While the people there were "housed-up' 1 in this inconvenient and unpleasant style, St. Joseph was enjoying good weather generally.

Blizzards are not known in this section. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Kane opened their pleasant home, at the head of State street, on last Friday evening, to a happy company of young people from both sides of the river, who passed a most enjoyable evening.

G. A. Frost, who accompanied Mr. Kennan on his trip through Asiatic Russia, will begin in the May Century. Their appearance has been deferred on account of the author's desire to group in preliminary papers--the last of which will be in the April Century--an account of the conditions and events in Russia directly related to the exile system.

This system is now to be minutely described and elaborately pictured; and by way of preface to the first illustrated paper Mr. Kennan will, in a brief statement, answer the question as to how he came to enter upon his arduous and somewhat perilous investigations, and why he and his companion were accorded such extraordinary facilities by the Russian Government itself. In the April Century Mr Kennan will write of -'The Russian Penal Code." Prohibition caucus to night. School vacation for one week.

Attorney Watson has collected the proper evidence md forwarded the same to Washing- ion. It appears from the proceedings that St.

The Niles Republican says of this "mass" convenion: "They appointed delegates to a State convention, and adopted a reso- ution recommending the running of Bounty and township tickets.

Republican Caucus. There was a large attendance at the Republican caucus in the City Hall, on Monday evening. Capt. Botham, as chairman of the old township committee, called the meeting to order, when H. B.

Rosenberg was made Chairman, and J. R. Clarke Secretary. Nominations for Supervisor were then in order, Messrs. J.

A. Donaldson, Dr. Stratton and A. O. Winchester being mentioned.

An earnest and close vote on these men followed for several ballots, when Mr. Donaldson finally secured the nomination by a margin of a few votes. There was a ballot for nearly every of- iiee, the ticketfinally being completed as follows: For Supervisor--John A. Donaldson; Clerk--Harry Stone; Treasurer --George Kissinger; Highway Commissioner--John F. Gard; Justice of the Peace--Amandus O.Winchester; School Inspector Frederick Kupperness; Drain Commissioner-- Hiram Wilson; Constables John Heilman, Gabriel A.

Snyder, John Mergenthaler, Harry LaPlahn. All the constables with the exception of the last named were chosen by acclamation. LaPlahn's nomination was contested by Edward Poynes, who received 56 votes to La- Plahn's 62. This vote was challenged by Poynes on account of many Democrats, who had come in from the Democratic caucus, casting ballots, against the rule of the caucus, for LaPlahn. Not being heard, however, by the Chairman, it was not recognized.

A good deal of dissatisfaction was manifested over the nomination. It is probable that the matter will be carried with earnestness to the ballot box. The caucus aimed to and did make, as a whole, excellent nominations, and being capable and worthy the Republicans propose to make an earnest effort to elect their candidates. The new township committee are-Jas. Brooks, Harry Stone and Louis Schulz.

Obituary. A feeling of sincere sorrow was felt by this community on Monday morning over the announcement of the death, at about 7 a. of Mr. John L. Heartt, who had been very ill for over two weeks with typhoid fever.

John Lake Heartt was born in Ypsilanti, on Feb. 10,1865, and came to St. Joseph with his parents in the fall of 1878. He was in every re an honest, upright and true young man. He graduated from the St.

Joseph High School in 18S3. Soon after his arrival here he presented a letter of ihurch membership to the Congregational Church in this place, lie was only a boy of 13 years, but the boy was he father of the man. Asa boy, a youth and a young man he maintained Christian character and strove to live a consistent Christian life. He was active in church work and ever ready to be useful in the affairs of the church. He was for some time Secretary of the Sunday-school and an active member of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor.

He was naturally of a happy disposition, greatly loved by his family and all who knew him. In business he was a suc- integrity guided him in all ais duties. He was a successful fruit farmer, making the grape a specialty, and was recognized as a leader in improved modes of culture of the same. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents and the two brothers and sister. May the good Lord sustain them in this severe trial.

