Death of Charles w. Getchell.

4
Charles w. Getchell, who died
Christmas morning at Bismark, N.
D., has many warm friends in this
community who have been pro-
foundry touched by his untimely
death. AT the ascendant age of
thirty, on the threshold of a useful
and honorable career, with the
laurels of gallant military service
and of honest statecraft still fresh
upon his brow, he seemed filter for
the needs of a rising state than for
the courts of the hereafter.
He died of persistent rheumatism,
which had been assailing him for
some time and finally settled about
the heart. Gov. White of North
Dakota, to whom he was private
secretary and at whose house he
died, wrote TO Mrs. Guy few days
before his death, explaining his
critical condition and foreshadow-
ing the end.
Charles Getchell's home was with
his mother at Valley City, where he
was much admired for his energy,
courage and warm-hearted loyalty;
but he spent the most active years
of his youth with Mr.. and Mrs. C.
V. Guy of this city who loved and
fostered him as a son. He attended
the High School for several years
and was graduated in the class of
1900 with Fred Mckee and Andrew
Lien as classmates and Prof. r. B.
Hazard, principal. He was gen
eral favorite among his associates
here; for his boldness and initiative
made him capital leader in all
athletic sports and his innate chiv-
airy and candid affability gave him
a charming presence in society.
His career in Dakota has been &C.
tive and high-minded. He studied
law, was admitted to the bar, held
local offices with honor, and served
as lieutenant in the American army
in the Orient. On his return, he
continued his interest in public af-
fairs and was honored by the con-
fidence of Gov. White who appoint
ed him his private secretary.
The funeral which was held
Saturday at Valley City was under
the immediate auspi es of the
Masonic Fraternity, the order of
Knights Templar, of which he was
a member, taking the initiative.
The sacred offices were performed
by the Episcopalian rector for the
Masons and by the Congregational
pastor for the church in which the
services where held. The abund-
ance and beauty of the floral offer
ings suggested something of the
wide esteem i'll which the young
man was held; while the general
gathering of societies and friends
was noble tribute to his memory.
In addition to the Masons, the
Modern Woodmen, The Knights of
Pythias, the Fire Department and
Company &C" of the North Dakota
Volunteers were among the organi-
cations that did honor to his funeral.
His mother, Mrs. Lois Stiles
Getchell, his sister, Mrs. Florence
Burke, and his brother Herbert, all
of Valley City, are the immediate
relatives who lament his early
death. Mrs. Getchell formerly lived
in this community and attended
school at the Academy and at the
Military Institute, at which time
she made her home with Mr.. and
Mrs. G. V. Guy.

Revival of Calico,

There is an old material coming to the fore again, and this is nothing more nor less than old-fashioned calico. 4 calico gown is so out of date as to be hopeless to the majority of people, yet those who keep right up to the mark are looking to the new calico and investiIs in it. The special cause of the return of calico to popularity is the shirt waist suit, for calico makes up so very neat ly into these suits. And another req son is the improvement in the patterns of the new calicoes which leave so very little to be desired. There come very pretty calico patterns in cream with a little figure and in light blue and light pink and in the darker colors, brown, green and navy blue These wash well. wear like iron, and are so very neat that one is tempted to invest so that one can have pretty shirt waist suit for morning wear.-Brooklyn Eagle.

LYING IN A STATE OF COMA.
A flushed Ci.Sn PerYades the yattca n as the Pope's Watchers ExpectantIy
 Await the End.

Rome. July 19.-Midnight.-Th
 pope lies tonight in a state of coma
 and there are grave doubts in the
 minds of his doctors whether he will
 ever completely emerge. His imme
 diate dissolution seems to be only
 averted by the reliability of the ae- 1 ton of his heart. His pulse. thoue h weak, continues steady Shortly be- midnight Dr. LappoBi said:
 Tho pope at the present moment is in a state Cf coma. which may be called q condition preceding the last agony, the duration of which it is inn possible to forecast. although every thing leads to the belief that his con dition can not last. To be more eX- act, he is still in state of torpcr and stupor. from which. however. he rouses occasionally when he hears sharp sounds. as for instance. the in- sisteHt voice of one of his familiaTs calling loudly to him. Left alone he lapses immediately into a condition of torpor. Al intervals he murmurs in his sleep, continuing to have fore holdings that he is bein" abandoned by his valet, Centra, and myself. These are the symptoms of incipient cerebral anemia and general eXhaus- tiou.s He can no longer turn in his bed without assistance. and is being kept alive by artificial stimulants. During the last 24 hours he has had two injections of camphcrated oil, three of caffeine and two hyp0derm- ics of salt water, besides drinking stimulants."
 Monsignor RisIotti, master of the pope.s chamber. said. earlier in the evening, that the pulse of his holiness had not yet shown any signs of be- coming intermittent, SC. despite his extrenle weakness and coma, he be iieved the pope would survive the night and possibly tomorrow.
 Both the Italian government and the authorities of the vatican have made final preparations for the pope's Geath.
 The government is rigidly censor ing all telegrams and telephouic com between Italy and ihe rest of the continent. At this hour bat few remain at the vatican. Dr. Mazzeni and Dr. RoSsoni and the car dinals have gone 10 their homes to await the last urgent summons

 One morning, at the agonizing hour of four o'clock. Charlie was awakened by a most uneartaly baby yelling ard screaming, and sat up in bed with a start.
 Can't you stop that baby?' he de- manded. Did you ever in your life be- fore hear such racket from pair of lungs? I don't think that there ever was a mortal. or an immortal, who made such an ear-splitting, eep-destroying noise since babies were invented until this blessed moment

WAR A PROBABILITY.

Pekin, July Recording to Iirlo- mats here the greatest factor f, the eastern situation is the Increasing danger of war between Russia anl Japan. They believe it is becoming plain that Russia is willing to fight Japan if convinced that nc ether pew CTS will assist her. The Russians are confident of their ability to easily defeat Japan. and are said to he am ieus 10 settle definitely her position in eastern politics and end her aaEi- tiens to oppose Russia's progress in >ianehuria. The belief is attributed to the Japanese that the Russian policy is to attempt to plaeate Great Britain and America and provoke Japan into beginning hostilities. They regard Russia'S consent to opening ports in Manehuria, the czar's prom ised visit to England and the occuna- tion of Ccrean border as parts of that policy. Russia's activity on the lalu river is more Irritating to Japan than the retention of Manchuria, and all Japanese officials in China speak of war as a "prebablity."
