Eddyville, June 3.-Died at $50 a.
M, Friday, May 80, 1902, at the ]. N.
Elliott home, corner of Seventh and
Mill streets, James M. kussart, of con-
sumption, after an illness of eight
months. James M. Kussart was born
in Greene county, Pennsylvania, Feb
ruary 10, 1858, his father dying while
he was still quite young. In the au-
tumn of 1865, at the age of nine years,
he emigrated with his widowed moth
er and two brothers to Iowa, settling
on farm on Grays Creek, west of
town. He received much of his early
education at the district school while
still residing on the farm. Some
years ago he left the farm, and in Sep
TENDER, 1890, he was joined in mar
riage to Miss Addie Elliott, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. j. N. Elliott, of this
place To this union were born two
sons, one of whom. Eugene, aged about
five years, the wife, his mother, Mrs.
Henrietta Kussart, his two brothers,
John Randolph and Samuel c., and a
considerable number of more distant
relatives remain to feel the grief of
parting. The wife and son have for
some time been residing at OttumwS
During the period of his married life
he and his family resided at Eddyville,
Ottumwa and Newton, he being engag-
ed much of the time in newspaper
work in which position he showed him
self to be crisp and interesting wri-
ter In 1887 he, with Horace Greeley,
founded and conducted the Eddyville
Tribune for several years. While a
citizen of this town he very efficiently
served as mayor of Eddyville for two
terms. About ten years ago he was
elected Wapello county recorder on the
democratic ticket This necessitated
his removal to Ottumwa. On complet-
| ing his term in that Office he returned
to Eddyville and again conducted the
Tribune for some months. Again leav-
| ing Eddyville he went to Newton
where he conducted the Iowa State
| Democrat for a few months. after
which he again moved to Ottumwa.
| While residing there he held the posi-
ton of city editor of the Ottumwa Sun.
| founded the Bla5esburg- Advertiser a
1 few years ago, and engaged in other
work. For about a year, up to last
October he held a position on the OF,
tumwa police force serving on the day
and afterwards on the night force.
Last October he suffered a severe at
tack of typhoid fever. which left him
| in a weakened condition. Failing to
regain his former good health, Dr.
Jacob Kussart. a cousin of the deceas
ed and DR.. Brockman of Ottumwa,
made physical examination of the
unfortunate man last December, re
yealing the fact that the patient was
laboring with the germs of consump
/ ton. 1t was planned to take him to
| Colorado for his health last winter but

undertaken. Continuing 10 fail. and
now realizing his own condition, he

z oF MISS sToNr.

There will be a very general feeling Of
qualification at the release of Miss Stone,
the American missionary, and her com
panion, for although It appears that SO
far as physical requirements were con-
cerned the captives were well treated, it
is easy to believe that they may have
suffered not a little from mental anx-
iety and apprehension.
The statement that the capture of
Miss Stone and her companion was a
political move, probably instigated by
the Macedonian committee, to which it
is said the ransom money will go, is
very likely well founded. The Mace
DOMAIN committee is a body of revolu-
tionists who aim to free Macedonia,
now a part Of European Turkey, from
the rule of the sultan. 1t has existed
for years and has made Bulgaria, espe
cially Sofia, the capital, a base of opera
lions. Its methods have been to Sc
cure the Intervention Of the powers by
agitation or instruction in Macedonia,
to the end that the powers may deprive
Turkey Of the province as they de-
prived her of Servia, Bulgaria, Bosnia
and other regions. There are many
Christians in Macedonia and the revolu-
tionary committee has worked the re.
ligious phase of the question most dill
gently. The first secretary of the Amer
lean legation at Constantinople, who has
just arrived in this country, has no
doubt that the kidnapping was done for
the purpose Of raising money to bro
mote the political work of the Mace
DOMAIN committee, the American mis-
%sionary being selected because it was
thought this country would give a more
liberal ransom than any other and raise
it more quickly. The brigands, however,
did not get all they demanded and there
was a great deal Of effort in securing
the sum paid for ransom. The only
practical lesson which the incident sug.
gests is that in future American mis-
sionaries should be careful not to place
themselves in danger of being kidnapped.
