Elizabeth Hancock Jones died at the home of her daughter in Kankakee township, Jasper county, Indiana. April G, 1896. at the advanced ageof 83 years and 15 days. She was one of Indiana's early pioneers, having come with her parents here when the state was yet a territory. She first settled in Monroe county but in a few years removed to Putnam county and settled on what was called Deer creek. Hereshe lived till 1830, when she became the wife of Berryman Jones of the adjoining county Owen whither she went to assist in laying the foundation of a new home. Here for 34 years she spent a busy life, doing willingly ami well her part in helping an honest industrious husband tomake a living. In 1864 she came to this county and as the Writer knows, here for thityr-one years she was the good house wife of the family, never giving up the work and man agement of her own household affairs till the death of her aged companion last September, since then she has had her home with her daughter, Mrs. Coilins. She was the mother of 11 children six of whom survive her. For 83 long years she bore the toilsand sorrows of life, she saw friends and kindred come and go, by the side of the graves of her parents, her husband and five children she stood, she saw sons off to war, she saw a goodly fortune made and lost, bodily pain and mental distress often visited her but Job like through all the days of her appointed time she with patience waited till the change came. For 60 years she was a consistent and exemplary member of the M. E. church, ever obedient to all its demands, ever hopeful in all its promises. As she lived so she died a firm believer in the Christian religion.

Br. John P. D. John.

The following are testimonials of the above popular lecturer, who is to appear before the Rensselaer Lecture Club Friday night, April 10th, at Ellis opera house: Dr. John is one of the most brilliant men the Methodist church has, and has proved a very popular lecturer Chicago Times-Herald. Dr. John is one of the greatest oraters of his time.—Terra Haute(lnd.)Tribune. Dr. John held his hearers as if by a spell of magic while he exposed the fallacies of Col. Ingersol. in the logical manner and by the scientific methods that are peculiarly his ow-n. No finer effort in rhetoric and logic has ever been heard in this city. Bluffton (Ind.) Evening News. There have been many replies to the witty agnostic, Robert. G. Ingersoll, but none, we are sure, which surpass Dr. John's effort last night in clearness of expression, aptness of illustration, and cogency of logic.—Bloomington (Ind.) Telephone. We have not the space or ability to justly treat Dr. John's magnificent lecture, but we believe that its best testimonial will be the resultsit will produce in the lives of those who heard its words of wisdom. Mt.Vernon(lowa)Remarker. “Did Man Make God or Did God Make Man," was the subject of Dr. John's lecture last night at the State Normal School. It is seldom that one sees a more learned audience. Dr. John held his audience till the very close of the lecture almost spell-bound, and men of pronounced viewssaidthat itwasthe best they had ever heard.—Terre Haute(lnd.) Express.

That Charter Election

The seeming indifference and general apathy toward the city charter question by all classes makes it very difficult to forecast the result at the special election. The good to result from changing to a city charter will hinge largely on the enterprise and frugality of the new board of aidermen and other city officers. For the council to vote handsome salaries to all city officers which they will have it in their power to do, would increasetaxation, and be unwarranted. We have in mind an Indiana town of 3,000 population, that voted for a city charter whose council fixed the salaries of the officers as follows. Mayor, 8300; marshal 8600; clerk 8250; city attorney, 8100; council men 850 each; and treasurer a per cent allowed on taxes collected. After one year's trial this schedule was considered altogether too high, and all salaries were cut down except that of the councilmen, who having the power in theirown hands proceeded to draw 850 annually fro n the city funds. AU these points will have to be decided and it is well to consider them beforehand. There are, obviously, many advantages to be gained by living under city rule, provided that the right kind of men are elected to fill the various positions in the municipality. It is a stimulation to more and better public improvements; it doesaway with the expense of an annualelection and gives the town abetter standing abroad. Linked with all this is the fact that Rensse’aer is having a rapid growth and must sooner or later change its form of government for the protection of its citizens. i Z\.

BRICK TOP AND DAISY.

Surf ace gas is very plentiful about Goodland. This is not intended as a pun reflecting upon the newspaper offices or store-box philosopihers, but as a material fact. Well men constantly have trouble with the gas, and especially in the region known as “farm lot six.” It was experimenting with a wellon“farmlotsix," three or four years ago, that Benj. Kaufiman, Will Shaffer and Dave Pasdach came near departing this life on the tail end of an explosion. For several days the gas had been giving strong indications of wanting to do something, so they concluded to give it a chance. Lighting a rig they dropped it down the muzzle of the well and then peeked over to see where it would light. They “lit”—all three of them. Shaffer’s hat bit.wed over the house, and the only reason that Will didn’t follow was because his toes caught in the eve-troughs. All were badly burned, their hair and whiskers being singed to the flesh, and their faces looked like the internal works of a railroad sandwich. It was needless for them to say that when the lighted rag started down there was a terrific explosion, and that they were exceedingly lucky in escaping without more serious damages. In many cases the gas found in these wells has been igpitedand burned for hours. Currens & Wood inform us that they met with an extraordinarily strong flow of gas in drilling a well in Sapp’s addition, this week, and that when fired it shot up a blaze three or four feet. Many think that the indications are strong to warrant a little investigation.- Goodland Herald.

To Sunday School Workers

Wednesday, April 12, is the day set apart for the complete house to house canvass of the entire state by the State Sunday School Association. This great movement was set on foot last year, And thirty counties were partially canvassed. Reports show that about 500,000 people were reached by the canvass. The second annual canvass is now being planned, and it is hoped that it will be thoroughly done. Our county does not wanttobe behind in this kind of earnest Sunday school work. It is striving to become a Banner county. All persons interested in this good work are cordially invited to assist in every way they can.

Tour Boy Won’t Live A Month

So Mr. Gilman Brown of 34 Mill St., South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up, saying: “Your boy won't live a month.” He tried Dr. King's New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says he owes his present good health to the use of Dr. King's New Discovery, and knows it to be the best in the world for Lung trouble. Trial Bottles Free at Frank B. Meyer’s drug store, People in Connecticut are much discontented. There is a growing belief there, as elsewhere, that there is no difference between the old parties. Thcvdo not care so much for free coinage as for more money. Our people there are not in favor of an early convention. Workers are scattering literature; not trying to convert those in the party, but those who are out. Try Parrot'A Taggaets Lunch Milk Biscuit they are the best.
