Obituary-NIrs. Nancy Coombs.

DIED.-At the residence OF j. Allen Coombs, at
Hurricane, March Goth, Mrs. Nancy Coombs, aged
81 years.
Deceased was born in Winchester,
Virginia, April IS, 1900. Her maiden
name was Hickman. She removed with
her parents to Fayette county, Pennsyl-
vania, in 1912, where in March 1920,
she was married to Edward r. Coombs.
They lived near Uniontown, until 1886,
when they emigrated to Wisconsin and
settled at Hurricane, which has since
been her home, and where, in 1849, her
husband died. They had ten children
and at the time she was left a widow,
four of them were under twelve years
of age-the youngest being under four.
Thrown thus upon her own resources.
with limited means, she had q hard
Struggle to provide for such a family;
but with a heroic resolution to keep
them all together, all difficulties were
overcome, and they were given the bene-
fits of home influence, a christian eX-
ample, and the best education afforded
by the district school. Three of them
became teachers, and all did everything
in their power to repay her devotion to
their interests.
For seventeen years she has been re-
leased from the burden of keeping a
home, and has lived in the family of her
Youngest son, where she has received
every care and kindness that could con-
duce to her happiness and smooth the
pathway of her declining years. She
and her husband united with the Bap-
fist church in Pennsylvania and brought
letters from that organization with them
to their new home at Hurricane, where,
at their house, on the first Sunday in
March, 1888, a Baptist church was or
gained under the pastorate of Rev.
Darius cambridge. This was the first
christian organization at the Hurricane,
the Methodists organizing at the resi-
dence of A. f. Kilby later in the same
year,
From the day of her conversion to the
day of her death, she was steadfast in
her belief, and lived life that COM
ported with her profession. Her un-
shaken faith remained her support to
the last, and she impressed those around
her with her confidence in the life be-
yond. Her constant prayers were for
her children and for patience to hear
her many bodily Affections. Her memory
was strong, and she retained conscious
ness to the last moments of her life.
Among her last utterances were, "All
is welr' and Il am going home"
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them. :"

OVERTURNED Princes.

Young princes and princesses must
find it irksome to be under tutors. as
most of them are, who have never
learned the wisdom uttered in the
nursery line, "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy"
1t is said that Louis H., the present
King of Bavaria, took an utter disgust
in his boyhood to history and pol
itics, through the indiscreet zeal of q
professor who discoursed on these sub.
iects in season and out of season.
He would say, pointing to haystack,
"Can you guess what is the height OF
that?" Thirty feet" perhaps the
boy would answer.
We'll, does the number thirty re.
mind you of anything? Were there moi
thirty knights on both sides at the
Combat des Trente'? Were there not
thirty tyrants at Athens? Was there
not Thirty Years War;" And Sc
on, till poor little Prince Louis lost all
pleasure in the sight of hay stacks.
Napoleon Ills heir was also sorely
teased by u couple of oo-earnest tutors.
One day lie had baen sent out to see d
regatta on the Seine.
L, what have you been doing ~
askc,. his father when he returned
home. ooh, we have been talking OF

The Cincinnati Riots.

The riots which took place at Cincin-
natl on the nights of March %, 30 and
80, are causing much comment by the
press, not only in the United States, but
throughout the entire civilized world.
The cause which led to this great up
rising fthe people of highly cultured
city, is one which should be brought
home to every law-abiding peace-loving
citizen, The result is one which mobs
of every kind should well study.
During the past few years there has
been n spirit of leniency manifested to-
wards those persons who, either in the
heat of passion or for gain, have stained
their hands with the blood of their fell
low beings. The courts, the juries and
the people have, in a great majority of
cases, thrown their sympathies and ex-
erted their influence for the person
charged with the crime. The female
portion of mankind are especially SYM
pathetic towards a murderer, their feel
ings being portrayed by the amount and
quality of bouquets they could present
the crime stained object of their pity.
Then, too, the criminal lawyer has be-
come a power in the land. The more
positive the proof against his client the
harder he eXerts himself to clear his
man, and the more difficult his case, il
successful, the greater is the praise he
receives at the hands of the people. In
the great catalogue of murders that
have been committed during the past
twelve months, very small per cent. OF
convictions for murder has been had.
The statistics show that out Of 1917
murders in the United States last year,
there we've only 80 legal hangings.
True, there are many states in which
capital punishment has been abolished,
but the records show that the penalty
in those States. Imprisonment for life, is
seldom imposed.
One of the prime laws of nature is
self preservation. The people have be-
come appalled, at the ease with which
murderers escape the punishment they
deserve. When the jury at Cincinnati
returned verdict of manslaughter
against Berner; even after he had con-
fessed his guilt, and the testimony adj
duced corroborated his confession, was
more than an indignant people could
bear. A meeting of the law and order
people of the city was called Resolu-
tions denouncing the jury and the law
yer who defended Berner were passed,
and, without leader, great mob
undertook to find the criminal and mete
out to him the punishment he deserved.
This they did to vindicate the law and
to throw protection around the public
from the murderer of the future. They
could not find the object of their ven
geance, and the destruction of property
and the loss of many lives followed their
disappointment.
The loose manner in which justice Is
carried ont was the sole cause of the
riot. Should its results not cause the
dispensers of justice to be more particu-
lar in the future? Who VIII say that
had jury of honest, intelligent men;
one whom the cunning pleas of mas
ter criminal lawyer would not swerve
from the law and evidence, been sitting
on that case, the prisoner would have
been found guilty of murder. and that
he would have been sentenced to the

