one home in Lamont, but modified b.
a sense Of relief because st was tht
end of the long, continued suffering
of the wife and mother-Mrs., JohI
3 Lindsay. Her maiden name was Ell
{ la May Chamberlain, and, she was
( born in Boone. county Illinois, on

received what she could In the way
OF education dn the public schools
4 she went to Kirkland, Illinois, to
attend college and later went to Ge-
noa, ILL.,, TO further. college work.
She did not complete her, course as
she had to return home three months
before she would have been gradu-
ated on account of the illness of her
mother. She was married to- John E..
i Lindsay at, Rockford, Illinois, August
goth, 1890, and to them were born
born two sons who survive her. They
lived on farm near Belvidere, Iii
nois, for ten years, and then moved,
in the spring of 1900, to Buchanan
county, Iowa, which has been their
home since. Soon after moving to
Iowa Mrs. Lindsay became afflicted
with rheumatism. The best medical
skill available afforded little relief
and three years ago 1t was necessary
4 to leave the farm and move to La
mont. During all the fifteen years of
her suffering she manifested much
patience and through it all she was
most carefully and lovingly attend
ed by her husband. @ . s,s.

Wetzel Retires From
Cumberland Contest

John w. Wetzel, one of the candi-
dates for the Cumberland county
judicial nomination, retired in favor
of Sylvester b. Sadler on Saturday
night, causing CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the opponents of Sadler and
bringing walls from the Rupley con-
tingent. The action of Wetzel is be-
lieved to make very sure a vote over
fifty-one per cent. for Sadler, giving
him the election. Eleven years ago
Wetzel ran against Judge Sadler. He
was apparently convinced that it was
not worth while to run again.
In his statement the retiring candi-
date says:
ITO My Friends
II have determined to ask my
friends to abstain from voting for me
at the ensuing primaries on the 21st
instant. l am firmly convinced that
no Democrat can be elected at the
primary or Fall election, and, therefore
for the sake of the party, the judicial
contest should be settled at the pri-
mary on Tuesday next.
I have consistently contended that
there should be but one Democratic
candidate for judge, so that factional
fight could be avoided, and there
would then be a chance for the sue
cess of the Democratic nominees for
the county Offices. That they may have
an opportunity, 1 am willing to make
the sacrifice and withdraw so that this
result may possibly be attained.
In my careful canvass of the county
l have found the predominating senti-
ment expressed to be in favor of the
selection of S. B. Sadler, Esq, the
members of the bar irrespective of
party, being almost unanimously in
his favor. His fitness and fairness are
generally recognized. The office be-
ing nonpartisan, the Democrats can,

ADVICE TO THE
CALIFORNIA JAPANESE

The Osaka Mainichi, a leading pa
per of that busy town, is very much
pleased that Japan's participation in
the Panama-Pacific Exposition is ap-
parently ameliorating the feeling of
Americans. especially Californians, to-
ward. Japan. The Japanese in Amer
lea, it says, should seize this opportun-
ity to dissipate themselves and endea-
vor to remove causes that led to the
exclusion movement. They are under
three disadvantages, namely, they are
not yet strongly established, they are
in want of men who can really lead
them, and they lack connections with
the American labor circles. So the
Mainichi advises: Work hard. become
rich and organized. 1t suggests furth-
er that the Japanese in California
bring among them some influential
japanese from home, so that the lat
ter in friendly way may arrange
matters with the politicians and bust
nessmen of California japanese
farmers and laborers should also or
ganize so that they may work together
with the American unions. In any
case, says the journal, American at
tention is now being turned toward
bettering Japanese-American rela-
tions. and the opportunity once missed
will not come back again.

Terrific Struggle For
Possession of Trenches
By Associated Press

London, Sept. 2O.-The Times to-
day publishes the following dispatch
from a correspondent with Russian
forces, sent on Saturday from Dvinsk:
II spent three days on this front
where a terrific battle is raging. When
attacks die away at one place they
begin instantly ut another The near
est front is only twelve miles from
Dvinsk, whose deserted streets re-
sound with the detonations of heavy
gunfire.
THE Russians are holding the
Dvinsk front in an excellent line of
trenches three deep and despite con-
slant fierce attacks supported by con-
centrations of heavy artillery they
have held the enemy off thus far.
Many times the first line has been
taken by the enemy, then retaken by
our counter attacks. The Germans
are twice or thrice our strength and
have enormous superiority in guns as
always, but hitherto they have gained
no decisive advantage. each of their
attempts being paid for with heavy
loss of life"

Clement Picked For
Commander by Gossip

The Philadelphia Press says there
is much speculation in National Guard
circles as to who will succeed Major
General c. B. Dougherty upon his re-
| tirement from active service on Sep
tember 80, In some quarters it is
said that he will be succeeded by Brig
adler General Charles NJ. Clement,
now commanding the Third Brigade,
and that Colonel Stilwell, command
ing the Thirteenth Infantry, will be
appointed a brigadier general to fill
the vacancy caused by the prospective
elevation of General Clement. But
from very authentic sources it is an
nounced that a major general COM
manding the division will not be ap-
pointed immediately upon the retire
ment of General Dougherty,
Instead Brigadier General Clement
Will act as the division commander,
still maintaining his present grade.
The promotion, it is said, will not hap
pen until the National Guard of Penn
sylvania complies with the wishes of
the War Department and has its di-
visional organization complete in con-
formance with the United States Army
organization. This will happen very
soon."
