A MIDNIGHT OUTRAGE.

For some time past complaint has
been made by parties throughout the
city of numerous acts of vandalism
committed with the most malicious in
tent. A few months since Mrs. Steph-
ems, young widow lady, opened a
millinery store at Ia North Carol
street. Ever since the lady has been
there she has been subjected to various
petty prosecutions such rs rattling her
windows, trying the doors, etc. EARLY
last evening Mrs. 5. noticed suspicious
conduct OF two young men about her
premises. Later on, she was APP
preached by man who desired adj
mittance to the house, but was indig-
nantly dismissed from the door. About
midnight when the annoyance became
unbearable, messenger was quietly
despatched to police headquarters for
assistance. Two officers responded to
the call, and stationing themselves with
in the shadow of Grace church, saw two
men approach the house, dash several
stones through the show window and
dash off down Carroll to Mifflin street,
at which point one of the officers sent a
shot after them but withouteffect. Down

The greatest humbugger that has been
developed in this year 1889. in these

succeeded in duping three or four of

large sum of money which he had hid

ROSE FESTIVAL

The ladies of the Congregational
church gave Rose Festival in their
church on Friday evening. IL was a
very pleasing and unique affair, The
church and social room was made beau
tiful by rose decorations, festoOnings
and bouquets The tables were trimmed
with roses each one being y separate
and distinct color of rose. The lady
walters were attlred in white and wore
roses to match their tables. Lunch was
served from six until ten o'clock. Dur
ing an interval Misses Hattie Hyde and
Lena Oswald sang some solos which
were duly appreciated.
A large number of people We're in at
tendance and the beauty of the rose
decorations were much talked of. Each
guest was presented with button hole
bouquet. Twenty six dollars was made
clear of all expense. Rev. A. j. Covill,
in his brief remarks said that they had
expected to have the Excelsior Orches-
ira present, but We're disappointed at
the last moment, but had no doubt that
the high quality of the music rendered
by Misses Hattie Hyde and Lena Oswald
would make up for the lack in quantity.

ABRAHAM.

Died: In Bloomington, Wis, June IL,
Mr.. Ezra Abraham. The deceased
was born in Montgomery county, N.
r., October 9th, 1928. In 1886 he
married Margaret Tulloch. Eight chill
dren were born TO them, four sons and
four daughters. All are living except
two daughters, Cynthia and Mary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abraham came West
in 1855 and soon settled in Mt Hope
and made a home by subduing the
native soil, and caused the "deseTt to
bloom as the rose" Here they spent
their best years and strength, remote
from schools and church. They toiled
and reared their family to usefulness
and honor.
In his youth Brother Abraham
was converted and united with the
Baptist church in his native town. For
some years after coming west he lived
without the church, bat the later years
of his life he spent in the church and
for the promotion of the cause ofChrist.
HIS piety and interest in christianity
grew as his years advanced. He es-
poused the cause of temperance and be-
came an ardent worker for prohibition.
Bro. Abraham was man of few
words but great in action. Radical,
but not contentious fixed, but mild.
His integrity was unquestioned and his
fellows confided in him. He feared
God and hated evil;-loved the church
and the Gospel of salvation. In his
last painful illness from cancer of
the stomach he bore with christian forti-
tude and amazing patience the pangs
of breaking nature, talked of the close
of life with quiet confidence, and fell
asleep amidst the calmness of heaven.
The memory of the just is blessed.

marketing, may be safely trusted to

how much their daily food costs. nor
that they must keep their eyes open to
avoid being cheated. 1t is well to al

clothes, with more or less supervision,
