CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

1t would seem that the body of this
illustrions explorer is destined to as
much vicissitude as its owner had.
We have lately seen that Columbus
remains are about to be removed to q
splendid new cemetery at Havana.
The New Orleans Picayune gives the
following interesting account Of tho
! body's travels:
| Columbus died Ascension day, the
30th of May, 1906, in about the sew
enticth year of his age. His obsc-
Qnies were celebrated with great
pomp at ValladoIid, and his body de-
posted in the convent of San Fran
cisco. Thence, nine years after, in
the year 1913, it was removed to the
Carthusian monastery OF Seville, where
likewise was deposited the body of
his son Diego Twcnty-thrcc years
after, in the year 1886, the bodies Of
both the Admiral aud his son were re-
moved with appropriate pomp and
ceremonies, to the New World he had
discovered, and inferred in the princi-
pal city of San Domingo, H'spanloIa.
There they remained undlsturbed Tor
u period of 259 years.
In the year 1875, however, at the
close OF the war between France and
Spain, all the Spanish possessions in
the island of IIispaniola were cedcd
to France, whercupon request was
preferred to the French Governor to
have the remains Of Columbus removed
to Cuba. The request was granted.
and on the 20th Of December, 1895,

mingo was for the first time in nearly
three hundred years opened. With
! in" saws the record of the event,
were found the fragments OF lead
en- coffin, number Of bones, and
quantity of mold, evidently the re-
mains OF human body. These were
carefully collected and put into a case
Of gilded lead, about half an ell in
length and breadth, and third III
hight. secured hy an iron lock, the
key of which was delivered to the
Archbishop. The case was inclosed
in a coffin, covered with fine black
velvet, and ornamentcd with lace and
fringe Of gold.
After appropriate funeral ceremo-
nics the body was taken on board the
ship san Lorenzo. and taken to Hava-
! ma, where it arrived on the 10Th Of
.January, 1896. 1t was received in
the most solemn manner, with all the
honors given to a sovereign. On ar
irving at the mole, the remains were
met by the Governor Of the island, ac-
companicd by his general and military
staff. The coffin was then conveyed
between files of soldicry, which lined
the streets, to the obclisk, i'll the Place
ITArmcs, where it was received in
hearsc prepared for the purpose. Here
the remains were formally delivered to
the Governor and Captain-General OF
the Island, the key given up to him.
the coffin opened and examined, and
the safe transportation Of its contents
authenticated
The ceremony concluded, the SOL
cmn rites for the dead were performed
by the Archbishop, aud the remains
of the great discoverer were again
deposited in the wall, on the right
side of the grand altar of the Cathc-
dral of Havana, where they have ever
since remained, the object of rever-
ence to all visitors of the Island.

And checks each rising murmuring sigh
"Thy word is truth - thy blessed word.
by which the SINNERS heart is stirred

Who laid aside his heavenly crown,
And 10 our ruined world came down!

men should tell US frankly that they are
not able to take the paper and not let us
find it cut after we have sent it to them

is a mother class of men who are able but
not willing to pay. These are the men
that we are out Of patience with, and we

oblige by telling US now and we will stop
sending it to them. We have been at
work day and night for them and the cause

all they owe US, we would not receive pay

they put us to such trouble about money.

We want no more of your lazy promises
If you do not intend to pay us until the
close of the year or for five years, don't
tell us that you will pay the next time
you come in town, for in nine cases out
of ten you tell us what turns out to be un-
true. BY your making us these false prom
ises you cause US to disappoint those who
have accommodated US, and thereby our
reputation for promptness is injured. which
is a great loss to any business man. If
you do not pay us you must see that we
cannot fulfill our promises. We want you
to think on this matter about week, ten
days. two weeks. end not longer than a
month; and then tell US what you are going
to do. but for your own sakes do not make
US any more false promises
To those Of orr subsc ribers who have

On looking over our lists we find that
we are under particular obligations to our

FROM THE INDIANA SENTINEL.
The Death CT Governor Willard.

