Ford, or “Uncle Jack,” as he was more wont to be called, passed from this earth to the Great Beyond at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. L Adamson, in this city, Friday afternoon last at about 5 o’clock, Aug. 12, 1904. Mr. Ford settled in Loup City in March, 1882, starting the first permanent lumber business of the town, which he conducted, with his son Morgan, for a number of years, afterward selling out and entering the stock business. He was a man of great push and energy and did an im mense volume of business, and many of our early settlers were indebted to “Uncle Jack” for needed assist ance which they received through his traffic by team from Grand Is land, St. Paul and Kearney, before a railroad was censtructed to Loup City. About four years ago his hpalth began to give away, since which time he has found a good home with his son-in law and daugh ter, who provided for him kindly and tenderly in his last days. “Un cle Jack,” looked his former self as ins laminar lace was upturned irom his pillow of death, and his old-time friends took their last leave of him, after which he was borne to Ever green cemetery and midst a fervent prayer by Rev. Madely and the tears of bis friends his body was consigned to Mother Earth. Jonathan D. Ford was born at Saratoga, N. Y., on the 30th day of April, 1830, being at the time of his death 74 years, 3 months and 12 days old. He was married to Miss Frances M. Prentiss in Saratoga county, New’ York, on the 19th day of June, 1854, and who still survives him. lu 1871, they moved to Vir ginia, and after tw’o years came to Nebraska, where they settled on a farm in Merrick county and lived up to the time they came to Loup City in 1882. In 1901 he went w’ith his daughter and family to Chey enne, where they staid about fifteen months and then returned to Loup City. He leaves his respected wife, one daughter and one son of his im mediate family. Card of Thanks.

George will take a needed thir ty days’ vacation and visit the scenes of his childhood. • While Frank Peterson was in town Wednesday morning, his team became frightned and ran awav, striking the big telephone pole at the southeast cor ner of the square, breaking it off close to the ground and without seeming in jury to team or wagon disappeared east and south toward home. They were going some. The accident disar ranged telephone connections for a tune to quite aq extent. Charley Gibson at Hong Kong. (Continued from Aag, 4.) May 14th, was one year since we cast our lines off the buoy at Brem erton and began our voyage to the Asiatic station. Well the torpedo boats have ar rived with their convoy the U. S. S Buffalo. These are the first boats of their kind that ever made such a voyage. The talk of late has been about the rumor of the navy de partment sending another squadron, which is to be called the second squadron. I will now endeavor to give you a sketch of our trip from Manilla to this port. Early on the morning of Friday, the 13th, we steamed from the tar get range to Cavite, where we dropped anchor before breakfast. Remaining in Cavite until Thurs day, the 19th, our anchor was again up and at 0:30, followed by the gun boats Vicksburg and Frolic, w’e steamed toward tue open sea. The Vicksburg, steaming at eight knots, soon dropped out of sight, but the Frolic followed closely as we proceeded northward along the coast of Luzon, until about 2 o’clock that afternoon when our course changed to westward and soon the little ship which continued on her northward course passed out of sight. There was little feeling of regret, as the mountainous coast of Luzon faded from view7. During the day several small sails were sighted and w*e passed a large English merchant steamer which was headed for Ma nilla. The weather eould not have been better, and the cool breeze which swept the ship had an excel lent effect on the crew7. Friday* w*as a pleasant, uneventful day, the weather continually becom ing cooler as we proceeded north. Shortly after breakfast on Saturday morning, several sails were sighted, which proved to be Chinese junks, and before long w7e found ourselves steami g through an immense fleet of this style of craft engaged in fishing. Shortly before 10 o’clock, we sighted the Island of Tampau off our portbow and soon the surf could be seen beating against the rugged rocks upon its shore, while junks and small boats became too numer ous to count. We were now headed for the Tat hong channel, which separates Tau hung from Hong Kong. A cool breeze was blowing off the coast, 3ml the grassy hills presented a contrast to the laud we had just left. Upon entering a harbor, the first thing a man-of-war looks to is the defense, and here, as wre steamed through the narrow Lyernust pass, the forts and guns on either aide, with the natural formation of the channel for defense, suggests the Asiatic Gibraltar as an appropriate name for Hong Kong. Hardly less than a stone’s throw to starboard lay the Kau Lung pe ninsula, whose rugged promento ries seemed chiseled by human hands. Hong Kong’s queen heights rise more gradual from the water’s edge, and upon their grassy slopes are erected long stone buildings, residences, schools, hotels and sol diers’ barracks. With apparently no point of egress, we steamed di rectly toward the rocks before us, when rounding a projecting point the channel became clear. Large factories and sugar refiner ies are built along the shore, which present a scene of great commercial activity. Cutting stone on the Kau Lung side of the channel continu ally employs an army of coolies, as the building in Hong Kong demands much stone. Ships of $11 classes are continu ally passing in and out of the har bor, while junks and sampau* almost block the entrance. Shortly after one o’clock we were moored to a buoy before the Kow loon dry docks, but later in the day were shifted to a buoy vacated by the U. S. S. Monitor Monterey, where we remained until about one o’clock the following day, when the tug Robert Cooke took us in the dry dock. As soon as the ship was secure in the dock, an army of cool ies surrounded the ship in punts, or a small square boat, and armed with scrapers attacked the barnacles on the ship’s side and bottom, scraping them clear as the punts descended j With the receding water trom the dock. One cannot restrain a feel ing of sympathy for these poor mor als, who work like slaves from day to day for a mere pittance, but they seem contented. They ravenously devour the refuse from our garbage barrels, which seems like a feast to them. The only object they have in life, it seems, is to procure some thing to eat. The work progressed rapidly, but darkness came before thei|keel was reached, so immense lights wrere rigged on the dock and the work w’ent on as though it were day. On the 26th we came out of dry dock and moored to the same buoy. > We are laying on the Kowloon side now, under repairs, but expect to move farther in as soon as repair ing is done. We coaled ship since we came out and gave general liberty. We had no sooner been secured in the Kowloon dock when the word w’as passed, “Shift into uniform all the liberty party.” The word wTas followed by a general state of con fusion. The gunboat Gallon arrived the 28th and also went in a dry dock. Well, I will close for this time, Yours, respt. Chas. E Gibson. Schaupp Siding John Fisher will thresh in a few days.
