.MORTUARY.
Undine i. Ross.

Mrs. UndiEe l. Ross. the subject of
this sketch, was born in Van Buren
county, Iowa, December 80. in the year
1866, where she spent her childhood
days. From there she moved with her
parents to Leon, Decatur county, in the
same state. While here she made many
good and faithful friends who will mourn
her loss.
In June of 1891 she married Mr.. Will
liam Ross in Pittsburg, Kansas. They
took up housekeeping in Girard, where
Mr.. Ross parents are in business. For
the first seven years of their married
life they lived in Girard, moving to this
place about three years ago, where they
still lived at tie time of her death. For
some years past Mrs. Ross suffered
much from stomach trouble. Nearly a
year ago she was aid low with sickness
and except for few short intervals suf-
fered intensely from pain and weakness
which was borne with rare patience and
fortitude, and she often spoke of the
sufferings of Christ for her, and was
strong in faith. giving glory to God.
She was attended by DR.. Cofman, who
with skilled nurses and the loving touch
of mother who cared for her during
her last illness, did all that medical skill
and loving care could do to ease and
help the sufferer. She passed away
peacefully at an early hour on November
28th.
As mother she was known to be
most tender and kind; asa daughter
she had all the essential qualities, and
as wife was q noble example; as a
neighbor pen cannot describe, and those
who knsw her best are those who loved
her most. She is survived by her moth
er, of Leon, Iowa, who will live with Mr..
Ross aHd care for the two little orphans,
! Rex, seven years, and Pauline, ten
years of age; three brothers who live in
Leon, Iowa, Mrs. Merwin, of this city,
and another sister in St. Joseph, who is
an invalid and unable to attend the fu-
neral.
By her request the Rathbone Sisters
took charge of the house and conducted
their procession to the Episcopal church,
of which Mrs. Ross was member, and
where her minister, Rev. w. w. Hod-
gins, conducted services for the burial
of the dead.
| The remains were taken to Girard for
interment where the funeral party was
met by crowds and the Degree Of Honor,
the Rathbone Sisters, the Knights OF
Pythias and the Workmen all turned
out and marched from the depot to the
city square where procession of over
mile long followed to the cemetery.
] The floral wreaths were very beauti
full.
The bereaved family and relatives
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity-Iola, Kas., Daily Register.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE IN 1904

The total electoral vote of all the
states under the new apportionment
will be 476, an increase of 20 over
1900. The votes necessary to choice
of president are 239. The states that
have gained are:
Arkansas, 1; California, l, Colorado,
/; Connecticut, /; Florida, l; Illinois,
8: Louisiana, |; Massachusetts,, u;
Minnesota, 2; Mississippi, /; Missouri,
l; New Jersey, 2; New York, 2; North
Dakota, i; North Carolina, 1; Pennsyl-
vania, 2; Texas, 8; Washington, l.;
West Virginia, i; Wisconsin l.
If the elections Of this year had been
for president, with the recorded results,
the vote would have been:
Republican electors 81
Democratic electors ......-l5S
Republica., majority. ...................lG0
Mr.. McKinley's majority in 1900 was
1856.
The republican vote was made up of
the solid east Except Rhode Island),
the solid west Except Nevada), and
Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia
at the south.
To elect the president the democrats
must carry all the states they carried
this year and gain 81 more electors.
In the three elections of democratic
candidates from 1876 to 1892 the demo.
Gratis carried the states of New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
These states now have 73 electors-s
short of the additional number required
to win on the basis of this years elec
ton, AS Rhode Island will undoubted
ly vote for the republican candidate fol
president, an offset to her votes woulc
also be necessary.
In the elections of this year the largt
republican pluraities in Connecticut
Indiana and New jersey show that I
great change of public feeling mus
occur before they can be recovered b.
the democrats. New York is NOR
hopeful ground. But where are th
other necessary votes coming from?
OF The fifteen states west of tn
Mississippi, ten of which were carrie,
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896, the republican
this wear carried all but one, with al
aggregate plurality of 27s,0o0. So tina
this field does not look very promising
Mus. the gains be looked for in tn
east or in the middle west? And wha
kind of policy and candidate will rende
success most likely! These are the fact
and this is the problem which are al
ready engaging the attention of demo
cratic leaders aud rs.-New Yorl

There is touch of kindly satire in the
comment of the Springfield Republican
on the presidents message. 1t says:
"We have in the opening paragraphs
some words dealing with the American
people as chosen people who might,
if they would, find their Moses in the
strenuous, the exuberant, the unre-
strained and combative character which
now occupies the chief executive chair
of.the nation.'' The tameness of the
message on the vital questions that are
uppermost in public thought today
illustrates that the presidents strenuos-
ity Just at the present time is to secure
nomination and election.

A thoughtful exchange aptly remarks
that as stocks TOOK to the toboggan

Cross Keys Chronicles.

Mr., Editor Our new post master,
| Mr.. w. II. Wiiburn, has recommend
ed new route from Cross Keys to
Enoree, and the authorities have
granted it to go into effect in short
time. Mail will leave Gross Keys at
z 80 u. IN. arrive at Enoree IL 30 a..
m, back to Cross Keys 1870 p. m. =.
Bids for carrying mail have been sent
in, and route from here to Clinton
is being talked Of; if we get that the
Keys will have the mail facilities
that we have long hoped for. We
have fine section Of country from
here to Jones' Ford on the Enoree
river that has no mail facilities what
ever, and apublic road and one of the
best Of bridges across the Enoree to
Clinton, distance Of Ii miles.
Some of us, and especially your
correspondent, will be glad when
Prince Henry leaves the u. s. and
also when Roosevelt's boy gets we'll.
He may be good boy, he may be a
bad boy, and what more is he than
one Of your boys or anybody else's
boy, Is there something in poor,
fallen humanity that wishes to wor-
ship man? or is it society or sty-
lish? If a poor tramp was lain be-
side Roosevelt and each of their
hearts had ceased to beat, would not
the crowd as they passed by pro-
nounce them two dead men? | think
so. AS to Prince Henry | don't care
enough about him tc read what the
papers say-enough for me to know
that we, after years Of most terri
BILE revolution, gained our independ-
ence, and that we are thankful that
we are in land that claims to be
united, and | trust forever freed from
royalty, and it don't make any diff
ference whether we or our represent
tatives are invited to dine with q
sample OF yoke that our forefathers
bled and died to libarate US forever
from. / am glad that that they
would not allow Tillman to take his
seat at that table, he is too much Of
q type Of noble manhood, too much
a representative Of the brotherhood
man, too common, too noble, too
pure 500 sincere to be classed with
such a crowd of swells, made fat by
the hard earnings of poor humanity.
What is going to become of such a
crowd as that in the day of Judge
ment. Lord deliver us from such
pretence and make Us humble that
we make this old world better by
hayipg lived In It.
