borough at IL o'clock Friday night,
May 81. says the Belle PLANE Herald
Of June 6. The announcement of the
death of this highly citizen
was received with general feelings of
deep regret, though the end was not
unexpected. Months ago cerebral
troubles became pronounced, and
though treated by the most skilled spe.
cialists in the west, the disease proved
to be of so complex a nature that no
permanent relief could be effected. He
died at the age Of 43 years. Mr.. Foley
was born and reared on the farm in
Carver county. He was ambitious and
energetic. and early laid his plans for
a high career. He secured a collegiate
education at the University OF Mime
sofa, and later attended a law school
the bar. Shortly after he was mar
ried here to Miss Mary Stratton. The
young couple moved to Fulda. and
there Mr.. Foley built up an admira BILE
practice. and enjoyed the respect Of
his fellowmen to AN exceptional de-
gree. With beautiful home and a
happy home life and successful in
business. he possessed all that is de-
sirable in life, and in the midst Of
these his days were cut short. During
the early part Of the spring he re-
turned to Belle Plaine with his wife
and child to await the end In Belle
PLANE and the parishes across the
river from here. where he spent his
hoyhood. he was known to ALL He was
q man of fine character and Justly es-
teemed. He was a member of the
Modern Woodmen and Yeoman socie-
ties.

third of their notably successful sum
ner season. in new play of the south
west by Oliver Morosco and Harry D..
Cottrell, 1.-THE Judge and the Jury"
The play has had great success in the
west, and bids fair to be one of the
many dramas that are tried out and
pronounced good outside of New York,
and then into the metropolis for a
successful run. Mr.. Ferris, with char
acteristic enterprise, secured the rights
os the play while in Los Angeles, while
he was arranging to give his many
Minneapolis friends the best that he
could find during the summer The
story is that Of life in New Mexico in

The observance Of Memorial day by

a. most eloquent testimonial to the gen.
uine patriotism of our American citi-
zens. In commemorating the great
achievements Of our departed heroes
who gave their lives that the republic
might live we honor ourselves as we'll
as them. A proper appreciation Of
their patriotic service cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the minds and
hearts of our youth. The memory Of
our veterans who saved our nation ID
as beautiful and fragrant as the now-
ers with which loving hands through.
out our land have this day decorated
their graves. Blessed, indeed, is the
land Of Washington, Lincoln, Sheridan

in this that true patriotism exists ~
the heart of the native and foreien.i

there has been much interest in the
question as to who is really entitled to
the reward and Mayor j. G. Haynes

right thing, and say they are willing to
