He was laid to rest with his family in the cemetery on the lerre Haute road. Thus passes away one of the pioneers that battled with all the hardships of the eariv days of the settling of this county.

Beautiful toiler, thy work nil done, Beautiful soul unto glory jfouo Beautiful life with its crown now won

God givoth the rest.

Best from ull sorrow, and watching,and fears Kest from all possible sighing and tears, Kest through Qod'seudless. wonderful years,

At home with the blest.

"It was 60 sudden," our white lips said, "How we shall miss him, the beautiful dead, Who takes the place of the precious oue tied

But God knoweth best

We know He watches the sparrows that fall Hears the sad cry of the grieved hearts that call. .Friends, mother, children, Heloveth them al\

We can trust for the rest."

THE ELECTION LAWS.

Their Repeal to Be Attempted at This Session.

AN IMPORTANT VOTE IN THE SENATE.

Attempt of the Sliver Advocate* for Delay Defeated—Vice President Stevenaon Decides Against Them—The

House Rules Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Attacks on the election laws are soon to be made in the house, when Mr, Springer (dera., 111.) will introduce a duplicate of Senator Hill's bill. It is said that President Cleveland has tfiven assurances that he will readily sign, when it reaches him, any measure to repeal the federal election laws. The bill will soon be reached on the senate calendar? in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—In the senate a bill was introduced by Senator Cullom, (rep., 111.), and referred to the finance committee, for the repeal of all acts for the creation or maintenance of aosinking fund.

The resolution for the 11 o'clock meeting was presented, and Senator Voorhees (dem., Ind.) who offered it, withdrew it, stating that he did so after consultation with friends of the repeal bill on the democratic side, who thought that if the time of the senate were occupied carefully and conscientiously as much progress could be made.

Senator Morgan's (dem., Ala.) resolution for a joint select committee on finance was taken up, and Senator Voorhees having suggested its reference to the finance committee Senator Morgan argued against the suggestion, stating that the purpose of the resolution was to supersede the finance committee in each house and substitute a joint select committee for them.

When Senator Morgan closed his speech Senator Voorhees moved to take up the repeal bill. Objection was made by Senators Morgan, Harris and others as being an unfair way of displacing the resolution. After some colloquy the vote was taken on Senator Voorhees' motion, and it was agreed to yeas, 37 nays, 21.

Mr. Stevenson Roles for the Bill. The vice president then ruled that the bill was before the senate by virtue of its being the unfinished business as well as by virtue of the vote just taken.

Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) then took the floor and continued his speech of Tuesday. After talking an hour he paused for a rest and Senator Teller (rep., Col.) came to his aid by suggesting the absence of a quorum. The roll was called and (a majority of senators trooping in from the cloak rooms) fiftynine senators answered.

Senator Teller explained his reason for calling attention to the absence of a quorum. He insisted that those who opposed the measure should be heard and that the friends of the measure should be in the chamber while it was being discussed. There had not been a member of the finance committee who was in favor of the bill in the chamber for the last hour. He intended while this debate went on to see that there was a quorum present.

Stewart Still Has the Floor. Senator Stewart then resumed the floor, and, showing no symptoms of bringing his speech to a close at 5 p. m., Senator Voorhees (his patience apparently exhausted) asked him whether he wished to continue his remarks during the evening. The reply was that he hoped to be excused. Senator Voorhees then said that with the senator's permission he would move to proceed to executive business. The motion was agreed to and after a short executive session the senate adjourned.

A RUMOR SETTLED.

SOME SAID THAT IT COULD NOT BE DONE.

All Watted with Deep Interest and Breathless Anxiety.

Proved a Mighty and Invincible Conqueror at Last.

A rumor had gained circulation that the well known Edward T. Feron, Esq., of 507 East 81 St., New York City, was utterly broken down in health, had become unable to attend to his duties and was really in a condition beyond cure.

Over twenty doctors had examined and treated his case, and all were forced to give up and acknowledge that his case was beyond their Bkill.

Then the remark was made that here was a test case for the great and popular medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervtira blood and nerve remedy. It is of course a widely known fact that this wonderful remedy rarely if ever fails to onre, but could even its marvelous curative powers restore health in this most serious case?

The Nervura was used and everybody watched its effects with deep interest and almost breathless anxiety.

We will give Mr. Feron's own version of the affair. "For five years," he said, "I have been running down, gradually losing my health and strength at last I got very bad and was troubled with pains in my back and around my heart.

MR. EDWARD T. FERON.

"I could not sleep at night. I grew so weak that I WHS obliged to stop work "I had tried more than twenty doc tors, but they could do me no good, BO I gave it up as a bod job. "Then the great medicine, Dr.Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was suggested to me, and I took a bottle of it.
