that is rapidly becoming popular, some

In letter to the associations Of
ticer Bishop Schrembs writes:
1T affords me pleasure to express
my appreciation of your efforts to
establish a national highway from
ocean to ocean which will be worthy
of our country. Its use and benefits
will not be restricted to motorists and
consequently it ought to enlist the
active interest of all public spirited
citizens. Other nations have built
wonderful roads for the awful purpos-
es of war; our nations glory merits a
national highway consecrated to peace
and all its blessings"

Many pastors have already an
nOunced their intention to make the
life OF Abraham Lincoln the topic of
their sermons on Sunday, November

general dedication celebration on the
night of October S1st. This celebra-
ton, it is also reported, will not be
confined wholly to the cities, towns
and villages on the route. At many
other points there will be similar eel

parades, band concerts, meetings and
speeches. At Rochester, n. Y, plans
are already under way and the same
report comes from different cities,
both east and west. Along the route
a number Of governors and mayors
have already issued proclamations
calling upon their citizens to rejoice
in the establishment of the route of
the Lincoln highway. Route marking
has progressed rapidly and the pole
marking device is in evidence in ev-
cry state and in a number of cities,
the Omaha Commercial club taking
charge there in marking the thorough
fare which leads through the Nebras-
ka metropolis.

Some of the recent contributions
offered are those of Gov. f. NJ. Am

absence of more than twenty years.

her late mother, Mrs. Ann. E. Whit

handed down by Judge Woodruff. The
remainder of the estate will be divided
equally among her son. Charles F. San
ford Of Nome, Alaska, and her nephew
and niece Roy and Hazel Whitaker Of
Shenandoah, Ia.
Judge woodruffs decision practically
puts an end to litigation extending over
more than two years. An action to de-
clare Mrs Sanford and her son legally
dead was commenced by the Wtttakers
more than two years ago. and until
Mrs. Sanford was located there was
considerable prospect that their appli-
cation would be granted.
After Mrs. Sanford had satisfied the
court as to her identity. the shenan-
doah heirs contended that she was not
entitled to one-half Of the estate. claim
ing that at most she was entitled to
but one fourth. Thereupon Edward F..
Cotter of Nicola, administrator Of the
estate. asked the court to construe
the will.

death being uraemic commissions and
cema. Mr.. Duncombe has been in poor
health for about a year. suffering from

TINS his home. He was educated In

phoid fever. which made severe inroads
on his constitution and from which he
was unable to fully regain his former
good health. In 1887 he bought half
interest In the Chronicle, and was ed
ltor Of this paper until the fall Of 1903,
when he sold his interest to his broth
er, Charles. to assume the management
OF the Duncombe hotel. which he con-
tinued until month ago, when he was
forced to retire on account of i'll health.
Since his retirement from active
duties he appeared to be improving
and all outward signs pointed to q
recovery. when. without warning the
attack Of Sunday morning came, fol-
lowed by his death Monday morning.

wife, Marie. his mother, brother
Charles. and sisters, Mrs. w. 8. Ken

q raid on the board this year and broke
In. having more than sixty delegates
to the state farmers convention.
The first business the convention did
was to re-elect by unanimous vote
Charles E. Cameron, OF Buena Vista

The fight for places on the board was

over e. NJ. Wentworth. Of Marshall.

There were 100 votes cast at the con-
vertion nifty Of the delegates repre-
senting fairs and the others farmers In
stitutes and counties. The vote was
81 for Tibbey to - for Johnston, and

contests were in good nature and
aroused no Ill feeling. The result COM
pletely negatives the assertion made
during the legislature last winter that
