The Cl re nt Through Car Line. Itis a well established fact that the North-Western Line (Chicago & NorthWestern B’y) in its equipment and train service, its general facilities for the accommodation of all classes of travel, and its methods of looking after the comfort and welfare of its patrons, takes rank with the leading railways of the world. Its through car lines extend from Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, the “Twin Cities of the North west;” to Duluth, the Superiors, Ashland, Marquette and the wonderful iron and copper regions of northern Wisconsin and Michigan; to Winona, Pierre, and the rich agricultural sections of Minnesota and the Dakotas; to Des Moines, Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, the prosperous and growing cities of lowa and Nebraska; to Deadwood, the Dakota Hot Springs, and the famous mining districts of the Black Hills; to Colorado , and Utah; to San Francisco, Cal.; Portland, Oregon, and Pacific Coast and Puget Sound points. The perfectly equipped vestibuled trains of the North-Western Line convey the traveler comfortably, safely and quickly to nearly every part of the West and North-west, and while one may travel surrounded by all of the luxuries afforded by an equipment of magnificent sleeping cars, buffet smoking and library casts, compartment sleeping cars, the superb dining cars, the comfort and convenience of passengers desiring to travel at small expense is promoted by the provision of accommodation for their use in Tourist Sleeping Cars, Free Beclining Chair Cars and commodious day coaches. In a word, if you contemplate a trip to almost any portion of the West and North-west your ticket should read via North-Western Line- Maps, time tables and general informatiom can be obtained of ticket agents in the United States and Canada, or by addressing W. A. Thrall, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Chicago & North-West-ern R’y, Chicago, 111. 33-3 Do you Fish? Yager Bro s. s the place to buy your tackle.

Upon Wednesday evening of last week Misses Fanny Robinson. Lizzie and Hattie Patterson entertained delightful.y twenty-eight of their young girl friends at the home of Miss Fanny, on North Second street. Mary, wife of Levi Poling, died Nov. 4,1893, aged 27 years, 4 months and 29 days. The deceased was buried in Maple-Wood cemetery Nov. (I, 1893, from M, E- church Rev. Treeland, of Monroe Circuit, conducting the funeral services. Remember every pair of glasses you buy at D. M. Hensley’s you only pay one half as much as you pay other opicians and have the privilege of returning them if they don’t suit. He will take back every pair that is not correct. Get yourselves or your friends a pair of glasses at D. M. Hensley’s 33 ts The grocery firm of Hite, Yager & Co., have suspended on the wall in their place of business, a wooden clock of the patern of 400 years ago. There are but t hree wheels to the same, and the winding up process is done by a pulley instead of a key. It is quite odd from time-keepers of the present day. Eleven Adams County Nimrods took the morning train last Friday for Lewiston, Michigan, in search of game larger than now abound these neighborhoods. Among those who we are acquainted with were the Gideon Brothers, of Union township. Horace Porter and Dave Eley of our city; the other gentlemen were strangers to us. We hope however, that their acquaintances may be formed on their return with well laden hunting-sacks of wild meats. George E. Ilower, Administrator of the Estate of George W. B.

Frank France, of the Hotel Randall, Ft. Wayne, was in the city last Tuesday. John King's brick building is shaping completion, as far as the masonwork is concerned. We regret to announce that LaGrippe has many victims in our city. Rev. E. T. Gregg has just recovered from an attack. The Presbyterian church observed “Autumnal Day” last sabbath. The house was beautifully decorated and the exercises interesting. The boys who persist in destroying people’s property on South Fifth St. should beware, for they are known Should the case occur again their names will be mentioned. Rev. Von Swadler formerly pastor of the St. Mary’s Catholic Church, of this place, but now of Monroeville, was in the city last Tuesday, shaking hands with bis many friends. While it is early, to go to D.

See his large cut in his prices. 33tf ■ Davis Daily, who resides five miles south-east of here had the misfortune of losing by fire his large bank-barn and contents, consisting of several hundred bushels of wheat, oats, corn, farming implements, and 45 tons of hay. There is no means of ascertaining the cause of howthe.fire originated. Miss Rose Christen, one of the teachers in our public schools, has been compelled to remain at home for the past two weeks suffering from a bruise received by a fall last summer. During her absence from school Miss Olive Dailey is taking charge of her rdom. J. W. Vogelwede, Barney Meibers, Ezra Lister, and Ves King were driven out in the woods for a distance of several miles last “Tuesday, where they went into camp to take advantage of the squirrel, quail and other game that would show up to their eagle eye. Maj. Milt Byers joined the party Wednes day. Those young boys who have been standing around the outside of our churches anddist urbing the evening services by their hideous noises bad better take warning and desist, as the pastors and people are tiring of persuasion and will show the strength of the law. For there is a law forbidding the disturbance of religious worship, and it should be enforced. Mrs M. Chilcoat, mother of Mrs Fred Shaffer and Mrs. J. B. Meibers, went to South Bend, Indiana, some two weeks ago to have a surgical operation performed du her left eye,— a large cataract having formed on that optic; Mrs. Fred Shaffer accompanying her mother thither. Dr. A. F. Shaffer, of South Bend, and brother of our townsmen, Fred, and Jacob, performing the operation, and removal in a very scientific and successful manner. Dayton Gott had a very dangerous runaway last Saturday while returning home from town. Just as he was approaching the G. R. & I. railroad his horse became unmanageable and started to run. The cart he was in was broken, the horse unharnessed and Mr. Gott thrown violently on the ground and was dragged a short distance as'his foot caught in the sulky. He was very lucky in not being badly injured. Ou Tuesday evening Oct. 31, the Shakespeare Club gave the first of a series of social entertainments, which is to be a feature of their work this year. The club and friends this evening were the guests of Mrs. John Niblick and royally did she receive and entain them. A special program had been arranged beginning with a well rendered solo by Mrs. Patterson. Prof. A. D. Moffet read a carefully prepared and thoroughly profound paper upon Shakespear's method and phylosophy. This paper called for very close attention and returned large -profits. Mrs. Thompson gave a very humorous ing, illustrated by her own drawing, concerning Mr. C. Columbus, Esq. An elegent supper was followed by guesses upon certain peculiar articles placed in various positions in the parlor said to represent characters in "The Merchant of Venice.” The guessers wrote their guesses, signed their names and submitted them to a committee. Prizes for the best and the poorest guesses were awarded. Midnight closed in and all reluctantly departed.

