DEATH OF CHARLES sToTLER.

DEATH OF CHARLES STOTLER
The most painful duty of our life de-
wolves upon us this week, in announcing
the death OF CHARLES STorLER, brother 70
the editor of this paper. He died at the hos
pital, at Fayetteville, Arkansas, of a wound
received at the battle of Prairie Grove.
while bravely lighting for his country, 10
the defense of one of Gen Blunts batteries.
He enlisted in Company c, Eleventh Kan
sas, under Major Plumb, last August His
wound was not at first supposed TO be NOR
tai. The skull was broken, and pieces
pressed on the brain, rendering it necessary
to remove them; and it was not till after this
operation-ealied among medical men ''tre
panning" performed, that be died
He was suffered to linger nearly month !,
before his wound was properly attended to
by the surgeon; and it is the opinion of those
whom we have seen from Fayetteville, IL at,
had the wound received due attention at
first, he would probably have lived Many
surgeons seem to think soldiers life is of
no>consequence, and let them go till the last
moment. 1t would be good thing if such
brutes could carry little cold lead in their
lazy brains a short time. The soldiers life
is Of vastly more importance than theirs.
Charles Stoter was born in Clinton coun-
ty, Ohio, in February, 1887, where he lived
until he came to Kansas, in March. 1859.
He learned his trade in the Office of the
Clinton Republican, at Wilmington, Ohio,
being an apprentice when we were foreman
of the same office. He had worked in this
office nearly all the time since March, 1859.
IS He was of genial temperament and al
ways drew around him warm friends.-
Very few young men were so universally
beloved and respected, and no one found in
him a false friend His education was lin
tied, but he had acquired large and use
full fund of knowledge by observation and
application to study. His private letters
show that his composing powers were bet
ter than usual for young men of his limited
advantages. His style was bold, PLAIN, and
to the point. He would have made an able
writer
Before leaving home with the company
he expressed the opinion. solemnly, to the
family, that he would never see them again
that he should fall in the first battle in
which he might be engaged. No attention
was paid to this at the time; but the result
shows that he seemed to have been endow ed
with the spirit of prophecy. He felt it al
the time, and alas it has proved to be
too true.
He sleeps his last sleep beneath the
traitorous soil Of Arkansas, another sacrifice
to Slavery. He is numbered with Empo-
ria's heroic sons who fell at Wilson s
Creek-mourned by the whole community
He is another innocent victim OF the hellish
designs of scheming, usurping politicians,
who, if they had their deserts, would be
burning with the fire that's never quenched
"There's rest in the grave
Life's tolls are all past,
Night cometh at last;
How calmly l rest
In the sleep of the best,
Nor hear life's storms rave
Ger my green grassy grave"

nearly completed. 1t will be ready for grind

high. 1t has all the modern fixtures and
improved machinery for first class water
mill AS yet, Mr. Soden has put in but
one run Of burrs. II is his intention, "a
business increases, to put in three others,
and also an engine. This mill will be one
of our institutions, and a great blessing to
this part of the country. Enough grain has
been hauled from this vicinity this season

this year. We hope this will not be the
case in the future. Mr.. Soden's energy in
pushing his work to completion thus early,
will be rewarded.
