Antifernentine

Is simple, harmless preparation, free from
taste, smell or color, that has the property
of preventing fermentation in all vegeabl,
and animal food. 1t is especially useful fol-
preserving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste of the
fruit. Its use does away with labor, and
makes what has been hot, disagreeablt
task delight and pleasure. 1t substitutes
for the summer heat of the kitchen, the cool
shade of the lawn or piazza. Its results are
never doubtful when used according to di.
rections, and strawberry short cake and
peach and berry pies can be had in winter
us well as in summer. Its use is profitable
and economical, for it saves one-half of the
sugar, saves the jars broken by heat, saves
the fruit cooked away, and saves the time
and labor lost by the old methods. One
package will put up 80 quarts of fruit. For
sale only at BURKE Bros

The RClliCk ment.

Since Mr.. +. Kuyl became citizen Of Otta.
wa, some twelve or thirteen years ago, it has
been recognized by those best qualified to
Judge that he stands at the head of his pro.
fcsson. This is not to be wondered at when
it IS remembered that he is a graduate of one
Of the best art schools of the world. 1t was
therefore in accord with business tact and
sound judgment that he should be awarded
the contract for the monument which is to
mark the resting place of our hono'ed and
gratefully remembered citizen, Vim. Reddick
This monument, the largest in our cemetery,
will be composed entirely of granite, and in
its proportions will be mt once massive and
graceful To insure perfect accuracy of dc.
tail and fidelity TO design, which is entirely
his own, Mr.. Kuyl models in clay the orna.
mental parts, notably the draped urn, and in.
yertcd torches, these to be copied even to
smallest detail by skilled cutters of granite.
1t is indeed matter Of cougratulation that TO
our fellow townsman should have been given
the task TO suitably mark the grave Of the
distinguished citizen who loved Ottawa so
well as to leave her, for her best and greatest
good, the bulk OF his large fortune.

witnessed with deep emotion his prQ
loDged and patient struggle with pai2
full disease and has watched by his couch
OF suffering with fearful sympathy. The
| destined end has come at last, and his
| spirit has returned to the Creator who
sent it forth. The great heart OF the
nation that has followed him with love
and pride does now in sorrow mourn
him, tenderly mindful OF his virtues, klu
| great patriotic services and Of the leaH
occasioned by his death.
In testimony OF respect to the memory
of General Grant it is ordered that the
Executive Mansion and the several
departments in Washington be draped in
mourning for period of thirty days, and
that all public business shall on the day
of the funeral be suspended, and the
Secretaries OF War and Navy will cause
orders to issued for appropriate mill
tary and naval honcrs to be rendered on
that day.
In witness thereof l have hereunto set
