Birthday for
Aged Pioneer
Grandma" Jones of Table Rock Con.
graduated by Community on
Ninetieth Birthday.

TABLE ROCK, Sept II. CSpeciaD-The
ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Margaret Jones
was celebrated here yesterday, by a family
dinner, in which she was joined by a large
number of her children, grand children and
great grand children. In the afternoon
there was a reception attended by a large
part Of the community.
Mrs. Jones was born in 1919 in Camar-
thenshire, Wales, the family name being
Williams. She was welded to David Jones
in lS4S, and in the same year the young
couple sailed for America, being nine
weeks on the ocean. After a short time
they located at Spring Green. Wis, where
many others of the Welsh people had set
tied. In July, 1860 they came 20 Table
Rock, taking a homestead three miles
south of town. They furnished one soldier
boy for a Nebraska regiment in the civil
war. Thirteen sons and daughters were
born to the Jones family, of whom five
are still living. David Jones, the husband,
died here about twenty-five years ago.
The children now living are John S.
Jones of Genessee, Idaho: Albert T. Jones
OF North Loup, Neb.; j. H. Jones and
Mrs. w. II. Harrison OF Grand Island, and
Mrs. NJ. l.. Coard Of Pawnee City.
A feature Of the celebration was a
shower Of birthday cards, over one hun
dred having been received by mail from
distant friends before noon. Special recog-
milton of the birthday of Table Rocks
oldest citizen will be given at the Presby-
terrain church next Sunday, Grandma Jones
being a member Of that congregation.

ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR ESTATE
Wife of Alleged Heir to Tecumseh
Property Appears.

TECUMSEH, Neb., Sept. IL-(SpeciaD-
Another claimant for the estate of John
Wilson and wife, said to be valued at
about $4,000, has made her appearance
in Tecumseh. John Wilson and wife had
a son who ran away from home in his
youth, many years ago. He was his
fathers namesake and for years the aged
couple sought him. A trip was made to
Scotland for this purpose, ard upon the
advice Of a ~spiritualist, another was made
to Alaska. At the latter place Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson thought they found some
trace of the son, though they did not find
him personally.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson died in Te-
cumseh within the past few years and
without having accomplished the one great
desire of their lives, again to see their
son. Mrs. Wilson was the last to depart
this life and her demise occurred about
four years ago. The Wilson's left their
estate to their son, in case he should
claim it within five years. Since tho
death of these old people there nave been
a number Of claimants of the money, hut
none has made good" A nice looking

large enrolment, the enrolment in the
high school alone being 163. The present
teaching force is inadequate to care for
the increased enrolment as most of the
teachers are now working more periods

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE


The 6rst anpual message of Pres
ident Taft was delivered to Con
gress yesterday.
In his message Mr.. Taft reports
the country to be in high state
OF prosperity" and be adds that
there is every reason to believe
that we are on the eve of a substan-
tial business expansien, and we
have just garnered q harvest un.
exampled in the market value of our
agricultural products.
The President expresses entire
confidence that the duty imposed
upon the executive, OF enforcing the
maximum rates of the new tariff
law against nations unduly discrim-
mating against the United States,
will not provoke any tariff tinker
ing at least until the new tariff COM
mission shall have completed its
work of gathering information as to
the relative cost OF producing duti-
able articles in this country aud |
abroad. This task he expects will
occupy two or three years.
