CLEVELAND IS DEAD.
Former President Expires Sud-
denly at Princeton, N. ].
HAD BEEN ILL SOME Time
Although Long a Sufferer From Varl-
GUS Complaints the End Came
Unexpectedly.

Princeton, N. j., June 24.-Grover
Cleveland, former president of the
United States, died suddenly at his
home here. Death was due to heart
failure, complicated with other dis
eases. The passing away of MIR. Cleve-
land was not Immediately announced,
but was delayed until an Official state
mont had been prepared by the physi-
clans who had been attending him in
the various periods of his illness. The
statement il as follows:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years had
suffered from repeated attacks of gas
tro-intestinal origin. Also he had long
standing organic disease of the heart
and kidneys. Heart failure, compli-
Gated with pulmonary thrombosis and
oedema, were the immediate cause of
his DEATH"
While Mr.. Cleveland had been seri.
ously i'll from time to time the an
nouncement of his death came like a
thunderbolt to those who had been
watching his illness.
Mrs. Cleveland was at home when
her distinguished husband passed
away. The children are at the Cleve-
land summer home at Tsmworth, N.
H., in charge of Mrs. Perrine, Mrs.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.
Captain OF State University Football
Team Shoots Himself.

Team Shoots Himself.
Ney Dunno, captain of the Univer-
s1ty OF Minnesota football team, shot
himself on one of the main streets of
Jackson, where his parents reside.
The cause of the shooting appears
to be jealousy. Dunno kept company
with a. young lady who refused to at
tend dance with him, preferring the
company of young barber. This, ap-
parently, enraged Dunno, and, walking
with young man friend, he overlook
the girl and her escort, saying that If
the latter would turn around he would
fill him full of lead, not wanting to
shoot man in the back
The barber, not paying attention,
Dunno pulled his revolver and fired at
himself, the shot taking effect under
his heart. He was carried to a ply
sicfan's Office, where the ball was ex-
tracted from his back. Dunno died a
few hours later.
The Dunno family, as we'll as the
young lady's family are highly re-
spected in the community. Dunno was
to have been graduated next year from
the law department of the university.

Cleveland's mother. The Clevelands
came here from Lakewood, where the
former president lay sick for many
weeks, on June 1 and intended to go
to their summer home as soon as Mr..
Cleveland had gained sufficient
strength to travel.
Was Seventy.one Years of Age.
Mr.. Cleveland was seventy.one years
old on March 18 last. During the past
winter he kept close to his home in
Princeton until the approach of his
birthday, when he went to Lakewood
with his family. He was trustee of
the Equitable Life Assurance society
and up to the time of his going to
Lakewood had attended to correspond
ence in connection with his duties for
that society.
After he went to Lakewood, how
ever, he discontinued that work and
it soon developed that Mr.. Cleveland
was suffering from an attack of d.
gestive trouble which he had expert
enced many times before.
Mr.. Cleveland was attended by DR..
Joseph D. Bryant of this city and DIR.
George K. Lockwood, a specialist in
lung disorders, was called into consul
tatfon. DR.. Bryant made frequent WIS.,
its to the distinguished patient at
Lakewood. Mr.. Cleveland occupied a
suite of rooms on the second floor of
the Lakewood hotel at Lakewood and
was constantly attended by DR.. Gau-
denier, the physician attached to the
hotel, in addition to the visits of DR..
Bryant.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland re-
NAMED at the hotel after it had long
been closed to all other guests and
that for many weeks no attempt was
made to take the former president to
his home in Princeton, only a short
distance away, early made it evident
that Mr.. Cleveland's condition was re-
garded as very serious.
Mr.. Cleveland remained at Lake.
wood for several weeks thereafter and
constant reports of improvement in
his condition we're issued from the
hotel. About month ago he had
sufficiently recovered to be taken to
his home in Princeton, making the
Journey In an automobile. e"
Monday it was reported again that
DR.. Bryant had been called to Mr..
Cleveland's home in Princeton. In
Quiries made as to the reason for this
visit brought reassuring answers and

announcement of his death that Mr..
Cleveland's illness had again assumed

The Vitality of an Acorn

Il 1t may be of interest to some
readers of your paper, to know
how long an acorn will retain it's vital
ity and still terminate. About
twenty years ago a relative Of ours
sent us nuts and acorns from Illinois.
One OF the acorns was left in a
bureau drawer until five years ago.
When we came into the Village. it
was thrown into the kitchen ward of
our new home. Two years later We
discovered it had taken root and
after many narrow escapes from the
hoe, is leafing out again, and to ne

