1903, and died Oct. 9. 1903. She il
survived by a kind father and mothe
and by two sisters and four brothers
She was laid to rest beside her littl,
sisters in st. Mary's Cemetery a
Lourdes.
You have gone from US Stella, darling,
We will miss you, our dear loved one;
We will miss you everywhere;
And our hearts are sad and lonely
AS wegaze upon your vacant chair.
We could hear the Angels calling
From us our own dear darling,
While our sad tears they were falling.
They folded her hands SO cold and white
And closed her blue eyes tight,
Then laid her in her casket white.
AS we stood around her weeping,
We could say our darling is but sleeping,
But God knows what is best
And our loved one is at rest.

Mr.. Dunn's remarks on the tariff
were necessarily brief, but touched
upon the tariff mainly as it affected
the farmer. Steel rails made at Halle
ton, Pa, were laid last year on road
in the United States, to the coast, at
a cost of $28 per ton Rails from the
same mills laid on a parallel road in
Canada, cost $40 per ton. And this in
creased cost of the United States road
means higher rates with which to pay
dividends. AS to the charge that a
lower tariff would result in low prices
for farm products, Mr.. Dunn stated
that we are nation of exporters, not
importers, and that the prices of our
products are fixed by competition in
the markets of Europe with the pro
ducts of Canada, Russia, Australia, and
South America that he knew it be-
cause he annually shipped thousands OF
bushels of grain to Europe direct. To
the argument that tariff wall keeps
up the price of grain. he said that he

This has been a busy day for the
republican leaders of Mesa county.
Two big attractions were sched-
uled for today-the republican coup-
ty convention this afternoon and the
banquet tonight at the Park opera
house. Many political leaders from
various sections of the county were
in town this morning comforting with
the Grand Junction leaders.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this after
noon County Chairman John b.
Mann called to order the convention
the first convention to be held by
any party in this county this year.
There were a goodly number of del
egates and party leaders in attend
ance, although many delegates were
represented by proxies. The conven-
ton was held i'm the county court
room.
The convention is composed of
204 delegate votes. The convention
was called for the purpose of elect
ing 16 delegates to the state con-
vention, which meets in Pueblo, APP
ril 2S. for the purpose of electing
delegates to the national convention,
and also to elect county delegates
to the End district congressional con-
vention.
1t had been planned tndL the hon.
Asa b. Hoyt should be chairman of
the convention and that Charles e.
Cherrington should be selected as
secretary 1t is said that the secre-
taryship was thrown to Cherrington
in an effort to please the law and
order element of the party.
The convention was long time
in opening. The court room was well
filled by O'Clock, but there was a
hitch somewhere and it was 2:35 be-
fore the convention opened. Then
Hoyt was elected chairman and, on
taking his seat, made a really pa
thetic speech regarding the harmony
prevailing here and the failure of
"any gang, clique or bunch getting
wedge into this republican con-
vention.' (Several winks were seen
Just here.) He declared that every
thing looked fine, and he only hoped
the boys would stay together and
wipe "our friend, the enemy, off the
track this fall" Somehow. the ap-
plause that greeted Hoyts remarks
was not deafening.
Mr.. Cherrington, on being chosen
secretary, was not called upon for a
speech.

charged, were swept away again to-

is holding the prices up to suit it
