The town OF Stone Arabia lies about four miles
north OF Palatine Bridge, ana contains some very
excellent land, whose crops have made the people
rich, hut a class they ignorant and much be-
hind the age, and retain IN many cases the br0gu0
of Holland. In this town Charles Eacker was born
forty-nne years ago, and here. he desired to be
buried. Among the most degraded OF the 'stone Rob-
by Dutch,n they termed, are Eacker's kindred
A week before his death they had invited the widow
bring the boay there. and hence on Friday after
noon the undertaken started with hearse and coffin for
the place. The widow remained behind, intending to
20 up on Sabbath when the funeral was TO take place
the remains with decent respect, but he was most
dlsagreeably surprised when he reached his desti-
nation. The first place he stopped at was at the;
house OF John Eacker (brother of Charles whose.

and he asked John what should be done. Jonn didn't
care was ne dd 6n put s me might and try Lon
distance of half mile. The undertaken came
there with the coffin, and was again greeted by teml-
nine innocence. Lon'sswoman cursed and SwOre as
bad almost as Johns, and addeo that "the ID
thing would spook the house." Lon Joined in with
the woman, although he had personally invited the
funeral for at first It had been proposed to bury the
body at Fonda. where 1t would have had decent

NAMED from Friday night until the Sabbath By
that time grave had been dug In the family plotr
and the funeral took place in an orchard near tho
carpenters shop. Rev. Nicholas Vert pastor OF the
Lutheran church, oficiated. He Is judicious maI:

Vert then proceeded with an able discourse on tne
words '.lf We live according TO the nesn ye SHAH

to the grave. There was large attendance AZ the
orchard, goodly portion OF which attended the

brought back to Fonda. Another story Is that DIT.
Eisenord or Palatne, had restored him to life. He
was only stunned aud had ''come to-" and was now
around his Old home. At St. townsville the report

had been held over the corpse ana the result was
that ne had been brought to life again. These re-

true Judge Bockcs mai better get his life insured
quick as possible or else stay away from Fonda"
However, the fact may now be considered az
capable OF demonstration that Eacker Is five feet
underground and that II he be still alive he cannot
live great while anyhow. Mr.. B0ckes may there
fore lay aside all fear and come to Fonda whenever
he shall zee 1t TO On HQS
