A Grand Niece of Russell Sage.

Miss Ethel Sage, 17 year old daughter of Elizur Sage, of near Laura, in Walker Tp., died thia Tuesday morning, July 19th 1904, She has had consumption about four or five months, and about three weeks ago contracted typhoid fever. Her father- is a nephew of Bussell Sage, of New York, the great financier, and the world’s champion skin-flint of all time. Which last we mean as no reflection on this poor but worthy nephew, who says his enormously wealthy uncle has loaned him some money heretofore, when he was hard pushed, and with plenty of security and prompt payment when due. Mr. Sage formerly lived in Illinois and the girl’s body is being taken back there for burial.
