BETHEL.
RUFUS SHORT.

hCT tS 0hOhI.
 A sudden death indeed was that of Ru- fus Short, who expired at the residence of his father-in-law, Bennett Blackman of Main street, Danbury, Saturday even ing. He had for years been subject to neuralgia of the heart and his exertions, early in the evening, hastened severe attack. He arrived at MT Blackman's about and complained of sharp pains in his chest. Dr Benedict, who was hastily summoned. gave him soothing draught, but the relief was only temporary and Mr Short died about 20 minutes after reaching the house. Undertaken Cozier took charge of the body, which was at once brought to MT Shorts late home on High street, while the sad news was broken as gently as peaaible to the fam fly.
 The funeral at the house, Tuesday, Rev G. Terrence officiating, was attend ed by an immense conc0urse of friends, not only from Bethel and Danbury, but from Newtown, Hawleyville, New Mill ford and elsewhere. Floral tributes were numerous and elegant, comprising pill low from the brothers and sisters, an- chor from the shopmates, wreath from the children, baskets and bouquets from friends. The bearers were all members of the family; Edwin Short, Charles T. Short, Alfred Short, George Welch, Theodore Ferry, Robert Dauchey.
 Rufus Short, who was IS years old, was curler in the hat factory of Short Bros, Grassy Plain. He was one of nine children and was the first son to die. He served in the civil war in naval service and was in the Harriet Lane when it was captured. For several weeks, until ex- changed, he was imprisoned in tobacco warehouse in Texas ard was given noth- ing to eat but Indian meal and water. A member of the Grand Army and of Ma sonic lodge, his funeral was attended by both organizations.
 Although fully aware of his condition, tion and made no sign and few knew of 1 it. He was loving husband and father, faithful brother. good citizen and a man who was never spoken ill of. Be- sides wife, once Miss Blackman of Newtown, he leaves daughter, Mrs Theodore Ferry of Danbury and son, Bennett Short.
 A change has been made in the plans of the Board of Education and the grad uation exercises of the High School will take place on Friday evening at o'clock instead of Thursday afternoon, as at first arranged.

some surprise that he was not in the

you see it in the pictures in little, :"

is tawny and slightly mixed with gray.
In physique he is middle height. well
filled, and neither stout nor slender.
He has a stronger face and more in

traits credit him withal, and the lines
in his face are distinctly marked
there is quite deep line running across
his forehead. His eyes are keen and
gray. His coat was semi-military in

The Homestead Law.

For the benefit of those who are not IA
miliar with the Homestead laws, a brief
but comprehensive abstract is herewith
presented. giving the conditions under
which the Oklahoma lands may be entered
and settled. The Timber Culture and Pre-
emption laws not being applicable to lands
in the ne " Territory, no one can obtain a
patent for more than $50 acres. Subjoined
are the rules which govern:
Section :, esq. Every person who is the head
Of family, or who has arrived at the age OF
twenty-one years and is a citizen OF the United
States, or who has fled his declaration OF in
tention to become such as required by the nat
uralization laws, shall be entitled to enter one
quarter section or less quantity Of unappro-
priated public lands, TO be located in a body in
conformity to the legal subdivisions OF such
laws.
THE law under which the lands are to be
opened limits the effect OF this section TO the
extent of providing that each homestead To-
Gated shall as nearly practicable be in a
square form
Section 2,29O provides that the person apply
ing for the benefit OF the preceding section

service in the army or navy OF the United
States, and that such application is made for
his e. elusive use and benefit and the entry

that no other person is directly or Indirectly in
terested in such entry. The fee for such entry
and afidavit to be made to the register is s. for
eighty acres or less and $40 for more than

QUEER QUADRUPEDS.

A KITTEN at Norfolk, Va, has been trained
to drink milk through straw.
A RESIDENT of Washington, d. c., has an
animal which presents a curious combine
ton. Its father was a half Mexican hair
less dog and half rabbit, and its mother was
a cat Its hind feet are like dogs, with
the claws Of cat. Its skin is smooth, with
the exception of a few hairs on its back,
and its face is like that Of cat, lacking,
however, the whiskers and eyebrows. Its
tail is long and pointed and is curled up By
the animals side.
CONNECTICUT coons have many peculiar
traits, but Meriden has perhaps the only
pair that are not prohibitionists. Their love
for beer is so strong that they will drink
nothing else. Like many other topers, they
are unable to realize when they have had
enough. They get boiling drunk at every
opportunity, and usually end their spree In
savage fights. Neither will drink beer
brewed in Connecticut. They drink New
York or Milwaukee beer.
A FARMER living few miles east of
Honey Grove, Tex, has a mule that is

feature about his muleship is that he is lust

six feet two inches, so that q man who
stands six feet in his stockings standing by

weighs in proportion to his height, tipping

Human nature is always lacking some
thing. Oftentimes it were better off with.
out its wishes, yet it is universally con-

The great, rudy farmer pines because ne
has not won fame or position. The famous
man longs for the lusty health of the sturdy

How to secure and retain the SAVIOR of
health in the midst of this rushing, nervous,
over-worked generation is problem worthy
of our closest attention. 1t can not be done
with stimulants, which but spur on the
overworked nerves to fresh efforts, only TO
leave them more jaded and shattered.
Nor with narcotics, which temporarily
soothe, but to create an unnatural appe-
ute, the terrorS or which De Quincy has
so graphically portrayed.
1t may be asked, what is the cause of this
extreme nervousness, lack of appetite, lung
trouble, deficient heart action, failing eye
sight, apoplectical tendency, etc. We re-
ply, poisoned blood, caused by diseased kid
neys, and the troubles indicated are, after
all, but symptoms of advanced Kidney Dis
ease, which is but another name for Bright's
disease. Unless remedied there will be a
complete breaking down of the great
blood-purifying organs, the kidneys, and
they will be excreted, piece-meal, through
the urine.
Now, in the spring Of the year, owing to
the extra work which has been put upon the
Kidneys and Liver, through meat diet dur
ing the winter months, these symptoms are
more pronounced, and the danger to the
patient CORRESPONDENCE increased. 1t is
therefore imperative that the poisoned blood
be eradicated, and that he Kidneys be put
in complete health, whc b can be speedily
and effectually accomplished by the use of
Warmers Safe Cure, tried and proved
specific IN hundreds of thousands of cases.
Pursuing the path we have marked out
you will possess the salt of content, without
which LIES banquet is ''tlat, stale and un-
profitable"

How to Make Bone Dust.

The following method of manufacture
ing bone dust is practiced and COM
mended by New England farmer:
From $50 pounds of steamed ground
bones, separate 30 pounds of the finest.
Put the coarser 100 pounds into a
steamer or kettle with an equal weight
OF water, cover and boil about an
hour. Then dip out the contents into
a half-hogshead tub while hot, and
gradually pour into it about so pounds
of oil of vitriol, stirring the mixture.
When effervescence has ceased, add
the remaining so pounds of dry, fine
bones and mix thoroughly. Bones
which have had the grease and glue
removed from them are much easier
dissolved than raw ones.-Boston
