Obituary.

Mrs. Cathrire Ault, wife of George
Ault, at Accident, after an illness of
one week, died on Friday morning,
March ". at the age of 81 years, 8
months and day, and Was buried at
the Brown Church on Sabbath at
o'clock.
Mother Aplt was a pious and very
excellent woman, worthy the regard
and confidence of all who knew her,
and fifty prepared either to live or to
die. BY her family and neighbors
she was much beloved, and to us all
her death is a loss. Her husband in
his old age is left companjonless and
sad. Her three daughters (all in or
near the old home,) and two sons,
one living at Scottdale Pa, and the
other at Cedar Rapids Ia, and now
by sad experience, able to answer
the pathetic question, "what is home
without mother?" But they sor-
row not as those without hope-their
loss is their mothers eternal gain.
Sometime to die is set for all how
well it were. if all could say, "At
Thine own time, in Thine own way,
Lord. l await Thy call"
Through singular series of mis-
calculations and mischances, both the
sons, of the departed, and also the
pastor failed to reach home in time
for the burial. In the case of the
pastor, the effort to provide shelter
for one ofhis families, robbed of house
and home by the flames, came in the
way of receiving the message sent
him; the one son was four hours late
through railroad detention, and the
other five hours late through lack O 1
prompt letter delivery. These dis
appointments added to the grief of
the occasion; but served at the same
time to emphasize the truth that both
our earthly possessions, and all our
plans, are insecure and prone to mis-
carry.
To the living "Grace and Mercy"
to the departed peace"

High license has been a success in
Illinois. The report to the legisla-
ture of the minority of the committee
on license furnishes vast array of
facts in support of the license policy
which has been adopted in that State
with reference to the liquor traffic.
In Chicago alone the revenue from
the law is 81 100000, and the city has
reduced the number of saloons from
$500 to $500, or 600 less, although
the population has grown rapidly,
and has added to the police force 800
men. In Hyde Park, suburb of
Chicago, two years ago 2l4 saloons
paid $1,000. Since this law has been
in operation the saloons have been
reduced nearly One-half, while
the population has largely
increased and the revenue from
I27 saloons is ST. 900, nearly tenfold
more. The number of arrests for the
two years prior to the passage OF this
law was 1895, as against 67S arrests
since. In the State at large the rev.
enue from the law has been increas-
ed from 100000 to over $4,000, 900,
and the burden of taxation On other
articles has been correspondingIy les
sened, thereby enhancing the wealth,
peace and happiness of the people of
the State; reducing the number of
saloons from 1900 to less than 5000,
enabling cities like Springfield, Chi
cago, Peoria, Quincy. Bloomington,
Jacksonville and many others to
pave and beautify, police, and i'm
prove in all respects their order and
sanitary conditions.

Twenty.three years ago to-day our

to his establishment, wolf lying In
the road writing in agony from the
effects of dose of poison somewhere
picked up in his travels. Gus,
without hesitation, and with the
agility of a Sioux warrior, sprang
from his sled, drew his revolver and
fired two shots. The shots not hav-
ing the desired effect, he returned to
his sled and drew standard from it
and with it dealt the finishing blow.
He then threw his prize on his sled
and proceeded on his journey. When
he arrived at his brothers. the wolf
was stripped of his jacket.
The day following our hero took
head and hide and proceeeed to
Grantsville and there raised quite an
excitement. He took it before JUS
tice Winterberg and took the requIr-
ed oath. Gus was looked upon as
the Nimrod ofthe nineteenth century.
But no one can tell what day may
bring forth. On Tuesday following
the unfortunate wheel made turn
while our young Nimrod was on top,
just ready to ascribe his name to be
handed down to poSterity. On the
above named day David D. Broad
water went to GAINESVILLE, and to
satisfy curiosity stopped at j. S.
BrOadwater'S to see the wolf hide.
To his amazement he at once recCg-
nized it TO be the skin of his dog,
which had been missing since the
killing Of the wolf. David at once
went before the Magistrate and en-
tered suit against Gus for S15 for kill
ing his dog. David had six of his
neighbOrs summoned to testify in the
case to be heard on the Sth inst. So
the matter is left to the Magistrate to
decide.

