May grief meet them by the way. After seven months of intense suffering Mrs Elizabeth Beeler nee Ash i baueher, died Saturday afternoon at | ! their home two and one-half miles i northwest of Linn Grove. During the ’ ■ time of her suffering she underwentan operation by reason of an abscess but found little relief. Her demise was due from a complication of diseases developing into dropsy. .Mrs. Beeler was torn near Berne, Switzer land, October 18, 1842, and in 1855 came with hpr parents to America when thirteen years old. They first settled in Wayne county, Ohio, and moved to Adams county. Indiana, in 1866. In 1868 she was united in marriage to Daniel Beeler and lived on their farm j near Kreps until her death. To this | union were torn seven daughters and | one son, Mesdames Minerva Studa baker, Elizabeth Bierie. Mary Boyd. Nancy Hoffmann, and Misses Emma and Lillie Beeler and Edward Beeler, all of whom with the husband remain to mourn the loss of the departed one. She leaves six brothers, three sisters, eight children, nine grand-children. | When quite voting she united with the Reformed church In Wayne county, and later transferred her member ship to the first reformed church at; Vera Cruz, where she remained a faithful member until her death. She : loved her church as she loved her ■ home. She tore her long sickness with much patience and was never heard to complain. A short time tofore her death she called her family to her side and bade each one the final good-bye imprinting the kiss of love and affection of a wife and mother on their lips with the righteous ad- j monition to live right so that they might meet her in that heavenly home,' soon after she sank into unconsciousness and peacefully passed to her rest. As a neighbor she was loved by ■ all, peace and harmony was her fort. ■ She was loved as she was known and loved her family as her life. Her ( funeral took place from the Reformed | church at Vera Cruz on Tuesday at ten o’clock. Rev. Vitz, her pastor, de-I livered the sermon in German and ‘ Rev. J. H. String of Bluffton, in the English language. Interment in the i Six Mile cemeterv. Those who atj tended the funeral from a distance i ' were L<*e Beeler and wife, and Mrs. j ; David Beeler, of Lima, Ohio, Miss ; Mary Bolmer, Bluffton. Ohio, Jacob' Beeler, Lester and Orin Beeler, Miss Blanch Lounder. of Van Buren. Mesdames Elizabeth Hart, Herman Tet- i man. Peter Ashbaucher and Edward Aschbaucher of Decatur.
Naa«au*s I.nke of Fire. “I doubt if many persons realize the j fascination to be derived from a winter j spent in the Bahamas,” said a visitor ( Just returned from there the other day. , “Down near Nassau, for example. I ' there Is a curious sheet of water known ' as the Lake of Fire that is worth going ( far to see. It is simply a phosphor- ( escent lake, but its weird effects cling to one’s recollection in an uncanny way. It Is about three miles from the hotel. You drive through quaint and narrow streets, with only here and there a lamppost shedding a dim light. j and past the open doors of Luts whose occupants seem to fill every space in the abodes to overflowing. “The gates of the old estate of Wa- ; terloo have long since disappeared, and the bouse is in ruins, but you drive tie- I tween the posts which still mark the entrance down a "rnss grown roadway " to the edge of this wonderful pond. The water is only a few feet deep, and the pond is scarcely a quarter of a mile long. We stepped into a r wboat by ! the dim light of a lantern, and In a mo- ■ ment, as the boat pushed off and the ; oars broke the water Into ripples, we ! were surrounded by a sea of flame. The ! divers who swam about seemed literally merged in blue smoke, for the effect , of this phoffbhonescence Is more like ; smoke than water. It reminds one of \ the butterfly dance seen on the stage. I The form of the diver is surrounded by 1 a luminous glow, and ’he fishes take fright and dart away like little dames into the dark and quiet waters. It is a beautiful sight.”—New York Sun. in the fore part ot August, xbiz, u party of hunters found in a mountainous region now known as Habun coun- . ty, Ga„ a being nearly eight feet high I covered with bluish hair and having a | human face adorned with immense ears resembling those of an ass. The j creature was stone deaf and on that I account seemed wholly unconscious of the approach of the men. This monster seems, from old accounts, to have 1 been seen upon several occasions during the next four years. In 1810 a numb.T of adventurers! from Virginia, most of them surveyors j working up the unexplored portions of Georgia and the Carolinas, formed themselves Into a party for the express purpose of capturing the uncanny being If possible. They scoured the bills and valleys for several days and at last returned unsuccessful to the starting point The many tales told of this extraordli. .ry being seem to have created quite a stir all along the Atlantic coast A printed circular issued by a land company in 1815 says, "The climate of Georgia Is exceedingly mild, the soil I productive, and the danger of attack from uncouth (leasts which are representer! ns being half beast and half mnn are fairy tales not worthy of consideration." The geographical divisions of ths United States are the north Atlantic group, the south Atlantic group, the north central group, the south central t group and the western group.
