AFTER fully fourteen years of
suffering from a cancer Mrs. James
Beaumont died at her home in this
city on Friday morning, and from
what we can learn death proved a
happy release. The cancer first
made its appearance near the cheek

gnawing the very vitals of life, de-
spite the best medical treatment OBJ.

that side were totally destroyed

which did much in cheering the
aggrieved and forlorn husband and

LAST Friday terminated the life
of one of Dodgeville's Oldest citi-
zens, Mr., Henry Prideaux, perhaps
more readily known as "Cap'n r."
He located at that village in '3s,
and remained there ever since with
the exception of brief period
spent in the gold fields Of the Pa
citic slope. On the Monday preyi-
Gus to his death, which was one OF
the hottest days of the season, he
became prostrated through exposure
to the hot sun, and from that on life
gradually weaned itself from the
body. lie was a man well liked, to
which the immense throng that at
tended his funeral on Sunday will
testify. His age was about 90 years

The editor of this paper has more
than once been blamed for emitting to
publish notices of marriages and deaths
throughout the county, when in fact
the relatives or friends of the married
or deceased were remiss IN their duty
Bro Fisher, of the Pennington Times,
has no doubt had similar experience,
judging from the following item taken
from his paper:
Local papers are frequently blamed for not
publishing notices of death, marriage, etc,
when the fault does not lie with them. 1t is
necessary to know of such occurrences be-
fore the publisher can give notices of them.
If friends of deceased persons would take the
trouble to send the publisher the names, age,
date of death, etc., the notices would always
appear. 1t is impossible for publishers to
know all these facts, even if he is aware that
death has visited some family in the neigh
borhood. In giving marriage notices it is al
so necessary that the names of the contract
ing parties, the officiating minister and the
date should be known. Ministers could send
these items, but it is seldom they do. Such
notices are not charged for, and the friends
who would like TO see them in the paper and
do not take the trouble to send the informa-
ton to the publisher, ought not to blame
anybody but themselves.

John Walker was tried at West
Plains last week for having aided bis
brother, Newton Walker, to break Jail
At the close of the case for the State
the defendants attorney moved to dis.
charge the prisoner on the ground that
the State had failed to show that any
person charged with felony was in
the Jail at the time. The Judge held
the ground we'll taken, and on his in
struction the jury brought in a verdict
mot guilty." The Journal, speaking
of the matter. says:
"Our Prosecuting Attorney, Mr.. Winning
ham, made little oversight in the John
Walker case, but he can console himself
with the reflection that eminent lawyers
have made even worse, and beside, the com
munity generally are glad on Walkers ac-
count that he made it. He's fortunate man
il he never makes a greater error"

1t was expected that the shipment of
peaches this week would largely in
crease, but on Monday there were con-
siderably less than car load and YES
terday still less. The Beatrice and
other early varieties were marketed
last week and the yield of Hale's
which are being shipped this week is
small. They are bringing in New
York $1.1O to $125 per basket and in

In the construction of the new large
building for the headquarters of the
Superintendent of the Delaware Divis-
ion, gas pipes have been placed ahead
of the plasterers in every part likely to
be needed. But the gas is another
question. To light the building with
oil would require the services of man
to keep the lamps in order and attend
to them through the night, and there
would be economy as well as conven-
ience in the use of gas. The main diff.
ficulty is in getting a supply. The
company will have to erect some kind
of generator or connect by pipe at
considerable expense with that of this
town which terminates at the depot
The latter must at the least be the
most satisfactory,

Andrew Sisco is making great
change i'll the property bought two

one Of the best properties in that part

erected building with 80 feet front,
16 feet deep, thus giving them a parlor
and sitting room both front.

The great concern of the farmers
now is to get their wheat threshed and
to this they are bending every energy
so they may have it out of the way
before the peach gathering commences.
The changed condition of farming dur
ing the past few years has rendered
the substitution of steam for the slower
horse power method absolutely neces-
sary, and there are to-day ig q radius
of six or eight miles of this town Is of
these steam threshers owned by the
following persons: ]. Frank Denney,
who owns two; Isaac Taylor, VIM. V.
Skellenger, Edward Smeed, Jas. G..
Powell, John E. Wilson, ]. P. Staats,
John Allfree, Jas. d. Wright, Alexan-
der G. Cummins, Jacob Shahan, A.

These machines will do more work,
but taking the loss of time in removing
setting, &C., they will average only
perhaps between 300 and 400 each OF
say 5000 bushels per day. There are
farmers who retain the old method Of
horse power for greater safety and con.
venience, which added to the other
will make the daily amount of wheat
threshed something like 5000 bushels.
This has been going on since the first
week in July.
