The Bedside of the Dying Soldier Statesman
The Grief of the Family.
To the Western Associated Press.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26-John A. Logan died
at three minutes before o'clock this afternoon
His death, which came with startling sudden
ness to his family and friends, had not been un-
expected by his physicians for some days. The
lurking tendency to brain complication which
had been present, in greater or less degree, and
constantly increasing in severity during his en-
tire illness, had prepared them to expect the
worst The racking pains which he suffered dur
ing the early days of his illness yielded to treat
ment, hut left him in a weak and exhausted
condition. from which he never rallied, and upon
which the fever preyed with increasing violence
until the hour of death. After last midnighthis
pulse grew weaker and weaker, and at o'clock
this morning his condition was such as to cause
great fear of his immediate death. After this he
rallied somewhat and at the consultation,
which was held at 3 o'clock this morning, his
pulse was found to be somewhat stronger, but
his general condition was MT such as to give any
hone of ultimate recovery. Dr. Baxter relieved
DIR. Hamilton at the conclusion of the consulta-
tion, and continued In constant attendance until
the Generals death.
The physicians again met in consultation at

Mrs. Logan Completely Frustrated.

Special to tho INDIANAPOLIS journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-At late hour to-
night no arrangements had been perfected in re-
gard to the funeral and nterment The delay
is owing to the distressed condition Of Mrs. Lo-
gan. Although tie death was not unexpected to
her, it proved great shock when finally it came
She was completely prostrated. Mrs. Logan had
for three weeks been at work in the
manaeement Of the Garfield memorial
fair, of which she had been the leading spirit,
and went to the bedside of her husband when his
illness began to assume serious FORM She was,
at that time, almost worn out, and as he sank
she became grieyed and alarmed. until, at the
moment of his death, she completely collapsed
A kind of hysteria seized her and for
hours her condition caused her family
great concern. The Senator was her idol, and
his death for the time seemed to take
from her every spark Of vitality she possessed.
So serious has been her condition this evening
that consultation respecting burial arrange
ments is out of the question. 1t was tho belief
of the immediate friends of the family that the
Senator would be inferred in the family burial
ground at Carbondale, ILL.,, but it is very prob
able that the nterment will take place in this
city, which is to be tho home of Mrs. Logan.

For Corn there is no crop upon
which the use of a good commercial

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win. that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one paws
for printers ink. the greater is his gain.

The record of 1885 is completed
the untried 1886 is just opening up
before us-a most propriate time
for taking an inventory of stock on
hand. We have all learned some
thing in the twelve months that are
gone, the most careless Life's du-
ties we can not shirk, and how much
better it is to look about and pre-
pare for them, see what and where
our mistakes have been, and try to
correct them. A dollar in the hands
of good housekeeper, goes as far as
two dollars in the hands of one who
does not look around to see where
you can do the best with the least
money. A well prepared breakfast
is the best send off the father or
brother can have for the day, and
then when all are again together for
dinner if things have gone little
wrong at the store or out in town, a
tempting meal soon rights things and
makes US see things in a different
light perhaps, while so much de-
