The Turkey War.

Mr.. Editor:-In your article last
week there were some statements
that | wish to correct. You said the
Niles girls denied that they assaulted
me but claimed that attacked them.
| can prove by three eye witnesses
that they did assault me striking and
kicking me several times and that
did not attack or ill-treat them in
any way The article said Harris
claimed he used his revolver in self
defense. / would like to inquire
what brought him to my house in
the night with a loaded revolver and
what defended him after it was taken
from him and his hands were tied.

COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS

The court hOuseis now nearly COM
pleted and presents fine appearance
both inside and outside The Judge
of Probate and County Clerk have
each two rooms apiece, finished off III
hardwood, lit by electricity and pro-
vided with open fireplaces. The stair
way to the court room is of pretty
pattern, and the extra rooms up
stairs are well suited for court uses
The frescoing and finish in the court
room make that room as attractive
as parlor. The desks for the court
and officers will be stained in imita-
ton of mahogany, and new settees
have been placed in the court room
The town hall has been touched up
and is much improved The plan of
having a stairway from the stage to
the Judges room was given up. The
county officers will occupy their
rooms next week and the court room
will be ready for use at the coming
term of court The building is heat
ed by the Gurney hot water system

A CAR %.

To the many friends, who. by letters and
telegrans, by personal presence and gentle
words, by rich profusion of flowers from far
and near, and by tears and works of pity
have given us sympathy in our present sor-
row over the death of darling Bertha
we wish to express at least little of our
gratitude, though now we have no power of
words, no language for feeling. but only
hearts full of pain Some of you live in differ
ent parts of this state and some in other
states With some of you have very lit
tie acquaintance which makes your tender
thoughtfuness for all the more dear Some
of you have tears and SORROWS of your
from losses similar to ours. and yet you try
to comfort us in desolation. You have
been kind and helpful to You all must
have been with Jesus and learned of him
what to say and do We thank YOU all, and
will try to look beyond the painful sights
which now hurt eyes and hearts. to
Jesus, who, we hope caught our darling out
of the sudden awful crash of death.

THE DEATH OF MISS GATES.

No event of late years has so moved
this community as the dragging to
her death by her saddle horse of Miss
Bertha A. Gates last week on We'd
nesdav Thecaus of her being drag
ged is yet a mystery and perhaps
will always remain so. The stirrup,
instead of being the old-fashioned
kind, was the modern slipper pattern
which admits the toe of the shoe on
lv, and it would seem to be impossi
BILE that the foot could be held in it.
Yet some of those who saw the acci-
dent and endeavored to stop the
horse, say the foot was confined in
the stirrup.
Impressive services were held at
the residence of the father, Rev. M A.
Gates, on Saturday morning, attend
ed by many sincere mourners, some
schoolmates coming from Wellesley.
Prof. Gilbert and wife of Chicago
reached here Friday evening. Itis a
striking fact to remember since the
event that the verse of scripture
given by Miss Gates at family devO-
tions the day of her death was, "Be
We also ready, for in such an hour as
We think not the Son of man cometh."
The Barton Landing correspondent
of the Monitor has the following
tribute to Miss Gates: The tragic
death of Bertha Gates at st. Johns
bury, last Wednesday, has cast
gloom over our village. Her home
was here for four years, and every
one who knew her, held her in high
esteem she had enjoyed every ad-
vantage for culture and very few had
such accomplishments as she, and
yet all was carried so unconsciously,
that the poorest child was at home
with her. Her fine readings on pub
lie occasions are remembered with
pleasure"
The following "Brother's tribute
of love-" was written by Prof. Gil
bert of Chicago while on his way
East in response to the sad sum-
mons, and was read at the funeral
exercises:
At home with the Lord! O thou radiant
SOUL
What visions of glory and service are thine!
How sweet DER the fields of the heavenly
world
Are breaking upon thee the splendors divine!
At home with the Lord in the flush of thy
youth,
And girded about with the grace of the sky,
What rapture is thine by the foun tans of life,
Communing with Jesus al last, eye to eye!
At home with the Lord! In that circle di-
vine
No stranger art thou but child of the
place;
The name of the City of God on thy brow,
The smile of the Father serene on thy face.
At home with the Lordl AT the goal of thy
prayer;
The shadows behind thee and light all be-
fore;
New strength for endeavors immortal and
high,
New gladness that swelleth from more unto
more.
At home with the Lord thou spirit set
free,
What mysteries may unfold to thy
View
What heights of sweet truth that erstwhile
were dim
Stand bathed in orning eterna1y new !
AT home with the Lordl How the darkness
is thrilled
With light that is born in the bosom of
Love;
Sweet voices float in DER the hungering soul
In accents of infinite hope, from above.
C. H.. GILBERT.
