OBITUARY.

i Abgusta Elnora King was bojTt in Fountain Co, Ind., Apr. 17, 1878 While yet quiie she was removed to Rensselaer, Ind., and vicinity* where rslia remained until July 1895, when being in poor health she was advised to seek a change p f cli T mate and in so doing she concluded to visit her sister, Mrs. J. N. Lehman, of Uu lerwood, lowfw. where she at once began taking medical treatment. From this she received nothing more than encouragement or relief and on Dec. 24, 1895, she departed this life at 5:10 a. m. at the age of 20 years, 8 months and 7 days. She leaves one sister, two brothers and her grand-parents to mourn her. Although mourning should be useless, for the last few moments of her life seemed to be the happiest. Although not belonging to any church she died in the Arms of Jesus. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a. m. Dec. 26, at the M. E. Church, con-

ducted by Rev. B. F. Ferguson assisted by Rfev. R. D. Utter. The burial services Were conducted by Rensselaer Lodge, Daughters Of Rebekah, of which the deceased was a member. Interment in Weston cemetry. The following verses, read/ at the funeral, are published by request of . the friends. She Is not dead, the child of our affection, But gone into that school, Where she no longer needs one poor pro .eeAnd Christ himself doth rule. [tion. There is a land where be.aity can not fade. Nor sorrow dim the eye;* sn Where tiue lct’c not drop nor.hadisAud none shall ever die- [mayed. The stars are but the'TSlilning dust, Of my divine abode; The pavements of those heavenly courts, - Where I shall reign with God. We sec but dimly through the mist and vap- r Amid these earthly lam.ps, [ors, What seems to us but sad funereal tapers, May be heaven’s distant lamps. * “We watched her the night Her breathing soft and low; Arid In her breast the wave of life, Kept: heaving to and fro.” “There fell upon the house a sudden gloom. A shadow on those features fair and thin; And softly from that hushed and darkened room. Two Angels issued where but one went In.” Her sufferings ended with the day; Yet lived she at Its close, And breathed the long, long night away, In statue like repose. _ _______ Bnt when the sun in all Ills state, Illumed the eastern skies; She passed through Glory's morning gate, And walked In Paradise. , • f Sleep that no pain shall wake, Night that no morn shall breakt « TUI joy shall overtake. Her perfect will. ♦ * 1 We have some desirable town property for sale. Vacant lots and improved property. Warren <fe Irwin. Fine Crayon and Water Color Portraits can be ordered at the Pavilion.

Here is the characteristic way Rbody Sbiel, h Well known and successful live stock dealer, and promiuent politician of Indistuffpolis, talks about Cleveland's war • message, as reported by the ludiJan^poHsSun; *TU bet you that within two or three weeks the very newspapers that are now praising President Cleveland to the, sties on account of his dodaTjltidn of war, will be darnin’ him. I’ll tell you why,” “Cleveland touched the button before he knew what it would ring at the other end. He’s stirred up an awful mess and ,ihe business men of the country won’t forget him for it soon, either. His Ven ezuelan message was good for nothing on earth but to gain for him a little short-lived popularity What a pretty pickle this country will be in if that commission finds out that England’s boundary line in Venezuela is the right one! Where’s your war talk then? What was the purpose of that message? Blamed if I can see why the coutry was stirred up over the Monroe d .-etrine, when we didn’t know wether it is being violated nr not. The trouble is that Mr. Cleveland went off half cocked. It seems to me that the sensible thiDg to have done would have been to appoint a commission, find out who is right and then issue inflammatory messages. Every man who does business was injured, to some extent, by that I believe that; when the people begin to see' the. thing with sense, the president will be scored.

■ * . I have no hesitation in declaring that a tariff for revenue only -- that is, n tariff law under whose provisions the largest amount of revenue .can be raised in the easiest manner fpr the Groverii-meut-\vould be more disastrous to our people thau Free Trade, for, while it would leave open and free competition to all countries in everything we raise or manufacture, it would increase the costj of those we cannot and yet must have, the factor of competition being left out. —W. P. Frye, United States Senator.
