and received into membership in the
Baptist church in which denomination
her parents and most of the older rela-
tives had been members for many
years. She was one who had great
respect for all Christian organizations.
She had much sympathy and love for
the Catholics, and read much relating
to the Jewish people of to-day.
When Mrs. Sanborn was taken sick
on Dec. 18th last, one of her sisters
was still living but died Dec. 18th at
the age of SO years. This sister and
her family had been.neighbors to the
deceased in Canada and in Wisconsin.
Mrs. Sanborn died at the home of
her son, Harley Sanborn, Monday at
800 a. M, Dec. 80, 1907, at the age of
81 years, 6 months and Is days.
In later years, although afflicted by
the loss of her hearing, she made much
of reading and her interest in every
thing about her did not abate but con-
tinued to the last. She was blessing
to the home, to the children who so
tenderly cared for her, and to the
entire community.
Mrs. Sanborn's departure means the
loss of good woman but the influence
of the mature Christian character lives
on in our midst.
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
E. A. Lang were held in the Methodist
Episcopal church at Lime Springs, Ia,
New Years day at 2:30 o'clock.

merchants of Los Angeles to secure
lower rates into the San Joaquin val

especially the utterances of the organ OF
the imperial chancellor. Prince Won Bue-

of the Franco-Spanish note regarding Mo-
rocco, has revived uneasiness here.

Of Ell Menebhi, former Moroccan minister

acute international complication Is feared.
French official circles. however. remain
calm and it is there announced that
France conscious that she is right, intends
to pursue her policy as already outlined.
The French press is displaying. day by
day more irritation, which has been in
creased by the expulsion yesterday OF

chamber of deputies from the German
maneuver grounds in Alsace-Lorraine.
Furthermore, the report received yes
terday that Emperor William intends to
cross the French frontier at. Alsace-Lor
raine to view the landscape from the top
of a mountain in France furnishes fresh
occasion for the more sensationals to cry,
''provocation.' La Patrie says:
The presence of Emperor William on
French soil at the same moment that a
French deputy is driven from the annexed
territory looks like defiance and bravado. -
