Death OF Mrs. Geo. {. Wilson.

Delta people were shocked Monday
death of Mrs. Geo. c. Wilson. Many
were not aware of her illness. Express
sions of sorrow and deep regret were
heard on every hard as Mrs. Wilson
was we'll known and universally be-
loved She was taken ill while visiting
the schools Wednesday of last week
but managed to get home and sum-
moned a neighbor who in turn called a
physician. Her condition was consid.
cred alarming from the beginning and
| numerous consultations of physicians
were held in the hope of arresting the
disease. Besides home physicians Drs.
Cook and Fallansbee of Cleveland.
Ohio. who were here on visit. were
called in, but human efforts proved un-
availing and Mrs. Wilson sank rapidly
until death relieved her suffering Mon
day night at 9:03 o'clock.
To the bereaved husband and son and
other relatives the people of Delta eN-
tend their heartfelt sympathy in the
crushing afiliction that has come SO
suddenly and Unexpectedly upon them.
Ella Louise Brown was born July ~.
first came to Colorado in 1890 for her
health. stopping at Paonia. After n
number of months she returned east
greatly benefited. She came back to
Paonia again in 1892 and remained until
March 1893. when she left for Jersey
City to prepare for her marriage to
Mr.. George c. Wilson and which oc-
CURED June 29. 1893. MIR. and Mrs.
| Wilson then came to Delta where they
have resided continuously and made n
circle of friends that was only limited
by the extent of their acquaintance.
Two children were born, the Oldest.
aged two years and nine months,
died Oct. 10. 1897. Alfredc:aged seven
together with the husband are left tc
mourn the loss of devoted wife and
mother. the full beauty of whose char
acter they will not fully realize unit
! time and absence makes its impression.
Mrs. Wilson also leaves a mother. Mrs.
Anna A. Brown. two sisters. Miss
Mamie and Mrs. Cora Basanta and one
brother. Alfred II. Brown. all of whom
reside ut Jersey City.
The deceased has never enjoyed Wig
orous health. She went east early in
the spring where, during the month of
May she underwent an operation ant
was in the hospital four weeks. She
seemed to recover fully. however, and
came back to Delta Sept. seemingly
enjoying better health than for many
years. The immediate cause of death
is attributed by physicians to an ulcer
of the stomach.
Funeral services will be held from
the family residence at 2:so p. m. Sun
day. A service will also be held at the
Catholic church at 9 a. m.

The District Judeeship.

The Republican Convention at Mont
rose did wise thing when they placed
in nomination Mr.. Shackleford for Dist
rict Judge.
No better selection of candidate for
that high office could have been made.
Mr.. Shack leford has been respected
citizen of GunniSon for twenty-four
years. He cast his lot with the people
of this Western Slope when young
man. He has never held public office
and has been little in politics. although
his Repu has always been as
Stanch as that of anyone.
He is Republican of the old type.
He believes that man holding a public
office should hold it in trust for all the
people.
He has always denounced the modern
practice of mixing ward olitlcS with
the judiciary. He believes that the
high office of District Judge ought to
be above political intrigue. and the peo-
pie of the Seventh District ought to be
glad that at last candidate has been
/ found who. if elected. will not contain
mate his high place by making it chief
| ly machine for his reelection.
Mr.. Shackleford was educated in
early life for the profession which he
follows. His knowledge of the law has
not been acquired in any superficial
way, but he has been close student OF
tho ,~rao- rripriplaS Of his Dr,f,sSinr
always having in mind. not the com.
mercial value of legal knowledge. but
the high ideal of mastering its tenets,
| because he has always loved his pro.
/ feSSion more than wealth or public
! office.
He is peculiarly fitted by nature as
we'll as education for this place. His
temperament and disposition are kindly
and humane.
Standing always for the enforcement
of the laws, the protection of property
and life, the punishment of the guilty.
his decisions will be so tempered with
mercy that no man whose rights may
be submitted to him, need fear a Judg-
ment poisoned with malice or revenge
Mr.. Shackleford's persona! integrity
mas never been questioned. even by his
enemies. His private character and
habits are above all reproach. If we
mad more men like him in public life
the American youth would have better
examples to initiate.
Without reference to partisan poll,
ties the people of the Seventh District
ought to elect MIR. Shackleford and we
believe they will by an overwhelming
majority. Let us for once divorce the
NIGH and honorable office of District
Judge from the mire and slime of mod
ern politics and elect n man who vii
nave no friend to reward and no enemy
20 punish when he assumes his public
duties.

