Service Is Simple

The service was simple and brief, in
complete accordance with the ex-
pressed wish of Mrs Stevens This
formed, in very consistent way, her
own last tribute to her State, while
indicating also her natural love for
the out of doors and the woods, to
which she would not infrequently re-
fer in conversation with friends dur
ing her lifetime.
Floral Tributes
While Mrs. Stevens had indicated
her wish that floral tributes from
friends in general be omitted, and an
nouncement of this had been made,
the love and devotion of numerous
friends expressed itself In a desire to
send some form of floral tribute. Sew
eral tributes of this nature came from
friends living at distant points from
Portland, while nearer home there
We're several who made urgent re-
quests that they be permitted to send
some tribute of a visible form. In
view of the regard thus shown those
in position to grant the request made
the provision that whatever be sent
be in the form of small growing spring
plants, which afterwards could be
passed on to comfort and bless 9TH
ers.
The casket reposed in one corner of
the parlor. which was banked with
pine. On the casket was pine Dough

CONFIRMATION
OF M'NALLY AS
CONSUL LOST
BY TWO VOTES

Washington, April S.-President
Wilson'S nomination of James C. Nc
Nally of Pennsylvania to be consul at
Nuremberg, Bavaria, was refused con-
firmation in the Senate today by a
vote of &c to "a, after a prolonged de-
bate.
McNally formerly was in the con-
sular service in China and several
years ago charges were made against
him in connection with a real estate
deal promoted there by an American.
The case was twice investigated, but
when McNally's nomination to the
Nuremberg post came in, Senator Will
liams objected on the ground that
these inquiries had not served to clear
him entirely.
This was the first of President Will
sons consular appointments to be re-
jected by the Senate.

Young Men are Here

A striking feature of this gathering
impressed itself upon the onlookers
that the majority of the men who came
to frame the Republican bylaws of
the year are men who have not yet
reached the meridian of life. Upon
these young professional and business
men who have had the advantages of
education and training that their faith
ers had not, the older men of the par
ty look with confidence and pride, and
gladly hand over the reins to more
skilful and p-to- date hands.
One veteran with white hair and
STOPPING shoulders, who said that he
had attended every Republican State
convention with one exception for 40
years, said to the Journal man: These
boys look good to me-" The same SEN
timent was expressed by others who
have been largely instrumental in
directing Republican affairs in the
State for many years. If there ever
has been time, as has been frequent
ly charged, when jealousy has existed
between the older men and the young,
that time has passed. The war horses
of another generation are here today,
but they are here for council and they
have brought along with them their
sons and their neighbors' sons for ac-
ton.
Big Convention Forecasted
Estimating today's convention by
careful observance of the several hum
bred men gathered at the headquarters
in the Augusta House Wednesday
evening today's convention will be a
calm, dignifed and deliberate body.
1t will feel it's responsibility in the
vital affairs of the people of this
State II will express its convictions
in plain, unmistakable terms. 1t will
indulge in no spectacular byplay or
meaningless expressions. 1t will rec
ognize crisis in the affairs of the
State and the nation. 1t will deal with
those things in the light Of experience
and up-to-date scientific reasoning. 1t
will send the representatives of the
people back to their homes with
new understanding Of the duty and
the purpose of the Republican party.
At the Augusta House Wednesday
evening such words as these were
heard among the men who have be-

parent advantage either side; rebels
still hold Dona Cecilia and Arbol

Unless otherwise directed will hold

ture Tampico this time. Time refugees
must be held is uncertain, therefore,
presence of army transport is very
desirable, although refugees do not
wish to leave country"
The letters referred to by the ad-
miral were sent without instructions
from Washington. but it is presumed
here that he demanded that the life
and property of n-combatants be
safeguarded and possibly that neu-
trail zone be designated into which
foreigners and women and children
may retire for safety.
American Fleet
The American fleet lis represented
at Tampico by the battleships Mime
sofa and Connecticut, the cruisers
Chester, Des Moines and San Fran

The battleship Utah was ordered
there from Vera Cruz tonight. The
German cruiser Dresden and the
British cruisers Hermoine and Essex

tional fleet at Tampico and the Span
ish cruiser Carlos V is enroute from
Vera Cruz. Rear Admiral Fletcher re-
ported he had ordered the hospital ship
Solace, now at New Orleans, to coal
and be in readiness for service at
Tampico.
State department officials were ret
icent in discussing the situation which
the department faces in view of the
expulsion of the Spaniards. Now that
the Torreon refugees are on American
SOIL immediate steps must be taken
for their care. officials were nom
communal when asked whether further

1918 is only history and 1914, new
born year, which holds our future des-
tiny, is dawning. Let us sincerely
hope he holds something more favor
able for the Beaver county people in
his twelve months reign than the year
gave that has just passed.
1t still remains cold and the snow
dosen't seem inclined to leave very
rapidly.
The folks had letter from R. d.
Thomas from Kiowa, Kansas, in which
ne states there is not as much snow
at that place as there WAS in Beaver
county when he went away last Tues
day and that the prospects for wheat
crop was much better there than here
and we think we have fine prospects.
School began Monday again after one
week lay off for the kiddies.
Mrs, Thomas is slowly improving
She is able to go about little on
crutches. 1t sure seems nice as she
has been confined almost entirely to
her bed for ten long weeks now.
The ladies of the Mothers Club plan
ed to execute great surprise on Mrs
r. d. Thomas last Saturday, but ow-
ing to the inclemency of the weather
there was only few of the ladies ven
tured out and they surely did them
selves proud in executing the surprise
The first intimation Mrs. Thomas had
of the intended visit was when their
president, Mrs. A, NJ. Gheen, came
staggering in under her well loaded
box of good things to eat, followed by
Mrs. Armstrong and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Henson. A fine dinner and a
pleasant time and no one enjoyed it
more than Mrs. Thomas and il will
long be remembered by her as silver
timing in her cloud OF aflliction.
Carl Nelson did not 20 to see his
mother until Sunday. He started to
Forgan Monday but concluded it was
too cold and came back and waited
until later.
Several of the farmers in this neigh
borhood have been losing COWS from
some kind of a fever. We heard OF two

prove to be epidemic as cattle are too
valuable to lose nowadays especially
