vessel the James II. Rutter,' the YES

A Bright Young Nan Gone.

BKD-()n Monday, August II, 1880, at 7:14 p. u.
Calvin Fr ederick, son of C. F. and Il. A. Diffen-
bacher, aged II years, 5 months and II days.
A feeling of sad regret swept the
public heart when the announcement
that Fred Diffenbacher had passed to
the far unknown; regret that the light
of young man so full of promise OF
manly usefulness had gone out forever;
sadness that the hopes of fond parents.
brothers and sisters, had been blighted,
and that the voice of friend and play
mate had been hushed for all time.
Fred was second son who gave
promise of bright manhood. He had
many friends who loved him for his in
tegrity, his ambition and his courteous
and manly demeanor. He graduated
with honor from our city high school
May 20, 1889. Afterwards he attended
Washburn college, at Topeka, and on
June 18th of this year he graduated in
the preparatory department of that
college. He was an industrious student
and was preparing himself to finish an
education SO promisingly begun.
About three weeks ago he was taken
ill with fever, which proved to be
malignant typhoid, to which his young
life was finally forced to succumb. The
entire family, excepting Mrs. Brands,
was with him to the last.
The alumni of the city high school
passed resolutions of respect, and will
attend the funeral in a body today.
The many young friends of the de-
ceased sent to Pueblo and obtained a
splendid floral tribute to adorn the
burial casket. It is magnificent motto,
1.-THE Gates Affair."" arranged in fitting
design and composed of the choicest
exotics to be obtained.
The funeral procession will leave the
residence at 1870 this p. M, and ser
vices will be conducted at the M. E.
church at 2 o'clock. The pail bearers
selected are: Leon Dalziel, Frank
Craig, Chas. V. Brinkman, Ed. Heller,
Chas. BoswOfth and g. L. Chapman.

The Spanish have a proverb,
"Woman loves with her ear, but
man with his eye" Persuasive wooing
captures a woman's heart, while an
attractive appearance conquers the
man. To retain mans affection and
secure enduring happiness, a woman
should be as charming in married life
as in the days of her bewitching
maidenhood. Her captivating weap.
ons are a fair and blooming com.
plexion, soft and spotless hands,
freedom from skin and scalp impurities,
pimples, chapping, and the possession
of the delicate bloom of perfect health.

4 Boon for Suffering Women.

there are also times that try womens souls. AS

OF such diseases than Pe-Tu-ua. In that most

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Wednesday, mornings storm was q
severe one for two hours and again left
some marks of ruin very near our
abode this time striking the fine
residence owned and occupied by d. j.
Coles family. The lightning entered
the house at the large brick chimney
and made its way downward in two
courses, one coming out into the sitting
room demolishing large French plate
mirror and blackening the white walls.
It then followed the Gold leaf picture
moulding clear around the sitting room
charringit black; it then passed through
the wall into the parlor and followed
the moulding here just as it did in the
sitting room with the same effect In
its course it struck and destroyed q
large picture which stood on the piano
The other course went down through
Grandma Coles bedroom tearing off
about three yards of plastering at the
head Of her bed shocking her quite
badly. From here it passed through
the bedroom closet into the front hall
making large break in the wall and
then passed out.
The most remarkable and at the
same time most fortunate feature was
the fact that none of the occupants Of
the house we're hurt, Mrs. d. J. Cole
and daughter Nellie were occupying q
room down stairs joining the sitting
room and lying in bed next to the
chimney which acted as the main con-
ductor for the lightning. Grandma
Cole and Mrs. Cole were both shocked
but were soon over it. The damage to
the house and furniture will amount to
$3.50.

southsto north and from ten to- forty
miles in breadth, and comprises over
5000 square miles. The Daluth-Super-
ior line of the G. NJ. & st. P. R'y now
under construction, and the lateral
lines it will build to develope this
country viii make the raw product of
this whole territory tributary to this
point. AS fast as the forests are remov-
ed the country viii be colonized, and as,
1t is as rich and productive as any land
in the west, it will support population
that will make Babcock a fourishing
trade center for all time. The reason
for this assertion is that this site is at
the junction of the two great pathways
of the c. M. & st. P. R'y to the north,
through which that Company is putting
forth it's efforts for the development of
the almost illimitable resources of
northern Wisconsin and Michigan. Its
further advantage as a manufacturing
site Tin addition to its proximity to
comparatively unexhaustible supply Of
raw product is the unparaIlel facilities
afforded by the e. NJ. & St. P. R'y for
distributing the manufactured articles
over six thousand miles of populous
country traversed by its lines.
These advantages have already been
discovered by manufacturers, and
already three concerns, which will
employ from 25O to 800 men, are negoti-
ating for locations, and will establish
their plants at this point. Others will
follow.

1t gives us pleasure to inform our
readers that Prof c, III. FOX, formerly
principal OF our schools, was re-engaged
for another year at PIatteville at an
increase of salary. This is a positive
proof that every where else he teaches
he is considered frst-ciass instructor
and it also proves that he labored under
great disadvantages while in this city,
not from want Of personal qualification,
but from other motives not necessary to
mention at this time. Miss Jenkins
who taught the past year in Milwaukee
was re-engaged to teach another year in
that city. Their mutual friends In this
city are glad to learn of their excellent
success
