DECORATIONS FOR AMERICANS.
Germany to Decorate Those Who
Have Had to do With the Trip of
Prince Henry.

Berlin, July 21.-Cabinet orders ON
|ferring decorations on about 800 Amer
leans who had to do with the trip of
Prince Henry, of Prussia, to the Unit
ed States are in Emperor Williams
hands for signature. The foreign office
sent the papers to his majesty a fort
night g and their return and the an
|nouncement of the decorations are ex-
|pected any day. The list was made up
largely by Won Holleben, the German
ambassador at Washington, though of
course Prince Henry personally suggest
ed a good many names.
The delay in fixing UP the list seems
to have been due to the necessity for
ascertaining beforehand whether per-
sons in official positions would and
could accept. There has been much
correspondence between the foreign of
flee and DR.. Won Holleben regarding the
latitude of the American officials, which
individual preferences, as set forth in
the correspondence, are kept inviolable
here. However, after months of eX-
Ichange of views h list was finally
|agreed upon and sent to the United
Estates embassy for revision.
The United States ambassador, An
drew D.. White, following precedent in
ISucn cases, pOlllely Qecl1neQ TO make
any suggestions and returned the list
to the foreign office without any express
sion of opinion. 1t appears that a
standing instructing of the state de-
Ipartment is that the bestowal of decor
ations shall be discouraged, as much as
possible, because decorations have no
place in the American government sys-
tenn, cannot be returned in kind, and
nearly always lead to diplomatic annoy
lances.
1t is understood that the decorations
are chiefly various classes of the crown
order. Each case of the several Prus-
sian orders has a number of shades.
In the Red Eagle, for instance, there
lare thirty.

ENGLAND EVENTS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ozzie Nevins spent
Sunday at the parental Guthrie home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keeran ate dinner
Sunday at the John Beedle home.
Mrs. Elmer Tyrrel is on the sick list
at present.
On last Monday night the neighbors
gathered at the Worthy Johnson home
to bid the family farewell, as they left
for their home in Missouri. A boun-
tiful supper was spread, consisting of
oysters, peaches, cake and other deli
cacies of the season, to which all did
ample justice Everyone enjoyed the
evening and the only thing to mar the
pleasure of the evening was the
thought that it was a farewell to the
Johnson family, who have resided in
this vicinity almost seven years. We
wish them well in their new home.
1t is with sorrow we record the
death of Mr.. VIM. Crowell, who re-
Gently passed awey. His wife died
about three weeks before he was call
ed away, thus leaving four orphaned
children so suddenly bereft of both
parents. Much sympathy is express
ed for the bereft family.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Clark, Mrs. Done
gan, son and daughter, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Dave Williams of Ottumwa, were
Sunday visitors at the home of M.
and Mrs. Dolph Templeton.
Misses Lizzie and Cinda Beedle
were Oskaloosa visitors Sunday.
Everyone should remember the
Thanksgiving Day services to be held

season. 1t is hoped that many will
turn out and celebrate.
Resolutions Of Coincidence.
Again the hand of death has entered
the home of George and Henry Gro
we'll and removed from their embrace
the form of their loving father. This
affection coming so soon after the
death of their mother is indeed hard
to bear, but they do not sorrow as
those who have no hope. We, the
Bethel Society of Christian Endeavor,
extend to them our heartfelt sym
pathy in their great bereavement.
