lives in their hands by neglecting the

ternoon at his home south of Almont
The deceased was one of the pioneers
CT Morton county and up till a few
years ago was a resident of this city
His birthplace was Prince Edward
Island, Canada, and at the time of his
death he was about fifty-eight years of

been troubled for some time prior to
his death.
A short time ago he went to Roches-
ter, Minnesota for treatment under
the Doctors Mayo, but they informed
him that they were unable to aid him.
Mr.. Thompson was well known in this
community and the news of his death
was learned with sorrow here. At
the last primary election he was a
candidate for the Office of county COM
missioner and though unable to land
the Office made very creditable show
ing.
He leaves surviving him his widow
and three children to whom is extend
ed the sympathy of friends in thei'
bereavement

Emperor Who Must Die Standing.

emperor VINO MUST Lie Standing.
The emperor Of Austria during his
illness has insisted on transacting state
business as usual, says Tit-Bits. AS
soon as he left the nursery he began a
course of training to fit himself for
tile high position he was to fill. At
sixteen he was an accomplished lin
guist and scientific expert of no
mean degree. He could ride and hunt
with the tireless energy Of a hardy
sportsman, and his studies in litera-
ture and Jurisprudence were conduct
ed under the most celebrated scholars
Of continental Europe. That such a
course Of training did not react upon
his health is doubtless due to his re-
markable memory, which even now is
said to enable him to recall the face of
the humbIest Of his subjects, no mat.
ter how long the lapse of time 1t is a
tradition of the Austrian royal house
that no emperor must die lying down
He must stand up to receive the last
dread messenger.

KENTUCKY NEGROES FOR
TAFT.

Owensboro, KY, Oct. 7.-Within
the next few days two meetings will
be held by the local Negro Repub-
licanS, one in each end of the city,
for the purpose of taking active steps
looking forward to the coming cleo
ton. The inactivity up to this time
in not due to any definite opposition
to Judge Taft, but a lack of organ
izatiOn and the fact that the leaders
have been busy attending conventions
and fraternal gatherings of various
kinds out of town. Now they pur-
pose to get down to solid work and
from today until the election there
will be a Republican revival all along
the line.
To illustrate the strong feeling
among the Negroes in favor of the
national ticket, it is explained that
these meetings are not to be called by
the request of the local or county
chairman, but by the colored votors
themselves, on their own motion and
initiative. They realize the impor-
tance of making the rough prepara-
ton for gallant fight for Taft and
Sherman in November, and they are
determined to leave no stone unturned
to swing the electoral vote of the
state for the Chicago nominees. Com
petent speakers have been invited to
discuss the issues for the benefit of
the voters, some from home, and
others will come from abroad. Editor
R. T. Berry, of the Kentucky Report
er, is taking the lead in this work and
good results may be expected from
such a seasoned veteran. Effective
aid will be rendered by the substan-
tial professional and business men of
Owensboro and. vicinity.
