FORMER RESIDENT,
IS DEAD At Triton

Relatives and friends in Americas
received this morning the sad intelli-
gence of the death of Mr.. James W.
Osborne, who passed away very sud
denly yesterday evening at Triton,
whittier the family had removed re-
Gently. The announcement of the
death of MIR. Osborne is deeply deplor-
ed in Americas, where he formerly re-
sided, and was engaged in the sale of
farm machinery on Forsyth street
Throughout this section of the state
he was very well known and greatly
esteemed among very wide circle of
friends.
From meagre details of his death, it
seems that he had been out upon his
farm near Triton and, upon returning
to the hotel, where the family resided
he complained of feeling unwell and
went to his room, expiring in a short
while. Mr.. Osborne was about forty
five years Of age, a genial gentleman
and generally esteemed. The funeral
services will take place tbs afternoon
in Albany, formerly his home. Mr.. Os-
borne is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Bacon, and a sister of Mrs.
E. D. Sheffield of Americus; a son and
two young daughters.

Representative Gardner, has mot
quit his efforts toward the appoint
ment of a special committee of the
House to investigate the military and
naval position of the United States
to learn about the preparation for
war. Mr., Gardner Insists that the
country is at the mercy of any first
class European power. While it is
not considered likely in Washington
that the House will name the COM
mittee, regular committees, spurred
on by the agitation he has brought
about, have already begun an investi-
cation. In many parts of the coun-
try security leagues have been formed
to urge congress to create a larger
navy and army.

That the railroad will see the folly

the working force there until they
have complied with their contract, is
the belief of the members of the

road and make Americas its best Gus

with their written contract and their
gentlemen agreements with the city
But in case they think they can run

the committee after the meeting.

"What Will They Take Next2" l.
the Single Query at the
Fourth.

- Az around the fourth precinct the po-
hcemen are asking one another a single
question. The question is:
What will they take next?
The desk sergeant thinks it will be the
captains hat. The captain thinks 1t will
be the desk sergeants book. in which the
record of arrests are kept. The police
themselves suspect that It will be the
: precinct detective. They think he will
be kidnapped la Charley Ross, and held
for ransom.
: The situation was bad enough a month
ago. when the garden hose was sneaked
by some lurking adventurer. Ever since
: the hose was taken the police have been
looking for it-and that is about all they
have had a chance to do.
Woke Up to Find Watch Gone.
- The other day Policeman Henry Tur-
ner laid down for a short nap. When
he woke up his watch was gone. It had
been removed from his upper trousers
pocket. He arose.
This is not the life said Policeman
Turner. and reported the matter to the
captain.
When you find the garden hose" said
the captain. maybe we will consider the
possibilities. If We are going to lose
everything in this precinct. precedence
must rule
:. Policeman Turner went to headquarters
and in simple but effective language made
it clear to the authorities there that he
wanted his watch back. and wanted Pro-
crastination-that is. the thief OF time
arrested within a short time.
Hose Reference Banishes Hope.
How did he get your watch" they
asked him.
DO you think I'm awake when I'm
asleep" demanded Policeman Turner. In

No" they said. softly. I'VE think you
are asleep when you're awake
Now look her. began Policeman
Turner.
Have you ever hunted for that garden
hose" they taunted him.
Policeman Turner ceased to argue. His
heart was broken. He turned away.
There are a number Of valuable things
In and around the fourth precinct. Capt.
Williams flowers are the pride OF the
community. There is a fine old watch
which keeps perfect time. There is-but

The members of the precinct became
thoughtful. They have an antipathy for

their constitutional opposition to the H.