We learn from those who were present at the
demise of Governor WILLARD that he died withou,
IA struggle. During the day that his death occur
red he was about his room and man tested lis
usual cheerfIlness, and about a moment before he
expired he was sitting upon the side of his bed in
pleasant conversation with The friends present.
lie laid himself down and Immediately his spirit
TOOK ITS flight calmy, gentle and almost unconsci
ously The striking characteristics which he ex-
ehbited in life attended him in death. For lono
time previous to his denise his energy mad been
greater that his bodily strength but his strong will
held out to the very last. He only yielded to the
disease which for years he had battled till he had
no longer strength to fight it.
Governor WILLIAMS is the first Execu tive in this
State who has died in office. And all who have
held that position dead excepting Gov WmGnr
and he is in a foreign land But few men had more
and warmer personal friends than Gov WILLARD.
His noble qualities of haed and heart and his gen
al temper, attached to his friends wherever
he went And from every quarter come tributes
to his personal worth, cOnsolins and greatful TO
his family and his friends.
the Louisville Journal, in a notice of his death,
says:
The telegraph brings the sad announcement
OF the death of the Hon. Ashbel P. Willard, Gov
ernor of Indiana. at St. Paul, Minnesota He fell
victim to pulmonary disease, which had been
wasting him for several months. OfGov. Willard
as a politician We have had to speak, often, in
terms Of censure, for we held no opinions in
comon with him. But we have never known man
of more generous feelings or possessing more of the
milk of human kindness. He was warm in his
friendships, and free aimsst TO lavishness with his
means to aid his fri ends. We deeply regret his
DEATH and deem il a privilege to record our warm
"ppreci alton ola valuod intimacy which had subsis
ted botweed us for many years.

Oglesbee. There was no electioneering
done against him that we heard of and his
pretened friends went quietly along and
drank over fifty dollars worth Of his beer
and traded him off fol votes for Oglesbee,
whose election they did everything to Sc :
cure. Not only did they lie on Shoemaker
but traded off their own candidates to Sc
cure the election of their pet. Fuller said
that they had nominated Hoham to trade
him off, and the result shows that this was
the object they had in view when they
placed him upon their ticket. Verify is
Hoham the victim...of misplaced conf
dence.
All in all, We haved gained great VIC
tory and had the other counties done AS
we'll Marshall and Starke. the State ticket
would have been elected by twenty thou
sand majority, instead of being defea ted
by probably over fifteen thousand We
are not discouraged. but feel confident
that we will carry this county for Douglas
in November.
The fight is now new one. as we now
know who our foes are, and who TO regard
as our friends and co workers With the
Breckinridge men ofthls county we have
no quarrel. Thew have worked manfull V
with Us to secure the election of our State
and county ticl cts. For this we give them
all credit. They doubtless considered
themselves under obligations to support
both of those tickets. and we believe they
have manfully and hsnorably discharged
that obligation. But in almost, ifnot quite
all the other counties in the State, the re-
suit confirms us in the belief that they
have either voted directly for the Repub-
lican State ticket or have refused TO sup
port the Democratic ticket that they help
! ed to pat IN nomination.. We hope they
will settle such an act with their ideas OF
consistency and honor. but for our Part
we do not see how they will do it.
The Republicans are making consider
able noise over what they call great vic
! tory. This is not right. Honor to whom
honor is DUE" should prevent their ma
king any demonstration only to, in some
appropriate manner, return thanks to their
allies who have fought their battle and
secured for them the victory they unjustly
claim as their own.
We "cave' SO far as the State is con.
cerned. The Republicans and Breckin-
ridge men are too many for us, but, Dem
ocrats, there is day coming wheD these
combined factions will not vote together
In November next they will each one have
seperate ticket to support and then We
will "come in We can and will carry
the State for Douglas. We will carry
Marshall county by proper effort. We
have only the small majority of "a to over
come. A change of l3 voters will bring
about the good result, provided things
should 60 as they did at the late election
This they will not do, as there are several
Breckenridge men in the county, who we
suppose will support that ticket This is
no time for the folding of hands, or for de-
spondency We have work to do, and
let us 60 at it.

WHEAT WANTED. We want our sub
scribers to bring us some wheat They
are grumbling because they cannot gel
100 per bushel, and promise to pay us
as soon as they can get the almighty
dollar" We will give them that amount
for wheat on subscription. So bring ii
along. This IL a fair offer. We want SOC
bushels at these figures. if it will be any
inducement to you to pay US what you
justly owe us.

"SALr RIVER. We positively refuse
to 90 up salt river. We have suffered no
loss politically, but OIL the other hand we
have gained between 60 and 70 votes and

scared the Republicans worse than they
can ever scare us. We propose to stay
where we ale and send cur opponents
