Augusta G. Steyely. Fred Reppert, Auct. 31-2 The sad death of William P. Porter, of Pleasant Mills, occurred at the St’. Joseph Hospital at Fort Wayne Sunday morning, at 8 o’clock, after an illness extending over several years. He was one of the best known men of this county, was a veteran of the civil war, and probably contracted the peculiar combination of diseases which caused his death during his service. Several months ago he went to the Fort Wayne hospital, where he took treatment from his cousin, Dr. Miles Porter. His condition gradually grew worse and no medical skill could save him, death finally coming as a relief. He was about sixty years of age and leaves two daughters, Mrs. Weisner, of Fort Wayne, and Mrs. Gitsom, of Chicago. In speaking of his death, the Fort Wayne Journal of Monday, said: “William P. Porter, a farmer residing near Decatur, died at St. Joseph hospital Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, after a lingering illness. His affliction was of a peculiar nature, affecting the liver and kidnevs. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Shone <fc Veith, where a post mortem was conducted by Dr. Maurice Rosenthan, assisted by several physicians. A number of medical students also witnessed the autopsy. Mr. Porter came here for treatment about two months ago. He was sixty years- old. Surviving him are two daughters. One of these is Mrs. Nicholas Weisner, of 118 Thomas street.

?r t 0110 take the body to Pleasant Mills Tuesday afternoon and the funeral service and interment will be at that place,” The remains were sen t to the G. R. & I. station here Tuesday morning by the G. A. R. members. ??>> Were at once taken to Pleasant Mills, where the services w T ore conducted at the Methodist church by Rev, Peters.

The bride's mother was in tears, the groom's mother went her one better and had hysterics, you couldn’t hear a word of the ceremony, | and the church was so crowded that three women fainted. Yes, it was a success ail right.”—Life. Milk is suggested as a good extinguishing agent for burning petroleum. It forms an emulsion with the oil, and by disturbing its cohesion attenuates the combustible element as water cannot Sulphur win Put Ont Fire.. Grant me space in your paper to make more generally known a fact which has been known to me many years and doubtless to others, that sulphur thrown into the tire of a stove, furnace or fireplace will instantly extinguish the fire in a chimney or flue. If a small bag or parcel of sulphur, say three or four ounces, were kept in a handy place and used when needed as directed above, it might be the means of saving property and perhaps life.—Letter in New York Times. How He Got It. In one of Chauncey M. Depew’s stories he told of meeting a man as funny as himself. “One day,” said Mr. Depew, “I met a soldier who had been wounded in the face. He was a Union man, and I asked him in which battle he bad been injured. “ Tn the last battle of Bull Run, sir,’ he replied. “ ‘But how could you get hit in the face at Bull Run?’ I asked. “ ‘Well, sir,’ said the man, half apologetically, ‘after 1 had run a mile or two I got careless and looked back.’ ” A Faultless Reply.
