A Letter From MIR. Van VIE.

Ontario, Cal, Nov. 10th, 1890
L. H. Glass; Ren0sha, Vas.
DEAR SIR:-Inclosed please find amount
due and amount for another years sub
scriptiOn for the TELEGRAPH-C COURIER
which we could not do without. Our
climate still holds out to be the finest in
the world, the last month (Oct) was per-
lection the temperature ranging from *
to 80 above nearly every day with cool
nights for sleep. On the 9th of this month
(Nov) we had a slight rain, enough to lay
the dust, and the weather is cooler but
the sun shines as brightly as it ever does
in Wisconsin in June or July. But this
is not all. We still continue to have a
republican government with a good pros
pect that the public schools will be con-
tinued for the next two years. In fact,
California is the banner state this Year,
and we hope to keep it SO for all time to
come We have had large crop Of fruit
ure which makes us happy. Some prune
orchards realized $500 per acre. The
raisin crop is also a grand success turning
off from one to one and quarter tons of
dry raisins per acre, and other deciduous
fruits in proportion. We have ripe grapes
from August to January, strawberries
about seven months; in fact, there is no
time Of year that we don't have ripe fruit
of some kind We also have ali kinds of
flowers and roses in bloom, and at the
same time plenty of snow in sight which
is on the mountain north of us about four
teen miles, and is about 10, 900 feet high.
This snow will remain until about the
first of next August.

OBITUARY..
ELI G. RUNALs.

Strange how think of Death,
The angel-beloved of God,
With his face like an asphodel flower,
And his feet with nepenthe shod.
Strange, how turn and flee
When he comes by the sunset way,
Out of the valley of rest,
Down through the purplng day.
But few of the old pioneers Of the north
west were better known and loved than
the genial gentleman who was last week
SO suddenly summoned to the country be-
yond the Shining River. Mr. Runals
came to Kenosha more than forty-fve
years ago. The whole west was in its IN
fancy. Kenosha was merely thriving
village. He at once identified himself
with the interests Of the place, built the
RunalS House, block of brick stores,
Odd Fellows Hall and other prominent
buildings. He opened and kept his ho-
tel, was president Of the Kenosha County
| farms, and was engaged in many large
| business enterprises. His was life of
constant work and activity. He travelled
twice back and forth from New York to
| Wisconsin with his own horses and car
riage, and trayersed many of the other
| States in the same manner. A number of
times his property was destroyed by fire,
| infiicting great losses, but his energy and
| indomitable will enabled him to rise above
all accidents and misfOrtunes. A buoy
ant, fearless nature marked all of Eli G.
| Runals life. He never showed care or
trouble in his face, but had the same
kindly word and friendly smile for every
body. Whatever weight he might be
obliged to carry he never asked others to
share the burden, or even let them see
| that there were clouds upon his life. His
own sorrows never dismayed him or wor-
ried those about him; but erect and
straight, he met and bore them all him
self No one who has ever seen can for
get the bearing of the man, his white
hair, his keen black eyes, his costume of
the gentleman in the olden time, the blue
dress coat with gilt buttons, frilled shirt
bosom, black stock and polished silk hat
made striking and imposing appearance
which attracted attention even in the
crowded streets Of Chicago, or in the more
finished thoroughfares Of New York.
With all the cares and competition
which belong to All active business life
the finer and softer parts Of our human
nature were not forgotten or ObScured
Mr.. Runals loved his farm life and it's
surroundings. The grain, the grasses,
the flowers and fruits, the little shrubs
and buds he tended with his own hands.
The cattle about the place, the animals in
the house, and the birds in the fields and
trees were the objects Of his constant love
and care. He would see none Of them in
iured or neglected. A long, busy and
helpful life was finished in the peace and
quiet of his cottage home; there was no
lingering and painful disease to mar its
end; but he dropped his armor in mo-
ment and stepped into the other life with
the confidence of one who feels that he
has done his work and done it as we'll as
he knew how.
'Why should we fear Death 50
What does the white one bear
Heart's-eas of Paradise,
Lilies of purer air!
Comes he so soft, SO kind,
Down from the singing sky
Soft as mother comes,
Stirred by an infants cry

