THE following article in memoriam of
Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson will known
to residents of this county is taken from
the Dubuque Herald
"On Sunday last, at the very hour
when happy children gather to the Sun
day school to voice Gods praise, the
sweet spirit of an equally sweet man
nered Christian lady passed to thegreat-
er glory of seeing face to face the Fa-
Their of us all. Mrs. Thompson claimed
as her nativity the beautiful English
town of Olney in Buckinghamshire,
where, as the daughter of James
Knight, she grew to interesting and Gull
tivated womanhood. In 1912, when
twenty years had moulded mind and
form to full-maturity, she married John
Thompson, a resident of the same place.
Immediately after marriage the young
couple dared the terrors of the deep to
seek home in the land where merit
makes men, and worth makes wom-
en-, and settled in Richmond, Virginia,
where they remained for three years.
In 1915, they came west to st. Louis,
and from there north on steamer, on
oO"i" VI NihOl IhCy WlIHCu AHG dC-
quaintance of Scion Langworthy and
family. which acquaintance subse-
quently ripened into an intimacy of
friendship the memory of which will
last with those surviving while the heart
itself cherishes affection. Coming up
the river they settled in Potosi, Wiscon-
sin, where in April, 1872. she was left "a
widow. After her husbands death she
made her home with the family of Judge
Cole, Madison, now chief justice of
Wisconsin, with whom she lived until
the death of Mrs. Cole some two years
thereafter. Since that time she has
lived with Mrs Horace Pool of this
city, visiting occasionally her Wisconsin
friends.
Mrs. Pool, the daughter of her first
Iowa friend, with other fond hands, ten
derby smoothed and ministered to all
the wants that cluster around the final
scene.
Mrs. Thompson was, indeed, super
Tor lady, with a nature SO refined and
| gentle, so frank, sincere and cordial,
that acquaintance became friendship,
regard. affection. Still these friends
were not many, for she was singularly
modest and retiring.
| She died without surviving relative,
but with the affection of friends meas
ured only by brothers. and sister S
love. To-day there will go softly and
tenderly with her to the cold, hard
sepulchre, those who feel they can do no
! more as they place upon the casket a
flower, that she perhaps had trained
and licensed it with sacred tears, that
make death with love to grieve, 4
sweeter thing than life without.

THERE are rumors that the small pox
has obtained footing in Burton and
that several who have died there recent

Tins of small pox. Too much evidence
should not, however, be placed on these
reports as the recent Reetown scare is
proof, if any were needed, that, rumors
are not always to be trusted. Until
these assertions are verified by direct

MADISUN, jan. DUH, IooZ.
FRIEND HUBBELL:-Yours of the 9th
inst. is received. In reply will say that
there seems to be strong following to
the project for repeating the law of 1881
relative to the building of County Insane
Asylum for the chronic insane. 1t is I'M
certain, quite so, as to whether the pres
ent law will remain in force. In view
of this fact, it would seem eminently
proper that your committee take no ac-
ton in regard to the building of our
asylum until the matter is settled, for
Grant county will hardly want to take
care of her chronic insane, and in addi-
ton thereto be taxed to care for those of
other counties at state institutions.
Sincerely Yours.

Ice cutting is an industry at present
occupying the attention of those who
intend storing away a stock of this con
gealed luxury for summer use Most Of
the ice packed in this city will be proba-
bly, brought from Woodman. The ice on
the river at that point has made finely
during the cold snaps recently and now
shows a thickness of from twelve to
fourteen inches. A party went down
from here the fore part of the present
week to cut for John S. Wright, and
others will doubtless follow. The cost
of transportation is six dollars per car
while parties are offering to fill cars at
the slough, near Woodman, where the
cutting is done, for five dollars per car.
AT these figures the cost of sherry cob
lers and lemonade should not be exhor-
bitant the coming summer.
