SUDDEN
Mas the Death of Mrs.
j. n. Kenny Yesterday
About Noon
MANY FRIENDS GRIEvE

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H.
Kenny, at 1918 North Cleveland ave-
nue., was thrown into mourning Mon
day at noon, when Mrs. Kenny de-
parted from life, her death coming
Unexpectedly. While it was known to
Mr. Kenny and his daughter that Mrs.
Kenny was a sufferer from an incur
able disease. her death came as a
great shock to them. The deceased
was taken alarmingly i'll with diabetes
about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and
from that time until death relieved
her she seemed to be growing weaker
sicians did all in their power to re-
store her. AT her bedside we're her
husband and their daughter, Miss
Gladia, who watched the last spark
of life flicker and 60 out.
Mrs. Kenny had been a sufferer
from diabetes for the past five years,
but as she was always cheerful her
many friends never suspected that she
was ailing. Just last Friday even
ing, while seated on the porch at her
home she told a number of friends
that she was planning to go to Cam
bridge Springs Wednesday. of this
week for a little recreation. but she
did not intimate to them that she was
not in the best of health Mrs. Ken
ny was about her home Saturday and
when she retired Saturday night she
seemed to be as we'll as usual.
Mrs. Kenny was born in Geneva,
Ohio, September II, 1868, being almost
45 years of age. Her name before
marriage to Mr.. Kenny was Altha
Lucretia Graves. being the only
daughter of Captain and Mrs. r. r.
Graves, both of whom are dead. The
early years Of her life was spent In
the town of Geneva, but for the past
fifteen years she has been a resident
of Canton. She was married to Mr..
Kenny about 25 years ago. Mrs. Ken
ney was not m> mber of any church,
but she was deeply interested in phil
anthropic work, being a member of
several organizations banded together
for the purpose. She was of an am
liable disposition and her home life
was characterized as an ideal one by
those having the pleasure Of her ac-
quafntance.
The funeral has been arranged for
Wednesday afternoon at z o'clock
from the residence. the services being
in charge of Rev. o. B. Milligan. The
interment will be in Westlawn cem-
etery.

A VISIT TO
BRYAN
Though He is Lined up
With Hearst Movement
Believed He Represents
Independents Favor
able to Bryan and Who
Will Attempt to Force
His Endorsement -
His Endorsement.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-The visit
of Frank G. Monet, formerly Repub-
lican attorney general of Ohio, to
Fairview last night and this morning
was not entirely in the intereSts of
the wool growers of the country Mr..
Monett has been one of the leaders
of the Independence League move
ment and his visit just now on the
eve of the national convention of that
party Is taken here to indicate that
an effort will be made to secure en-
dorsement of the league Of Bryan's
candidacy. Monet said that of the
men prominent in the league, a nun
Der were formerly veIy warm support
ers of Bryan. and while he ventured
no prediction, the fact that he came
here to tell Bryan he was for him and
to confer with him are regarded as
sufficient The gossip here is that
Monett is expected to round up Bry-
an interests in the league into a con-
ference with Bryan in Chicago next
Sunday. All that Monet would say
was that Mr.. Bryan was very anxious
that the leaders in Ohio should lay
aside all personal differences and turn
in to help elect the ticket. which he
considers has more than a fighting
chance in Taft's state.
Mr. Bryans appeal to the farmers
for funds to help out has already met
with a dozen or more responses, the
donations ranging from IS to $50. Mr..
Bryan is getting real encouraged over
the idea of securing campaign fund
from the masses.
He impresses on every Democrat
caller the necessity of getting out
when he goes back home and collect
ing money for the fund. He told one
man that with over six million Dem
ocrats in the country, there ought not
to be any trouble about getting suf-
ficient money for all legitimate pur-
poses.
Mr.. Bryan said that he did not un-
derstand that congress passed laws
prohibiting corporations from con-
tributing. His information was that
this bill, which in his opinion was but
halfway measure. was Intentionally
killed In the senate by the putting on
Of that rider intended to reduce south
ern representation In congress.
The identity of the man who is to
lead the Democratic hosts has not
been made known. Bryan is in con-
stant communication with Kern and
members of the national committee
and tits regarded here as safe wager
that no selection has been yet defin-
itely made.
George Fred Williams, of Dedham
Mass, is spending the evening at the
Bryan home. Mr.. Williams says his
visit is mot primarily a political one
but it is understood his advice as to
the chairman is much desired.

RUMORED REVIVAL Of
DEMOCRATIC WEEKLY

According to rumor, the County
Beacon is to be relit after New YeaE S
and made to beam in the community
in the Democratic cause. The editor,
according to the same rumor, is to be
Charles L. Rhodes, who viii be at the
same time the secretary of Mayor
Fern, combining in this way business
with pleasure.
Ever since the Beacon's glimmering
died out year ago, the local Democ-
racy has been without an English jour
nal all of its own. This, when there
will be public printing to do in the
way of advertisements and news
scoops to be landed from friends in
high Office, is an unthinkable position
to be in, and the proper steps are to
be taken to get out of it.
AS a starter the doctrines of pure
Democracy are to be handed out in the
tabloid form Of weekly; later on
there may be further developments.
