THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS are
right in refusing to approve the bill

making in the District, preferring the
bill that forbids those practices in

MRS. EMMELINE BRAoKErT.

At Grow River, Mimi, Jan. 4, 1888, Mrs.
Emmeline Bracket, wife of O. B. Bracket.
Mics Emmeline Thompson was born in the
town of WATERFORD, Me-, June 25, 1925. At
the age of eight she moved to Boston, Mass.
Jan. l, 1850, she was married, at Providence,
r. l., by Rev. Henry Bacon, pastor of the
First Universalist church of that city. In
1854 she came to Minnesota where she has
since resided. Mrs. Bracket was one of the
pioneer women of MINES ota, and when
doctors and nurses we're few, was always
first to hasten to the bedside of the sick and
suffering, and by her kindly sympathy she
has frightened may sick rooms. OF a cheer
full temperament, she was we'll fitted for a
pioneer life, and well do we who have known
her for years remember when times we're
hard and discouraging, how by some merry
jest she would make Us all forget trouble,
until our burdens would roll away and life
would be easier for us all. She was one OF
the few who worked faithfully for the First
Universalist church of Grow River, the first
of our faith west of the big woods in this
State; but now she has gone home, and many
friends are waiting to welcome her. May
he who tempers the grief of his children,
comfort those who mourn.

MRS. O. L. ABBOTT.

Mrs. Catharine 10y Abbott, departed this
life Monday evening, Dec. rs, 1887, aged ~
years and days. She was born in Preble
county, o., in the year 1915, and grew to
womanhood in that State. In 1854 she re-
moved with her fathers family to Iowa, and
settled in Page county, where subsequently
she was married to David Abbott, and to
whom she was faithful wife. He preceded
her to the spirit land only little more than
two years. She was one of twelve children,
six of whom, with both father and mother,
are now lover there" Soon the majority
will be on the other side. Gradually the cir
Gle narrows here and widens there. Mrs.
Abbott was an early settler in the county,
and long life of usefulness endeared her
to her many friends and associates. She was
an active member of the Universalist Church,
and an earnest, sincere, devoted Christian.
She was liberal contributor to the church.
Her illness was of short duration, but severe.
Sweetly she leaned her weary head on Jesus
breast and quietly fell asleep. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. B. F. Shook,
the pastor of the Clarinda parish.

PETER BLAKE.

At his residence in Strawberry Point, Ia,
Friday, Feb. 3, 1888, after lingering illness,
He was born Jan. II, 1928. in Greenbrier
county, Va, and at the time of his death was
65 years and 16 days old. He had lived
in Strawberry Point, since 1858, and was
profoundly respected and loved by all who
knew him. In all the noblest courtesies of
life he was well nigh faultless. In the solid
virtues of honesty, manIiness and temper
ance he was without a blemish. In faith he
was one of the best and truest Universalists.
His life was noble. His death was peaceful
and serene. His funeral occurred on Mon
day, Feb. 6, and was conducted by Rev.
Amos Crum, of Dubuque, assisted by the
pastors of the Baptist and Congregational
churches of Strawberry Point.

The cup was a familiar figure of experiences

of what the cup might contain, bat they we're
Jealous in their devotion to their Master

less expected the kingdom to be established
by the victory of war, and the ardent spirit
of the " Sons of Thunder" would swell at the
thought of a triumphant conflict with their
despised oppressors. They we're sincere in
their professed willingness to share their
Masters experience, though ignorant of its
nature. They afterward proved their SINGER
ity by the sublime heroism of their unselfish
lives, and fulfilled the Masters prediction
that they would indeed drink his cup. James
was the first Apostolic martyr (Acts xii. y;
and, according to the most reliable tradition,
John, though he outlived all the apostles, en-
dured many painful trials of his faith, dis
playing always the spirit of heroic martyr
dom. The faithful disciples might, indeed
share their Masters sufferings and the hon
ors of his glorious reign, but their promotion
in his kingdom could not be obtained by re-
quest, or conferred even by himself. 1t
must be attained by deserving and self-deny-
ing service and devotion to highest truth
and duty. The rules governing appoint
ments and promotion to highest Office in the
spiritual service of the kingdom of GoD, are
written in the unchangable nature of things,
and so the high places are prepared by the
Father for those only who are prepared to
occupy thsm. Advancement in the Christian
life is in accordance with growth in the knowl-
edge and graces of the Christian character
INDIGNANT BRETHREN.-When the 9th
er ten apostles heard of the shrewd scheme
of the two brothers to secure a decision of
the Master in favor of their superiority, they
were indignant at the manner in which an
advantage over them was sought to be gained
by their ambitious brethren. They were
jealous of their own claims to prominence in
the new kingdom, whose principles of ad-
ministration they we're all ignorant of. In
their selfish ambition and blind zeal for su-
perior position and power, the others had at
tempted to overreach them, and they were
angry. Had they known what they after
ward learned, they would have pitied their
deluded brethren. They who obtain power
by fraud and craftiness are more to be pitied
than envied. Truly honorable position is al
ways merited.

From the mint two bright new pennies came,
The value and beauty of both the samei
One slipt from the hand, and fell to the ground,
Then rolled out of sight and could not be found,
The other was passed by many hand,
Through many a change in many a land;
For temple dues paid, now used in the mart
Now bestowed on the poor by apitying heart.
Atlength it so happened as years went ound
That the long-lost, unused coin was found,
Filthy and black. it's inscription destroyed
Through rusting peacefully unemployed;
Whilst the well-worked coin was bright and

Through active service year after year;
For the brightest are those who live for duty
Rust more than rubbing will tarnish beauty.

FEVER.
Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious or that they are due to
the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however has proved
this to be fact, and the result is that a sim
pie remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three sim
pie applications made by the patient at home.
