O'DONOGHUE FOR COUNTY COR.

ON Elk.
The name of William O'Donoghue,
one of our East Side undertakers, has
been presented as a candidate for
county coroner, subject to the primar-
les June 1st. Mr.. O'Donoghue is a
Polk county boy, born in this county
in 1875, and his name is probably
heard more frequently than that Of
any other candidate-and deservedly
so. Mr.. O'Donoghue has made sue
cess in his chosen line of work-un-
dertaking-and has thereby gained a
good name in business circles. He
has proven a good mixer, in general,
and has thereby made large circle
Of acquaintance. He was painstak-
ing, careful official while working in
the ranks of organized labor and
thereby earned the confidence and re-
spect of the labor movement. This
makes q trio of resources which in
themselves should assure the success
of any candidacy and it is the hope of
his friends that VIM. O'Donoghue
will receive the nomination for cor
oner on the republican ticket June LIST.

Strain Caused Breakdown.
The strain of her duties as mistress
of the White House and her own un-
firing efforts to help many an un-
known and friendless person who has
appealed to her are said to be directly
responsible for her breakdown. Mrs.
Wilson received many delegations
which her husband was too busy to
see. Her mail has been voluminous,
and she has insisted on attending in
person to many appeals for help that
came to her. She has been particular
ly active since coming to Washington
in bettering conditions in the slums
and securing improvement in alley
conditions
Throughout the administration of
her husband she has taken the same
keen interest in his work that she did
in previous years when he was Gov
ernor of New Jersey and president of
Princeton. She has lent her counsel
and advice on many a weishty subject
of state.

dents cousin, who has been living In the

planned for the south front of the ex-

a boy playing a flute was placed, at
her direction, in the gardens near the
executive offices. With her taste for
the artistic, developed in many years
of landscape painting, she had prac-
tically rearranged the gardening of
the White House in symmetry of
hedges and flowers.
Refused to Leave Husband.
With her apparent recovery, the
President urged that his wife go to a
cooler climate. The heat of Wash
ington was particularly oppressive, but
she steadfastly declined to leave her
husband. She took an active interest
in the contest over the confirmation
of Thomas D. Jones as a member of
the federal reserve board, and called
for mary a document on congressional
affairs.
The relapse came last week, and since
then she has been sinking rapidly.
Tuesday her pulse stopped beating for
a few minutes, and oxygen and other re-
storatives were supplied. Early yester-
day she seemed somewhat better, but
last evening she again grew worse.

her deep interest in the poor children o.

also in her attention to the library fol

has frequently sung and her mother has
been a frequent visitor.
While the campaign for the elimina'