Although out 23 years of age when he died Mr. Heartt has left an example that young men would do well to follow His life and career was thort but a true and noble one. The funeral services were onducted by the Rev. J. V.

Ilickmott at the family residence. The family desire to express their gratitude for the sindness of so many friends who came to help in their deep sorrow, to the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and others for beautiful floral offerings, and all that loving hearts and hands could do up to the last sad rites they will ever gratefully remember. George W. Olds, a cooper by trade, died Sunday morning, after a pro- onged illness with consumption, in the 57th year of his age. He leaves a wife and four children--a son and three daughters--all respected residents of St.

Joseph. A brother, L. M. Olds, and a sister, Mrs. J.

W. Wilson, also reside here. His funeral services were held on Monday, from the M. E. Church, Rev.

It may as well be said now as at some future time that Royalton will not be saddled with a tax or assume any expense toward building a bridge across the St.

Joseph river for the ben- fit of the east side of the river. The taxpayers of Royalton are not built in that shape. Union War Songs and Confederate Officers. The reading' of Mr. Bnmder of the War," in the August number of the Century, vividly recalls to mind an incident of my own experience which seems to me so apt an illustration of the effect of army songs upon men that 1 venture to send it to you, as I remember it, after twenty-five years.

A day or two after Lee's surrender in April. 1865. I left our ship at Dutch Gap, in James river, for a run up to Richmond, where I was joined by the ship's surgeon, the paymaster and one of the juriio officers. After "doing" Richmond pretty thoroughly we went in the evening to my rooms for dinner. Dinner being over and the events of the day recounted, the doctor, who wns a fine player, opened the piano, saying: "Boys, we've got our old quartette here; a sing." As the house opposite WHS occupied by paroled Confederate officers, no patriotic songs were sung.

Soon the lady of the house (landed me this note: "Compliments of General nnd stuff. Will the gentlemen i a us to come over and hear them sing? Of course we consented, and they came. As the General entered the room, I recognized instantly the face and figure of one who stood second only to Lee or Jackson in the whole Confederacy. After introductions and the usual interchange of civilities, we sang for them glees and college songs, until at last the General said: "Excuse me, gentlemen, you sing delightfully, but what we want to hear is your army songs." Then we gave them the army songs with i "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "John Brown's Body," We're Coming Father Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," through the whole catalogue to the "Star-Spangled which many a foot beat time as if it had never stepped to any but the "music of the closed our concert with "Rally Itound the Flag, Boys." When the applause had subsided, a tall, line-looking fellow in a Major's uniform exclaimed: "Gentlemen, if we'd had your songs we'd have licked you out of your Who couldn't huye marched or fought with such songs? While we had nothing, absolutely nothing, except a bastard the Blue and which were nothing but jigs. 'Maryland, my a splendid song, but I he true, old 'Lauriger was about as inspiring as the 'Pead March in while every one of the Yankee songs is full of marching and lighting spirit." Then, turning to the General, he said: "I shall never forget the first time I heard 'Rally Round the 'Twas a nasty night during the 'Seven and if 1 remember rightly it was raining.

I was on picket, when, just before some fellow on the other side struck up that song and others joined in the chorus until it seemed to me the whole iTankee army was singing. Tom who was with me, sung out, 'Good heavens. Cap. what are those fellows made of, anyway? Here we've licked 'enu six days running, and now on the eve of the seventh they're singing'Hally Round the I am not naturally superstitious, but I tell you that song sounded to me like the of and my heart went down into my boots; and though I've tried to do my duty, it has been an uphill fight with me ever since that night." The little company of Union singers and Confederate auditors, aftera pleasant and interesting interchange of stories of army experiences, then separated and as the General shook hands at parting, lie to roe: "Wei the lime may come when we can all sing the 'Star Spangled Banner' again." I have not seen him since. A rate of one fare and a third has been made by the Cincinnati.
