Mrs. D. P. Reynolds, who was operated upon some time ago, revealing a cancerous condition of the liver, but who has been able to be up and about the house at times, was taken suddenly worse about noon today, suffering a stroke of paralysis. It was thought jjt that time that she was dying. She is apparently unconscious and helpless, though it is thought that her hearing is not affected. Doctors stated that her death might occur at any time, though she may live several weeks in this condition. Her, daughter, Mrs. Priest, of Oklahoma, has been with her some time and her son > Will, only recently returned to his home there. She is siaty-slx years of age. I Dr. McOscar of Fort Wayne was in the city yesterday and held a consultation with Doctors Clark regarding the condition of Mrs. Harriet, Longenbacher, who has been suffering with asthma for some time at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. Kirsch. Dr. McOscar agreed with the local doctors that the complaint is asthma, and it is thought that there is no permanent cure. Mrs. Longenbacher is quite aged, and it is said that but for the very strong condition of her heart, she Would not be able to withstand the great suffering she endures, from the difficulty in breathing. She is also the mother of Mrs. A. G. Sellemeyer. I • — 6—'—' — I The Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad is bound to make its depot grounds in this city equal to the others along its line which are noted for their beauty and taste in arrangement. A short time ago the company built, a new brick depot, with everything beautiful and convenient for the accommodation of its patrons, and a year or two ago took especial pains in laying out the plot of ground adjacent thereto and sowing it with grass seed, which has now developed into a lawn that with the care and pass- 1 ing of years will be one of the most | beautiful and velvety in the city. To ■ further the beauty there, workmen are now engaged in digging a trench around this plot, on the north side of the depot, in which will be planted a hedge. The trench has now been dug around the west and north sides, and , /will soon reach the east and south sides. This is being filled with good i soils and fertilizers and everything ' will soon be ready for the setting out ' of the shrubs. The work is being i done by John Logan, Levi Poling, James Urick, and Will Sudduth of the railroad force. —- ■ -o - - — ; TO CANDO, NORTH DAKOTA.
