OBITUARY.

To fheEda0r of the Eagle:
AFroN, Oct. l4.-Miss Eta Sparks, who
had not yet passed her seventeenth summer.
died the 9Th inst, after four weeks illness
She was born in Lagrange county, Indiana,
November 6, 1867. Though she had resided
among us but few short months she was q
young lady much loved by many and liked
BY all who knew her. The feelings and
sympathies of the entire community arr
fully enlisted with the bereaved parents and
brother, to whom it has been severe blow
Our own loss, though comparatively small
TO theirs, will be greatly felt, and
Though We would not
Bring back from heaven that
Which God has taken there,
Nor cause one more pain to
That gentle form, which
Last we saw, though dressed
In the bridal shroud
OF death, so calmly sleeping
Meath the shining motto
OF 'All Rest" while the spirit
Which late had so animated
1t with life had flown,
And far above the stars in angel
Form was a burning light
Around Gods throne.
We yet in memory
Can see her as she was
When in the guileless innoeency
OF youth she with Us in
Our social circle met
And with laughing eye and
Smiling face joined in
Our song and mirth, and
At Sunday school, where
Often she with Us went
The graver truths of life to learn,
And again at home where
Sweetly to her parents wishes yielding
We see her a companion
Kind, as well as sister loving
So considerate Of all whom
God mad made to her So near,
We can but wish in His wisdom
He had left her longer
With us here.
The young folks of Rising Star, her late AS
sociate COMPANIONS.

We hope that our committee will make
arrangements for last Grand Rally next

harm. Those who are not for the Republi-
can party as against the mugwump combina-
ton ought to be shown up.

Mr.. David Robson, ir., of Toledo, Ohio,
father Of the gentlemen who compose the
well known dry goods firm of that name, of
this city, is here and made us q pleasant
call yesterday morning. Mr.. Robson is a
polished gentleman, urbane, vet full of life,
and for business man takes great interest in
the political affairs of the country. In the
Toledo papers We have noticed that he was
prominent in all the demonstrations made
by the Republicans in northern Ohio. From
this We had an idea that he must be strong
and brusque, but we find him quiet and un-
obtrusive. MIR, Robson was very compli-
mentary in his remarks about Wichita, her
people and her morning paper, which, of
course, pleased US. He win return to Ohio
in time to save his vote for Blaine and
Logan.

A very pretty and new illuminated sign
has been swung to the breeze in front of
the store of Louis Ranke on the avenue.
This sign announces to the people of our
city and community the fact that Mr.. Ranke
has engaged in the merchant tailoring bush

he formerly confined his business to cleaning
OF the trade, having force enough to do all

The Contrast.


The quiet and earnest gathering in
Albany yesterday was in i'm aggressive
accord with the Democratic campaign
as conducted thus far. The best feature
of the party's proceedings since the Chi,
cago nominations is the absence Of fuss
and feathers, bugle blare and gunpowdsr
fash. By this time in 1850 the Demo
Gratis had elected Hancock by profuse
expenditure OF lung power, noise of brass
bands, tapping Of banners and erection
of poles, all Of which was mistaken for
enthusiasm and effective work. The
cold weather. came in October and No
vember.
This year the Democrats are not
spending their time and money that
way. The nominations have been Iati.
fed in decent and orderly way, and
with becoming dignity. There is no
lack OF sincerity nor Of earnestnesS in the
support which the party gives them, but
1t understands, better than ever, that
quiet effective, thorough, comprehensive
organization Is better than bluster.

SOME of the mendacious Republican
newspapers are circulating u story that
Gov. Cleveland vetoed bill which had
been passed in the interest of the work
ing people of New York city, enabling
them to ride on the elevated railways for
five cents. Such an allegation Is n mis-
statement and Misrepresentation The
workingmen and working women Of
that city, as we'll as all Others, can now
ride any distance on those lines for five
cents from halfpas five to half.past
eight a. M, and from half past four to
half-past seven p. M, the hours when
these lines are used by working peo.
ple." The law, which Gov. Cleveland
vetoed, on constitutional grounds,
recognized as valid by the most eminent
anti-monopolists of the state, did not
materially affect the early and late
travelling working men and women, but
sought to make uniform rate, giving
the laborers, seamstresses, clerks, and
working people generally no advantage
whatever.
