The Valley Junction Express says,
Roosevelt is receiving much the
same treatment as president from
disgruntled opponents that Is being
accorded Cummins as governor of Iowa
from the same source. And the true
animus OF the opposition in both
cases Is we'll understood by the
people"
IF the men opposing Governor Cum
Minis will stop the false cry of Cana
dian free trade for which no Iowa
republican stands, and simply show
they are willing In the name of har-
mony to show good faith toward the
compromise of last year There ought to
be no difficulty In speedily reaching a
logical compromise this year asserts
the Spirit Lake Beacon. The Beacon
believes the Des Moines platform of
1903 is quite good enough for 1904"
NO matter whether Hon. a. b. Funk
OF Spirit Lake finally consents TO be-
come candidate for congress" the Sac
City Sun remarks there is a
strong sentiment that his selection AZ
one OF the MISUNDERSTANDING TO the
Republican national convention would
be very appropriate action for tn ,
next state convention. No man Is more
thoroughly in touch with the progress
slve republicanism in northwestern
Iowa than is Mr.. Funk. No man that
might be suggested l,as borne a more
honored part in the councils of the
party, and no man is more deserving nj
the honor. The present writer Is de-
lighted with the suggestion and hopes
to see Mr.. Funk chosen"

MRS. ]. D. WHITAKER, JR. DEAD.
A Young Woman Of Lovely Christian
Character Called AWAY.

1t was with great grief yesterday af-
ternoon that the friends and acquaintance
OF the family heard of the death of Mrs.
u. d. Whitaker. Jr.
This occurred about four O'Clock in the
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Amelia
Whitaker, the grand mother of Dr. J. D..
Whitaker, two miles north of Raleigh
Mrs. Whitaker was a young woman OF
sweet and lovely character and her
charming life had won many friends for
her. She was just twentyfi five years Of
age, the daughter of Mr.. Marmaduke J.
Hawklns, of Ridgeway a sister of Miss
Janet Hawkins, and grand niece OF DR..
A. b. Hawkins, of this city.
1t was just a short while over year
ago-January, 1903, that she came to Raj
eigh as the lovely bride of Dr. i. D.
Whitaker. Jr., and all life seemed to
spread cut in brightness before her She
was apparently in good health, but ere
long her CONDITION was such as to bring
grave fears to her family and her loving
husband He took her to Saranac Lake
New York trusting that its bracing air
might bring the roses back to her checks
but this failed. and in search for health
for her whom he loved so well he turned
his face to the West, and in the balming
Dreczes of California sought Los Angeles
and places in that section, but all in
vain
Then they came home, arriving here
about two weeks ago. Mrs. Whitaker's
condition being such that she wanted to
be near her people. She grew worse, and
in the last few days it was seen that the
end of her sweet young life was approach
ing.
There will be many to mourn, this sweet
lady, and in her early demise her loving
husband and those dear to her will have
the heartfelt sympathy of many sorrow
ing friends who grieve with them in this
sad hour of affliction.
The funeral services will be conducted
from Christ church this afternoon at half
past four o'clock and the interment will
be in lakewood Cemetery.