one of the least of these my brethren, We
have done it unto me y

The ladies Of the German Lutheran
church most pleasantly surprised their
pastor, Rev. E. F. Dornfeld, at his resi-
dence last Thursday evening, carrying
with them number of valuable presents
In response to the numerous inquiries
from our friends as to when we will get
into the new building" we reply-''That
is thing no teller can find out. y We
have done our best at it and have failed.
The playful peculiarities of contractors
and planning mill men, their peculiar idi-
osyncracies, their idiosyncratic eccentrici-
ties, together with several other un-count-
on-able things have combined to destroy
our hitherto bland and child-lilIe faith in
mankind and his ability to prognosticate
the future with any degree Of certainty
any closer than $50 degrees Of the circle Of
possibilities. However, we wish to say
this:-The building will be finished, we
will be awfully glad to get into it, we
will have plenty of room, we shall be de-
lighted to welcome everybody to see us
when we get settled Especially those who
seem to have forgotten the poor printers),
and we have had our fill of building for
one season.
Mr. EDITOR:
noticed in the Gazette of Nov. II, 1890,
remarks casting disrepute on the Saliva
ton Army that is in our city endeavoring
to teach godliness and temperance. Is it
assist these Christian girls in keeping or
der in their meetings? There is no other
city but what the police would arrest
those laWless people for disturbing relig-
ious meeting. These meetings reach a
certain class Of people who seldom hear
the word of God preached or temper
ance lecture. We should rejoice in the
good work of the Salvation Army and en-
courage them when we look at the past
decade. They now march 80, 900 strong
of mostly men that were taken from the
slumS and the lowest drunkards and worst
men to be found in our cities and the
cities Of Europe, and judging from the
past, it looks to me like a persecution from
the Gazette in censuring these Christian
girls who are dong and teaching the same
as Christ and his Apostles did while on
earth. [ am no Salvationist, but want
them to have an equal right in our own
free land. j. ii. SAMMONS.

Railway Wreck at TruesdelI.
E. VAN VIE.

The hardest thing of a newspaper
mans life is to gain any authentic inform
alton when there has been a railroad
wreck, in fact he is surprised when rail-
road man even admits that there has
been a wreck. Thursday morning a bad
wreck occurred at Truesdell, Kenosha
county, on the Chicago division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul r. R.,
caused by couple of freight trains COM
ing together at about 3 a. m. AS usual,
the railroad authorities knew nothing
about the accident but from another
source the facts were learned. 1t appears
that the regular freight train bound north
was just pulling into the station. Another
extra stock freight train was coming
from the north The telegraph operator
at Truesdell had received orders to have
the trains pass at this point, but ne failed
to notify the conductor of the regular,
and the result was the two trains came
together with terrific crash. Both Of
the locomotives were badly wrecked and
from ten to twenty cars smashed, and it
is said. that number of cattle were killed
or manned. The engineers and firemen
of both trains escaped serious injury by
jumping. In consequence of the wreck
all passenger trains on that division have
been obliged to switch off at Western
Union Junction and run in to Racine
Junction and run to Chicago and Mil
waukee on the Chicago & Northwestern
tracks. 1t is estimated that the damages
will foot up at near $4,000. The blame
is laid to the Truesdell operator, who
failed to give the rderS.-RGcane Journal

There was meeting here Satur-
day of the executive committee of
the National Association of demo-
cratic clubs to decide whether it
would allow itself to be snuffed
out of existence by the democratic
Congressional Committee or stand
up like a man and take its part in
the fall campaign. The result was
a sort of a compromise. There is
great deal of hard feelings
among the democrats about this
thing, and it is likely to increase.