The Mayor of the city Of Philadel-
phia has issued an order to the police
to watch the roller skating Kinks
closely. The order says that the
habits formed by very many of the
participants at these places, and the
license enjoyed thereat by the youth
of the city, without that reserve and
care which are necessary at such
places, are calculated to necessitate
the strongest action possible in their
control and surveillance, and con-
cludes by saying that every parent
in the community should aid the po-
lice department in an endeavor to
rectify an abuse which threatens their
own happiness and the welfare of
their children.

A Shameful Episode.

Ipe friends of Gen. Grant-under
Whleh name all the loyal people of
the United States are included-re-
Joiced to hear, not long ago, that
Congress had at last passed the bill
putting him on the retired list of the
army. The vote was unanimous in
the Senate. but there were IS "noes''
IN the House, and its passage there
was secured only by a compromise.
which revealed a contemplate mean
ness on the Democratic side.
one of the last things which the
Democrats in the House attempted
to do was to unseat Mr.. Wilson, Re-
publican, elected from the Fifth Iowa
district, and put Mr.. Fredericks,
Democrat, in his place. There was
no doubt of Wilson's election in 1882.
No attempt has been seriously made
to question his right to his seat. He
had occupied it every day of the ses-
sion. He was in it on the evening of
March 4th. But if, at the last mo-
ment, he could be unseated and
| Fredericks given his place, the lat
ter would draw the $4,000 salary due
the position, Just as if he had really
Isin.E12sented his district. So the
| Democrats determined to adopt this
simple, though characteristically dis.
honest, means of giving Mr.. Freder-
ickS that snug little sum to reimburse
him for the expenses of his defeat.
The Republicans caused it to be
known that they would prevent this
steal, byrefusing TO vote and by fill
clustering, if necessary, to the hour
of adjournment.
During this dispute the Grant re-
tirement pill came up. Instantly a
Mort Carolina Democrat, named
Bennett, opposed it by calling up the
Iowa election case, as he had the
right, under the rules, to do. Not
only did he call the case up, but he
refused toalloW it to be postponed or
tabled even for one minute. Final
ly, the Democratic side agreed, if the
Republicans would allow them to
seat Fredericks for the remainder of
the session-it then lacked nearly an
hour of y NJ. March 4th-that they
would make no further objection to
the Grant bill. Mr.. Wilson at once
sprang to his feet and declared his will
lingneSs to be sacrificed if Justice
could thereby be done Gen. Grant.
The other Republicans consented.
Fredericks was seated, and will draw
$4,000 for an hours service, during
which time he cast just one vote.
Then all but seyenty-eight of the
Democrats joined in passing the
Grant retirement bill.
Under the circumstances the Re-
publicans can hardly be. blamed for
yielding. But what can be said of
the Democrats who demanded a SIC, =
600 steal as the price at which they
would withdraw opposition to the
bill.-Noraoich ( Conn., Courier.

PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day 5s(G545c.,
that generally rated first quality 800
cts; medium or good fair quality
33(95 cts ordinary thin steers. oxen
and cows 3(633 cts; extreme range
ofprices 1864 5 cts most of the sales
were from 44(953.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrivals of Cattle during the
week amounted to SCI head, against
l ,297 last week and 800 head the cor
responding week of last year, and the
sales were 647 head, against 912 last
week, and S33 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
With a much lighter offering, as to
numbers. than lsat week. the expec-
tatiOn was general that an advance
could be had and maintained; but
though this may have been partially
realized in few instances at the
opening, the general report is that
trade was dull, and prices showed no
| material advance ON last weeks fg-
ures. The quality averaged about
equal to last weeks offerings, tops
being scarcely as good, but there be-
ing proportionately larger line of
middle cattle. Prices 3(05 4-5c., few
selling at either extreme; most sales
ranging from 44(@5lc,
THE SWINE MARKET.
The supply is rather limited this
week, but the number is about equal
to very moderate demand. The
quality averages fully as good as it
was last week. Prices are fraction
easier. Sales were made at 63(062c.,
with few extra shade higher, with
most sales from 81 to s.. Same time
last year hogs sold at 73084c. net.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
There is fair increase in the num-
Der of the receipts over last week but
the excess seems to be mostly of clip
ped sheep, for which we hear of no
! sales, and, consequently, are without
quotations. We quote (wool) sheep
at 3(05 3c. for common to extra; spring
lambs at 100l23c., and fall lambs 4(6
81 per 10, gross. Same time last year
clipped sheep sold at 4(952c.; wool
sheep 496l and lambs at 10@12c.,
gross.