'Trqtlnh ScboolniHMtcr. In the town records of the city of Boston there Is a curious passage which records how a schoolmaster was examined and what happened. The manner in which the visit of Inspection is recorded makes one Incline to the I view that the unlit :'T school nr ister may not hove had fair play, although I if he was really Inefficient he may be j said to have been judged by his peers. In the record for the 22d of May, 1722. It is set forth that: "Coll I'en Townsend, Jeremiah Allen Esqr, A- John Edwards together with the Select men, Vissltted the weighting School at the Southerly End of Boston on Thirsday the 24th apll 1722. and Examined the Scholars under mr Ames-Angers tuition as to their proficiency in Beading writing Scyphering A the masters ability of teaching & Instructing youth his rules & methods therefore And are of Opinion I That It will be no Service to the Town | to Continue, mr anger in that Employ.” Whereupon it was voted that the saiil Mr. Ames Anger should not continue master of the "Said Soutli school.” It Is true that nothing Is said of the methods of spelling inculcated at the “weighting School." and it is also possible that a clerk rather than the committee was responsible for the errors of the record, but there Is certainly something absurd in the passage as it stands. Maddened by Solltnde. The Canadian northwest is a probationary haven for wealthy young Eng- j glishmen of nomadic Instincts. Numbers of them annually purchase hunting and camping outfits from the Hudson Bay company and strike into the barren lands to prospect for minerals or take up land on the prairies. But most often they return to the civilization of the towns with nothing but hard words for the wilderness. The construction of the Temiscaming railroad induced the younger son of one wealthy English family to take a trip into that outlandish district. He returned to Ottawa a disappointed man. "It’s the most desolate country you can Imagine,” he said to his friends. "1 have been out prospecting sometimes for a whole day without seeing a sign of animal life. Once the only living thing 1 came across was a bird, and it was so disgusted that it was trying to knock Its brains out against a tree." He had seen a woodpecker.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
Flower Gardens of the Sea. The sea has its flower gardens, but the blooms are not on plants as they are on the land. It Is the animals of the sea that make the gardens, the corals of the tropical waters particularly making a display of floral beauty that fairly rivals the gorgeous coloring and delicate grace presented by land flowers. So closely do they resemble plant blooms that it is hard to believe that they are wholly animal in organization. Dr. Blackford says that among the coral gardens there are fishes of curious forms and flashing colors darting about, just as the birds and butterflies dart about plant gardens on land. —Chicago Chronicle. Aot Sail.factory. “Mose,” said Mr. Subbubs, "I want you to clean out my cellar tonight” "’Deed, sab,” Mose protested, “I kaint do no wuck laik dat at night, sab, dat would be satisfact’ry to yo', sab." “Why. not? You’ve often cleaned out my chicken coop at night” "Yes, sab; but I reckon dat wuzn’ satisfact’ry to yo', sab.”— Philadelphia Record.
