Memorial.
Grace Hart McBee was born August 15th and died Jan. 27th, aged 1 year, .=5 month and 12 days. At an early hour ^Sunday morning the angel of death •entered the home of Martin and Laura TtfcBee and took away one of their little treasures. The shining lance ot skill and the broad shield of willing and valiant friends were interposed against the advance of the invading monster but he foiled them all. He did his worst but could ODly pierce the fragile body the mounting soul he has not touched. It is secure, a beautiful jewel in the crown of omnipotence forever pure, sweet, white little soul temptation had not allured or any sin stained it. a spark of the Infinite. It will glow brighter and brighter as eternity rolls on and on. It has demanded for some inscrutable purpose and born away on angel wings to its immortal home. We weep that she has been taken away but who does not know it would be cruelty to recall her. She has been saved the struggle of life tout will reach the same result as the strongest, bravest and noblest of all who live to fight it out to the end.
Who among the living would make the struggle if it could be justly avoided? Why then lament the fate of guiltless, sinless little Gracie—
Who is Bleeping, sweetly sleeping ]nti»r cold and silent grave, While loved ones here for her are weeping,
Her spirit at homo Is
Baved.
Though she's missed by all who knew her, By those who loved her well, Here on earth no more they'll see her
Up In Heaven she was called to dwell. OLIVE HART.
Another Appeal for Aid.
D. W. Kountree has received a letter from his brother-in-law, B. F. Durham, who is at Yuma, in Eastern Colorado, in which he says: "If you and your friends want to do a good deed of charity, gather up a car of seed oats or corn for feed, so our people can plant a crop. People cannot work their horses without feed, and they can't plant crops without seed. Seventy-five families in the western part of this count}' are in that shape. We have a cheap rate over the Burlington road, and we are trying to beg enough seed and pay the freight so they can plant a crop. If you were here and see the shape the people are in you would like the work. Prospects are good for a crop, as there is plenty of snow this Winter. I find there are plenty of generous people that so long as they are certain they are not being imposed upon are willing to help suffering humanity. If you ship bill it to Yuma Relief Committee and get as cheap rate to the Burlington as possible."
He »)ainn Not But Wholly Made Default.
Henry Watterson was to have lectured at Wingate last Monday and when the 4 o'clock train pulled in the whole town was at the station to welcome him and escort him to the hotel where enough poultry and pastry had been prepared to gorge a regiment. When the crowd began to tumble off there was a cry of "there he is!" and Col. Wingate ambling out folded in his arms a superanuated bum who crawled •out between the cars, but who blushingly acknowledged that there was an error. Watterson had not come, and notwithstanding the crowd waited •until 8:40 he didn't come. There was .probably a game on in Louisville with the ceiling the limit, and Henry was busy there.

In a moment it was enveloped in flames and ran around the room screaming. The mother ran in and before the fire could be extinguished the poor child was fatally burned. A doctor was dispatched for and gave medical aid, but to no avail. It could not survive the shock and died in two hours after being burned. a

Iteportg Encouraging from the County for a Full Car Load of Provisions.
The Nebraska Sufferers' Executive Committee met Wednesday at Superintendent Zuck's office, together with a good representation of the sub-com-mittees from out of town.

MONON, IND., May 10, 1894.
Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: GENTS—I think it my duty to send this statement to you of the benefit I have received from LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I have been afflicted for twenty years with stomach trouble of the severest nature. Would have seasons of the severest suffering from one to two months at a time. Between these times of suffering was never longer than three months. There was never any time that I was entirely free from misery more or less. These spells of great suffering would sometimes come on with sickness and vomiting, and other times would come on in form of rheumatism, but would finally center itself in my stomach. I have doctored with a great many physicians, but none of them could tell me what the trouble was. I was unable to get relief until I got LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. It is now sixty days since I began taking this medicine, and am now for the first time in twenty years free from pain and misery. I am compelled to say it is a blessing to a poor man.
