Jobo L Ladwick, of this city: “Mrs. Ester Combs, who died at her home in this city, Tuesday morning, Nov 19, was taken to Warsaw Wed- nesday morning The deceased was born in the state of Ohio, February 14, 1831, and at the time of her death was 70 years and nine months oll.

Remains Well Preserved Though Buried Forty-Five Years Ago. When the relatives of the deceased concluded to have their remuins re- hoved, they found it quite ditticult to locate the exact spots at which their mortal parts slept. The graves were located, however, after a search of two or three days, and the remains found. Strange to say, the body of Mra. Curtis, though it had been asleep in death for nearly half acentury, was in almost a perfect state of preserva- tion, She was in a metalic cusket and when the cover was removed that protected the glass frontis-piece of the cotfia, those who looked won- dered if their gyes were not deceiving them. Asif in peaceful slumber she lay, with+yes and lips closed, present- ing a most natural appearance. Shortly’ afterward, however, the body began to turn dark and the lips parted, the supposition being that, though the cover proper to thecasket. had not been removed, air in some manner found its way into the box when e meta ap the glass over the face was displaced. * The only remains of the children found were the bones”and teeth, They had been buried in wooden cof- fins and the march of time had had effect upon them that could not ap- ply to contents of the metal case.

Philippine Outlook. _Sgpmenee _DeArmond’s inter. p the Ph ution giv. ento a Republic representative in San Francisco immediately upon the Missouri Congressman’s return from those islands, is discouraging to the average American, The truth seems all too obvious that the United States Government has a mort embarrassing problem to solve, and one which will require a wenry time That the Filipinos are unfit for self-government is the ver dict contained in Judge DeArmond’s interview. The Missourian even re- grets that they have been accorded 80 much recognition in the civil gov- ernment now established under Amer- ican control. In Judge DeArmond’s expressions one may perceive also his belief that the Filipinos are well-nigh certain to prove an insurgent people for many years tocome.
