Death of Mrs. Mildred Bennett.

Last week the Tribune noted this
deata very briefly, the sad intelligence
reaching here after the type was adj
justed for the press.
Mildred Wearne, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. z. Wearne, was born in this city
in February, 1871. Her parents died
when she was quite young Thereafter,
during her girlhood life, her home was
with her uncle and aunt, MIR. and Mrs.
w. H. Jacka, who cared for her in
every way as a child of their own. She
graduated from our high school and
afterwards became an instructor in our
public schools. Eventually, she became
the wife of Edgar p. Bennett, son Of
W. II. Bennett, for long time editor
of the Tribune. A few years after this
union, they established home in
Washington, d. c., where Ed. was a
proof reader in the government priEt-
ing office. Two years ago last January,
the husband died, after a prolonged i'll
ness. Since then, Mrs. Bennett and
son and daughter went to Twin Falls,
Idaho, to reside that place being the
home of her sister, Mrs. Hattie Clos.
There she died on the l4th inst. of
heart asthma, after about a days i'll
ness.
The body arrived here Saturday night
accompanied by Mrs Clos and the two
children and another sister Of deceased,
Mrs. Myrtle Creeden of Norfolk, Neb,
Funeral took place from the home Of
Mrs. w. H. Jacka Sunday afternoon,
Rev. w. j. G. Bond officiating in that
pathetic eloquence so Characteristic Of
him. The duet singing by Mr.. j. |.
Maust and Miss Grace Hyde was ex-
cellently and touchingly rendered In
torment by the side Of her husband IN
beautiful Graceland cemetery.
Mrs. Mildred Wearne- Bennett was a
person Of marked mildness and pleasant
manner from infancy to the hour Of
her death intelligent, patient, per-
severing. Hers was a life fraught
with much sorrow, yet with all it was
crowned with fragrance Of womanly
grandeur which will remain with every
acquaintance SO long as life shall last.
Other relatives attending the funeral
were w. II. and w 3. Bennett and
wives Of Madison and A. g. Bennett,
wife and daughter Of Minneapolis.

The revised marriage and divorce
laws Of the state are in conformity to
similar laws in adjacent states, and
this year will see much progress in the
uniformity Of marriage law throughout
the United States. Now divorce
couple can not marry IN this or any
neighboring states within year after
their divorce. The eugenics feature Of
our law with the physical examination
clause is made to apply equally to both
sexes, either having the privilege to
demand such an examination This is
really backward step, for in nine
eases out of ten or more, that feature
will not be resorted to.

Grcwsome Sight for Men While Hunt.
ing in Timber for Wolves.

Last Sunday morning Messrs. Frank
Lawinger and George Clayton, farmers
residing southwest of this city, were
| strolling in the woods in the vicinity of
their homes in quest of the resort of
wolves that were infesting that neigh
borhood At a point about three and
a half miles from this city and short
distance to the south of the Mineral
Point & Northern railway track, they
came upon the grewseme sight of a
man hanging in tree.
Evidently the man had climbed into
the tree, fastened one end of the rope
to limb and the other end around his
neck and took drop Of six feet or
more. but his dangling body was still
about fifteen feet from the ground.
This was in land owned by Joseph

township.
The man was p comparative strang
er in these parts He had worked
few days on the farms of Henry Grab
err. Henry Vivian and John SteiTes,
The Sunday previous was the last seen
of him alive, and judging from the
fetid condition of the body it had been
hanging there possibly a week. His
name is given the writer as Mike Ka-
saba and it is understood that he was
an Austrian. Such name is also on
the record book of Waupun prison
His age is estimated from 35 to 40.
He was Of few words, but he said
enough at places where he worked to
leave the impression that he had a wife
and children in Austria.
Sheriff Hillary was summoned and
he, after consultation with the district
attorney, turned the body over to TN
dertaker Nick Miller Of this city for
burial which took place that day in the
