When leaving they stat ed that it was with reluctance, since during all their travels both in tor- eign countries and in America, they had never found a more delightful place for recuperation and enjoy ment. The pure cold water, the in vigorating atmosphere, properly tern- pered for comfort, the beautiful park and scenery did it all. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Reames, Mr.' and Mrs. John Orth, Mra.

Carpenter, Liberty street, died Sun day morning at 3:30 after a long ill ness of tuberculosis. Miss Carpenter was born February 22nd, 1888, at Forest River, North Dakota, where she grew to woman hood and was universally loved for her sweet disposition and helpful life. At the age of 9 she united with the First Presbyterian Church of Forest River and ever since has been an active worker especially in the Christian Endeavoj Society, and a consistent Christian. As soon as they discovered the presence of the dread ‘White Plague,” her parents brought her West, hoping a change of climate might benefit her and they were in Eastern A^ashingtcp a short time, coming to Ashland last January. In all her suffering she was very pa tient and uncomplaining and fell sweetly asleep, awaking, we are sure, tn the presence of him whom she served so faithfully acre. Saturday she received a box from her old C. E. friends in North Dakota, containing many beautiful remembrances and expressions of the love and apprecia tion of her life-long companions. The funeral service was held from her late home on Liberty street, Monday, August 2nd, 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. Ward W. Mac- Henry, pastor First Presbyterian church and the interment was In Mountain View Cemetery. A quartet from the church choir furnished ap propriate music.

C.—The House Satuduy adopted the conference re port on the tariff bill, 195 to 183 Tweúy. Republicans voted against the eport and two Democrats for it. The entire Pacific Northwest delega tion, except Poindexter, of Washing ton, voted for the bill. Minn of Illinois, in a sensational spee'h said he would vote against the report unless the rates on pulp and print paper as reduced by the hous, were retained. He declared that Canada would take such action regarding pulp wood and print paper as tn plact} an almost prohibitory price upon paper in this country Payne appealed to his Republican colleagues to stand by the bill, say ing that if they wanted to drive their party into chaos they could vote against it. But he said it would be a delusion to vote against the bill upon I he idea that the Dingley rates would be continued. Payne estimates that the increase of revenue that would result from the enactment of the bill will be $4 0.000.000 annually. Average Rate Higher. Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, said President Taft had been imposed on by being made to believe that the conference report was really a revision downward. Clark sub mitted a table showing that th? av erage rate of the report is 1.73 per cent higher than the average rate of the Dingley law. If scores of new items In the report, but not in the Dingley law. were added, Clark said, the average increase would be at least 2 per cent.

London, Aug. 2.—Messages re received here are to the effect that Spanish troops had been repulsed in a collision with revolutionaries at Barcelona and that the insurgents have proclaimed a republic. A meet ing of Carlist leaders has been held at Figueras and the arrival is ex pected of the pretender. Don Jaime de Bourbon, iu order to place bun self at the head of the rebellion.
