Commoner,

MOST of the people in Indiana, per-! haps, would favor the establishment of: a whipping post for the punishment of I wife beaters and offenders of like char-1 acter. But few will agree with tbe sweeping character of the legislative bill providing for the post. If tho law is passed it should be within reason.

a place in the Indiana legislature, has

introduced a resolution to the effect that the constitution follows the flag and calling on the federal authorities to take note of the fact. This savors somewhat of a declaration of state's rights. The federal authorities will probably look after their own affairs without suggestions from the states.

SEVERAL of the old rebel states have, through the doubtful medium of their legislatures, passed resolutions of sympathy with the Filipino rebels. A tellow feeling makes them wondrous kind.

THE State University asks in addition to its regular yearly hold up the sum of $150,000 to erect a science hall and $7,500 more to equip it. Capt. Kidd must be president of this interesting private affair that so cheekily yelps for public support.

FRKU school books! Why not free clothes, free liv.ioh, free tops and marbles. free chewing gum? To what absurd conclusion may not this socialistic and vicious doctrine be carried? The spirit of empire may not be upon us but the spirit of government paternalism certainly is.

THE commission on state institutions has recommended that the property of the State University be deeded to the state. It is now private property and as such has been receiving each year from the tax payers vast sums of money to be lavished on the rock ribbed hills of sequestered Monroe county.

Mary A. Coons.

Mary A. Coons was born Augusts, 1855, and died January 20, 1901, being 45 years, 4 months and 12 days of age. She, with her twin brother Jesse, was the oldest of the nine children-of John I\. Coons:—Jesse. Mary, James, Nancy, Catherine, Francis, Belle and Emma

by his first wife, Marjory Elizabeth Yancleave, and Myrtle, by his second wife, Amelia Blackwell. Of these, James died when he was about two years old, the rest, except sister Nancy and the half-sister, Myrtle, are here today. Her mother died when she was lljyears old,.leaving to her) the care of the house and younger children, a great responsibility for one so young, but one that she discharged with true heroism. On her father's second marriage, when she was 14 years of°age, she removed to her grandparents' and made her home with them until they both passed away. Since her grandfather's death, in 18!)6, she has made her home with her brother and sisters and her aunt Nan. When 17 years of age she obeyed the gospel and became a membec_of the church of Christ at Indian Creek, Montgomery county, Indiana. This brightest of all profes-

It can be truly said of her, "She hath done what she could," "She hath cast in her two mites into the Lord's treasury,"' "Good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, will make thee ruler of many, enter thou into the joy of.-thy Lord.", The constant, kindly, helpful 'ministry? that shelgave her grandfather and grandmother heaven only knows and -heaven can only adequately reward. A'ministry that continued through years and years and became brighter every year. Here is a striking proof of an unseen hand outstretched to",sustain under theimost trying circumstances, those who trust in God, a poor, weak child coming down to death's river through a long, dark valley of intense suffering without ever wavering, leaning on the promises of God's holy book and finding support. She had no enemies. She loved all. She carried nobtreasury for ill-feeling. She scattered charity and forgiveness on every'hand. She was exceedingly grateful to those who were so kind and helpful to her in bearing her trials and atllictions. She disposed of her simple possessions with the same care and thoughtfulness that a man distributes millions, but did not forget to mention the church, requesting that her dues be paid for 1901. She was willing to die. Her suffering being intense, she prayed, the Lord willing, that she might be released. She said at the last, "I don't want to barely get into heaven, I want an abundant en-

During the past week frequent fires have been kindled by sparks from the railroad engines and have done considerable damage On Sunday afternoon it came near burning the residence of James Bannon, northeast of town, while the family was away from home, but luckily it was saved by friendly neighbors.

Adrian Ogle was riding a horse with halter on Sunday evening and it became unmanageable and ran away. Adrian wanted to go down Wall street, but the horse concluded to go down the railroad track, the result being that Adrian received a heavy fall, lighting upon his face on the board crossing between the rails, stunning him severely and bruising his face to a considerable extent, but he was able to be out this week.

John joined the chasecaught up—no damage done.

Ellis Pickering died at his home four miles south of here last week and was buried at the Friends' cemetery Saturday. Mr. Pickering was an early settler and had been a hard working man, but for some years he had been a broken down old man, his mind failing faster than his body. He was a great charge to those who cared for him, and his daughter and husband deserve great praise for their untiring care of him to the day of his death. He died at the advance age of 79 years.

William Price died at his home in Sugar Creek township Tuesday evening at the age of 63 years. William Price was the only son of George and Malinda Price, who came to this county in an early day. William was brought up to work and on the day of his death had tbe reputation of being the hardest worker in- the township, frequently doing the work of two good hands. When the country called for volunteers in 1801 he was among the first to respond, and entered the 40th Indiana as a private in Company K, and was accredited to Thorntown, Ind. He served with distinction and was promoted in the company from time to time until on June 25, 1865, he was discharged as 1st Lieut, of his company. He was a pensioner at the rate of $17 per month, and we have seen him suffer untold agony at times from the effects of his army life, but his indomitable will would not let him give UD until he died possessed of some 200 acres of as good land as the township can boast. Soon after coming home from the army he was married to Anna Boots, oldest daughter of Asa Boots. To them were born two children, a son and daughter, when death entered the family circle and mother and children were soon taken and he was again alone. After some two years he married Josephine Brooks, to them was born a daughter, who with her mother are left to mourn. Several years ago he joined 3he Dunkard church, known as White church, since which time he has lived a consistent Christian, and been a worthy member of the church of his choice. He was a kind father, a good neighbor, a loving husband, a patriotic and loyal citizen, and the township loses one of her best citizens. The funeral was eonducted at the White church, Rev. Charles Campbell officiating. A large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbors followed the remains to the Peterson cemetery where he was laid to rest beside his loved ones gone before.
