Chairman Hanna and Chairman Jones have directed that October 31 be observed as patriotic or flag day by the republicans and democrats, respectively, throughout the country. A heavy run was made on the sub treasury at San Francisco for gold the fore part of this week. Greenbacks poured in like an avalanche for redemption. Timely aid from Chicago and -others sources prevented the subtreasury from being entirely robbed of its gold reserve. When the run closed there was but 84,000,000 left on hand.

He gave one of the clearest and most forcible explanations of the republican position on the money and tariff questions that it has been the privilege of our people to listen to during this campaign.

The Tyner Dedication. The dedication of the new U. B. church at Tyner last Sunday was a grand success in every way. Long before the hour of service the house was filled to overflowing. The children were asked to pass out of the room and give their seats to . older persons, which was done, and then not near all the crowd could be accommodated on the inside. Rev. G. Sickafoose preached the dedicatory sermon from the words, “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the first.” The sermon was a master production of literary and scriptural material. At the close of the sermon a statement was read from the trustees showing a debt of $378.60 to which was added sufficient to make $450.00 to pay the debt and buy a fine bell. Mr. Sickafoose called for a subscription to cover this amount, which was generously responded to by the ladies’ aid society, giving first SSO, then afterward $25 more. Then the trustees $25 each and others $lO and $5 and smaller amounts till all was done giving and the secretary an^oypeed that $540 had been given. Then the house was solemnly dedicated to Almighty God according to the ritual of the United Brethren church. On Sunday evening Rev. Sickafoose preached another able sermon, after which the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered. The house is 40 by 52 in two departments, the main auditorium being 30 by 40. The other room is 24 by 30, with beautiful raised doors between for a petition. The inside woodwork is finished in grooved hard pine of excellent grain, and is finished in hard oil varnish. The windows are of fine cathedral glass with small pannels all around them. The pews are to be of antique oak for the main room and oak folding chairs for the other room. The chairs were in the house but the pews did rot come in time for the dedication. Seats were borrowed from the M. E. church. The pulpit is built large and covered with handsome ingrain carpet on which set 24 nice chairs including three tine pulpit chairs. The lamps and chandeliers are the best. The house is a gem of beauty and is first class throughout. Rev. Riley and the trustees with their members and friends are to be congratulated in being so successful in building such a church and paying for it these hard times. Death of Mrs. Alice Leßoy. Alice Genette Leßoy, wife of Charles Leßoy, and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Smith, died at her home in Walkerton October 26, aged 20 years, 6 monthsand 20 days. Her death was very sudden, she being sick a little less than a week. The physicians, relatives and friends did all they could to save her life, but to no avail. How sad in the prime of life to be taken away from those who most dearly love us; but such is death. It is no respecter of persons. She was highly respected by her many young friends on the Island. She was not a member of any church, but knowing that her departure was near, she wisely made provision for the future by calling on the Savior for salvation. She prayed till she had an evidence of her acceptance, then told her relatives all was well, and she was ready to go. The funeral service was conducted at the U. B. church by Rev. Riley in the presence of a very large congregation. She leaves a husband, father and mother, one brother, together with many other relatives and friends to mourn. All of these have the sympathy of their many friends and neighbors. She was laid to rest in the Walkerton cemetery. “Bless ed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” ,1. W. R. Hog Cholera.
