No More Postmasters,

Congressman CasWell has been urged
a great deal of late to appoint a new
postmaster at Kenosha, where d. A. Ma
honey Democrat, still holds the fort.
Mr.. Caswell has steadily refused to take
any action where q postmaster is doing
his work well, and proposes to let Mr..
Mahoney stay in until bis term expires,
which will not be until December, 1891.
The retiring congressman will leave to
his probable successor, Mr.. Cooper the
job of naming new postmasters. He has
had enough of that for himself.-Rdc1n6

Was He Robbed?

A young farmer named Sittig, from
Brighton, Kenosha county, came to town
on Saturday. He had about $50 in his
pocket and friend, who owed him money
paid up the amount and swelled his
pile to S45. Late in the afternoon Sittig
appeared at saloon on Washington
avenue and displayed his money. There
was q neighbor Of his present and he
asked Sittig to ride home with him in q
wagon. Sittig accepted the invitation.
When he started he swears he had his
money safe in pocket, but in a short
time it was missing. He has a strong
suspicion that his friend robbed him.
Complaint was made to the police, but as
the alleged robbery was committed out
side the city, they have no power to do
anything in the premises. No doubt the
trouble will be allowed to drop as Sittig
would have hard work to prove that his
neighbor took the money.

OBITUARY..
MRS. PAULINE GASKILL.

1t was not generally known last Satur
day afternoon. that the funeral services
were then taking place at the COngrega-
tional church in this city Of one who had
long been one Of the most beloved of our
citizens, Mrs. Pauline Gasl1ill, the aged
widow Of David G. Gaslkill, himself TWEEN
ty-fivc years ago one Of the most highly
respected and WOrthieSt Of our business
men,
Mrs Gasllill was the daughter of Free
man and Grace Badger Barnard, of Cow
entry, Ct, where she was born August
Both, 1911 She was married to David G..
Gasllill al the home Of her sister, Mrs.
Samuel Hale, at Paris, n. T.. on May 7,
1882. The then young couple removed to
Nashville, Tenn, in 1888, and after resiCj-
ing there two years, made their home for
thirteen years at Gallatin, in the same
State. In 1913 they decided to return to
the North, where they lived until Mr.. Gas
continued to reside in Kenosha, with the
exception Of brief period, until about
one year since, when she was borne by
loving hands to die, as it has proved, in
the hospitable home Of her nephew Mr..
George Hale in Chicago. During the la
ter years of her life having lost a favorite
niece, who left family of young children.
it was her mission to take charge of those
thus providentially committed to her care,
and these in turn with other loved ones,
have gratefully cared for and soothed her
sufferings and infrmities in her own de
Ginning years.
In the different places Of her residence
and the varied circumstances of her life
the sweetness Of her natural temperament
and her unfailing kindness and charity
for all have won for Mrs Gaskill the
warmest attachment of large circle Of
said, that lin her tongue was the law of
Kindness She had united with the
church at Auburn n Y, at seventeen
years of age, and in her life has been very
happily verified the promise that those
whom He early satisfies with His mercy
shall rejoice and be glad all their days"
Her Christian life, so early begun, has
been distinguished in all the changes and
trials through which she has passed, by
the beautiful harmony of all its graces
and delightful cheerfulness and hope,
ever springing from the fullness and firm
ness of her trust in the Savior whom in
her youth she had accepted. In all the
years of wasting and weary waiting I'M
der the slow influence of the disease which
has finally destroyed her life, her sweet
patience and unwavering confidence in
the wise will and love of her Heavenly
Father has rendered her sick room hal
lowed place of instruction to her many
loving friends With the same joyful
faith which has characterized her life,
when the last summons came, her gentle
spirit has passed triumphantly into that
''rest which remaineth for the people OF
God COM.

The sad news reached Kenosha
Tuesday of the death OF Mrs.
E. j. Bentley. daughter Of Mr. and Mrs.
Seth Doan. The death was caused by
the explosion Of a gasoline stove, the
flames of which caught Mre. Bentleys
clothing The news threw a gloom over
most of the best families Of KenOSha.
Mrs Bentley was born and reared here,
and although she has lived with her hus-
band in Washington the past seven years
the impress of character distinguished
by all the most lovely traits Of woman is
as clear upon the hearts of her friends as
If her life had been right here. She was
the friend from earliest childhood OF
many families in Kenosha, and her death
is to them almost as the loss Of sister.
Not alone within the precincts Of her
own home was she held dear, but her
modesty, sympathy and amiability won
the hearts of all with whom she came in
contact, Her life for several years has
been passed largely in caring for an in
valid husband, and she was pecu-
liarly we'll fitted for the sacrifices
necessary in such a life. She had the
strength of character to sink herself and
her personal desires in the duty to her
husband and family even when such de
votion meant much more than it does un-
der ordinary circumstances. She leaves Il
husband who will be almost lost without
her. son and a daughter. Her parents
and sister have the sincerest sympathy
of very large circle of friends in the
loss Of such a daughter and sister.
Mr. Bentley, with his son and daughter
leave Washington this morning at IL
o'clock, via the B. & o., with the re-
mains. They will arrive in Kenosha
either at l p. m. or 4.35 p. M. on Friday
after which the services will be held.

nections in Chicago.
