MORTUARY.

Again are we remined that from
life unto death there is but one short
step and that one may be taken at any
moment. The present case is that of
a loving mother. kind, thoughtful
wife and an affectionate child. She
died IN the presence Of her family in
Guiding her father mother and sister.
After a severe illness of two weeks
from general dropsy and disease of the
heart with which Mrs. A H. Colcord
had long been afflicted, she was pre-
scented with two children, one boy
and agi. |, the smallest weighing eight
pounds. The dropsy was so extensive
as to require the deceased to assume a
sitting posture for nearly two weeks
prior to her death, much of the time.
1t was with the greatest effort that she
could breathe. After the birth of her
two children, however, she rallied
somewhat and her friends had hope
for Ter again, but this hope was
only too brief for soon she became
suffocated as ever and on the morning
of the fourth day after the latter event
she suddenly expired while sitting in
her chair. She leaves her husband
and two lovely children, one boy 10
years old and one girl 2 IL years.
besides, the twins who are healthy and

Mrs. Agness V. Colcord was aged
30 years 9 months and 10 days at the
time Of her demise. The funeral
services were held at her home in Cen
tralia, Rev A. Smith officiating,
Monday afternoon, large number of
neighbors and friends attending.

| CONNOR.-At Idaho Springs July 3, Miss NJ.
| Conner, of Auburndale, Wis, aged "a years.
With her, religion was not mere
form; it was not attended to from the
prevalence of custom. or as means of
gaining reputation, nor was it, in her
estimation, of secondary import She
regarded it as the one thing needful-
as the first and principal thing-and
she entered into it with all her might,
convinced that there was no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
the grave whittier she was fastening.
Her religion was not a garment worn,
but an influence absorbed, and the
result was that her life was not only
luminous, but uniform. Private de-
votion she did not neglect. The
house of God was the place of her Joy.
The Lords Day she hailed with sacred
delight, and listened to His Word with
prayerful attention.
She felt the power Of that word of
God, and therefore believed in it.
"Your life is even vapor that ap-
peareth for little time, and then
vanisheth away" In the morning we
grow up as the grass, and appear
fourishing, but in the evening, nay,
before the midday of life, we are many
of US cut down and, like it, dried up
and Withered. Convinced Of her frailty
she deeply felt her need of divine aid
to lead her to the Savior. Happy for
her, she "knew whom she had believed,
and was fully persuaded that He was
able to keep that she had committed
to Him against the great day." and
could wholly depend upon Him. She
knew no morality or spirituality in
tended only for a sick bed. Disease
found her precisely what she had been
in health. Had she been restored by
miracle, her habitual state of mind
would have been as appropriate to
activity and health as it was to solitude
and weakness.
Patience and resignation shone con-
spicuously in all her words and in her
whole department, and these wrought
so efectually to her peace and com
fort Of mind that. through a night of
uncommon suffering, her last on earth,
she had such sweet composure as
enabled her to say, "Heavenly Father
take me home. "-Idaho Spring News.
The above Item taken from the
Idaho News was shocking surprise to
Miss Maggie's many friends in this
county who were not informed of her
failing health. Miss Maggie was the
eldest daughter of Mr., Robt. Conner,
of Auburudale, Wis, and had been in
very poor health for some time back.
She died with fervent faith fully
believing in the Father who reigns
over all.

WAsHINToN, July 12.-The Wis.
contingent at the national capital is
pretty strongly reinforced by the ar
rival of Mr.. Nash. who has entered
upon his duties as chief clerk of the
Post Office department. ''He takes
hold of the work like an old hand, "
said one of the employees of the depart
ment to The Sentinel correspondent.
He seems to know just what ought to
be done, and to do it promptly. He
already takes much of the load from
the shoulders of the postmaster-gener-
al. and is likely to be of great
assistance to him. He goes through
the mail, and instead of dumping" it
all on the postmaster-general, as the
experienced chief clerk who preceded
him was in the habit of doing, he
sends it around to the various offices,
properly addressed, and so lightens the
burdens of Col Villas materially. He
is going to be a success.
The above appeared in the Sentinel.
The readers of the REPORTER will be
pleased to learn that MIR. Nash is do
ing so well.

A FRESH-AIR FIND.

During a period of excessive heat such as
that from which the entire country is now
suffering, there is no class in which its mOrtu
airy effects are so severely felt as among the
children, and especially among the children
of the poor. The records of infantile
mortality always rise with the temperature,
and the figures of the health Office already
furnish sad evidences of the vast increase
of diseases which afflict the young during
the hot season. Wealthy persons can find
a preventive of disease by taking their
children to the lakes or on excursions
where the tonic of pure air and the health
full surroundings of nature resist the effects
of the temperature. But these things are
beyond the reach of the poor mans purse.
The progeny of poverty finds his play
ground on the burning pavement and sleeps
at night i'm the fOul-Smelling ovens of a
tenement house. As there seems TO be 10
prospect of let up in the hot spell for
some time to come, is there no person with
a heart full of charity and who is touched
with tenderness for the condition of these
INDECENT children who will at once
go to work to save their lives by rails
ing fund for fresh-air excursions to be
given to them? BY a few persons
combining their efforts and systematizing
their work a great deal of good can be ac-
complished and precious lives can be saved.
st. Paul is better OFF than perhaps any
other city of its size in the country In the
first place the heat here is not so excessive
as in other cities. nor have we so many poor
people in our midst. Most of orr laboring
people are able to give their children an air.

each week. But there are some who are
not and they should be looked after. 1t
would not take large fund 10 provide one
or two excursions each week during the hot
weather to White Bear or some other point
out of the city, where these poor children
could enjoy day chasing through sweet
smelling fields and verdant groves or pad
ding in the refreshing waters of the lake.
This is the season when Death is busiest
among the rose buds of the home. Who
will be first to respond to a call to help save
them?

COST OF DAIRYING.

Some parties travelling through Illinois
and other Western states have imposed
upon farmers who had not taken the trouble
or precaution TO make correct calculation
of the cost, by inducing them to invest
$1,000 or $40, 900 in creameries and cheese
factories, when an establishment costing
one-fourth of the amount would be ample
for the wants of the people. Hon. ii. Il.
GURLER, president of the Illinois Dairy
mems association, has addressed letter to
the Illinois department of agriculture. in
which he says: Having been informed
