Hon. Charles A. Kennedy. member of
congress from this district She had
been ill for some time
Biographical.
Mrs. Kennedy before marriage was
Miss Maria Williams and was born
at Dublin, Ireland, december Is, 1871.
On the death Of her parents she ac-
companied an aunt to the United
States. living for time in the state
of New York and later removing to
keokuk. While resident in this
city she met a bright promising young
man, William Kennedy. a native of
County Galway, who had learned the
trade of a shoemaker in his native
land, and was continuing his vocation
at shop in Keokuk. In 1858 she was
married to this bright young man,
" lillian Kennedy, and in 1860, they
removed to Montrose, where he work
ed as shoemaker until his death,
June %, 1885. The little household was
broken and grief sent it's shadows
about the model home, but the good
wife, now widow, with noble
woman's courage faced the unprom-
Using ordeal and looked with affection
and care to the children about her.
Home became more her idol and she
spent most of her time in caring for
lit and those who needed her wise
counsel and watchful attention. Soon
bad health came and for number of
years she was an invalid, forced by af-
Fiction to remain indoors. Recently
she was taken down seriously. was in
a condition for some time, without
hope for recovery, and at last the
death angel came and bore her spirit
to the land of love and rest.
Mrs Kennedy was a notable ex.
sessed many social qualities which en-
deared her to many friends and ac-
quaintances. She was faithful mem
Der of the Episcopal church, as was
her departed husband. She and her
four daughters were members OF. the
Order of the Eastern Star, of which
at one time she was worthy matron
OF that organization. Though confin-
ed to her home most OF the latter por
ton Of her life, her acquaintance was
extensive in Lee county, especially
that portion of it in which she resid-
ed, and was highly respected for her
striking personality and qualities Of
noble womanhood. Through long I'LL
ness, she bore the pain accom- any-
ing her illness, with spirit OF true
christian courage and fortitude
The death of this, another of the
good old mothers Of Lee county, casts
a shade of sorrow in the circle OF
homes, in which she was so favorably
known, respected and held in affec-
tionate regard and friendship.
Mrs. Kennedy was the mother Of

torney at law at Montrose, recently

PREPAREDNESS.

We are informed that those in authority have prepared
a plan for increasing the navy, the army and the national
guard, which the president approves, and which will in
volve a vast expenditure of money. That the object behind
it is to better prepare the people against attack.
The country will applaud anything which goes to draw
ing new safeguards around the republic. But the dangers
of assault from without are remote, while there are Sc
rious dangers near. What do our statesmen propose to
do to meet those dangers. Is there any program for the
creation of a great merchant marine and to keep it in
active working condition? Our country depends upon
unlimited trade for its advancement; the need of owning
it's own express wagons for the delivery of goods is inten-
sified from the fact that most of what we have to sell
is cheap and bulky.
Are any factories closed because of the impossibility
Of competing with the half slave pauper labor of foreign
lands? If so, are any preparations made to arrest the
wrong?
If a farmer is wise who builds a strong fence to keep
from the ripening harvest the half-starved stock of his
n~eighbOr, is not a government wise that initiates his ex-
ample? Is the present policy to take from the frontiers
man any valuable find that he may make of oil, or timber,
or coal, or forest, or water power, to be continued?
Are any preparations made to give idle men employ
ment? Preparedness for what may threaten from with
out is good, but it is better to be prepared against any
thing sinister which may threaten us at home.
Indeed, it is not half as necessary to put a lock on the
outside door for fear of possible thieves as to see that the
children in the house are ~propedly clothed and fed-Goo

DANGER FROM GRAIN SMUT.

We have had our say about the nuisance of grain smuts
We have seen t~hrashing machines at work near a barn
sending out a cloud of smutty dust as black as the smoke
from a factory chimney. 1t is not only a nuisance to work
in any such filth, but the smut cuts down the quantity and
quality of the grain often by Is per cent or more. 1t is a
shame to let such a performance go on, when it is entirely
possible to prevent it by treating the seed grain. Thus
far we have talked about the loss it occasions. Now comes
another trouble. Throughout the west there have been
many explosions in thrashing machines. These explo-
sions led to fire, which caused the destruction OF much
property. The Washington experiment station has in
~vestigated this and finds that these fires result from an
explosion of smut. This smut works in with the other dust
from broken grain or straw, and becomes thoroughly COM
bustible. Then electricity is terminated through the
working of the thrasher and from it the dust and smut is
set on fire through an explosion. Flames burst out and a
fire follows. The college finds that the dry smut contains
about four per cent of oil, and when floating in dry air
it becomes very infammable, so that it is readily ignited
by even a weak electric spark. Conditions surrounding
a thrasher on the Atlantic slope might not be as favorable
to these explosions as on the upper Pacific, but there is
always a danger from smutty grain and here is an add,
tional reason for going through the simple operation OF
treating the seed.-Rural New Yorker.

THE COMING FARMERS.

Public attention has not been particularly attracted to
the boys and girls agricultural clubs which give promise
of performing a notable service in relation to both the
farm and the home life in agricultural districts. This
is no doubt because the movement is new.
In Idaho there are a large number of these clubs and
their exhibits at the various fairs have been distinct fea-
lures of these events. At the Boise fair the displays OF
these young people merited commentator.
Here the unusual occurred when a girl won the prize
for the best pig and a boy won the prize for the best bread.
all of which reveals that there is a marked sex democracy
in this movement. 1t may or it may not be accounted for
by the fact that this is an equal suffrage state. In any
event there is an element of encouragement in the fact
that Anticipated methods in form life are being displaced
In the United States last year there was an increase
of more than ~forty-one thousand in the membership OF
these boys and girls clubs. There are more than one
hundred and fifty thousand members of the mother
daughter canning clubs. .u
The work of these organizations foretell greater effl-
cheney and more pronounced results in the agriculture OF
the future-BOiSeS Statesman.

JUGGLING WITH OUR ASSETS.

The need for a budget system was never better exem-
plified than in the recent announcement Of Secretary Nc
Adoo that he has added S8O,OOO,OO0 to the assets of the
government. This was done by a change in bookkeeping.
The secretary simply has decided to call as a credit money
placed in repositories to pay specific appropriations,
without taking into considerable" FIAT every dollar of the
sum is + pledged. AS the secretary says, the money may not
be needed for the specific purpose for which it is intended,
for some time. But the fact remains that it was appropri-
ated for specific purposes. AS a result of this change
there is in the treasury a working balance of Sl28O DOC, 600
instead of $48, 100000 while there is an excess of expendi-
lures over income amounting to $4,000 600 at the pres
ent time.-Leslie's Weekly.
