Captain K. W. Brown.

MIR. Brown is to be in this city
and give three addresses on Sabbath
next. He lives at Ames, Ia, where
he has resided for thirtysix years
and for thirty years he has been the
western agent for New York
manufacturing house for which he
travels in six states. His home
paper says of him: "The Captain
is known all over the state as one Of
the most successful travelling men
on the road. But he is more than
that. He is a e-hearted, sunny
faced, broad minded, level-headed,
Christian citizen.
The Waterloo Courier saws:
Captain Brown is travelling sales
man and one Of the finest orators Of
the day."
The g. A. R. Advocate, referring
to his army life says: In this last
service he participated in all the
great battles of the army of the
Potomac, and SO distinguished him
self in the last mighty struggle that
la Colonel's star ought to have
decorated his shoulders, for his own
hands snatched the colors from its
headbearer and planted them, the
first on Fort He'll, (Fort Malone,
at Petersburg. 1t was an act for 6
lifetime.
On next Sabbath, the 9th ms
Capt. Brown will speak on Evangel
ical themes at the Presbyterian

Death Of Mrs. T. j. Hennessy.

A death that has left many mourn
ing hearts in this city and vicinity
was that of Mrs. 7. j. Hennessy
on Thursday morning last.
Mrs. Hennessy had been ailine
for some time previous to her de.
cease, though it did not seem pos.
sible that death was lowering SC
near. Rheumatism and compli.
cation of troubles caused her much
suffering during her latter days
the beginning Of it all having been
of long standing, probably as long
ago as fourteen or fifteen years.
| Winifred Work, the only daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Work,
esteemed residents of this city, was
born in Rockford, Illinois, thirty
nine years ago the End of October
When still child, she came with
her parents to Manchester, and here
she grew up to lovely and useful
womanhood. She was happily
united in marriage with Thomas j
Hennessy the-l2th of April, this
year, and the official home of the
Sheriff of Delaware county was
made bower of beauty by the bride
and groom where their friends ever
found u cordial welcome and sweet
content.
lirs. Hennessy enjoyed large
circle of acquaintance than it falls
to the most of us to know, and each
one counted her their friend and
admired her for that happiness OF
spirit that gave them only the
bright side of life and for the per-
feet womanhood for which she
stood. And among that closer cir
Gle OF her more intimate friends, she
was SO endeared that never again
can one mold that place in their
hearts where she so long held queen
ly sway. To them and to the hus-
band, her companionship was rare
JOY, the pleasure of which will lin
ger in memory as the odor of a
damask rose forever.
Besides the father and mother
and the husband, she is survived by
two brothers, Ralph and Will, both
OF this city, and to these bereaved
relatives the consolation is offered
that many are mourning with them,
grieved over the loss of a beautiful
friend.
The. funeral services were held at
the home Saturday morning, Rev
erend Father O'Meara officiating,
and interment was made in the
Work family lot at the cemetery.

Be it Resolved, That we, the county

pathizs with our fellow co laborer,

death of his estimable and loving wife,
Winuifred Hennessey, who departed
this life at seven o'clock, Thursday
morning, November 18th, 1904. Be it
further
Resolved, That in extending to Sher-

pathv in this sad hour, we cannot but

AS rule, the man with capital in
seeking field for investment, invari-
ably prefers that locality in which his
money not only earns a profit, but
where the natural conditions, aided by
economical methods, make his venture
sale as well. Like other enterprises, OF
course, in which investors embark
mining sometimes, either through lack
OF Judgment, bad management, or lack
of confidence sufficient to reach the
goal sought, proves failure; the in
vestor loses his money and the district
gets black eye from which in requires
time to recover. While instances of
this character have occurred in this
county in the past, they are of no more
frequent occurrence here than in the
average mining community. In fact,
this is true of any mineral country
where the ore bodies are proven beyond
the peradventure of a doubt. In ANA
dor county the mining industry passed
the embryonic stage years ago The
mother lode is not conjecture. The
constant roar of stamps which greets
the ear on every hand along this now
famous lode should be, and are, suf-
ficient evidence, to the man looking for
profitable investments, that this coun-
ty's mineral resources offer reasonable
inducements.

doris claims for merit have long since
been proven, but because we of the
county know that it's hills abound in

is no reason why we should rest on our
oars, as it were, and let it 60 at that.
No enterprising man of business is salts
fled to purchase large stock of goods
and quietly sit down and wait for Gus

The supreme court in the case of

the superior court of Stanislaus
county, has again reiterated the
opinion that distinguishing mark
placed upon a ballot-whethe it be
a legal mark Illegally placed, or an
illegal mark made by the voter for
the purpose of identifying the ballot.
invalidates such ballot. The case
went up mainly on the stamping of
Cross in the square opposite the
words No nomination. The parties
were rival candidates for the Office
of district attorney, and the contest
hinged upon the question whether
the ballots marked after the words
No nomination should be counted.
1t was evident that these marks
were not made for the purpose of
Identifying the ballots. Neverthe-
less the supreme court main tains
that the intent of the voter could
not be inquired into. The crosses
were illegally stamped, whether in
tentionally or not made no differ
ence; they should be rejected. This
decision will definitely settle the
point involved, and hereafter nomi-
mating conventions will do well to
see that such dangerous snags do
not appear on the party ticket.
Every Office should be supplied
with candidate, even though
there be little hope of electing the
nominee. This action is imperative
ly demanded as protection to the
other nominees.

In employing helm for the conduct a

In employing help for the conduct of
his business the wise business man in
variably chooses those persons whose
personal appearance is good, whose in
tegrity is unquestioned, and in the
hands of whom he is satisfied his busi-
ness interests are safe. What is ap-
plicable to his help is applicable as well
to the institution upon which he be-
stows his advertising patronage. The
newspaper with the most workmanlike
appearance, both as to the arrange
ment of its news matters and the dis
play of its advertisements, and whose
integrity for conservation has never
been questioned, must certainly offer
the only reliable field in which to pub
lish his invitations for the patronage
of customers and friends. Surely the
matter of advertising is just as i'm
portant as the selection of clerk or
salesman.
