U. to draft resolutions on tHe death of Mrs. Harriet Studabaker, sub.nit the following: . Whereas, Death has for the first time invaded our immediate circle and taken from us our dear sister, Mrs. Harriet Studabaker, Therefore, .Resolved, That in her demise our Union has lost a cherished and loved friend, society a valued ornament, her church a courageous heart and ever-helping hand, her family its strong support. She was a devoted friend to the cause of temperance and loathed that system, the inevitable results of which are to undermine character, to drag to infamy the young and unwary, and which antagonizes all efforts in the direction of good citizenship, morality and religion. Her lovely traits of character endeared her to a large circle of friends, and she was so much a part of all the interests of our city, that we did not dream that we could lose her, or that the activities of life could move on without her, but « “The earth moves on. Moves on—and yet, beneath its dark and heavy sod. Bending below affliction's withering, crushing rod. Her soul's sweet tenement we lately laid away, / As dark to us that grave—so seemed our earthly day.” Butearth moves on. All life goes on. That this would ever ne we did not, could not think. We thought all feet would tarry, as her feet □ pressed the brink, All earthly hands be folded,-as her hands waved good-bye; . All human eyes look heavenward, as her eyes turned on high. > But life goes on. "Must we live on Without the light of eyes whose brightness paled the stars, Without the help of hands that softened all earth’s jars, And feet that never faltered in this life’s ~ earnest tread. Her whole life weaving with and strengthening thread? Must we live on? “Yes, we live on. While from the frail, worn elay her soul is / fell, . Her eyes angelic now, looks down on you and.me, She still is busy through the celestial hours. Wearing a heavenly life that links with ours. Thus we live on.” We commend her family the tender care of that living Father in whom she trusted. An interesting letter was received by our Union from Mrs. Rev. Jay Dorwin, now of Evanston, 111., describing a social which she attended at the home of Frances E. Willard. There will be a meeting of the Union on Thursday evening the 2nd of July, to a r range for the dinner to be given by the W. C. T. U. on the 4th. All come. Steele Items. Laura Longenbcrger is suffering from the effect of a broken limb. While enjoying herself with the rest of the young folks at Lorenzo Tinkham’s one night last week, she and another got into a swing and while swinging her foot slipped when ten feet from the ground and she fell with all force to the ground, breaking the right femur half way between the knee and hip joint and stunning her very badly. Dr. Christy was called nd set the broken limb which seems to be doing well at this date. Z. B Woods and son, of Sandusky, O.> are in our midst calling on friends and relatives. Mr. Woods was one of the old ■settlers of Bluecreek and lived by the side of commissioner Henry Stacy. Although opposite in politics they were firm friends and neighbors. Reuben Campbell is home again after hearly a year absent at school. He is studying for the ministry. We wish him t success. Dr. O. T. May, of Monroe, otft - county coroner, will preach at this place next Monday evening. Everybody invited. The people of this place have papered and carpeted their church anew and have fixed up everything nice and inviting to the old and young. Wm. Waggoner, postmaster of Berne, was at this place Tuesday on business. We learned from him while here that his sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Bolinger, of French township, formerly of Bluecreek, was very ill with no prospects of recovery. 4th July Excursion Rates.

Attention Officers. ■ A ga.ig of h■ ni >st impudent: and persistent begging t «>mp» ,wno Lave ever in tested our city have been annoj i:ig» the housewives livi .g in that part of the citlying between the public square and thi railroad and v e presume el>e a here as well for a couple o: days past. Some of these felio as are working the old clothes racket, and want any and everything, from a pair of second-ham overshoes to silk underclothing, and even when repeatedly told there is nothing in the house for them, they persist in de manding that the lady shall go and make another and closer-search. One of these fellows, who was unusallv well dressed, for a tramp, when his attention was called to the fact, replied that he did not want the clothes for himself, but for a pal, who was unable to call himself, as, while lying beside a camp-fire in the woods just out of town the night before, he had rolled over too t ear and had his pants burned so badly that he was unable to make a presentable appearance in the company of ladies, and he had therefore delegated his companion to beg him a pair of pants by proxy. The fellow was exceedingly importunate in his demands and declined to leave until the lady threatened to go for help and have him “removed. During the same afternoon no fewer than four of these cusses called at this same house, three of them demanding old clothes, while but one w as hungry enough to ask for something to eat. The tramp nuisance is once more becoming a very great nuisance, and the city officials should use all due vigilauce to protect the ladies from the impositions practiced upon them by these fellows, who would starye rathe 1 than do an honest day’s work. Specimen Cases. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach was disordered, his liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly'reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a running sore on his leg of eight years’ standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Cataba, 0., had five large fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bottle of Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold by A. R. Pierce, druggist. Assessments. The following table shows the assessment of personal and real estate for taxation of the several townships and corporations for the year 1891. The appraisement of real estate will be considerably ra sed in several townships, and especially Blue Creek. The’appraisment is about onehalf higher this year than last: ■ IJWWSSWsSMS < SsMfiisslsSSsMlßsi s. —— 2 «' jS ® fife ’ r “ l 40 O 'ibis IB so «ss g. ||j| f Efc ’ IMWWWWW T |||| S ~ -e CC • •. • fl ! r C ; : ; !

S ) is the natural result of the tests to w hich the public has put it. The merits of the medicine have remained the same, but the knowledge of the people with respect to its remarkable curative properties has increased until now thera Is a demand for it wherever the English language is spoken. S. S. S. was first offered as a specific for contagious blood poison. For that it was, and is, truly a specific. But it is now regarded, wherever its virtues are known, as a true specific for all forms of blood disease. Whole columns could be fiyed with testimonials to this effect. Thomas Shields, janitor of the court house, tested the boiler last Monday to 160 pounds water pressure, which is equal to about 200 pounds of steam. The boiler is pronounced perfectly safe and is good for many years to come. A Husband’s Mistake. Husbands too often permit wives, and parents their chi'dren, to suffer from headache, dizziness, neuralgia, sleeplessness, fits, nervousness, when by the use of Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine such serious results could easily be prevented. Druggists every w here say it gives univeral satisfaction, and has an immense sale. Woodworth & Co, Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Snow & Co., of Syracuse, N. Y.; J. C. Wolf, of Hillsdale, Mich., and hundreds of others say "It is the greatest seller they ever knew.” It contains no opiates. Trial bottles and fine book on nervous diseases free at W. H. Nachtrieb’s.