Volunteer Walk Builders.

Two hundred feet of cement walk is
being put in this week on the west side
of Main street in the two blocks run
ming north from Fourth street. and with
few exceptions will take in property
from Hillmans store to the Delta
House. Property owners are taking
advantage of the opportunity to get in
walks before winter comes on and stops
the work. Good thing: let as many as
possible follow suit.

SIGN For More Walks.

A petition is being circulated pro-
viding for cement sidewalks from tho
Delta House to the depot and the out
look for a requisite number of sigma
lures is favorable. lacking but twelve
the middle of the week. If the re-
quired number of signatures is obtained
it is hoped at least the two blocks be-
tween third and fifth streets can be
constructed yet this fall, but probably
not more than that could be done. The
INDEPENDENT bespeaks liberal public
spirit in this matter for the good of
the town and for the good of every
property owner and citizens of Delta
People who come from the country.
those from surrounding towns and
strangers are attracted Immediately
by the new walks that have already
and are now being put down. 1t is the
first thing they speak about and proves
how valuable a complete cement side
walk system will be to Delta.
The INDEPENDENT is sincere in the
belief that quadruple the cost of the
walk is added to the value of abutting
property and if we are half way right
in this statement property owners are
standing in their own light if they re-
fuse to sign and thus hamper others in
their desire to proceed. The cost of
putting these walks in front of busi-
ness lots is s57 per lot. If i, were
necessary to borrow money to stand
this expense the interest would not be
more than from four to six dollars
Who would do without the benefit of
these walks in front of property that is
advancing rapidly in value for the sake
of temporarily saving so small sum?
Argument is certainly all in favor of
the walk and the INDEPENDENT is hope
full that property owners will take a
liberal view of the situation and decide
that they owe the town at least a good,
substantial sidewalk. such as are now
being laid the kind that is causing
rybody to boost for Delta.
Sign the petition. Boost for great
er Delta.

The Republican rally at the opera
house Wednesday evening was pro-
nounced success and to the North Fork
boys who came down l75 strong with
their band is due a vote of thanks and
large measure of credit for the sue
cess of the meeting. The North Fork
ers are all right. They have the ginger
and the enthusiasm that is only found
in live communities. Their train was
late and they did not get in until s:45
but when they got here everybody
knew who they were, where they came
from and that they were Republicans
with big r. Each excursionist wore
a badge showing that he was North
Forker, Buchtel republican and stood
for the county ticket from top to bot
tom.
The meeting was called to order by
George Stephan who introduced Hon.
Earl NJ. Cranston as the first speaker.
Mr.. Cranston reviewed the history Of
the two dominant parties, showing that
the Republican had been the party Of
advancement, of accomplishment; that
it had stood for wei! defined principles
which were enacted into law and were
the statutes of our national government
to-day. The Republican party stood
like stone wall against slavery, it en-
acted the Homestead law that has pro-
vided free homes for millions of people.
it championed protection to American
labor and American industries and un-
der the fostering care of protective
tariff we were manufacturing every
thing at home and paying the highest
wages to home labor instead of having
these goods manufartured abroad and
paying our money to foreign labor for
doing it. The Republican party stool
for sound money. the best money in the
world and plenty of it. We have that
kind as result. The Republican party
stood for expanding our foreign traoe
and at the same time giving to an lr-
norant. uneducated people a stabl,.
Just and honest government. The Re-
publican party stands for the reforu :
championed and put into law by The.
Roosevelt and Republican congres>
While the Republican party has bee"

A meeting of the library commit
tee composed of representatives from
the various clubs in town was held
Thursday evening, Nov. s, at the
home of VIM. Mayher.
After the secretray's report had
been read, Miss Lee, chairman OF the
executive committee. made report OF
the work done by that body, in
which ways and means for raising
money for the library fund were pro-
posed.
A lively discussion followed. in
which the respective advantages OF
a Carnegie library versus a library
raised by popular subscription were
set forth most vividly by various
members OF the committee at large.
After all present had expressed
themselves on the subject, the final
vote showed the preference of the
committee OF the community to be
that the funds for the public library
be raised by private subscription.

virtue of preparation has made his
