DIED AS DAUGHTER’S FUNERAL PROGRESSED

Mrs. A. J. Biggs Passed Away As Mrs. Earl Duvall’s Funeral Was Being Closed. • . . At Just a moment or two before 4 o’clock Friday afternoon -Mrs. A. J. Biggs died at the Biggs home southwest of this city. At the time of her death-Rev. W. G. Winn was just drawing to a close the funeral service of Mrs. Earl Duvall, daughter of Mrs. Biggs. The death was not unexpected, in fact, it had been realized for several weeks.that Mrs. Biggs could not survive but a short time. The combined loss of Mrs. Biggs and Mrs. Duvall is a terrible affliction to Mr. Biggs and family, also to Mr. Duvall and children, and the entire community shares as best it can the sorrow that enshrouds the two homes. Mrs. Biggs had apparently been in the best of health until a few months ago, when she began to fail. A specialist diagnosed her case as cancer and there was nothing to do but to await the death messenger. Six weeks ago she was taken to her grew rapidly worse. Only nine days prior to her death the operation was performed on her daughter, Mrs. C. Earl Duvall, who had always enjoyed good health. Little did the members of the family and the many friends think that the daughter would precede the mother to the other world, and Mrs. Duvall’s only fear in having the operation performed was that she might not be well when her mother passed away. There is a pathos connected with the two deaths that has caused sorrow in a great many homes, because both Mrs. Biggs and Mrs. Duvall were women of splendid qualities and so recently enjoying good health. Mrs. Biggs’ maiden name was Adaline Crawford, and she was born in Warren county, near West Lebanon, Ind., April 22, 1857, and lacked only till next Wednesday of being 57 year of age. She was married Dec. 28th, 1876, to A. J. Biggs. They have lived in this county for the past 19 years and prior to coming here lived for 12 years in Vermillion county, 111. Besides the husband, there are left to share the sorrow of the deaths the following children: Harry Biggs, of Canon City, Colo.; Mrs. G. B. Rollings, of Indianapolis; and Frank, Nell and Mildred Biggs, of thia city. Also Mrs. Biggs’ brother, George Crawford; two half-broth-ers and one half-sister, all of West Lebanon, namely, Fred and Will

J. J. Montgomery Buys the Business Owned by F. W. Tobias.

A business deal has betsr closed by which J. J. Montgomery, for many years the superintendent of the Jasper County Telephone Co., has bought of Frank W. Tobias, the laltte/s newsstand and cigar and confectionery business. Possession is to be given the first of May. Mr. Tobias has conducted this business for several years, giving it the most punctilious attention and having proven himself one of the city’s able young business men. He retires because he desires to engage in some occupation that will permit him to be out of doors more. It is probable that he will engage in farming in a small way. It will be good news to Mr. Montgomery’s friends to learn that he will continue to reside in this city, where ‘he has proven a great hustler and one of our most public spirited citizens. As chief of the fire department be has performed important service, having placed that department on a plane equal to any city where a single engine constitutes the equipment. Mr. Montgomery has always worked for other people and welcomes this opportunity to engage in business for himself and he will doubtless be able to retain all of the large trade Which Mr. Tobias has built up. He had some flattering offers in the telephone business, superintendency jobs being offered him 'n plants mudh larger than the one here, but he wished to keep his residence here and to be in business for himself, and the purchase of the Tobias store resulted.

VICTORIANA HUERTA AN ARTFUL DODGER

Tries to Dodge Apology by Having U. 8. Fire a Simultaneous Salute * —We Will—Not S

The assassin Huerta, dictator of Mexico, and about the most contemptible governmental power that the United States has ever had to deal with, sought to dodge compliance with his promise to make the salute of 21 guns to the United States flag by asking" that the United States fire a simultaneous salute. When this demand of Huerta was conveyed to President Wilson he was considerably vexed because it was believed the incident was closed by the promise to fire the salute' and our willingness to acknowledge it by firing a salute in return. The president promptly caused a message to be sent to Charge O’Shaughnessy, to be conveyed by him to Huerta, saying that we would not fire Simultaneously and that the letter of the demand made by Admiral Mayo must be complied with and that Mayo would respond as he saw fit. President Wilson made it plain that he is getting mighty tired of the dilatory tactics of Huerta and will not temporize in this matter at all. In the meantime the battleships are steaming toward the Mexican ports and will probably be in a position to entirely blockade all ports by next Wednesday or Thursday. Huerta’s sudden definance has led to the belief that he may desire to create war with the United States in the hope that it will serve to unite the Mexican factions and thus avert his. fast crumbling republic. Congres*s is almost unanimous in

backing up the president in this attitude toward Huerta, whose repeated indignities to this country have .been almost past endurance. The people have generally been mighty well pleased that the United States has not felt obliged to intervene in Mexico for some time and hope that war may be averted, but are a unit in hoping that no insults willbetolerated. The time is coming, also, when the United States must make a demand for money settlement from Mexico for the losses sustained by our people in Mexico and for the cost of sustaining the refugees that were driven across the border. It is not probable that there can be constituted in Mexico a stable government that would be able to manage its affairs to take care of the responsibilities entailed by the war and that would mean that the United States must take charge sooner or later. If Huerta succeeds in forcing the United States into a war at this time, it is probable that “Old Glory,” once set upon Mexican soil will never be hauled down. It will be a march to the Panama canal. With confidence in our institutions and a firm belief that Mexico, rich in natural resources, will prosper as never before under the control of the tlnited States, we believe that our people generally will approve of annexation, notwithstanding the great responsibilities that would entail. Huerta will doubtless be given to understand that he can not run any “bluffs” on Uncle Sam, and President Wilson is to be commended for his firm support of Admiral Mayo.

Farmers’ Wives Are Up Against the Chinese Hen.

A veteran dealer in eggs says in the New York Produce Record: “I would like to propound this query: Where were all the bright ones in the egg business at, and I am willing to be numbered among them, not to have seen that’China eggs, for several years past, could have been bought in China, and the old duty of Scents paid, and landed in this country at a cost of from 13c to. 15c and why didn’t we?” He says that extensive arrangements are being made to fill the American demand for eggs next winter in Austria, Russia, Siberia, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and other continental countries as well as in China, and! that the cold storage season for American eggs must be Shorter than usual this year, on account of the prospect that after December the demand will be largely filled with the imported goods. Hamburg is a large egg market and will ’grow rapidly now as she is the best situated to handle the American demand with a large fleet of swift steamers •plying between that city and New York and Boston and can land eggs in New York within a day or two as quickly as they can come from Chicago and the other western cities. The advent of foreign eggs will shut off a large outlet for eggs from the middle west and the northwest. Another factor is the changed conditions in the Canadian northwest in and around Winnipeg, which heretofore had been supplied with eggs from the Minneapolis and St. Paul territory. Now the territory west of Winnipeg is Alling this demand.
