OBITUARY ".
Theodore Dinges.

Phillip William Theodore Dinges
died at his late residence on South Syc-
amore street, in this city, on the 10th
day of August, 1856, at 4:30 p. M, of a
complication of hip disease, Theuma-
tism, and lung trouble, after AN Illness
of about nine months. During this
entire time he suffered intense pain,
and when death finally came he was
a welcome messenger, although he low
ed dearly to live for his wife and only
child's sake.
Mr.. Dinges was born in Wiesbaden,
Germany, on the 10Th day of Februa-
ry, 1S4S, and was married to Miss Eliz-
abeth Scherf, in said place, on the 4th
day of August, 1871. He came to this
country about the year 1878, and has
continued to reside here since. April
T." 1879, he became a citizen of the
United States, receiving his naturali-
zation papers from the Probate Court
of Portage county, and he has depOrt-
ed himself worthy of the great priv
ilege conferred upon him. In 1868.
while yet in the old country, he was
enrolled in the Prussian army, and
served until May 81, 1871, when he
was honOrably discharged. During
his service in the army he became act
lively engaged in the Franco Prussian
war, as an artillerist. He had the tes-
timonials of his commander for faith
ful service performed. His badge of
red, black and white was to him a
proud memento of his soldier life in
the struggle for Fatherland. Among
all the engagements of that awful war,
there were few in which he was not
found fighting.
Mr.. Dinges was kind husband and
father, an honest man, and good cit
izen. He had many friends, especially
among the Germans, and was highly
respected by them. He leaves wife
and one child to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence Thursday afternoon
last, conducted by Rev. Lucas. A
quartet - Mrs. Morgan, Miss Lena
Gretzinger, Messrs. Seymour and Jew
ell, admirably rendered appropriate
selections of music. The employees of
Merits & Riddle, attended the funeral
in a body, thus manifesting their re-
gard for their late shopmate.

AN ADDRESS

To the People of Portage County:
The officers of our County Agricul.
tural Society are making all necessary
preparations for the coming fair, and
We still wish to impress upon your
minds that this is your county fair. 1t
is composer of no township, no village
and no ring. The people in the most
remote sections of the county should
feel that they have an interest in the
county agricultural society. We have
director in each township who is
willing to answer any questions you
may ask and give you any informa-
ton you may seek concerning the fair.
1t is known by all that our fair is
growing, and takes no second place in
the list of county fairs in the state.
We are building up by actual exhibits,
not by hot-air fizzles" nor snide side
shows. If is therefore absolutely neees-
sary that each one of us make so me
exhibit and display worthy of our
selves and the county in which we
live. Support your township fairs as
much as you choose. but don't forget
that you also have an interest i'm your
county fair. X. s. WING, Sec'y.

the personal relations of the present

the most cordial. Lately, when NOV

Quite an excitement was created on

THE DRIFT I'm ENGLAND.

The difficulties of both camps in
the English contest are numerous
and, to the campaign managers, dis
piriting. The trouble with the home
rulers is mainly lack of money. In
some of the districts it will be diff
cult to get Gladstonian candidates to
stand because the men of wealth are
upon the other side in this fight.
While the halls where the premier
speaks are packed with shouting and
enthusiastic crowds, 1t is an unusual
thing to see upon the platforms
man prominent in social, political or
professional life. This means that
the great forces of society are to tell
against home rule at the elections.
The chance of victory rests with that
public opinion which rises from the
humber classes of English folk. The
opposition upon the other hand are
not handicapped for sinews of war.
The little gathering of Chamberlin-
ties at Birmingham the other day,
did not break up until they had SUBJ
scribed 500, 900 for the cause. The
whole liberal party outside of the
Irish funds raised in this country can
not gather such sum to do battle
with. The other groups of the OPP
position raise equally large subscrip-
tons. At the same time the anti
home rule manifestoes betray too
much irritation and lack of dignity
to justify the conclusion that things
are serene with them. Many we'll.
known conservatives are weary OF
Salisbury's coercion talk. Sir Rob.
ert Peel and Lord Ashburnham have
deserted the party altogether anG
will contest seats as Gladstonian can.
didates. Thus the Parnell-Canarvor
incident, the Churchill manifesto anC
the refusal of many tories to supper
the candidates of the seeding liber-
ais all tend to darken the horizon
of GladstOne'S enemies.

The Montpelier Watctman, and the
st. Adams Messenger still continue
to keep up racket against Senator
Edmunds. If it were not for these
organs and few republicans here
and there, whose enmities run away
with their judgments, nothing would
be heard of the -Edmunds senti-
ment. We have spent considerable
time and inquiry in looking after this
thing and cannot find it. 1t was not
a thing which showed its head at the
state convention it does not appear in
county conventions; and. really, we
don know where it is. We predict
that there will not be enough in Mont
pelier this fall to harden down into
anything visible. The influence of
the Waterman and MESSENGER would
be much greater, if it was not felt
that there was something besides
pure Vermont state pride that had
to do with the opinion of these Or
gans.

The Morrison tariff bill was de-
feated on a motion to take it up for
consideration, by a vote of 1871 to
40. All the republicans but five
voted in the negative, and of the
democrats 1873 were for it and 80
against it. The senate has passed
the Northern Pacific railroad forfeit
ure bill. The oleomargarine hearing
before the senate committee on ag-
riculture has been closed. The SEN
ate has passed the invalid pension
bill and the house the legislative ap-
preparation bill. The bill to repeal
the civil service law is indefinitely
postponed. The senate passed the
Frye bill to encourage the merchant
marine, the Logan bill to increase
the efficiency of the army and the In
gals resolution for a constitutional
amendment substituting the 30th of
April for the 4th of March as the
commencement of the presidential
and congressional terms.
