DEATH OF CHARLES E. MILLS.

Charles E. Mills, whose sickness was mentioned recently in these columns, died Saturday afternoon at about 3 o’clock, after a second stroke of paralysis, the first stroke coming the day previous. Mr. Mills had apparently nearly recovered from his sickness and was up town only a few days before his death. On returning home from this trip, however, he was again taken down but was not considered in a serious condition until the paralytic stroke on Friday, The funeral was held Monday afternoon from his late residence, conducted by Rev. H. L. Kindig, assisted by Iroquois Lodge, I. O. O. F. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. IN MEMORII’M. Charles E. Mills was born in Ottawa, LaSalle County, Illinois, August 7, 1858, and is of English ancestry. His grandfather, Daniel Mills, came to America with his family, but recrossed the ocean, and while there the father of the deceased, Daniel C. Mills, was born While he was yet a lad the family once more crossed the ocean to America, the grandfather becoming associated with the father of our eminent statesman, Roscoe Oonkling, in the manufacture of veneering at Cohoes Palls, New York, the first enterprise of the kind in this country. The family afterwards moved to Ottawa, Illinois, where the grandfather died and the father still lives. Charles E. Mills was reared on a farm and attended the public schools during his youth, afterwards entering Adrian College, at Adrain, Michigan. He then passed considerable time in teaching school and was very successful in this profession. During this period he began the study of law at Ottawa. He located in Remington, Ind., in 1885 and was admitted to the Jasper County Bar in 1888, and moved to Renßselaer three years later. Like many a country-born youth who attains eminence in our country, he worked his own way by perseverance and industry, from teaching to aw, and from law to public life. Mr. Mills chose as the partner of life’s vicissitudes Miss Ann Rebecca Smith, of Marseilles, 111. They have three sons, Edward F., Emory 8. and Howard. Mr. Mills w>s a member of the Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Odd Fellows lodges. He was a Republican in politics and has served bis party faithfully. He has been on several local committees, was secretary of the Jasper County Republican committee in 1894 and its chairman in 1896 and from 1894 has

! been secretary of the Republican Committee oi the tenth Congressional district. He was appointed Prosecuting Attorney for this circuit by Governor Mount in tbe year 1898 and filled his position faithfnlly. He had a good law practice in this county and was honest in all bis dealings. He was fair to tbe coart in all bis practice as well as kind to bis brother attorneys. Mr. Mills was the first count}' assessor nnder tbe new law and filled this position to tbe satisfaction of all. In addition to his law practice Mr. Mills took an active part in all local improvements which were intended to better the community in which he lived and at the time of his death was secretary of the Jasper County Telephone Co. Our brother has been in poor health for some time, yet to a great number of his friends this fact was unknown and when the news came of his death on April 30th, 1904, it created great Borrow among his many friends and neighbors, and whereas, Charles E. Mills was a member of the Jaßper County Bar and in good standing, and whereas, In order that a brief biography oi his life may become a part of the records of the Jasper Circuit Coart and a token of respect shown to bis family and a recognition of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow members of this bar, therefore be it resolved, * That these resolutions be spread of record in the order bpoks of this Coart and that a copy of same be handed to the family and to the editors of this city.

On the second day of May, 1904, under the auspices of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge he was laid to rest in Weston cemetery in the city of Rensselaer near the Iroquois river. He has left ns. At this bar his presence we will not see nor his voice hear but in memory they dwell. He sleeps in the quiet chamber of death, the mystery of which still surrounds the living; its door is closed to all and he who knocks and asks admission most do so after the mists have rolled away. ‘Tis best that this be so. ‘Tis a divine pleading, yea ‘tie law. We demur but this is overruled as it always has been and always will be in this life. ‘Tis wise that it should be so. 'Tis beat. To live in hope of the fntore is better for mankind than the actual knowledge, if not, God wonld have rnled otherwise. Oar time is coming; when it does the way will be made clear and the true future revealed. And when "The death change comes, Death is another life, we bow

oar heads at going out, we think, and enter straight another chamber of tbe King’s, larger than this we leave, and lovelier, and tben in shadowy glimpses disconnect, the story, flowerlike, closes thus its leaves. The will of God is all in all, he makes, destroys, remakes for his own pleasure, all.”— Bailey. Moses Leopold, Frank Foltz. E. P. Honan.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT GOODLAND.

Mrs. Frank Hefferlin and two-year-old child met death in a terrible form at Goodland on Thursday afternoon of last week. It is supposed she was starting a fire in a heating stove with gasoline, mistaking it for coal oil, and that there was a smouldering fire in the stove. The two-gallon can exploded, throwing her several feet from the stove, blowing out the windows and enveloping the room in flames. The unfortunate woman was dead when found but the baby lived several hours. Frank Hefferlin was formerly of this county, a eon of. John Hefferlin, and his wife was formerly of Brook. They had resided in Goodland only a few months.

