0bituary--JaCOb WambOId.

At the home of his son, the Rev.
Father F. A. Wambold, died Jacob
Wambold on last Thursday night, at
the age of 70 years. 10 months and
II days. Deceased has been in
delicate health for several years,
having been a sufferer from asthma,
and of late the trouble seemed to
weigh heavily or the aged patient.
On Thursday a change was impending
and the son administered the last
sacrament. Following this rite the
patient seemed easier and talked and
laughed freely, but suffered paroxysms
of short breath, in one of which he
died.
Jacob Wambold was born in Hesse-
Dramstadt. Germany, July %. 1885,
and came to America when a lad of
10. He married at Saukville, Wise,
and for a time lived there. All the
children were bora there; of the eight
children, there were two pairs of
twins. The first born were twins,
John Nicholas and Frederick Anthony,
the latter being pastor of st. Gle
ment's church, this city, at whose
home the aged father died. John
Nicholas Wambold lives at Sun
Prairie. Two daughters also sur
vive: Sophie, Mrs. Frank Robb,
Sun Prairie, and Elizabeth, Mrs.
thinner, st. Paul. The other four,
with the wife and mother, have pre-
coded the father into the beyond.
For the past 81 years deceased has
made his home with the son, Father
Wambold. following the son in his
priestly migrations. First they were
at Highland, then at Mauston and
finally at Lancaster. He vas of a
cheerful, kindly nature, and while
not widely known he was very much
beloved. The remains were taken to
Sun Prairie, and buried by the side
of those of his wife. Solemn requiem
high mass was said at ST. Clements
church on Saturday morning by the
Rev. F. A. Wambold, assisted by the
Rev. John Field, Fennimore, and the
Rev. Max Rupprechter, of Blooming
ton. Father Wambold accompanied
the remains to Sun Prairie and re-
manned there until Tuesday morning.
1t is we'll at this time to mention
that the WamboId family is of
Lutheran, rather than of Roman
Catholic inclination. The family of
the late Jacob Wambold was convert
ed in a Catholic mission A years ago,
at Saukville. AS a child the Rev. F.
A. Wambold attended the German
Lutheran church, and now tells how
he used to drop his penny into the
church bag, in order that he might
hear the bell ring.

0%bituary--IOh Ness.

"Thou shalt come to thy grave in
a full age like as a shock of corn
Job :26. 4
On April 90 the news flashed over
the wire-''Grandpa Ness is dead"
The word did not come as a shock to
his relatives and friends for it was
the inevitable result of many weary
months of patient suffering. He was
taken to his bed April z, and from
then till the time of his death his
every breath was a prayer for de-
liverance.
John Ness was born in Germany,
Nov. Is, 1885, and married Marie
Dahlenberg in Jan, 1860. While he
was yet a young man he made up his
mind to seek his fortune in this
country, so together with his young
wife and baby daughters he left his
old home and associates and sailed
for America, going to Cassville and
from there at once to the home Of his
~brother-in law, Fred zach, below
Beetown.
He obtained work Of Phile Stephens
and being a faithful laborer soon
earned enough to start farming him
self, which he did in Dakota; but
the climate being so dry and water
so scarce he stayed only one year.
He then returned to Wisconsin,
settling on the farm near Beetown
where he lived until the death Of his
wife, March 25, 1906, since which
time he has lived at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. August Troupe.
FiliaI devotion is beautiful in any
home and in 10 home was it more
manifest than in the home of August
Troupe, where Grandpa Ness was
loved and respected by oil and young
alike.
John Ness was the father of seven
children, five dying in infancy. Two
daughters, Mrs. Louise Jack and
Mrs. Minnie Troupe, survive him and
were in constant attendance at his
bedside, doing all that earthly hands
could do to alleviate his sufferings.
He also leaves six grand children,
six great grand children and many
friends to mourn his loss.
He was a great worker and he and
| his faithful wife made their place a
very productive one. Although they
were always busy. they still had time
to enjoy a good visit with their neigh
bors when they came their way, and
they have ever been examples OF
thrift and industry to the entire COM
munity.
John Ness was one of the most APP
preciative of men. When a kindness
had been shown him he nev forgot
it. but would mention it TO the n tc
whom he felt indebted, long after
that one had forgotten it, thanking
him and invoking Gods blessing upor
him.

A Dangerous Bill Which Should BE
Withdrawn By Senator Jones.

Senator Jones has introduced in the senate
amendment to the city charter of Pensacola which, If
passed, would confer the city commissioners the
power issue certificates of Indebtedness negota
bic notes for special purposes including the payment
Of principal and interest OF any special improvement
bonds outstanding. The bill has further been amend
ed g give the commissioners power issue ten-year
negotiable coupon bonds the of $4,000 with
which to buy erect buildings for police and fire pur
poses.
Senator Jones bill has several other features. but
they relate 10 suppantng the present primary system
with that OF the Bryan primary law, the establish
ment Of free employment and publicity bureau and
tenure of office of city employees.
With these The Journal finds objection, but il
believes the amendment giving the commissioners the
right to issue negotiable bonds be dangerous in the
extreme, and The Journal in making this statement
does not intend TO any reflections upon the hon
esty and integrity OF the present city commissioners.
Such law would be taking from the property owner
that right which should be his ony-that of voting
bond issue. 1t is the property owner whose home is
mortgaged when bonds issued and the power to do
should not be transferred TO a board of commits
