Death OF Mrs. Downing.

Mrs. Belinda Downing, who has been
lying very seriously i'll at the Park
Place hotel for some weeks past, de-
parted this life at o O'Clock Thursday
morning, at the age Of 40 years. Last
spring her son, Mr.. T. D. Downing,
came to Kansas from London, Ohio, and
after prospecting in this vicinity for
some weeks purchased the farm of Mr..
Spencer, in Chase county about
thirteen miles from Emporia. His
mother Joined him in May, and together
they took possession of their new home,
which as timepass ed by both learned to
like. although the life was entirely
different from what either had been
accustomed to. The mother was
devoted to the interests of her
son and in her he found a cheerful and
faithful help-meet whose place can new
er be supplied. Some three months ago
Mrs. Downing fell i'll and her disease
was pronounced by the physicians who
were called to see her, enlargement OF
the liver. Her son Immediately brought
her 10 this city and secured quarters for
her at the Par K Place hotel, where she
had every attention which could have
been commanded in her own home, but
the loving assiduities of friends and the
skill of medical attendants were alike
powerless TO stay the course OF the NAL
ady which prayed upon her life, and af.
ter much patient suffering she quietly
fell TO sleep and is forever at rest.
Mrs. Downing was almost a lifelong
member of the NJ E. church and was an
earnest, sincere christian no less in
fact than in name. She was a lady of
exceptional grace of manner, and won
all hearts by her charming attributes OF
mind and heart. Her son is the only
near relative who survives her and he
must bear alone the great grief which
hiss darkened his life. He started in the
evening for Urbana, Ohio, with the re
mains where they viii be laid to rest

town of Parkerville, forty miles north of

vine services that evening. Ithappened
that lawsuit was going on, aud three
lawyers from Council Grove, Miller.
Maloy and Bradley, and Waterbury, of
this city, were kept over night there
with loose evening on their hands,
and they resolved TO attend the Nor
mon meeting. The matter got noIsed
around and large audience of Gentiles
greeted the Latter Day Saints. At ths
commencement the preachers expressed
their willingness to answer any ques-
tions that might be asked them concern
ing their faith and practice, and the
contract which they thus assumed
proved to be an elephant on their hands.
They were thoroughly chatecised con.
corning the Mountain Meadow massa
ere and kindred facts of their history, the
mysteries of the Endowment House, the
denominations Of polYgamy, the imposi
tion of the Book of Mormon and Joe
Smiths prophecy. Their lying apollo
| gies and excuses were ransacked
and they were confronted with Lees
confession and the evidence which had
become public throughout the United
States courts, till finally they were com
