LITTLE MIRIAM.
Infant DAUGHTER OF MT. and Hrs. R. E.
Dunn Passes AWay.


wake she has left many bleeding
hearts and sorrowing loved ones
Her span of life was short, but oh
SO sweet She was the daughter o1
Mr.. and Mrs. R. G.. Dunn and was
not quite twelve months old, and
yet that sweet little tongue had
learned to prattle "Mama and Papa
a her own Individual way. She was
the Towns baby, for nearly every
one knew and loved her. s e had a
bright smile and a cute little wave
of the hands for every one. She was
loved and petted by so many that
she cid not know what fear was.
Her mind was unusually developed
and her little form was perfect. She
had never been sick and did not
know what suffering and pain was,
until Friday, May the twentieth, and
from that time until her little spirit
was waited safely into the great be-
yond, she fought her first and last
battle bravely, but the oGds were
against her from the beginning, and
despite the faithful and loving efforts
of mother, father, nurse, ard
physicians, who never left her bed
side, the Dread Messengers call
could not be staid. All that mortal
hands could do for her was done, but
in vain, and so at five thirty Monday
morning, May the thirtieth, just as
a new day was dawning over the
earth, she fell asleep, only to awake,
safe in the arms of Jesus" in a
new world. She passed over the
river so quietly that mother and
father and doctor who were holding
her little hands could hardly tell the
exact moment when the end came,
she just stopped breathing, without
sigh or struggle, and it was all
over.
When she was arranged On her
little bed surrounded by profusion
of the most beautiful flowers, that
seemed to spring up from every
where, she looked like a beautiful
wax doll, so quiet, so peaceful. She
was laid away in Ei:ilwooo Cemetery
with the beautiful services of the
Episcopal Church. The services
were conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Phelps assisted by the Rev. Mr. Britt,
pastor of the Baptist Church.
There is little consolation that we
can offer to those many loved ones
she has left behind. Sometime some
where we may understand hut not
now. In little while we too shall
"join the innumerable caravan, that
moves to that mysterious realm
and so it behooves US to bear our
burdens bravely and to not unjustly
blame a loving Providence.

One of Lifc's Tragedies.

One of Lifc's Tragedies.
While Mayor Gaynor. who was shot
in the neck by dastardly assassin just
as he was about to board the steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, is now re-
covering and will be as good as new,
one of his friends has gone over the
divide President Pedro Montt, Of
Chile. who was with Mayor Gaynor and
was conversing with him quite gaily at
the time the assassin arrived and the
two distinguished gentlemen were in
tending to cross the ocean together.
The Chilean President, accompanied by
suite of officials. Witnessed the shoot
ing. having just been invited by Mayor
Gaynor to stand at his side for the
phOtogra piers to get a snapshot. 1t
was thus that it happened the photos-
raphers got a picture of Mayor Gaynor
as he fell. President Montt was ac-
companied by DR.. Montana. his physi-
clan, and altho greatly shocked by the
attempts on Mayor Gaynors life, he
had presence of mind to call to DIR.
Montana to go at once to his side, and
it was from the Chilean physician that
Mayor GaynOr received the first aid
What seemed to he a tragedy for Mayor
Gaynor has turned out to be one of the
passing incidents of the life of a man
before the public. but the shock of the
shooting killed President Montt, it is
thought. His heart was not strong, ana
he WAS much overcome by the attack
and. as he presumed. death of Mayor
Gaynor. He landed in Bremen on the
morning of Aug. l6, and at 1850 was
dead. He had previously had an at
tack of angina pectoris, and was very
much weakened by it, anyhow. Presi-
dent Montt was a gentleman who pos
scsSed the confidence of everyone, espe-
cialiy those high in authority. and his
sudden death is mourned by all. Presi-
dent Taft sent a letter of coincidence to

secretary WILSON'S Birthday.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. the
long g-distance record holder in point of
service in a Presidential Cabinet and
the oldest Cabinet officer of the present
Administration, celebrated the 18th an
niversary OF his birth on his farm at
Traer, Iowa. Aug. 16. The officials Of
the Agricultural Department joined in
sending telegram of cOngratulation to
their beloved head. There has been
more or less talk about Secretary Will
sons resigning, being dismissed, being
asked to resign or resigning on his own
accord. In all proba bility there is no
truth in any OF them, and there is one
little reason that is paramount. No
matter how good a record Secretary
Wilson may make anywhere, he can
never be President so Jealous souls
who have Presidential aspirations them
selves may move to make attacks upon
him or to demand that he shall be re-
tired lest he make a reputation which
would practically force him to the
Presidency.
Secretary Wilson was born in AYR
shire, Scotland, Aug. l6. 1888, and came
to the United States in 1852 He lived
in Connecticut for three years, and
moved to Iowa in 1855. He began life
