and deprivations Of new country, but
did their part to help build it up TO it's

The deceased united with the Baptist
church at about the age of Ia year,
and lived a consistent Christ life TO
the end OF her earthly pilgrimage
She was devoted, meditative, generous
and large always thinking OF

for herself; and this was Christlike'
She possessed the wifely and mother!y
nature in large meas ure, and exempli-
fed it in her home life in gentieness
and loving kindness. Having lived the
life of the righteous, she died the death
of the righteous. Her affection, which
continued through many years in vary
ing degrees, and which grew rapidly
worse during the last several weeks Of
her life was borne with Christian pat
fence and fortitude. At different times
toward the last, she would call her
family to her bedside and tell them she
wanted to go where pain and suffering
were no more; and while she express
ed a dislike to leave them, yet she was
perfectly resigned to the inevitable
She passed peacefully away after sew
eral weeks intense suffering from an
aff1iction Of the stomach and some
symptoms of pneumonia, asking her
family and friends to meet her in heav-
en-. At the last she seemed to go gent
lY to sleep.
She leaves a husban d, Mr.. David
Bpbst, with whom she walked for a
little more than AZ years, and two

of Guaymas by Mexican federal forces
began with the arrival Of the steam

The first step preliminary to a gener-

the embarking of horses, cattle and
other stock.
Conferences between the federal and
constitutionalist generals at Guaymas
relative to the exchange Of prisoners
were continued throughout the day,
and the negotiations are practically
completed, the federal commander re-
serving the right to certain excep-

draft and drivers, 200 sheep, 250
swine, more than fifty registered Shet-

DRY PLANK BY
IOWA G. 0. P. A
POSSIBILITY

Des Moines, Ia, July 15.-The adop-
ton of dry" plank in the platform
is regarded as the probable outcome
of today's republican state convention.
All the delegates seem to be of the
opinion that some action of "dry"
character is necessary If any action Is
taken, but there probably will be
strong opposition to any stand being
taken at this time. The nomination of
a candidate for state auditor is anoth-
er important issue to come up. Five
candidates were deadlocked in the re-
cent primaries and bitter fight be-
tween the supporters of Frank Shaw,
J. J. Byrnes, John Ford, F. ]. Wall and
Clark B. Ellis is expected.
Promise of a fight over the capital
extension proposition indicates that
an effort may be made to defeat en-
dorsement of the present state admin
istration. .

fore the Carranza government could
be established to maintain order.
1t already has been arranged, 1t
was said, that the troops under Gen
eral Candido Aguilar would be the
first to reach the city His 1000
troops are deployed between Tuxpam
and Orizaba, in the Vera Cruz district,
and it was asserted would be in po-
sition to reach Mexico City within
twelve hours. Aguilar, said to be a
staunch Carranza man, was briga-
dier general of irregular troops, under
President Madero.
Probably the second group of troops
to reach the national capital would be
the army under General Obregon,
which recently took Guadalaj jara.
Obregon's division of cavalry, COM
manded by Gen. Lucio Blanco could
march to the capital within a few
hours.
The division under General Villa,
which has moved north into Chihua-
hua, could not reach Mexico City for
several weeks.
The Villa troops, however, probably
would be one of the strongest forces
employed in case of a final federal
stand at Queretaro, or some other GEN.
trail point north of the capital.

She declared he had shaken chris

Guseva concluded: 81, as a simple

fraud in connection with the Barr &
Widen Mercantile agency, were found
guilty by a jury before Federal Judge
Lands. More than $1,000,000 were
realized by the company through it's
business methods, according to the
government contention. 1t is asserted
that Barr & Widen would learn the
names of creditors of bankrupts, and
then send them letters agreeing to
collect the claims, usually suggesting
that the bankrupt had concealed as
sets. Large fees were received and,
the creditors got little in return. WidZ

business, committed suicide, when the
government began it's investigation.
