Resting Place by Large Humber Of Relatives
and Friends.
The funeral services of A. G. Will

Quoted by Rev. Harvout, pastor. The
regular choir furnished several selec-
tiOns of very appropriate music. The
house was filled with relatives
and friends of the deceased. The pas
tor confined his remarks to two topics.
First, ''What Did Christ Liken Death
Unto?' and second, "What Consola-
tiOn have we at the Grave?" The
lesson was read from st. John, 18th

manned until he came to Kansas in
November, 1857. He then located in
Jackson township, this county, where
he pre-empted $50 acres and farmed
it until 1850, when he removed to this
city and engaged in the boot and shoe
business. In 1862 he enlisted as a
private in company G, 18th Kansas
regiment. He served three years, par
ticipating in all the battles and skirm-
ishes in which his regiment took part.
While in the service he traded his

of growing vegetables for the city mar.

pletion. The plan of the creamery
embraces the manufacture Of cheese
and butter, with cold storage in con-
nectiOn with the ice department. The
creamery is TO have capacity for
handling twenty thousand pounds Of
milk per day with ali the necessary fx-
lures for manufacturing the same in
to butter and cheese, the whole when
completed to cost seventy-five hundred
dollars. The centrifugal process
of separating the cream from

ONE of the great drawbacks to the
hopes of democratic success is the fact
that the people are reading up on poll
teal subjects. A democratic exchange
that evidently has not fully considered
this subject, and which has seemingly
forgotten the fact that where Ignorance
is densest democracy has always
fiourished best, referring to this sub
iect, saws: lions of tariff literature
have been sent out from Washington
and New York 10 all points of the
country since the introduction of the
Mills bill in the house, and still the
demand for documents bearing upon
the tariff is undiminished. Nothing
could be more hopeful than such an
evidence of interest on the part of the
people touching any public question.
1t indicates Enthusiastically an elevation
of the standard of popular intelligence
that should prove a source of the live
Hest qualification to every patriotic
citizen. 1t shows that the great mass
of the voters of this country are learn
ing to think for themselves, and that
the suspicious day is already begin
ming to dawn when the right of suff-
rage shall be exercised with rational
appreciation of the grave RESPONSE
bilities attaching to that privilege"

scribers to pay up six months in ad-

cheap type-setters and hire couple Of
journeyman printers. He claimed that
the other papers of the city were push
ing him to the wall, and that if his
subscribers would only advance him a
little cash just now he would be able to
pull through. Many of our citizens
will remember that this little game was
played by the predecessor of the Demo

duced to subscribe and pay Il year

afterward petered out. Our citizens

called protection than the following,

Ored cotton cloths, and sent $1,000
yards to China alone. Gotten is on the

cause wool is taxed than does the work
er in free cotton. The cotton mills are
working full time, and when wool is
made free the WOODEN mills will do the
same. So long as we use more OF inn
ported wool than we do of domestic
wool, it is clearly for the advantage OF
American industries to place wool on
the free list, in order that we may make
goods we now import, and may also be
able to export to foreign markets which
England now supplies. The analogy
between the case of free cotton and