A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of NoMeboopauy, Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes: “a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I bad often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months." Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia, Indigestion. Constipation and Kidney troubles. Try them. Only BOc at A. F. Long's.

FORGIVEN AT LAST

In tbe center of one of the loveliest Of Somersetshire Coombes rests in all the stateliness of antique architecture the manorial home of the ancient family of LnttrelL One mellow evening in early autumn there sat looking out to sea, with sad and anxious faces, Walter Luttreil and his bride. “And so, Walter," murmured the girl, “there is no hope of your father relenting. Walter, I have been cruelly selfish, and you, my darling, should not have sacrificed so much for me.” “Don’t grieve, dearest. Bear up. The fate is hard, *llß true, but better thus, and so go forth and struggle with the world than to be separated. Come, we will meet tbe future bravely, and In America there is no family pride to mar our happiness.” Walter Luttreil was the only child of Sir Wulter and Lady Luttreil, who looked upon alliances of their blood with all exacting exclusiveness. During a summer vacation In his university career be had been the solo occupant of his father's house. She was the grandchild of his father’s gatekeeper. He took his fate in his hand and hushing or evading all Maud’s scruples presented themselves before the rector of a distant parish and were wed, with the proviso that the marriage should be kept a secret But almost tbe first guest who enteral his father's balls after his parents’ return was no other than the kindly rector who so recently had officiated. So the decree went forth, and Walter Luttreil, as a discarded, penniless man, bade adieu to the home of his ancestors and sought consolation in the love of his plebeian bride. For seven oar eight years I lost sight entirely of the friend of my boyhood, and the story of his fortunes never reached his home. EHe mother had died, and a gloom bung around the mansion. I had long become a permanent rutdent of New York. One wet. boisterous night I Jumped on the front plalr form of a crowded street car on my way home. I was alone with the driver, whose manner of talking to bis horses as he stopped and started rather attracted my attention. “You don’t appear exactly at homo with this bind of driving,” I remarked. “I am not a professional coachman," he replied -with an English accent. "How far do you go before you change off?” I Inquired. "I change close by. at tbe station,” I got off and watched for him as bo came out again and turned to go borne in the pelting, pitiless rain. Overtaking him, I stepped np and, slapping him on the shoulder, exclaimed: "Luttreil, how are you, old boyT* "How came you to call me that name?” he half angrily answered, starting back. "My name is Loring—but, by heaven, can it be? Oh, Frank, how glad I am to see you!" In an upstairs room in a ditopMated tenement we found the bride erf his youth, pale, but still beautiful, huddling close to her three little children. "My old college chum, Mand." be said, answering her inquiring glance. My first impulse was to get them out of their present wretched abode and into a respectable house until other arrangements could be made. I obtained for Walter some employment more befitting his education, but as his prospects here were by no means flattering I struck upon another scheme that, If successful, would aid him effectually. I was on the eve of making a periodical visit to a connection whose estates in Somersetshire adjoined those of Sir Waiter, and I proposed to Waiter and Mand to take over with me their little son Walter and try if through the child a reconciliation could not be effected. The little fellow and I set sail and reached our destination without incident of any kind, and one bright summer morning I took him to pay my respects to the old baronet Of coarse with his usual partiality for children he petted the boy, who answered to his name—by previous tuition—" Walter Henry,” and I was encouraged to observe that the mention of tbe name, in conjunction with the little fellow’s bright swarthy faoe, sent a pang through his heart "I was very harsh," be said, "to my Walter, and now his poor mother is gone I feel sadly alone in the world. Would to God be would write." And the miserable old man sighed as be turned toward tbe lawn where the little boy was playing. I saw at once that Sir Walter’s pride was tbe obstacle to a first concession and, stepping out on to tbe lawn, resolved to make our coup without delay. I called tbe child to me and gave him some flowers, with Instructions to take them to the baronet and likewise what he was to say. The child approached his knee and, holding np his little face, said: "Here are some flowers for yon, dear grandpapa.* That one word was sufficient The truth flashed through his mind. and. gathering him to his bosom, the old man cried over him as though he was himself a child.—New York News.

The Two Handles.

How beautiful is the reasoning of Epictetus! What Jurisprudence and equity are enveloped in this; “Everything has two handles—one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot! If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be borne, but rather by the opposite—that he is your brother, that he was brought np with you, and thus yon will lay bold on it as it Is to be borne."—Schoolmaster.

Attention Farmers. Why remain in tbe North and siay indoors six months in the year consuming what you -aise during the other six months? Go South where you can work out dcors every month in the year, and where you are producing something the year round. If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heads off” and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter, Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming food in certain proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer, and the latter a fat producer, and they the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. More money can be made and with less labor, in general farming, fruit and berry growing and truck gardening along oui road in the South than in any other section of the Union. __ If you are interested and desire further information on the subject, address.
