DEATHS.

CAMPBELL-Joseph S. Campbell was
born at Eaton, o., January LIST, 1874, and at his
death was Al years and Z months of age.
At the age of Is years he enlisted in the
Union Army in the late war, and at an early
time after his enlistment he was detailed for
duty at regimental headquarters. He did his
duty bravely as a private in the trenche at
Atlanta, and went through the privations of
the soldiers who marched with Sherman from
Atlanta to the Sea. After the war he made
his home in Chicago, where he was appointed
to many positions of trust and honor, with
Railroads and various Societies, with which
he was connected, and left a purely honorable
record, acquiring also, as a railroad official,
a high reputation as a man of strict integrity
and great ability.
He was married to Miss Kittie Hooper at
Danville, ILL.,, in 1874. She and two young
daughters survive him and will severely feel
the loss of a father and a husbands care.
For the last five years he resided in Eaton,
except the last two winters which he spent in
the South in hopes of regaining his health.
Two months ago he came home knowing his
fate, which he met calmly and resolutely as
brave men do. No man could have had better
or more faithful care and affectionate atten-
ton than he had from his devoted wife. In
1876, in Danville, ILL.,, he was made a member
of Athelstan COmmandry, to which order he
was greatly attached, and upon his removal tt
Ohio, he was admitted to the Reed ~Commandry
OF Dayton. lie was also a respected member
of the Knights of Honor and Grand Army o
the Republic in this place, and was buried
by Reed COmmandry, of Dayton. His death
falls heavily on his invalid parents and two
sisters, who are all that remain ola once large
family. TIL father bearing his grief alone
many hundreds of miles from home, where HI
has gone in hopes of strength and health, un'
able to come and pay the last sad tribute O.
love to his only son.
Though not a professed Christian he wa:
truthful and in all his dealings honest, just
and generous.
MUSSELMAN--At North Manchester, Ind.
July 3lst, 1885, Christian Earl, only child O
D. J. and Kate E. Musselman, aged 2 years,
month and Is days.
1t was while on a visit of the mother to he
sister, Mrs. Lockwood, at North Manchester
that the child took sick and suddenly died.
No religion or philosophy can supply the vol,
in a parents heart occasioned by the death O
an only child. To say at is all for the best
that the painful pangs of disease should blancl
the blooming cheek, darken the bright eye
thicken and silence the voice of prattling in
nocence, heap sorrow and suffering upon
stainless soul, and unpityingly and unnatural
ly cut off an unoffending life, so full of bah
innocence and budding promise, is as heart
less as it is hackneyed. 1t is all for the worst
but then there is no alternative only to DO,

Icheerfully state that in my opinion Swift's
Specific is a most excellent tonic. In the
month of September, 1888, my health failed
by reason of eyerwork while attending the
state legislature. was at length induced to
try Swift's Specific and was greatly benefited.
When l began using it I could scarcely take
a step, but after l had finished the seventh
bottle / realized that Swift's Specific had con-
tributed in a large degree to my gradual re-
storation to health and strength. have also

results, giving it to one of my children this

Kind and Generous Deed.

Rev. A. Barber, superanuate member of st.
Louis Conf. NJ. E. Church, writes from Moran,
Kansas: "This recommendation is written
without solicitation from anyone; but l owe it
to those similarly afflicted to say that by the
use of the Shaker Extract of Roots (Siegel's
Syrup 1 was cured of an obstinate and al
most fatal indigestion-both stomach and liv-
er being completely torpid. l was reduced to
a living skeleton. Friends, family and ply
stefan had given me up. l was keeping the
spark of life alive with a diet of raw eggs and
milk. Now both stomach and liver are per-
forming their functions. Ihave many friends
in Western Ohio, n. E. Iowa and S. w. Mo.
who would like to Know this" m
THE HONEST SHAKER, although he does not
boast of his purity, always makes goods that
can be relied upon; for instance, his Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup is really a
valuable article. 1t is not recommended as a
cure-all, but as a remedy for one single dis
ease, viz: Indigestion, in which disease it
works like a charm. aug6-lm

Many Dollars

Have been saved to a great
many families, who ahve tax
en- advantage of the closing
out sale at the MAMMOTH
CHEAP STORE, of EAT
ON. It has been a pleasant
experience to everyone to
find good choice r
GOODS and NOTIONS so
very cheap, the consequence
of which was a tremendous
rush and %crowding Of Gus
toners. Yet we have plenty
of good seasonable goods left
which we would rather dis
pose of at a sacrifice, than be
compelled to ship them away.

Criminal Court.

On Monday a jury was empaneled for the
trial of John Murphy for burglary and larce-
ny. The Prosecuting Attorney with the con-
sent cfth Court, entered nolle prosequi as
to the charge of burglary, and the defendant
was put upon trial for grand larceny. The
evidence was substantially the same as in the
former cases, and the jury, on Tuesday after
noon returned a verdict of guilty. This closed
the criminal trials for this term.
The Court then proceeded to sentence the
prisoners who have been convicted, and di-
rected the Sheriff to bring Laura Eddins into
Court. There seemed to be some secret sig
nal by which this fact was made known to the
public, as before the Sheriff arrived with his
curious. When asked by the Court whether
she had anything to say before sentence
should be passed upon her, Laura spoke for
two or three minutes, but could not be under
stood by reason of her broken sobs. She
claimed to be innocent, and spoke feelingly of
her children. SHE had no fault to find with
anyone-witness, attorney or prosecutor-all
had been as kind to her as possible.
Judge Hume then proceeded to speak of the
enormity of the crime with which she had
been charged, and said that she was exceed
ingly fortunate in escaping conviction for a
higher grade of crime. The Judge could see
no palliating circumstances in this case, and
after reviewing the evidence to some extent,
sentenced Laura Eddins to be confined in the
Penitentiary of the State of Ohio for a period
of twenty years at hard labor. This is the
full extent of the law. The defendant stood
the sentence as bravely as a woman could be
expected to do, but she gave more evidence of
having some heart than at any time since her
arrest.
In the Harper and Murphy cases the Court
overruled the motion for new trials and mo-
tions ir arrest of judgment, and proceeded to
pass sentence.
John Harper, for horse stealing, 4 years.
/" larceny, 2 years.
John Murphy, for horse stealing, 4 years.
In the larceny case against Murphy, in
which the jury just rendered a verdict, SEN
tence has not yet been passed.

If coming days be dark with with grief's deep

Till life's last vesper hour shall come at even;
Till one shall leave this earth for heavenly
And naught abiding is in earth Life ever,
Save love of faithful hearts, a treasure rare,
The love that's kin to that of heaven's angels,
A jewel bright that they of heaven wear.
And richer far than kingly crowns OF beauty
Is loves bright crown by human hands OIL
For royal diadems shall fade, though glitter

But these shall cen be worn by us in heaven;

Something for the Baby.

What a terrible affection about the house is
a cross, crying baby! A young man on the
very edge ofmatrimony might easily be fright
ened from his purpose by having too much of
that sort of music at the homes of his married
friends. Yet babies cry commonly only when
they are sick. One teaspoonful of Parker's
Tonic, given the little one, will bring rest and
sleep to the baby and all in the house. Only
so cents, at druggists. [aub6-1m
