OBITUARY

On Thursday of last week,
March 80, at about the noon hour,
at her home in Wahpeton, N. D.,
occurred the death of Mrs. M. E.
Todd, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. H. Davenport of this city. The
summons was sudden and very
unexpected. Death was due to
heart failure. Eleven days before
little son had come into the
home, and both mother and son
were apparently getting along in
fine shape. The parents in YER
million were assured that the
daughter IVES feeling fine, and on
the morning of her death had re-
ceived long letter from her that
brought joy to them.
But that Thursday afternoon
about four O'Clock message
came from Wahpeton saying that
the death messenger had entered
the home, and that the mother
had been suddenly summoned.
The death angel entered the home
very Unexpectedly. The mother
was going down stairs for dinner
for the first time after the birth
of the little son. At the foot of the
stairs she complai"ed of feeling
faint, and Immediately relaxed in
to a comatose state. A physician
was summoned, arriving five min
utes later, but his efforts were of
no avail. Jennie did not regain
consciousness. The sun had set
on the evening of her youth. Her
master had called and she an
swered the summons to a better
world.
Short funeral services were held
from the home on Friday morn
ling. in charge of Rev. Sewrey of
1.-THE Congregational Church, and
the remains were then started on
the long journey to Vermillion.
They arrived in the City on Sat-
urday morning, and were taken
to the home Of the parents on
Washington Street.
Funeral services were held from
the Congregational church on
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock
in charge of Rev. jeremiah C.
Cromer. Two solos were rendered
by Prof. H. w. Vanneman, Lead
Kindly Light and lone Sweetly
Solemn Thought" These consti-
tuted the musical numbers for the
services. The remains were in
TERED in Bluff View cemetery in
the family lot.
The pail bearers were Prof. j
ID. Elliott, j. H. Julian Fred
Grange. Atty w. R. Cleland, Prof
Ole Stoland and E. M. Hart.
Jennie Lind Davenport was
born in St. Helena Nebraska, or
Feb. 1, 1884. She came with hel

foreigners have left this district, but

The inquiry Of the West Virginia

the fact that fully 5000 men could be

that the miner can make from 81 to S.

From This State According to
Information Gathered by
Secretary Archer.

PARKERSBURG, July IA few
DAYS since one OF the banks Of Par
kersburg referred TO the West Viz
ginia board Of trade a letter from
an outside advertising man, who stat
ed that several foreign papers pub
llshed in New York, Milwaukee, and
elsewhere, intended to run a West
Virginia edition in August. The rea-
son given for such special edition
was that foreigners are leaving West
virginia in great numbers" Henry
H. Archer, secretary Of the West Yir-
ginia board Of trade, Immediately
sent night letters to the leading cities
Of the state to see II there was any
thing to show that such an exodus was
going on.
The Wheeling commercial associa-
ton replied: There is no unusual
exodus of foreigners from this vicini-
ty. Conditions seem to be entirely
