est virtues.
Gusutav Huettmann was young
man of good intellect. business abil-
ity, of honesty and integrity. He was
and extraordinary statesmen and was
known to the people of the county as
a kindly and faithful friend. AS a
clerk and proprietor he was always
courteous, reliable and trustworthy.
In his social relations he had scores of
friends. He was one of our most
valiant and fearless firemen. always
prompt. always in the first rank. re-
gardless either of danger or of person
al discomfort.
He was born at Maize. Holstein,
Germany. November 2lst 1875 and
came to America in 1894. He was
first employed as clerk in The Boys
store in Denison. where he was high
lv efficient. For time he had
charge of the branch store at Deloit.
Later he became the right hand man
in the Hub Clothing store under Mr..
E. c. Petersen. Two years ago. to-
gether with his brother who came to
America in 1897, he embarked in bust
ness for himself at the old Hub stand.
The business was successful from the
start and it is to be hoped that it will
be continued. An invoice is now be-
ing taken and definite plans will be
announced later.
The circumstances of Mr.. Huett-
mann death were most sad, and many
of US feel that we have lost a good
friend and are grieved in our hearts
at our loss.

effect that the health OF the Empress

upon the patient.

Riviera met with stern rejection. the en-
press being unwilling to listen to a sug-
gestion the adoption of which would mean
separation from her children. Especially
was this true In the case of the her-ap.
parent. Grand Duke Alexis Nikolaievitch,
for whose safety the empress is SO anxious
that practically she never permits him to
be taken from her sight.
For some time the empress has been
suffering from a slight attack Of infiu-
enza. Previously she had consulted a
specialist and had submitted to a severe
regimen to reduce her weight, and her
present af1iction is ascribed to this.

MARINE CORPS FULL.
Up to It's Complement Of s,7oo En-,
listed Men.


A significant sign Of the times was
the statement of Gen. Elliott, COM
mandant of marines. today to Secretary
Metcaif, that for the first time in many
months the Marine Corps Is now up to
it's full complement of $500 enlisted men.
Even two months ago 1t was hard to find
recruits for the Marine Corps, yet to-
day Gen. Elliott reports that not only
has he secured all the men he wants
and withdrawn from the newspapers ad-
vertisements calling for recruits, but he
is now in a position to pick his men
when there is need for further recruit
ment. OF course the reason assigned for
that state of affairs is the depressed con-
dition of industries resulting in forcing
men to obtaining employment outside Of
the factories, mills and mines. and to
such of these as are not able to perform
sailors duties, yet would make good SOL
diers and desire to see the world. the Ma
rine Corps offers tempting refuge.