OBITI ARV. Again a servant of the Lord has gone to his rest. On the-.’sth of October Father Frederic Christiaiier was called home by Him whom he had served for near four score years. Although ripe in years, having readied the limit of life assigned by the psalmist we would have wished God would have allowed us to enjoy ids presence longer. But tlie grim hand of death has finally taken him from our midst. Whilst we keenly feel the loss we have sustained we are thankful for the infinite goodness of God he has enjoyed in so long a life, and rejoice in the sincere hope that God lias liestowed upon him the crown of righteousness. Father Christiaiier was born in Bouhmte, Hanover, Germany, in the year of 1814Herejhewas consecrated unto God in liojy baptism, and with his brothers and sisters received a Christian school education on the part of his parents. After comfirniation, he worked for a time on the farm and later served as stage coachman for a number of years. At the age of twenty-four years, he emigrated to America, bought a tract of land in this cqunty upon which he lived till his dendse. By the goodness of God he was soon enabled by hard labor to put himself in a comfortable position. In the year of 1841 he was majrjed to Mary Angelica Knapp. This happy yinion was blessed with four children of which two, however, soon died. In the year of 1834 it also pleased (led to call home his beloved spouse. In 1858 he again entered in the state of matrimony his choice being Mrs. Louise Hener. But this union also proved of short duration, for in 18(19, after the familycircle had been increased by three childrendeath again made ids happy home motherless. Friday the twenty-seventh of October Father Christiaiier began to complain, but as lie retained bis old cheerfulness nothing serious was apprehended. Saturday morning however, he so suddenly gre w worse that it was soon apparent that his life cur rents were fastly ebbing away. But although he was aware that his hours were numbered he entered the dark valley without fear knowing that the Lord was with him and that eternal life was beyond. As the shadows deepened he resigned his soul to God and his Saviour and repeatedly said: Whom have lln heaven but Thee? and there is none up<sn earth that I desire besides Thee my tlesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strenght of my heart, and my portion forever. Ps. 73, 25-20 and: Christ’s dear blood and righteous. My jewels are my glorious dress. Wherein before my God i'll stand. When I shall reach the heavenly thud. At two o'clock p s in. he breathed his last. On Tuesday following, amid a of relatives and friends he was borne to his last place Tlie funeral sermom was delivered from 2 Tim. 4,7. 3. By the deatli of Father Christiaiier another useful life has closed. This life lias not been tritied away, as so many lives are. never has it been spent in indolence, or the ungodliness or wikedness... This life tended to the praise of God and benefit of his fel‘ tow creatures. Hewas a lover of the home of God being a regular attendant at scr vices and willing to devote his time, council and money to serve tlie interest of the church he belonged to. He was not only a Christian when being in the chrtrgli but also conducted himself as such in his daily life. He would not sacrifice tlie principles of truth for the sake of gain or pleasure. He watched anxiously not to offend his fellow men. young or old, by evil habits or wicked doings. Although industrious ns few, his heart did not cleave to Mammon. All who knew Father Christiaiier will agree herein that he was a living father, a kind and generous friend, an honest upright mail, a good citizen a man of whom Hoot Wwnship can justly be proud of. Yes lie lias left.his family tlie heritage of a good name. But by the grace of God we are not only entitled to say of Father Christiaiier that lie led a moral life, we can also apply the words of Paul to him. He lias kept the faith! what faith? Indeed not! Father Christiaiier knew he was a sinner who had trangressed the law of God innumerable times: lie was constrained to say with the poet, not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy law’s demand lie knew that men, however good their lives, however seeming their moral accomplishments, are by nature last in tresspasses and sins, are under God's wratli and condemnation and worthy only of temporal and eternal punishments. Tlie faith Father Christiaiier kept, living and dying was that Christ is trim God born of tire Father of eternity, and also true man born of the Virgin Mary, our Lord, and tlie only Mediator between God and men, who redeemed, secured and delivered him from all his sins, from deatli and the power of Hie devil : not silver or gold, but with his Jiuly and precious blood, and with -his innocent sufferings and death. Tills faith Fatliei Cliristipner kept, and it was the source and secret of his exemplary life. May we who remain, profit by tlie e\ ample set by him: may we be steadfast and faithful, as he lias been and may our end In'peaceful in Jesus as his end was. FAST LINE TO DEN MOINES.
