Is it not sweet to think, hereafter,
When the spirit leaves this sphere,
Love, with deathless wing, shall wait her
To those she long hath mourned for here;
Hearts from which twas death to sever,
Eyes, this world can ne'er restore,
There as warm, as bright as ever,
Shall meet US and be lost no more;
When YEARLY we wander asking
Of earth and heaven where are they,
Beneath whose smile we once lay basking;
Blest, and thinking bliss would stay;
Hope still lifts her radiant finger
Pointing to the eternal home,
Upon whose portal yet they finger,
Looking back for us to come.

FUNERAL OF MRS. WELLS.
Touching and Impressive Cere-
monies Over One Well Loved.

The farewell rites over the remains of
the late Mrs. II. M. Wells we're cele-
brated yesterday afternoon at the resi-
dence on Canyon Road, in the presence
of an immense number of sy mpathyzing
relatives and friends. ALI the rooms of
the cottage were crowded and many
stood on the lawn to listen to the i'm
pressive funeral exercises. Beautiful as
her life had been. were the services
which marked its CID e. The mourning
room where the body lay was veritable
bower of flowers made up of offer
ings presented by the hosts of frienis
of the stricken husband, in the many
circles in which he is so well known
official, social and dramatic. Bishop
Whitney, who made the principal adj
dress, one replete with tenderness, solic-
itude and poetic thought-stood in
the bay window which being thrown
open, his words were distinctly heard by
everyone assembled without, as well as
within the building. Apostle Grant
conducted the services and also added
a few earnest remarks. The prayers
were uttered by Counselor Patrick and

touching feature OF the occasion was
the music, which consisted first of Care

Edith Clawson Knowlton, Mrs. Vilate
Young and Messrs. Piper and Spencer,
with Mr.. Burton at the organ; next was
sung the hymn.an them, Come to Me"

Mr.. Pyper. The closing piece was
male quartette, when the

Before the rendition of it, Bishop
Whitney read the words of the song,
and their touching appropriateness to
the sad occasion and the exquisite style
in which the music was sung. were
such as to move nearly everyone
who listened. At the cemetery, the
hymn Rest was sung by the mixed

Horrible Confession.

LACROSSE, June Those in attendance at
the Kennett murder trial today were reward
ed by hearing What purported to be Kenneth
full confession TO a fellow prisoner. The
name Of the party 10 whom the confession Is
said to have been made is George Daniels,
and if be does not tell the truth he is the
most inventive romancer people here ever
heard Of. His story is that kennett sought
him out and told him how be not only killed
Annie Daniel with morphine and ether, but
tried once before 10 do it with laudanum in
coffee, resulting: In making her very sick. 1t
WAS first proven that Kenneth bought eight
ounces of ether and morphine in equal parts.
This, as the alleged confession goes, he had
concealed In the house, and on Sunday night,
after a gentlemen visitor had departed, she
called kcnnett into her room, saying She was
nervous and could not sleep. He produced the
tottic q ether and morphine and poured
some on her handkerchief. She inhaled it
and became sleepy. Then be gave her a fresh
dose, which made her wild. lie held her
down in bed until she became composed,
then threw the whole Of the mixture on her
handkerchief AM held IL to her n%o,trils.
Soon she began TO s;raugie. lie tried her
pulse and noted when it stopped beating, but
her heart throbbcd violently for a minute or
two longer. When she was dead hc got INTO
bed with his clothes on and slept until morn
ing. That dav he searched for money, but
found none. Monday night he again slept
with the corpse, keeping the hand
kerchicf saturated with the anasthetics
near her nose, so that If suddenly
surprised by such visitors Is frequent sport
ing fancy houses 1t might appear that She
died Of an overdose administered 10y herself.
Tuesday he again searched for money and
again that night slept in the house. Wedncs-
day he found the money, and at once got can
dies fixed into torches for burning the house
and left by the midnight train. At Peters
burg, Illinois, he told the story to DR.. Ship,
a woman physician. She helped him hide
part Of the money in his shoe, and the next
day after his arrest she called on him in the
jail, when he gave her 800. This story has
created a great stir in town. Some believe 1t
and some think 1t = monstrous lie. But there
are so many known facts interviewer there
with that 1t is unlikely, If not impossible,
that Daniels should have known them in any
wey except by Kennett'S confession. 1t is a
consistent story from first 70 last and would
explain some things so far not understood.

DIS MONIES, Iowa, June 1.-The jury in
the case Of K. T. Wilson & Co. vs.. b. l.. Hard
ing, the American Mortgage Investment com
paAy and others, rendered verdict this morn
ing a. $50, giving the plaintiff 81 damages
ON his claim Of about $3.50, 900. The case went
to the jury on Tuesday about 4 p. m. A
large majority Of the jurors were strongly for
a verdict for the defense, but two or three
refused to be governed by the evidence, and
On Wednesday Judge Love urged them to
agree, as he government had already been at
large expense. One OF the parties could Ill
afford an .ther trial, and If the Jury did not
agree no other ever would. 1t was under this
urgent pressure from the court that q con-
promise was reached. The charge in the pc
titlon was that the defendants had made false
and fraudulent statements 10 ~plsiutiff con
corning the condition and earnings of the
Des Moines, Osceola and Southern road,
whereby they induced Wilson to purchase
Sl00,0 900 worth of the bonds Of the CON panv,
and that the bonds were really worthless.
Suit was brought to recover principal and In

Crazy.

CLEVELAND, O., June Prank Tanner,
an exemplary young man OF this city, until
recently a trusted clerk of the Bee Line road.
Two weeks ago Tanner became interested in
the Christian science cure and almsst nightly
attended lectures on the subject. The young
man boards nj the home Of Miss Minnie Pat
tcrson, to whom he was shortly 10 have been
married. About a week ago it was noticed
that Tanner began to act strangely. He
would spend the entire night reading the
Bible, at times singing and dancing. He re-
signed his position, and said he would spend
all his time In the interest OF the Lord. His
condition became rapidly worse, and he
talked Of killing his sweetheart and entire
family as an Offering to the Lord. THIS morn
ing Mrs. Patterson had the afflicted young
man placed under arrest. When placed in a
cell Tanner became ~violeEt and knocked his
hesd against the stone wall. Seeing a Bible
in the cell the crazy man grasped it, and,
pouring over its contents, becsme oblivious to
all else. The doctors declare that the study
of Christian science has made HIN hopelessly
insane.

The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition by
the state Of the hairl
The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness a serious affection and
Julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints a rose OF sin
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance of the
forehead and nose and lower part OF the
face, Is one Of those whom the skilled ply
stefan will tell you Will some day dread
the funereal month of March, because it
Is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell us is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with a cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause Of that
cough cures the disease Of the lungs.
That is all there is Of it.
nc cough Is IN cNlucuc6 OF wasting.
To stop it cfTectually, a remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special 20 itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion of
narcotics and poisOns, but an old-fash-
toned preparation of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense.
1t is not a mere cold dryer. 1t is system
searcher and upbuilder and a consumption
expellant. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system.
j. w. Bensaw Of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan.
49, 1888, reported that "he had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
II you have cough, night sweats, "posi-
tive assurance in your own mind that
you, oh-you, have no consumption"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away, you may know that
soon the funereal month of March will
claim you, unless promptly and faithfully
you Use the article named. If other rem
edies have failed try this one thoroughly.
If others are offered, insist the more on
trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.
