for the occasion in the Legion of

the Army Of the Tennessee-in her
impressive manner and with the
stately demeanor that, SO uncon-

her true womanhood. The comrades
expressed themselves we'll pleased
with her talk, and a number of them

Vicksburg, and taking everything in

English girl never leaves her governess

American girl retains her vivaclty and
her interest in everything, and 1t is

T. w. summersides.

1Aio SoHAHiuhiuf Was bllOGhCo ny
1.-THE news of the sudden death of
Mr.. Thomas w. Summersides,
which occurred at his home in this
city last Sunday afternoon. He had
not been feeling well for several
days but was not-eonined to his
bed until the morning of the day
of his decease.
Mr.. Summersides was born in
Montreal, Canada, February 6,
1885. While still quite young he
became q resident Of Hazel Green,
Wis. and later went to Dubuque
where he was for several years a
compositor in the Office of the Her
aid.
In 1875 he was married to Miss
Mary Thompson. Three children
were born to them, James, Agnes
and Edith, all of whom preceded
him to that far off land beyond the
setting sun.
On Nov. 23d, 1861, he responded
to the call of his country and en-
listed as a member of Co. H, 10th
Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and
served as Sergeant Iand Lieutenant
and later was commissioned Captain
of his company. Hel was with
Sherman on his March to the Sea,
and was ever with his company, ex-
cept from the 23d day Of July 1864,
when he was taken prisoner at At
lanta, and sent to Andersonville,
where he remained until September
20, 1864, when he was exchanged,
and returned to his company and
remained with it until it was
mustered out of the service in July
1865. During his imprisonment
at Andersonville, like thousands of
other prisoners confined in that
terrible place, his health was SER
iously impaired and was never
thereafter fully restored.
He was for several years resi-
dent of Earlyille but for the past
twenty one years this city was his
home.
For number of years after COM
ing to this place he was an employee
in this office, which he resigned to
accept the position of assistant to
Hon. G. W. Durham, then post
master Of this city. AT the cloee
Of Mr.. Dunham's term he again
entered the employ Of the Dem
ocrat but severed that connection
about ten years ago to assume the
duties of postmaster at this place,
to which he was appointed by Pres
ident Mckinley, and served as
such until few months ago when
he was succeeded by II. L. Ram,
the present postmaster.
lie was a sincere christian, modest
and unassuming in his manner,
possessed of strong convictions,
honest, incorruptible and indus
trious, and was ever held in the
highest estimation by all who knew
him.
AS citizen he was Just, kind and
public spirited, as a husband and
father he was ardent and constant
in his affections and tenderly devot-
ed, as a soldier he was chivalrous
and brave, ever present where duty
called HIM, and his record as a
man. soldier and public servant is
without blelnish.
lie is survived by his widow and
one sister, Mrs. John Crosby of
Placerville, California.
He was member of the G. A. R.
corps Of this city and his comrades
of that order attended the funeral in
a body.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the NJ. d.
church, Rev. j. E. Wagner, oilici-
ating, during which the business
houses of the city were closed. In
terment was made in the cemetery
in this place under the auspices OF
the Masonic lodge Of this city.

follow any policy of curtailmeut
that lumbermen might adopt
would not effect the Boomers Ferry
plant as seriously as some others.
1t will be a question of but a short
time until the output of the mill
will be doubled.
There will, however, be a reduct-
ion of wages. The lumbermen are
the first to feel the effects of dull
times, as building operations are
the first to feel the effect Of orders
to economic. Mr.. Mccoy states
that none of the large companies
are buying timber at present, as
money conditions will not permit.
He is optomistic of the future how
ever, and believes that conditions
will resume their normal in a few
months.

President Roosevelt Says That Any DistruSt OF

are solvent. There is more cur
rency in the country today than
there was month ago, when the
supply was ample. Since then
$55, 100000 in gold has been i'm
ported and the government has
deposited already 60,000.0OO.
These are facts; and | appeal to
the public to cooperate with us in
restoring normal conditions. The
government will see that the peo-
pie do not suffer if only the people
themselves will act in a normal
way. Crops are good and business
conditions are sound, and we
should put the money we have in
to circulation at once to meet the
needs of our Astounding prosperity.
"There is no analogy at all
with the way things were in 1898.
On November Both of that year
there was in the treasury but S16l /,
100000 in gold. On November IA
of this year there was in the treas
ury 1904, OOO,OOO In gold. len
years ago the circulation per capita
was $23.23. 1T is now $33.23.
The steps that you now take, the
ability of the government to back
them up, and the fact that not a
particle of risk is involved therein,
give the fullest guarantees of the
sound condition of our people and
the sound conditions of our treas
ury. All that our people have to
do now is to go ahead with their
normal business in a normal
fashion, and the whole difficulty
disappears and this end will be
achieved, if each man will act
as he normally does act, and as
the real condition of the country''
business fully warrants his nov
acting. Sincerely yours,

was to have convened in Standpoint
yesterday. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that Judge Woods will be
able to open court before the mil
die Of next week. 1t will depend
upon the conclusion of the Adams
trial. At any rate, court will not
convere until that case is finished
at Rathdrum.
There will be no grand jury at
this term, but the trial jurors are
now being summoned by Sheriff
Doust and his deputies, and their
orders are to appear on Monday,
December 2.

how absurd it is to permit them

R. H. Mccoy, general manager
of the Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.,
arrived from the East last Monday,
and is here directing arrangements
for operations for the winter. To
a HERALD representative Mr.. Nc
Coy made the statement that
there would be no closing down of
logging camps, owing to the finan-
cial stringency. The output may
be curtailed to some extent, but
there were certain fixed charges to
be met here anyway, and opera
tons would continue. Then
again, should it transpire that
there be speedy disappearance Of
the financial stringency, the output
would not be curtailed. The out.
put of the plant at Boomers Ferry
is only about half what the in.

After leaving Omaha he came back to
Grand Island where he was met by his
father who is so years old, and went out
to visit all the friends and relatives at
the old home. They all showed him a
good time, and when any of them invit
ed him to "take something he replied,

and he would show them the address OF
a firm that furnished him the cure for

they too may become hale, hearty and
handsome.
Mr.. Gray brot back with him two

is Mr.. II. b. Williams of Indian blood
who had grammar in his pocket and
asked what if any privilege a man of

and the desire to get employment oil
