Joseph Thomas Williams, the son
of David Ball Williams and Mary

! Nicholas county, Kentucky, May IL,

until he had attained the age of IS

ents to Missouri, locating near Mex
leo in the year 1856. At the out
break of the War between the States
he espoused the cause of the Confed-
eracy and for two years was in the
conflict when he was captured. He
was one of large family of ten
children, having eight sisters and
one brother, all of whom have pre-
ceded him to the better world.
Mr.. Williams was married to
Miss Frances Robertson November
3Oth, 1866, with whom he lived joy
ously and happily for SO years lack
ing only few short months. To
this union were born six children,
two of whom died in infancy;
one, GoldsborOugh, a son, died at the
age of &c years. Three sons, Theo-
dore j., of Mexico, Mo-; Charles H.
of Litchfeld, ILL.,, and Joseph F. of

mourn the great loss.
Mr.. Williams was converted
and with his wife united with the
Augusta PresbS terrain Church in Cal
laway county about the year 1870.
On his removal to Mexico he became
member of the M. r. Church,

Rev. e. X. Miller, and for nearly 80
years he rem aimed a faithful mem
Der of the chnrch.
In erly life Mr. Williams
taught school, but on coming to
Mexico he WAS Deputy Recorder of
Audrain county for many years and
was finally elected Recorder. He
filled these responsible positions and
that of Public Administrator and
Police Judge of the City of Mexico,
all with honor and in that manner
as to command the respect and con-
fidence of all. He engaged in the
real estate business for many years.
A good man has gone to his eter-
nal reward After all what does
the Lord require of us but to do JUS
tice, love mercy and to walk humbly
with our God.

SEARCHER FAILS TO
 FIND BREEDING BODY

NOME, Dec. 13.-Manager Hast ings, of the Serpentine Hot Springs, returned today after three days vain hunt during a fierce blizzard on the trail of Conrad Breeding, lost soon after Thanksgiving. Hastings was forced to return when he ran out of feed for his dogs.
 Hastings picked up the trail fifteen miles from the springs, made half circle, went down Reindeer creek, where he found a ski standing up in the snow and proceeded half way down the creek until he found another ski. In an old cabin at the mouth of the creek he saw evidence that Breeding had gathered willows, made a fire in an old stove, melted snow in a can for drinking water and then had gone on to Spring creek.
 Hastings followed Freeding's trail up Springs creek to it's source and over the divide to another creek, the name of which is not known, and then lost the trail on account of glare ice from a recent overflow. From there Hastings returned to Taylor Hastings says Freding was heading in a general westerly direction away from any habitation. Hastings and three more men and two teams will leave in the morning to continue the search. The weather is warm, but it is showing. EX.

HE SAYS GOVT. KEEPS
 MONEY FROM ALASKA

Within three months the gold mills of the Juneau district in Alaska will be crushing 25,OOO tons of ore a day. according to J. A. Hollenthal, Juneau attorney, who is at the New Washing ton with Mrs. Hellenthal, The Alas ka-Juneau plant, which has been un, der construction for two years, will start operations in March, and as its capacity is rated from 5000 to 12, 900 tons a day the output of the dis trict will be about doubled
 "The Juneau gold camp will be the biggest gold camp in the world some day" said Mir. Hellenthal, "and the day isn't far off, either. The camp is growing steadily; the pay roll is growing, and with the reduction of mining and milling costs the low grade properties are becoming more and more attractive to capital.
 "The attitude of the government, however, has not been one, since the time of President Roosevelt, to en- courage the entrance into the terri tory of foreign capital. Rather it has had a tendency to keep capital out"
 Mir. Hellenthal said that with the development of the town has come a stabler prosperity. The miners are building homes in the district, and with the proposed bridge to connec- the mianIand of Juneau with Douglas island on the other side of Gastineau channel built it will be possible for many more to own their own homes. The city of Juneau recently bonded for a new school house, which will be built soon.-Seattle P.-I.
