turned, and the convention is again at
work. The Williams complete constltu.
ton is the subject oil much discuss.
ion, All who have read II admit
that tho convention would not make any
serious mistake in adopting II In full, but
It Is not In harmony with some OF the
hobbies and must therefore undergo
amendment and decentralization, II moi
entirely brushed aside for new made
document. At this afternoons session
Il was ordered thatall standing commit
tees be requested to report by Thursday
Of the present week. This Is done tC
force the convention 10 business. The
event OF the day was the consideration
OF the resolution providing for a single
body OF the Legislature.
The leading champion oi the one house
idea was Stevens, OF Ransom, who de
delivered carefully prepared speech,
citing the fact that the Declaration o.
INDEPENDENCE and the Constitutions o.
the States have all been adopted by sin
Gle bodies and the great cities with theiI
vast population arc governed by single
bodies, Parsons, OF Morton, also spoke
In favor OF the plan, holding that thil
would DO the solution Of the greaI
problem OF corporation legislation. H(
maintained that the corporations contro
tho upper body In nearly every State II
the Union, and that one large represpn
tative body without tho check oi an up
per branch would DO q blessing to th'
people.
The question was discussed in com
mittee Of the whole, and the committed
rose without reaching vote, thus leav
| Ing the subject to come up for discus
sion again tomorrow.

The trouble has evidently only begun,
There was certainly u collusien among
the stcamboatmen to make channel by

Obituary..

Oct. %, 1889.
The subject of this sketch, David
Fund who died near Logan, Oct.
IL, 1889 at the advanced age of 81
years, 4 mos. and 90 days was born
in Bedford, Co, Pennsylvania,
May 10, 1885. He leaves a wife
and 12 children, s daughters and
4 sons, 81 grand and 6 great grand
children who survive him. Two
children l daughter and son, 10
grand children and one great grand
child having preceded him. His
sickness was of short duration (be-
ing about % hours,) but he bore all
with patience. He united with
Old School Baptist Church in 1867,
of which he was faithful member
but owing to his rheumatic trouble
in later life, he was not permitted
to attend services. We have rea-
sons to believe that our loss is his
his gain, and that he is now an
heir Of greater glory.
"Now peaceful is. the closing scene,
When virtue yields its BREATH
How swoctly beams the smile serene
Upon,the check ofdcath.
The Christmas hope no fear can blight,
No pain his peace destroy;
He Views beyond the realms of light
\ pure and endless joy.
o, who can gaze with needless eye,
On scenes so far as this?
Who but eXclaims, thus let me die,
And be my end like his!'"
