We are called upon this week to
chronicle the death of one of Della
ware county's most respected farm
ers, Carl Hawker, ST., which occurred
Friday morning March End at the
home of his son Carl northeast of
town. He had not been in the best
of health for some time but his
death came rather unexpected. Carl
Hawker was born Sept. 10, 1929, in
Liebben, Germany, where his child
hood days were spent. He was
united in marriage to Sophia Burt,
Oct. 20. 1854, at Boldikow, Germany.
They immigrated to the United
States April 10Th, 1883, and settled
at Delaware, shortly afterward re-
moving to farm near Hopkiuton.
They lived on that place for five
years when they removed to the
farm in Hazel Green township which
has since been their home. Ten
children were born to them, seven
of whom together with the widow
are lett 10 mourn the loss OF KIND
father and devoted husband. The
deceased was man Of irreproachable
character whose integrity was never
questioned and was honored and re-
spected by everyone. He and his
estimable wife celebrated their
Golden Wedding Thursday Oct. 90,
1901 and it was not thought at that
time that he would so soon be called
before his Maker. The funeral was
4 held Sunday afternoon from the
Lutheran church and was largely
attended. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. E. Melchert and the
remains were laid to rest in the
Golden Cemetery.-Ryan Reporter.

JACKSON PEOPLE
 ARE UP X TREE
JACKSON EXPOSITION COMPANY HAS RENTAL OF OLD CAPITOL BUILDING AND GROUNDS AT $1o PER YEAR.

Jackson, Miss, April 24.-The Missis- sippi Exposition company, composed of all the prominent business men in the city of Jackson, is "up a tree" so to speak, for the reason that the directors are at some loss to know just what to think of the measure passed by the legis- lature granting the use of the old capi- told and the lands in the rear for expo sition purposes. On its face, the bill Is innocent enough, the rental being fixed at the nominal sum of $10 per year. But that seems to be mere blind, and there is a chance that the company will de-
 cline to accept the legislative ''generosi- ty." The snake is found in the fact that the Exposition company Is required to keep the old state capitol in repair--to put in all windows that are now out, to change the drainage and keep the roof repaired so that there may be no leaks. 1t Is estimated that it will cost 5000 to put In the wlr dows and stop the leaks in the roof and that is more than the Ex- position is able to do. The object of this exposition company is to give the cit izens of the state of Mississippi a state fair, of which they will grow prouder and

Fled From Burning Home In San Fran. cisco Thursday Morning-Has
 Not Been Seen Since.

Los Angeles. April 23.-Mrs. Lucien Shaw. wife of Judge Shaw of the state supreme court, has disappeared in the war of elements that ragged last week in San Francisco. AS day dawned Thurs day morning. the Shaw apartments on Pope street. San Francisco, were burned. Mrs. Shaw fled with the refugees to the hills. Judge Shaw going from Los An geles, reached his home in San Francisco Thursday at dawn to find the house burn ing fiercely. A friend told him that his wife had fled just a few minutes before. For two days and nights Judge Shaw wandered over the hills and through parks in San Francisco seeking among 100000 refugees for his wife. He had no sleep little food and less water, and at noon Saturday he gave up the search and hurried back to Los Angeles, hoping to find that Mrs. Shaw had arrived be- fore him.

LITTLE MISERY
 AT FORT MASON
Acute Suffering, However, at Carville On Account of Scarcity of Food
 and Shelter.

San Francisco April 2S.--At Fort Mason there is little misery on account of the cold rain. About S0o0 people are eneamped and on account of the sandy and slopng ground sanitation Is not bad. Food is plentiful and of fair variety.
 The health of the refugees at this place is as good as can be expected under the circumstances. There Is some general sickness, but on account of comparatively perfect sanitary conditions there is no danger of any sort of epidemic.
 There is acute suffering at carville, caused by scarcity of food and poor shelter There are 900 native inhabitants of this section and 700 refugees At pres ent sanitation is good. order Is perfect. Here again the sandy soil and sloping ground relieves the situation from damp ness.

