another day dawned she would have
fallen asleep forever. Yet such was the
ease, she dying early Saturday morning.
after AN illness of little more than II
week, with gastric fever.
Scarcely are We called upon TO record
a death that arouses so much of genuine
sorrow and sympathy IA the death ol
jessie Bixby Brown. But five weeks
and two days before her death she stood
at the hymcneaI alter in all the hope
and fervancy incident to such an Occa-
sion, confident that long life and happi-
ness awaited her and the husband who
is now bowed down i'm his sorrow. But
alas for human hope! higher power
had OWNED otherwise, and she quietly
resigned her happy state for one of i'm
mortality. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had just
settled here and the young bride had
won the love and affection of her newl,
made relatives by her devotion and
womanly traits, all of whom are deepl,
afflicted IN consequence of her sad de
mise. Her own immediate relatives
were summoned u her bedside, hencl
all that could possibly be done was &c
complished to make her last hours com

years of age at death and had been

AN ELEGANT PREsENNT AND AN
APPRECIATIVE RECIPIENT.

Hon. JOS. Book walter, ex-cOllector of
customs at Pcmbina, received by ex-
press on Monday an elegant gold watch,
valncd AT $50, the gift of his snbordin-
ates IN office. Upon the front case of
the watch is superbly engraved mono

back case, handsomely cut i'm script is the
following inscription Presented to
Hon. Jos. Bookwalter, by his spbOrdin-
atcs. on his retirement az collector OF
customs, Aug. 3lst, 1885," followed by
the names of the eleven donors.
The watch il one of the handsOmest
we have seen, and the works being OF
the Elgin National Watch Co.'S make, is
Of course perfect as timc-piece. This
mark of appreciation on the part of Mr..
Il. = associates shows him to have the
best friends among those most intimate
" acquainted with him, and if any proof
was needed 10 show his removal to have
been piece Of purely political work
and spiteful work at that, this is suffic.

Mr.. BOokwalter prizes his elegant gift
very highly, as well he may, and he al

bv Prof. J. II. McCleary and Miss S. f.
Sprague. Most of the work was prim-
airy, and the writer thinks more time
should have been given TO advanced
studies, MANY of our schools for the
winter term require advanced instruc-
tons. Better instruction in advanced
reading and elocution is much needed
i'm our common schools. On Tuesday
State Supe, intendent Keihle delivered
an excellent lecture on Education and
Industry, which was listened to with
wrapt attention. The Superintendent
made many good points. Thursday even
ing with Holmes, was literary treat
and was much enjoyed by all. Prof.
McCleary gave an interesting talk on the
life Of Holmes, which was followed by
reading selections from his writings.
Many good things were said, and the
children who attend our schools. though
indirectly, will reap great benefits from
such institutes.

DEATH OF COL CLARK W. THOMP.
SON

Southern Minnesota last Sunday even
ing ut II 80 o'clock lost, in the the death
of this well-known man, friend and
helper, who, perhaps, has been more
closely connected with her every inter-
est since territorial days, than any other.
His decrease was sudden, being fore
told hut two or three days, having suf-
fered paralytic stroke about that length
of time before death occurred.
Mr.. Thompson was over sixty years
old, he having reached his three scores
on the BIRD of last July. He was n
Canadian by birth, but in boyhood came
to this country, his parents settling in
Illinois in the early history ofthat State.
When grown To manhood he joined q
party bound for California, whence he
went and remained three wears, ac-
cumulating small fortune in the gold
mines Of that Eldorado. In 1852 he re-
turned to the States and the same year
east his fortune with the young North
Star State, then territory. His make
up was such rs placed him in the front
rank, the people having confidence in
his ability to direct public measures and
matters. These trusts he brought to
successful examinations in every case,
fact which the development of this por-
ton of the state can attest. In 1854 he
was elected to the territorial legislature
and three yea RS later served rs MEM
Der of the constitutional commission. In
1861 he was appointed to an Indian
by President Lincoln,
and served in that capacity number of
years, or until 1865, when he was, in |
consideration of his faithful service, APP

which road he has been the main stay
ever since. lie has served as president
Of the company and were it not for his
pluck and influence that road would not
enjoy the popularity it does to-day. In
1871 he served in the State Legislature
and from then on has been citizen Of
Wells, which town he founded, and he
held large landed interests there ut the
time of his death. He was brilliant
and loved society. lie

SIDEWALKS.

The Mankato Pipe Co. are now taking
orders for cement stone sidewalks for
delivery next spring. The blocks of
which the walk is composed are hex.
agonal in shape, and can be made ofany
color desired. They are as durable as
stone and much cheaper, and are large
~ i'm use i'm st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be 81 10 per
square ward laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by reason of
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be suffi-
ciently hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be at least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk i'm the world should
send in their orders now.
