out. This is cowardly on your
part, Lincoln!" Whereupon the tall
captains figure stretched few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have muir
dered a defenceless old Indian, and
now quailed before his single hand,
with lofty contempt. The oldest of his
acquaintances. even Bill Green, who
saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and
defy the DULLES at his back, never saw
him SO much aroused" before If
any man thinks I am a coward, let
him test it," said he. Lincoln" re-
sponded new voice, you are larger
and heavier than we are" This you
can guard against; choose your wea-
pons," returned the rigid captain.
Whatever may be said of Mr.. Lin
coins choice of means for the preser-
vation of military discipline, it was
certainly very effectual in this case
There was no more disaffection in his
camp, and the word coward" was
never coupled with his name again.
Mr. Lincoln understood his men bet
ter than those who would be disposed
to criticise his conduct. He has often
declared himself, that his life and
character were both at stake, and
would probably have been lost, had he
not at that supremely critical moment
forgotten the officer and asserted the
man. To have ordered the offenders
under arrest would have created a
formidable mutiny; to have tried and
punished them would have been i'm
possible. They could scarcely be call
ed soldiers; they were merely armed
citizens. with nominal military or
ganzaticn. They were but recently
enlisted, and their term of service
was just about to expire. Had he
preferred charges against them, and
offered to submit their differences to
court of any sort, it would have
been regarded as an act Of personal
pusillanimity and his efficiency would
have been gone forever.

According to her station as the
daug-.er of the head of one of the
greatest powers in the world she would
be received with most distinguished
honor. Court etiquette will be bind
ing upon her. Miss Roosevelt would
be out of place as young lady merely
in the suite of Mr.. Reid, the special
American ambassador. The hard and
fast rules of monarchy make it
necessary that she should be recog.
nized completely or not at ali.
Those who know foreign customs
say that Miss Roosevelt would rank
with the princesses of the blood, next
to those in immediate succession to
a throne.
If she attends the coronation she
will, therefore, wear a robe of Grim
son, or. as it is called, royal purple.
She will be distinguished from the
peeresses by additional bands of err
mine and miniver. The princesses
will, or course, wear golden coronets.
Miss Roosevelt will be conspicuous
among this group by the fact that her
fair young head will not be adorned
by the golden circlet, balls and straw
berry leaves. This is owing to the
fact that her fathers dignity is not
hereditary. @...
according to court etiquette another

The visit of Prince Henry to the

kaiser, he is not directly descended
from the reigning sovereign. Therefore
the nonor paid to Miss Roosevelt will
equal that which would be paiu to the

In it's possibilities for the exchange

of this gentle lady in her
last days is given as follows:
Mrs. Lincoln was never able to
speak of Abe's conduct to her without
tears. In her interview with Mr.. Hern-
don when the sands of her life had
nearly run out, she spoke with deep
emotion Of her own son, but said she
thought that Abe was kinder, better.
truer, than the other. Even the moth
ers instinct was lost as she looked
back over those long years of poverty
and privation in the Indiana cabin.
when Abe's grateful love softened the
rigors of her lot, and his great heart
and giant frame were always at her
command. Abe was poor boy said
she, and I can say what scarcely one
woman-a mother-can say in a thou
sand. Abe never gave me a cross word
or look, and never refused, in fact or
appearance, to do anything I requested
him. I never gave him a cross word
in all my life. " His mind and
mine-what little I had-seemed to
