My dear Mr. Kennedy ; I am
writing you today at the request of
your son who is anxious you should
know that ho is gutting along nice
ly , Ho was shot in the right
shoulder , the bullet entering a little
above the lung and coming out at
the back. Of course the wound is
a serious one , but it , is by no means
so serious as it would have boon a
few years ago before the day of
ascoptic surgery and there is little
doubt but that he will bo up and
about in a very short time.
Ho is more than bravo and 1 am
sure you would fool very proud
could you see the manly wiiy in
which ho boars his pain. But rest
ai-suod , Mr.Kennedy , that your boy
will have the best of surgical care
and nursing , while we women who
visit the ward will look after him ,
too , and see that ho lacks nothing.
In a few days ho will bo able to
write you himself , but of course at
present ho is very weak from the
shock and with much excitement
his one thought seems to bo of the
people at homo , realizing how much
you will worry when you hear
through the cable dispa'olics that
his name is numbered among the
dead. It was through some care
lessness , I believe , another Kennedy
having died and your boy escaping
with only a eorions wound.
Love from your son to all the dear
0'ics nt home , and with renewed
assurances that he will be looked af
ter as well as so bravo an American
soldier deserves. I3oliovo mo.
Very Sincerely Yours.

Hiidden death nf Mrs , Anna 1C.
Upencoof SallLakoCity which took
place on May 10th 180 ! ) the deceas
ed wan well and favorably known in
Broken Bow and vicinity for about
ten years. For several years Mr.
and Mrs. Spence lived in the Finlen
house in the south p'irt of the city
and more latterly conducted a pri
vate hotel in the Realty Block.
UoHts of people know Mrs. Speuco
as an unusually , hopeful , pleasant
and cheerful woman.
She was an arduous worker and
manager determined lo succeed in
every undertaking to which she put
her hand.
In October last the family moved
to Salt Lake City whore three mar
ried daughters and two HOIIH resided
being Mrs. Wlnpplo , Mrs. Royal 0
Meeker , Mrs. Wolfe and Will and
Charlie , Motiroo who n still in the
Philippine Islands. During her
sioknonH Mrs. Spence often talked
-'Roe" and longed to HOO the bo >
again.
She was quite well pleased with
her now home , but unfortunately
has not had much opportunity ol
seeing or enjoying the place. A
cancerous growth in the gall duct
had boon slowly maturing lor a few
yoarH past. This condition reached
a crisis about a month ago. Throe
or four physicians were called in
consultation and the conclusion of
opinion was that an operation wat
immediately nccctisary.
On Saturday May 13th Dr. Root
[ cousin of the Puroolls of Broken
How ) performed the operation at
the Holy Cross Hospital i'i Salt
[ jake City. She rallied in evening
and hopes ol her recovery were
entertained. But alas ! her physical
strength was not equal lo the
strain. Ou Sunday evening she
grow woruo and on Monday it was
'vidont that only a short time on
arth remained to her. The Rov.
Joorgo Bailey her pastor in Broken
Jew and moro recently in Salt
jake , was prosout with the family
when she passed away.
She died a most peaceful death
without the suggestion of a struggle
or a fear. Her faith sustained her
n the trying hour and her triumph
ant exclamation was { 1O1 God My
losrt in Fixed. "
The fiiuor.il took place on i burs-
lay Ma ) 18th from the family re
sidence attended by a largo number
of friendf and former Nebraskans.
The Westminster church choir sung
appropriate selections and Mr.
I3ciloy preached from the words :
'Blessed are the dead which die in
lu Lord from hence forth , yea
saith the spirit for they rest from
their labors and ihoir works do
follow them. "
In a beautiful lot in the picturesque
Mt. Olivel cemetery they laid her
away to rest in sure and certain
hope of the resurrotion 10 eternal
life through Jusus Christ our Lord.
Mrs. Spence was 51) years old
Febuary 12th ol the present year.
In May 1859 she was united in
marriage to Mr. J. Spcnoo and from
this Union 12 children were born ,
four of whom have long since
'fallen " Five
asleep daughters
and three sons remain. In 1889
they moved from Illinos to Broken
Bow. No ono over anticipated the
Had end would como so soon. She
waa an ex omplary wife a good and
thonghtfnl mother and a connistorit
chriiUun.

To whom it may concern :
Through frhrowdncss and jealousy combined of a few
of the would-be eminent physicians of Broken Bow. I have
been placed in rather a humiliating position , and have been
compelled to discjntinuo for tbe piesent , the practice of Magnetic -
netic Healing J3y order of the court , 1 am compelled to re
main hero for appearance at the next term of court , and show
cause why T should not forever cease to be a public benefactor.
As regarding my ability to give relief to the afflicted , I
would respectfully refer to Mrs. James Wright , of Broken
Bow , Mr. A. Trout , of Merna , Mrs. Russell , of Broken How ,
L. L Francis , of Broken Bow , and many others whose names
I will gladly furnish upon application. The physicians re ' *
ferred to above have saw lit to take ad vantage of a slight tec-
nicality of the law ; ami by so doing , they have not only said
to the public , we cannot cure you , but we will not allowothors
to do so. And such being the case , in the best interests of all
concerned , I have decided to discontinue lo practice Magnetic
Healing in Broken Bow. During my stay in the city , I can
be found at the Commercial Hotel , where I will be pleated to
meet my many friends , and will teach the art of Magnetic
Healing to those who wish to learn.
Hoping that I may bo remembered in .the future as in
the past , Command mo further with the highest respect ,
Yours Truly , prof. O. G. SOFIELD ,