Invest Your Money at Home

The United States postal depart
ment is doing all it can to protect the
public against the shrewd specula-
tors who use the mails as medium to
catch suckers. But it seems to be of
little avail. There are always plenty
of people waiting for chance to in
vest their savings in schemes that
haven't the slightest prospects Of
success And the less they know
about it the more willing they are to
part with their money. People of
Worthington would be very much
surprised if they could see list con-
tanning the names of parties from
this city, who have sent their money
to Texas, Mexico, Colorado and a
number of others for investment, and
the amounts individually contrib
uted. 1t runs into many thousands
and mostly made right at home,
The chances are that not one in ten
will ever get cent back from his
nve s m n t. If half of this
money had been put into industrial
enterprises at home this city might
not only have doubled it's population
but good returns OIL the capital in
vested would have been the newt
able result. No community can pros
per unless it's own citizens stand by
it on all OCCASIONS.

Taft and the Platform.


The republican national convention
has come and gone, and nominated
candidates for president and vice.
president and adopted a strong plat
form. The nominee for the presi-
dency is William Howard Taft, who
in Gany respects is the same type
as the man whose administration be
has loyalty served. Like him he
boldly walks in the way he has
chosen for himself, seeking the appro-
val and the suffrages of the people
without apologies-knowing what he
wants and fearing not at all to ask for
it. And the road which he is following
is absolutely one with the upward and
foreward path of the American people.
Mr.. Taft is what he is by racial
and historic necessity. In blood he
comes wholly from the Puritans, by
way of the stony fields of Massachu-
sets, the hills of Vermont and the
westward flowing waters of the Ohio.
Three American centuries, seven gen.
erations, of confident determined as
piring struggle have gone to the ma k
ing of his big frame and his achieving
mentality. The whole epic of the
pioneer, the American economic con-
queror, is in him. To be always on
the spot, to bring things about, to
make good-this faculty is as much
part of him as his keen and friend
ly eye.
Every inch of him he is an assured
man; he is utterly untitled to be
proxy for any one," was said of him
in 1907 by one who is now opposing
him. That is Taft; he is himself,
and he is bone of the bone of Amer
1ca-this strong, clean, buoyant loyal,
faclie leader. Every moment of his
life from the time when the public
schools and the university of Yale
turned him out to be man, has been
a training for the duties he has so
we'll performed and those that are
now before him.
A peacemaker is needed now in
this country, and we shall have one in
Taft as president. A consummate
lawyer, man of judicial and judic.
ious mind and temper, a genial and
broad-minded gentleman. Mr. Taft
if elected, will calm the economic and
class passions and rivalries that now
seem to be swiftly arising and will lead
united advance to prosperity and
peace.
The republican platform for 1908
takes long stride forward on the
progressive lines which now dominant
es the party. 1t is an earnest promise
OF sincere men to continue the policies
of Roosevelt and the voters of the
nation will take the party at it's word.

DECLARATIONS OF LABOR.

The State Federation of Labor held
a three days session at Winona. The
convention declared for the initiative

The prohibition question was dis

clared that whereas sumptuary legis-

many organizations, loyalty affiliated,
the Federation of Labor pledges it's
moral support to affiliated unions in
their efforts to prevent the enactment
of legislation favorable to county op-

Making Matrlmony Pleasant.

At a wedding in Greater New York
the other day the guests engaged In
the usual pleasantly of throwing rice
at the newly married couple upon
their departure. The bride and bride
groom received this invocation to the
goddess OF good fortune In the proper
spirit of appreciation, but unfor-
tunately some OF the rice kernels
lodged in the bridegroom's ear, i'm
mediately causing intense pain, which
increased until It became necessary
for the bridal Journey to be post
poned while the sufferer was given
medical attention. An operation was
performed and te intruding rice was
removed from the mans ear, and then
the tour was started
The bridegroom in this case was
fortunate. He might have been hit in
the head with an old shoe He might
have been star performer In a run
away accident as the horses Of the
bridal chariot became frightened at
the Joyous cheers Of the assembled
ihulNlNuhb VI ~ hhS hOhNihb iibpNAh
fastened to their harness by the
merrymakers. Weddings nowadays
are no light and tame affairs They
have reverted to the ancient type Of
barbaric force and valor, when the
bridegroom won his bride by the exer-
else of the big stick.
As long as the custom of speeding
a bridal couple with ribald cheers and
flying missiles continues accidents will
happen, and bridegrooms viii be in
jured and possibly slain In the melee.
The other day bride was dragged g
square by horses that had been
frightened by a shoe flung at her by
an unskillful hand as she was about
to enter the carriage, This was a trl-
umph OF the Joke matrimonial. And
yet. despite such handicaps, the mar
riage institution is maintained and the
license clerks are kept working over
tinle--Washington Star.
