ONE MISSING.


On Friday evening March 18th at
1880 o'clock the spirit of our dear
friend Ada Morgan was summond to
the presence of the Great High Priest
and on the following Sabbath train
of mourning friends followed the body
to the Cemetry, there to witness the
deposit of all that was mortal, in its
last resting-place. Her loss will be
deeply felt by all with whom she was
associated. For several years past the
circle in which she moved had been
uDbroken by the hand of death. II
is true many were missing whose
bright countenance and joyous laugh
lent an added charm to the gay and
happy throng; but then We knew
that they were but going to some
place probably not far distant, so with
many mutual good-wishes we bade
them goodbye, always anticipating a
pleasant meeting sometime in the
future. But the Band" at last is
broken, and the fairest flower of all
missing. Why it is SO, is not for US
to say. We know that such was the
will of the All-wise Being, and that
should suffice. She was an earnest
true hearted christian, and therefore
better prepared to meet death, than
most any other of that number. How
we shall miss that sweet voice which
was so often raised in songs of
praise to her Maker. But what
is our loss is her gain; and she
Is now no doubt with the star-crowned
hosts of glory joining with them in
the praises of the Redeeiner,
before the "Great White Throne"
We would not call her back to this
world of sin and sorrow if we could.
But though she may not return to US,
we may goto her. The circle is brok-
en- and we know not how soon Others |
may follow, and how pleasant
'twould be If the remaining ones of
that number would strive to tune their
harps to God, so thai at the last we
should form an unbroken band "Over
In that other Land" where pain and |
sorrow, sickness and death never
,ometh but where all is peace and joy /

understand that II is a very satisfac

fairs, in that State. While the plan
suggested would give the people bet

increase the amount now paid for

wousan's Crusade Against whlsk,

The women's war sg8inst whisky
still continues. with undated zeal, in
the Western States. We CLEAN from
our exchanges some of the most in
teresting news in regard to the great
movement, showing the varied man-

successes, crosses and defeats.
At Fort Scott. Kan, the first earn

O'Clock. The. ladies were on hand
promptly, and took with them about
twenty ragged and hungry little ones,
the children of drunkards. The lit
tie fellows pitched in and filled up,
and the women prayed, and tipplers
drank. The unexpected part of the
crowd were treated courtsously by
landlord, who invited them to call
again when they got hungry.
At Columbus, Ohio, where the cru
saders have not heretofore been treat
ell very cordially by bummers. It is
reported as positive fact, that while
the ladies were at prayer, the gaping
spectators uncovered their heads.
At temperance mass meeting in
Terre Haute, Ind, recently, 1000 peo.
pie were present.
When ladies go the second time

I A correspondent to the Omaha Re
publican has recently bad an inter
view with Gov. Furnas, In which the
Swami Land Commissioners business
and the action of Gov. Furnas in ap-
| plviug for arms, were freely discuss
ed, and the explanations which the
! Governor made bear upon their face
the stamp of truth. and exonerate
him from blame in the premises. -
WeSt Point Republican.
We are pleased to see occasionally a
paper of the State disposed to act hon.
crably toward Gov. Furnas by giving
their readers the Governors explana-
lions and defense, as we'll as the gross
~ malicious charges that emanate
from that shameless sheet, the Omaha
Herald. We regret that 1t Is s fact
that there are Republican newspapers
within the State, that, with the great
est avidity. grab at any slanderous
morsel which may be started about
the Governor, and foster it as it tray-
els on its mission 10 deceive. But
when denial and positive proof of its
falsity is produced. they seem to have
forgotten entirely the egood old injunc
ton to do unto others as they would
wish to be done by. and refuse to do
justice by their neighbor and fellow
men.
The publication by the Omaha Her |
aid that the Governor had deceived |
the people with regard to his appoint
ments in the swamp laud matter, was
copied by most of the papers in the
State. Notwithstanding that pubIica-
ton has been ascertained TO be absO-

1lers of the slander, yet it Is very sell

'acts, and the readers of these unfair
ournaIs are left to believe q lie as
hey have been taught by their local
papers. So in regard to the Govern
,r's efforts to procure arms, the papers
leedlessly and thOughtlessly, and in
many cases, no doubt, wontonly,
worked themselves into an attitude of
enseless warfare upon the Governor,
Who was doing, and finally accom- (

State aud the security of the people {
