Wbei the Death Angel Claimed His Soul.
From Wednesday's Daily. Wm. Lamb, father of Mrs. John H. Beatty died at his daughter's home some time during the early morning hours. For the past six years he had resided with Mr. and Mrs. Beatty at their home on South Lincoln street, and had been afflicted with
rheumatism and heart trouble
He retired as usual last night, and
it was during the early hours of the morning that Mr. Beatty was
awakened bv a severe spell of
coughing on the part of Mr.
Lamb in an adjoining room.
When this had ceased Mr. Beattv
gave the matter no more attention
and resumed his slumber. The
family breakfasted as usual about 6 o'-clock and did not venture in
Mr. Lamb's room to awaken him,
thinking, perhaps, he was asleep
It was about 7:30 when Mrs. Beatty thought she would pall her
father for breakfast, and on enter
ing the room found him cold in
death. Deceased was 76 years of age, and was born in Lafayette in 1823, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jas. Lamb. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Smith of Lafayette
in 184:0 and by this union three daughters were born, only one surviving him, Mrs. John H. Beatty. He removed to Bloom -ington with his wife in 1887 and has since resided here, his wife dying some seven years ago. He has been an invalid for the past four years He was greatly liked by all who knew him, for he possessed a faculty of making friends. The funeral will occur from the residence of Mr. Beatty, South Lincoln street, tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 p. m., the interment being at Rose Hill.

proceeded to break up and destroy the furniture. They overturned tables and stoves, and, cot being satisfied with this work, they brutally beat the old man and his wife, the latter sustaining injuries of a senous nature, from th hands of the mob.

Expired Suddenly. From Tuesday's Daily. Sallie, wife of Asa Peterson, die , suddenly this morning at her home on South Euclid avenue, o heart trouble. For some time th deceased has been in ill health, though she was able to be uj town and do her Christmas shop

The disorderly conduct at the Christmas tree Saturday night was disgust ing- and disgraceful in the extreme. We boast of our intelligence and civi -ization, and yet such conduct would not be allowed in a second-class thatre in many places. It shows a lack of respect for the church and yet we are expjeted to do our part in helping to christianize the Filipinos and other heathen. We need a missionary here. J. C. C.
