July 2, United States Senator James H. Kyle died at his hume in Aberdeen at 6 o'clock last evening. Senator Kyle was stricken ten days ago. His trouble was of malarial origin, and resulted in a functional affection of the heart. A consultation of physicians was held, and his case soon took a turn for th better, the heart ac tion growing stronger and the gsneral condition much mora encouraeiüg, but a relapse occuired with a fatal effect. uo4iu ui ouaaior ivyie removes one of the most striking characters in the west. His second term would have expired in 1903. When ho was first elected to the United States senate, in 1891, b.9 was a member of the state leg islature. Tho Democrats and Republicans were deadlocked.

He served hia term with credit, getting away from the Democratic and Populiatic element, and often votiog with the Republicans where public policy was concerned. PAVING CONTRACTED. A careful comparison of the, bids places that of W, W. Hatch & Sous, of Goshen, as the lowest on all the different kinds of brick, as well as on the excavation, curbing and filler, and it was accepted Wednesday evening Their bid is as , follows: Excavation, 23c per cubic yard; cementcurb 22c per lineal foot; cement filler 7c per square yard; eaDd filler, lc per 6quare yard; brick paving per squire yard, with gravel foundation. Posten block $1,37, Clinton $1.43, Indiana $1.44, Terre Haute $1 16; with stone foundation these prices are 19c higher. The tests of the Posten block show it to be a satisfactory brick, considering the usage to which it will be subjected here, and it may be adopted, though the Clinton brick is also satisfactory. If tlie Poßten is eelect&d, with gravel foundation and sand filler, the cost of the pavement will be $1.33 per square yard, with the curb, at 22 c per front foot, added. It is probable that the excavaticg will be done by the city. At it . 1 m. 4 m inai rate me coei per iront root on a pavement 40 feet wide would be $323, exclusive of the excavation, and on a 30feet pavement it would be 2.52. The council decided to disregard the remonstrance because of its insufficiency and ordered a contract to be made with the Hatch concern for Poeten or Clinton block, at the option of the council, with gravel foundation to Washington street and gravel or stone the remainder of the distance to the bridge, at the council's option, and with cement or sand filler, at their option, W. W, Hatch is in the city and the contract will besigned today, Very Peculiar. Many cases of so called consumption have been cured by Dr, Marshall's Lung Syrup.

BIDS ARE LOW

EIGHT FIRMS PROPOSE FOR THE NORTH MICHIGAN STREET IMPROVEMENT AND NAME VERY REASONABLE FIGURES. Names of Kemoniitrants. The council meetingMonday night was largely attended by interested citizens. j bidders and the curiously inclined and when the mayor's gavel fell at 8 o'clock an expectant hush settled over the audience, which wondered just how the paving question would be opened. The clerk announced that he had the certificate of the appointment by ihe circuit court of city commissioners for the ensuing year and the necessary record was ordeied to be made. Ai has already been stated in thi paper the commissioners are W. H. Conger, A. North, D. K. Harris, W. B. Kyle and W, P. Young, The clerk then informed the council that he had eight bid9 for paving and the members settted down with paper and pencils as he proceeded to open and read them. Each bid was sealed and was accompanied by a cyrtified check. The forms of the bids were substantially alike, giving prices flret on the excavation per cubic yard, cement curbing per lineal f or, paviDg per square yard. The prices proposed for the paving induce Eix to eight different kinds ar d qualities of brick and three or more different kinds and combinations of fouadatiou, eacd, gravel, crushed stone and combinations of these being priced. The bids are as follows: Wm. R. Hines, Frankfort. Ind. Excavation, 23c; curb 23?; paviDg, from $1,42 to $1.76, as above explained; cement filler, 8c extra. Frank Brumbaugh, Elkhart. ' Excavation, 23c; curb 30c; paving, from 1-47 to 1.54, with 10c extra for broken stone. - W. W. Hatch & Sons, Gcshen.

