s.-Grayeyards are hec-
essities. Graveyards should be Wis.
tied sometimes. Graveyards haze to
be visited occasionally. But the frc-
quenting of these places by the
tho oughtless, frivolous youngsters Of
the community on Sundays is neith-
er necessary nor right; in fact it is a
nuisance and should be abated. Wis
it's to these places by the aisinterest-
ed class mentioned to great extent
destroy the sacredness of those
spots, by being the rendezvous for
vulgar, idle and obscene desecrators.
And the results of these visits are
frequently damaged tombstones, and
the stealing of vases and flowers. Peo-
pie have right to visit grayeyards,
but not to unthinkingly destroy
property. Our sections can't stay in
the cemeteries and guard them. We
write this at the suggestion Of par.
ties who have suffered at the hands
of idle, vicious visitors to the Gene
teries of this city. Can't the Com
mon Council do something TO rem.
edy this evil.

Rock Branch. On reaching the
ground, Mr.. $. left the lad in charge
of the team, and when the eonsulta-
ton was concluded and they were
about to get into Mr.. SIS wagon, the
team got frightened at something,
and, with the little boy tagging at
the lines, and three spools of barbed
fence wire and q hall keg of nails
dancing about the wagon bed, they
galloped down The hill toward the
cliffs and large boulders, on reach
ing which the horses veered to one
side, turning the wagon over several
times The lad when picked up was
bleeding from scratches on the face,
and one of his arms was found to
be broken between the wrist and ell
bow. Two of the spools of wire
were thrown and rolled down the
cliffs into the hay bottom, some SOC
or 400 yards from where the wagon
capsized; and the horses were found
entangled in han ness aud brush half
way down the decliyity. A witness
to the accident tells us he was sure
the boy could not get out of the
wagon without being killed, and the
runaway was the maddest he ever
witnessed. The boy was brought
home and DR.. Vivian was called
who Immediately set the fracture
the little fellow now seems to be do
ing nicely.

floor was heavy with the odor of gas.
he Immediately began an investiga-
ton and traced the escape TO room

White. The watchman made sew

the sleeping inmate, and thinking
that the escaping gas had done its
deadly work, forced an entrance,

DIED IN LIrE's BLooM.---Last
Monday morning about o'clock
John Yates received a dispatch dat
ed, Warren, ILL.,, from his son-in-law,
VIM. Bunt, to "Meet me at the train
with hearse." This was the first
intimation the family had of illness
even. Our readers will remember
that Miss Mary Yates was married
the sth Of last July, to Mr.. VIM.
Bunt, of LeMars, Iowa, where they
have since resided. Last Saturday
forenoon Mrs. b. gave birth to Il
child, and shortly after dangerous
symptoms appeared, and at 8 P. NJ
she expired. About noon Mary's
parents were telegraphed to Come
Immediately; Mary very ill., On
her death, another dispatch stating
the fact was sent here, neither of
which was received at our telegraph
Office until some twenty minutes af-
Ter the Warren dispatch had been
delivered; and consequently its re
ceipt was overwhelming and hard to
be understood. The corpse was ac.
companied by Mr.. b. and his mar
ried sister, Mrs. Rogers, and on its
arrival was taken to Mr.. Yates resi-.
dence. In the afternoon the funeral
took place at Dodgeville, where 9th
er members of the family are buried.
Mary was well known to most of our
citizens, and was highly esteemed
by those who knew her best; for
she was modest, quiet little woman.
Her age was 25 years. AT Mary's
request the babe was brought to this
city and will be reared by Mrs Yates.
The general term used in discuss
ing this sudden death is, at is a SAT
affair" If sad for our community
to contemplate, what must it be to
the mother who was preparing to
pay her daughter a visit next week,
and anticipating great pleasure in
the trip and stay in LeMars? The
sorrow stricken family have the sym
path y Of the entire community.