CLEARING HOUSE
 MEMBERS MEET
THE BANKS WILL BE ABLE TO AM SWER ALL CALLS BY DEPOSIT oRS WHEN THE TIME COMES TO
 REOPEN THEIR DOORS.

San Francisco, April '23-The members of the Clearing House association met this afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Aleanor Martin The association was in session for an hour, but its plans were not in sufficiently settled form to be given out It was announced, however, that the association has passed the resolution up- holding and commenting the action of Governor Pardee In declaring legal holiday from day. to day, The associa- ton regarded this as the best possible method of giving time to the banks to get their affairs into such shape that they may pay their depositors and meet other obligations without the trouble that would be likely to ensue if they were to be called upon at the present time.
 It was the general opinion that the banks would be able to meet all calls upon them when the time comes for the reopening of their doors.
 E. H. Hartman. president of the South ern Pacific company. and head of the great Hartman railway system, was present at the meeting of the clearing house dssOcldtO1l. fie tApTtSSSu tHe deepest sympathy for those who had suffered through the disasters which have overtaken the city, but he was very op- timstic over the future. He said that he believed San Francisco would rapidly re- cover from the serious blow that had been struck at It's commercial life. and he announced his intention to remain in the city as long as his interests in the east would permit him to do so. and further to do all that he could to help in the building again of the city to commercial eminence greater than be- fore.
 While the clearing house was in session today representatives of the savings banks of San Francisco were meeting in another room of the Martin residence to consider the affairs of the smaller institutions. The savings banks formed temporary committee to handle the present crisis. The savings banks also decided to act in unison in the efforts to puu through the present situation in the best way possible.

prouder year by year. as has been done by the business men of the city of Dallas, Tex. Jackson has spent a great deal of money in getting up two expositions, so far, and feels that the legislature might have dealt more liberally with them. The old capitol is crumbling to the ground. Hundreds of window panes are out, and the rains pour through the roof as if there was not shingle or piece of tin in a mile of it. The state has spent thousands of dollars at time in the way of repairs on this capitol roof, and 1t is in worse fix now than ever before. The exposition company will hold a meeting in day or two to discuss the matter with the capitol commission, and if it be held that under the act of the legisla- ture the exposition company Is to spend any great sum of money in the way of repairs, the chances are that the expos- ton company will look elsewhere for a site

 The little town of Stewart, on the Southern railway, wants that company to come across with taxes amounting to s2 50, and has spent almost that sumin postage writing the commission about the claim. The commission fixed the valuations for Stewart, just as it does for all other towns and villages in the state, but Stew art went ahead and raised all valuations. the railroad included. The commission has been appealed to, and if 1t has not. will advise the assessor of Stewart that the valuation fixed by the commission must stand The town has the right to fix the assessment, or the amount of the levy for taxation in it's town, but the taxes assessed against the railroad must be the same as is assessed against the private individual.

 General Steward l.. Woodford, of the Pilgrims society, saying he was speaking for President Roosevelt, explained the at titude assumed by the president in re- fusing from other nations in sending aid to stricken San Francisco.
 The president in the midst of the hor- TOTS of San Francisco" he said, kindly, by the other nations, and especially through St. Georges society, the assist ance of England. The president stated that, bowed as the American people were under their load, 1t was his wish that the American people show to the world that under such an diversity the United States would take care of it's own, would rise equal to the terrible occasion; would feed their own hungry; would clothe their own naked, and spurred on by the in- domitable courage, which this people have always exhibited under stress of distract ing calamity, set up their flag and move to the assistance of the city that once was and build q new city even though the earth shook beneath It's foundation. In doing this in refusing your great beneh- cience. the president still feels that he Is greatly honored as the American people In that England and the other great na- tions not only sent messages of regret. but offers of substantial material, and he felt that the nation as a nation would set an example to other nations"