Terre Haute. . . excavation, 27c; curb 30c; pavicg.fr-m 1.40 to 1,73; cement filler, 8c, sand filler 2c. The attention of the council was at this point called to the. fact that a re monstrance against paving North Mich igan street had been filed and this waa referred without readirjg to a special committee, consisting of councilmen Parker, Reynolds and Aetley. F. H. Jacox. E. M. Viets and Clara Neil filed written withdrawals from the remonstrance and these were referred to the same committee. The Norton and Kemp bids, being the highest, were withdrawn by consent of council, in order for the bidders to release their certified checks, thus .'saving eix bids to be considered. Under the head of deferred business the council took up the two petitioDe affecting the width of the proposed pavement on Laporte street one asking for a 40-ft pavement and the other asking for 30 feet, and some additional signatures to both were noted. The matter was again deferred until Monday evenirg's regular session. Council thereupon took a recess until Wednesday evening, and will in the interim consider the bids and the remonstrance. The names of those who signed the remonstrance are as follows: H, Humrichouser N.S. Woodward August L. Loeeeh Eldora F. TibbettB Chas. B. Tibbetta Harriett M, Bennett W.M.Kendall Carrie A. Johnson C. H. Reeve Florence Senour Harriet E. Kendall Michael Spiesshcfer Sarah U. Shakes Florence Senour, guardian of Daniel & Bessie Senour P. H, Jacox Dr. I. Bower . Clara Neil MrsM JHoItzendorff John Schultheiss D. L. Dickinson E. M. Viets M. M, Bower A. C. Holtzendorff C. R. Cooper JuliaK.Blaio, guard ian of Oliver Blain Julia K. Blain Wm. W. Hill Fred W. Hill Orlando M.Packard Mary E. Thayer Harriet H.Wheeler Emma AUeman Jennie C. Capron J. C. Capron L. A. Kloepfer . ( Geo. Neff ' Fred H. Myers Alvira M. Reevea Stella Drummond Samuel Gretzinger Catherine Confer Mrs. C. O. Smith Kathetina Weireter J, B. Rowell W. W.Hill. Geo. Neff and F. W. Hill reserve tbe right to withdraw if the bids are not excessive. C. P. Drummond, for his wife, makes the condition that no contract 6hall be made until ample opportunity is given to remonstrate. The figures named in the proposals are lower than was generally anticipat-

ed, very much lower than 6ome of the more pessimistic had expected, and it was remarked on the street after the rneetiDg that several of the remonstrants would now withdraw their objection. It is impossible to Bay at this time which bid is the lowest aad best, but on the face it appears that the contract may be awarded to W. W. Hatch & Sons, of Goshen. Members of the council are not inclined to purchase the cheapest

- - quality of brick or to put in the cheap est foundation, but will endeavor to se" cure a ood. substantial and durable quality of both. n. lawyer wuo uas examined ino remonstrance gives his off-hand opinion that it is not sufficient in form and may b6 wholly disregarded ou that ground, but he declised to point out the particular defeat. It does not appear that the signers of the remonstrance, who live on tbe street, repre.-ent two-thirds of the frontage, and if a calculation shows this to be true the objection must fail of its purpose for that reason. Since 6eelng the prices at which paviDg is obtainable residents of Center street are greatly interested in the prospect of improving that 6treet and a petition to that end is not improbable in the near future. ANOTHER MARSHALL COUNTY PIONEER GONE. Ü tit if Mrs. Mahala Sumner, Tidovc of the late Col. Thorufls Sumner, aged SG years, was killed at University Place, a 6uburb cf the city of Liccoln.Nebraska, on June 10, by a runaway team, while she was out taking a walk. She had just started when she saw a run-away team coming toward her. Beicg opposite the mouth of an alley she stepped into it to avoid tbe team. As it came along eome one ran out from tbe opposite side of the street as if to try to stop it. but succeecied .only in turning it into the alley, where it etruck Mre. Sumner just above the heart, breaking three ribs and knocking her down. She died in about twenty minutes a. ter. Mrs. Sumner was among the prominent people of this county for many years. Her husband, Col. Thomas Sumner, came here in 1849, bought the farm near Antioch church five miles Eouth of Plymouth known as "the Corbaley farm," and died here eeveral years ago. He was colonel of the 87th regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry during the war of 1861, was a member of the state senate, and always a citizen of prominence and high standing, He was married in 1843, to Mrs. Mahala Swaynea widow and a sister of Lewis Bogge, late of this county; and of Mrs, Benoni Jordan, who still resides here Two brothers, Wm. Boggs and Hamilton Roggs. of Kosciusko county also survive her, one older than she was. The family was a prominent one, be icg among our most wealthy and pro gressive farmers. She had relatives and descendants living in Nebraska. She made her home with one of her grandeons at Beatrice where she was killed. She was visiting her son, Cyrus Swayne,' at Lincoln. She was a woman of great energy and industry, a life long worker. She was well known in the vicinities where rhe lived and was highly respected. She owned considerable property in Nebraska and was liberal to her family, She was a life long member bf tbe Methodist church and lived a Christian life. It seems to be a peculiar Providence that spared a christian worshiper and setvitor for nearly a centuy, and then hurled her to a 6udden violent and painful death. That tbe ways of Providence are "mysterious and past rinding out" is a cheap answer to our questions when we are told that he loves his children, wills their, happiness and good, puts his angels to guard them by day and by night, and can save us from all harm by the power of his will- It is such cases as this of Mrs. Sumner that make people hesitate in believing all that is preached to them from the pulpit, and implicitly relying on the promises of the church clerics. Mr. Burroughs, the mother of Mrs. Florence Reeve of this city and Mrs. Dora Hall of Sueburg, is a daughter of Msr. Sumner. They are many (among the early settlers have who will be shocked and pained on hearing of her violent and sudden taking off, A Ptty Party. 'Despite the heavy downpour of rain jeaterday tbe invitations of Miss Jessie Toan were generally accepted and an en joyable aternooo was bad. Frappe was served throughout and later a light lunch was served. Conundrum favors, consisting of carnations to each of which a clever conundrum was attached, were distribut ed.
