DIED:

SHERMEI-On the 10th ifsst, in Dela-
ware township, Emmarene Shermer, daugh-
ter Of Ellen and Charles A. Shermer, aged
II days, 5 months and is days.
Little Dollie,
Gently she came.
Forming our home in a finished chain,
Sweetly she smiled,
As from the heart of a favored child.
Calmly she slept,
While the angels their silent vipils kent.
Mild Was the grace
That shaddowed forth in that fair Young
face.
Too pure her heart
To share for once in sinful part.
She did not know
What it was 70 live IN a world of woe,
But came to this
To be transferred TO world Of bliss.
She was hailed With joy or tie unseen
shore,
By angels who had crossed before;
at the sound of theiI voices methinks she
awoke-
Awoke to know Of a wondrous birth,
That had brought her forth from a sinful
earth;
Awoke TO knowledge Of heavenly tf-ings,
And TO play on harp of a thousand strings.
Her form reclines in those heavenly bowers.
While her lap is filed with unfading flowers
Her breath is sweet as the blossoms fair,
She twines in a wreath for her golden hair I;
And ever anon with her gentle hands,
She culls the gems from the glittering sands,
And ever and ever her tircless feet

ANOTHER FfaE.- On last Friday
morning at about Z o'clock the cabinet
maker shop of Mr.. A. p. Nickel in this
borough, was discovered to be on fire.
An alarm was raised, and a number Of
citizens at once proceeded to the scene
of the Gre, but the flames were burst
ing through the roof, and the heavy
frame building could not be saved by
any possible exertion then to be made
The shop and its contents of lumber,
tools and ready made work, we're all
destroyed. There was no insurance.
The loss will be serious one to Mr.
Nickel, who is an industrious and en-
terprislng mechanic and his neighbors
sympathize with him in his misfortune.
The building was new, large and sub
stautial. The snow on the adjacent
buildings prevented in great measure
the Ere from endangering them. A ire

THERE is a rumor current that Alice

the flames she sprang into the canal
The fearful burning she received and
the severe chill that was caused by the

Solomon Stevenson Mcpherson county,
ii was admitted on all hands at Ellsworth
that Mr.. Stevens would be nominated
upon the first ballot and so he was. His
competitors were Mr.. Morse of Rice
county and Mr.. l.. Sternberg of Els
worth county. Upon the nomination
of Mr.. Stevens, the qualification of the
house thcrcat was plainly manifested BY
the prolonged applause. Delegates from
the different counties arose in their seats
and in behalf of their respective eoun-
ties pledged the solid support of Repub-
lican voters. The convention adjourn.

Some of the editors who bolted Gov.
Osborn's nomination do not find the
Cusey tack as popular as they supposed
it would be. From all parts Of the
State reports come up that Osborne is
gaining strength every day. The Old,
exploded charges against him, which
have been rendered in "new words and
new music" are having little effect upon
him in the canvass. These charges were
made before his first and repeated before
his second nomination. In spite of
them he was indorsed by the Repubi-
cans of both conventions. Now the
question arises are these boiling editors
right,or are the people all wrong. We are
rather disposed to side with the people
rather than with few sore heads who
can bring up no tangible objections to
Gov. Osborn, nor his administration. We
hear the boiling editors talk of the "cor-
rupt Tom" but when we ask them to
prove that be is corrupt, there is no an
swer. We are Of the opinion that the
editors are getting sick of their
bargain and now wish they had support
