THE WEEKS DEATHS
Mrs. A. D. Jesmer of Park Rapids
Formerly of Princeton, Dies In
minneapolis Hospital.
rlrs. Sidney K. Jones Passes AWAY at
the Home of Her Parents in
Village of Princeton.

Mrs. A. D. Jesmer of Park RAPIDS
died on Friday, October 6, at St..
Mary's hospital, Minneapolis, where
she was taken about a month previous
for medical treatment. The cause of
her death was attributed to penn
phlgus, a malady which is very un-
common. She was first taken sick on
June 5 and gradually grew worse not
withstanding the fact that several of
the very best physicians we're con-
suited. Her sufferings were intense
but she bore them to the end without
complaint.
The remains we're brought to
Princeton and from here conveyed to
Greenbush, Mrs. Jesmer's old home.
where services were conducted in the
Catholic church on Monday morning
by Rev. Father Levings, and the in
terment was in the Greenbush Catho-
lie cemetery. The funeral was at
tended by large number of friends
and relatives and the floral offerings
we're beautiful and profuse, showing
the high esteem in which the good
woman was held. -
Mrs. A. D. Jesmer, whose maiden
name was Juliann Robideau, was
born in Franklin county, New York,
on May 26, 1S4S. She came to Mime
sofa in 1865, with her parents, and first
settled in St. Paul, where she re-
malned two years, when the family
moved to Princeton. Shortly after
she went to Greenbush, where her
father took up claim, to reside. On
September 8, 1868, she was married to
A. D. Jesmer by Rev. Father Murray
OF Dayton at the home of William
Carmody in Princeton. With her
husband she resided in Greenbush
until 1882, then moved to Foreston
and lived there until 1895; when she
and her husband took up their abode
at Park Rapids. She is survived by
an aged mother, Mrs. Catherine Robi-
deau. Deer Park, WASH; three
brothers, Louis Robideau, Green
bush; Joseph Robideau, Deer Park,
| WASH; and Henry Robideau, Elk,
WASH: Peter Robideau, Deer Park,
WASH; and two sisters, Mrs. E. E..
Whitney, Seattle, WASH; and Mrs.
Caleb Crook, Deer Park, Wash.
Among the relatives and friends
who attended the funeral from out of
town were Mrs. Gakski, Mrs. Aslin
and Mrs. Craig, Minneapolis; Mrs.
Davey, Chicago; F. T. P. Neumann
and wife, Mr.. Lemay and Mrs. Frank
Judkins, Foreston.
Mrs. Jesmer was one of the kindest
women who ever lived-a woman
whom to know was to love and
respect. She was a christian in the
true meaning of the word, ever ready
to assist her neighbors in the time of
trouble-to help the needy and CON-
fort the sick. While her taking awav
has caused much sorrow to her rela-
tives and dear friends, they know
that she has gone to a home where
suffering abideth not.

Following severe illness of seven
months duration, Mrs. Sidney R.
Jones passed away at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. D. Starff, ia
this village on Thursday, October 5,
aged "a years. Death was due to
tuberculosis.
On Sunday afternoon at the Con-
gregational church Rev. Fisher con-
Quoted the funeral services, and the
edifice was packed with friends of the
young woman who came to pay their
last tribute of respect to her memory.
The sermon was an impressive one
and the Congregational choir
rendered beautiful hymnal selections
during the service. Upon the casket
we're arranged many pretty floral
tributes, the offerings of loving rela-
tives and friends. The interment was
in Oak Knoll cemetery and the men,
bers of the Yeoman lodge, to which
she belonged, followed her remains in
body to their last resting place.
The pallbearers we're members OF the
K. P. lodge. Among those in at
tendance at the funeral was Mrs. J.
L. Culver of Vinton, Iowa.
Mrs. Sidney R. Jones, whose
maiden name was Laura V. Starff.
was born at Vinton, Benton county
Iowa, on August s, 1887, and came

spring of 1901. On June l6, 1907, she
was married to Sidney R. Jones.

There May be a Third Candidate
for Governor
KITCH|A WING
In View of the Fact That Locke
Craig and Simmons Are Close
Political Friends, Kitchin support
ers Are Agitating the Candidacy Of
Some Friend OF the Governor.

Raleigh, July 17.-About the lat
est and most discussed political de-
yelopment here is what is believed to
be a strong indication that the
gubernatorial contest for the nomi-
nation in 1912 is being drawn into
the senatorial fight in so far as the
contest between Senator Simmons
and Governor Kitchin is concerned
and that there may yet be a third
candidate for governor in the field
one to represent the Kitchin element
Of the party.
Ever since the Charlotte conven-
tion in which Kitchin won the nomi.
nation for governor over Locke Craig
there have been many who insists
that the 1912 nomination for COVER
nor is the due of Mr.. Craig and that
there is really a party obligation
growing out of that contest, to give
him the next nomination. For sew.
eral months Lieutenant Governor w
C. Newland has been an ayowed
candidate for governor. Neithes OF
them have special political alliance
with Governor Kitchin and Mr. Craig
and Senator Simmons have been
closely allied.
This is giving rise, now that the
fight is drawing up so sharply be
tween Senator Simmons and Cover
nor Kitchin, to disposition on th,
part of some of Kitchin's friends L
agitate the question of making Z
fight on the nomination of Mr.. Craig
lest his influence, made more power
full nv the nomination for governor
| be used in the senatorial cam7aign
between the July convention and thu
vote in the senatorial primary in thu
fall, for the furthcrance Of Simmons
interest.
