ARMOUR PREDICTS BIG
REDUCTION In MEATS

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 21.-J.
Ogden Armour, noted as a pow
erful factor in the world of
finance and head of the firm of
Armour & Co., declared today
that there had not only been a
reduction in the price of meats
and other stock yard products,
but that the prevailing tendency
was toward lower level. But
in the expressed opinion of Mr..
Armour the general public
should not be too hasty in reach
ing the conclusion that the skids
have been creased for a coaster
slide from the pinnacle of top
notch prices to the bottom.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Armour
that the descent will be gradual,
and that the level will not be
reached for several months at
least.

OBITUARY

Fannie Hall, daughter of B. F.
and Docia James was born Nov
ember 1883 and died July 1910. =
She leaves a husband and one lit
tie boy, a mother, six brothers
and two sisters and a host of rel
atives and friends to mourn their
loss. While our loss is great it
is her great gain, she has paid
the debt that sooner or later we
will all have to pay, she has gone
on to meet her loved ones who
have gone on before, she has two
children a father and one broth
err who have crossed the river of
death. While it is so sad and
hard for us to give up our loved
ones and so lonely too their places
to be vacant here on earth we
miss their company and sweet
conversation, but Oh. what a
blessed thought that we shall
meet in that blessed beyond
where there will be no more
parting, no tears shed no good
Dyes said, all will be be joy and
happiness when we meet on that
glorifed shore, where our loved
ones are waiting our coming.
Dear friends we cannot mourn
for Fannie as we would for one
that had no hope in Christ, for
she lived a Christian life and left
the brightest evidence that she
has gone on to the better land,
she enjoyed for Christian people
to engage in religions talks and
she would join in with them and
let them know of the great faith
she had in prayer. In her last
days of sickness she wanted the
young people to come and sing
for her, they would meet from
time to time and sing the precious
songs of Zion. She had some
very favorite songs, like: Shall
we meet beyond the river, and
Happy Home and Meet me there
and after her most favorites were
sung she would tell them to select
to suit themselves that they were
all pretty and good. She bore
her sickness with patience, her
last words were-Tm going home
and she fell asleep In Jesus. OH
that all her loved ones when
they come to die. may say as she
did we're going home. May the
Lord be with all mourning ones
is our prayer.

discovery of big, jagged hole in
the bottom of the vessel, the
points of which protrude inward.
Jose Zavaldo, a Cuban electri-
clan at Moro Castle, Col. Brady
said, was the man who turned the
switch causing the explosion of
the mine. Zavaldo was afterward
shot by orders of General Blanco.
He was shot, it is believed, be-
cause the Spanish officers feared
that he would tell the story of
the explosion. 1t is said that the
Investigating officers have discov-
cred records that prove the Cuban
electrician connection with the
affair.
Col. Brady intimated that he

the fact that the government en-
gineers were already working
the vessel preparatory to raising
it.
