REUBEN S. WHIPPLE.

Sunday evening, about 8 o'clock,
Reuben S. Whipple of this city was
called from his family by the angel
of death. He had been ailing for
more than year past, an affection
Of the heart rendering his hold upon
life more or less uncertain. The
direct cause of death was probably
the after effects of an attack of la
grippe with pneumonia symptoms.
The funeral is to be held this after
noon from the family residence on
Wyoming street, under the auspices
of the Ode Fellows of this city, the
service being conducted by Rev. Du-
bois, pastor of the M. E. church of
this city, with which Mr.. Whipple
has been associated for many years.
Reuben S. Whipple was born IN
1884 at Westville, Franklin county,
New York, the family subsequently
removing to Newport, N. H., where
Mr.. Whlpple remained until in his
22d year he went west to the Black
Hills, where he saw the wild west at
its widest. About thirty years ago
he came to Minnesota, settling in
Lone Tree Lake, Brown county.
About ten years later he became a
resident of this city, and the next
year returned to his New England
home and was welded to Mrs. Hub
bard, Who survives him. A sister
at Newport, N. H.. and his step
children, Frank Hubbard and Mrs.
Martin, are the other living relatives.
Mr.. Whipple has been afflicted with
deafness for several years, which
has interfered with his social en-
joyment and made him appear a
somewhat reticent man. but those
who knew him best appreciated his
integrity of character and natural
kindness of heart.

DEATHS HARVEST.
R. S. Whipple. of This City, Isaac John
son and Mrs. Mann Gathered In.
ISAAC JOHNSON.

The death angel has claimed three
old residents of this vicinity recent
ly, all dying within few hours of
each other.
In point of years. the first to be
chronicled is that of Isaac Johnson,
resident of Redwood county for
nearly forty years, whose death oc-
Cured at the home of his youngest
daughter, at Albert Lea last Monday.
Up to last July Mr.. Johnson had
made his home most of the time for
the last seven years with Mrs. David
Alexander, his daughter, in this city.
About a year ago he suffered a
Slight paralytic stroke, dating from
which time he never enjoved the
same measure of health which had
been his good fortune to possess
during most of his life time. After
visiting his daughter at Albert Lea
for some weeks, he made date for
his return to this city. but owing to
illness deferred it. Two weeks ago
a final stroke visited him, ending
last Sunday with his death as above
noted.
Isaac Johnson was born in Eng
lam in 1925, and while young re-
moved with his family to Huron
county, Canada. In 1869 he came
to Redwood county with his young
family, living in Redwood Falls I'M
til the following summer, when they
removed to Sheridan township,
where Mr.. johnson acquired a half
section farm which he improved and
occupied until advancing years
prompted HIM to return to Redwood
Falls and purchase pleasant home
for himself and wife on the outskirts
of the city. Mrs. Johnson died here
more than ten years ago, and since
that time the widowed husband has
been dividing his time with his sons
and daughters, of whom nine are
still living. Of the four sons, Jonas
and William have built up homes in
far Washington, while James still
lives in Sheridan and Thomas in this
city. Four of the daughters are
residents OF this county Mrs. John
Longbottom, Mrs. David Alexander,
Mrs. Frank Barnum and Mrs. James
Garner. Mrs. Eugene Palmer of
Albert Lea was the only near rela-
tive to minister to Mr.. johnson in
his final illness, and will probably be
here today unless prevented by i'll
ness, in company with James John
son of Seaforth. who went to Albert
Lea to bring home the remains for
burial. The funeral will be held
from the Christian church today. at

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS WEALTH.
Tax Levy Statement Shows Who Pays
the COunty's Expenses.

The annual statement of the coun-
ty auditor, showing the tax levy for
the different taxation sprecincts of
Redwood county, contains a number
of features which will be of interest
to the tax payers of this county.
Of course the chief asset of Red
wood county is it's 547, 1863 acres Of
fertile land, which,: is assessed at an
average valuation Of S14.84, making
a total assessed value of $8,105, 946
for the county. Everyone knows
this valuation is less than half the
actual value, and it might be Of
interest to knowsa that the different
townships have somewhat arbitrar-
ily listed their lands at valuations
which do not seem to be justified by
actual market conditions. Thus
Waterbury and Morgan lands have
a larger assessed valuation than
lands around Redwood Falls and
Lamberton, Morgan having an aver
age land valuation of S16.04 and Wat
erbury Of $15.45.
The town and city property OF the
county is valued as follows:

I am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Member of Congress
before the Primaries to be held on the
oath day of June next, and earnestly
solicit your support. !
I believe in the repeal of the tariff
on lumber and in a general revision of
the tariff schedules. Am in favor of a
national grain inspection law and in
the general policies which have been
advocated by President Roosevelt. I
have lived in the State of North
Dakota for over twenty-six years and
have a thorough knowledge of the
needs of our people.
Should I be nominated and elected,
I will use my best efforts for the best
interests of all of the people and all
parts of the State.

The following appears in the
Wahpeton Globe of a recent date:
A prominent member of the
insurgent or progressive wing of
the republican party in this
county said to a Globe Gazette
man a day or two ago.: Il think
the insurgent wave is practically
over, especially is this true in
our county. Some democratic
leaders are patting US or the back
expecting to get support from us
for their nominees again, but I
don't see that there is any gain
by cutting off your finger just
because there is a sore on it.
One reason for the insurgents
not being as strong and enthu
siastic as they were is the atti-
tude taken by those who we're
supposed to be leaders at the
Grand Forks convention. It was
very evident at that convention
that for every one who was there
for an honest and sincere pur-
pose there were five who came to
build political fences and get an
Office themselves. T. Marshall,
who has always been with the old
machine, was there and was so
anxious to get on what he be-
lieved would be a new band
wagon that he knocked several of
the insurgents down in the race
for it.
"Senatsr Hansbrough is MAX
ing a grand stand play to the
people now about the Internal
ional Harvester trust, expecting
to gain a few votes by it. He
also tried to make a splurge with
the Society of Equity to get a
stand in with them and now he
is trying to get insurgent sup
port by shouting Mckenzie is
against him.
Our fight has been for a state
wide primary law and against
Mckenzie in the national COM
mittee, and a one man rule,
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-04-16
whether it be Mckenzie or any

whether it be Mckenzie or any
any other man.
Our purpose primarily was
just and sincere, but when all
the out casts, soreheads and
chronic Office seekers jump into
the insurgent ranks for the Spur-
pose of feathering their own
nests, I want to be excused as [
am neither a sorehead nor seek
ing an Office"