The arrest of Capt. Dodge, the leader
of the Niobrara regulators. was trifie
dramatic. When Sheriff Hoffman opened
the door of the Dodge domicle the cap
tain was sitting by the fire reading. He
jumped for his revolver, which was w.
ing on table near by, but Mad was too
quick for him, and "got the Drop on
him before he could grab it. Mrs.
Dodge then jumped for the revolver,
but was anticipated by Deputy Frush,
who got there ahead of her. She then
tried totake it away from him, but did not
succeed. Dodge thought the horse
thieves were on lynching tour, and
when he learned they were regular officer
he quietly went with them. The stolen
horse wa. found in his stable.

Republican State Convention.

A convention of the Republican party
of the State of Wisconsin will be held
at Madison, on Wednesday, April 80, at
IL O'Clock, noon, for the purpose of
electing four delegates and four alter

A DELICIOUS way to prepare baked
apples for tea is to cut out the core be-
fore baking. When ready to send to
the table fill the space left in the apple
with sweet cream with little powdered
sugar in it. Ounces are also excellent
prepared in the same way. In these
butter may take the place of cream il
more convenient.

MANY persons thought the amount of
rain which fell in Los Angeles during
the past rainy season considerable. So
1t was; but only comparatively so. The
HERALD is in receipt from Bogota of a
very interesting report of the Honorable
the Secretary of Public Works of tho
United States of Colombia, upon the
progress made in his department during
the year last past. A railroad, located
by an engineer now resident in this city,
is building from Buenaventura, in
latitude four north and the part next to
the southwark of Panama, towards tho
great valley Of the Canea, which is
separated from the Pacific coast by the
western cordillera of the Andes. Dur
ing that year meteorological observations
were taken at Buenavcntura. The
place has sufficiently equable tenn
perature, for the highest Their
mometer during the year was
eighty-two degrees Fahrenheit, tho low
est seventy.four, but the mean OF the
hygrometer was seventy.four degrees
and nine.tenths, while that of the baro-
meter was thirty inches and six hun
dredths. Nevertheless the amount of
rainfall was two hundred and thirty.six
inches and twenty-nine hundredths.
According to the records of meteorology
only one piece in the world, Khassaya,
in the delta of the Ganges, has rain
fall greater than this.

therefore, that republican OF Califor-

The philosophy of some esteemed CO.

Mr.. Blaine is rather like that believed in
by Mr.. Mark Tapley, who was jolly
only when things in general went hard
with him. The city election at Ports.
mouth, New Hampshire; the falling of
in the Republican vote in Vermont; the
letter OF ex-Congressman Pound, of Wis
eonsin; the great meeting OF lrish-Amer-
lean citizens at New York, on which
occasion Mrs. Parnell and distinguished
ex-President OF the league were present
these and many other circumstances
which from day to day are happening at
the east, serve to show the drift of pub
lie opinion and that the drift is not
Blaine-ward. Yet esteemed cotempora-
ries affect to consider that these things
signify nothing. The HERALD opines
that these happenings should cause any
thing but 10y in the breasts of Mr..
Blaine's supporters. 1t is all very we'll
to enact the role of optimist, but our
Republican friends, like the timorous
person who, after the night has fallen
passes by some graveyard, are merely
whistling to keep their courage up. The
elections at Portsmouth and in Vermont
are important because they show that
the change in Republican opinion, which
was SO apparent at the late National
Convention Of the Republican party is
general, and that it increases rather than
decreases in intensity. Blaine, it need
scarcely be said, will carry Vermont and
New Hampshire, but by decreased Re-
publican maiorities, while there are
