Ora Bell Kees, only child of A. A.

s, 1891. On the morning of the 3rd
she complained of sore throat which
as 1t developed, proved TO be dyphthe-
ria; which together with Group terrdi-
mater fatally. She wns a faithful
member of the Baptist Sunday school,
and on the Sunday before she died
expressed her regret at being too sick
to attend her class. Only short time
ago, when the teacher had asked all
who loved Jesus to hold up their hand,
her little hand went up and she whis-

mother who died Dec. 81, 1890, she
said ''I want to stay and love my
papa.n Her last request of her father
was to gather her some flowers, and
she held the rosebuds till she could not
realize that they were flowers. Many
friends .sympathize with the grief
stricken father and commend to hir:
the grace and consolation of Christ
who said, 'tSuffer little children to
come unto me, and, forbid them not,
for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. )
A brief service was conducted at the
grave, by Rev. II. p. Boyd; sGod be

sung by the friends, after which they
dispersed to meet the little one in
Heaven, we trust.

While at Lebanon, says the San
Francisco Mining Review your cores
pondent went with some enterprising
gentlemen of that town to inspect
some prospect of natural gas. Near a
small stream is a bar, partially covered
with alluvial soil. Between the soil
and the water is strip of sandy loan
more or less damp and quite soft. By
lssashing stick into the soft earth and
withdrawing i. small hole is left,
from which gas escapes and which is
readily ignited with a match. The
gas continues to oburn until the soft
sides of the hole close together and so
cut off its escape. 1t burns sometimes
over minute, with a flame a foot or
more i'm hight. The flame Is blue and
very hot. Coal lies in the hills not far
distant, and it is said that the irides-
ceist effect of oil on the water is con-
stantiy seen on the surface of the
stream in the neighborhood of the gas
wells. At the time of the visit here
spoken of it was raining, the creek was
high and the ground full Of water and
very soft. Yet on pushing cane into
enati1, gfs escaped III sufficient quantity
to .at<1 H.ylit enough to see the water
the hole and close it up

The bachelor section is about two mile
east of Willow Prairie, and is completl,
settled by bachelors.
A. J. Nichols has new house on hi.

A. Fl. McQ ueen has commenced his new

Rev. T. A. Yost preached at Willow

W. X. Mealy has been working on his

that William is tired of baching and will
take unto himself housekeeper. There
are about as many old maids in the noun
tains as there are old bachelors so it is
about stand off between the bachelors and
old maids.
Mr.. A. Hacklenan passed over the road
with his drove of cattle to-day.
Mr. Mealy's ranch corners On The
bachelor section on the southwest, it is a
fine ranch and will be worth money some
day. We think Andy and Jedd are doomed
to be old bachelors sure enough, if they
don't get different move on them than
they have had, for the two Bills and A. I'll.
are sailing their boats all around them.
Andy and Jedd's advice is for little boats to
keep near the shore and not let the paddle
dip or they will be swamped.
Whenever the Crow starts over to the
places named in the last writing, don't
forget the bachelors and we will see if the

canaaa,s Great statesman.

Sir John Alexander Macdonald
the great political factor, the keen
political leader in the dominion OF
Canada, has passed away. He was
man of unlimited, restless resour-
ces, tireless energy, adroit execu-
tive skill and intense magnatisn.
He has faithfully battled for the
idea of British sovereignty us
against any and all plan for seper-
alton and republican home rule.
During the long period of his pub
lie service he has held various po-
sitions-membc of the executive
council, commissioner of the crown
Lands, member of the cabinet, min
lister Of the militia, attorney gencr-
al, arbitrator of the joint high
court at Geneva, and prime minis
ter. Governor-generals have come
and gone, in long procession; rivals
have risen and fallen back; liberal
ism has organized and threatened
and broken into political revolt;
but this marvellous old man has
kept his hand firmly on the helm
of state, and dies after one of the
most signal victories of his entire
career,
Time and again his friends even
have predicted that he would sure
ly come to grief; but in every in
stance he steered around the rocks,
conciliated conflicting elements
with rare skill; and his party to-
day seems as strong as ever. What
it will be without the master mind
is preblem that only time can
solve.
Sir John was on opportunist, as
most successful men in stateeraft
are. He was never in a hurry. He
went by the name of 'Old To-mor-
row." and his dilatory tactics have
>ften enabled him to profit by the
mistakes of others. AS a speaker
ne was fluent and impressive, rath-
sr than eloquent; but was skilled
debator, and had the faculty of
finding the weak points in his op-
3onent's armour, and of turning
chem to ridieule, which is often
more potent than any amount of
argument. He was very powerful
on the stump. and he never failed
to get on the good side of his audi
euce on snch occasions.
And he had, too, that other quail
ity of the worlds successful men,
IN infinite capacity for work, and
IN equal capacity to throw work off
ais mind when the time comes to
rest. Despite his years, he could
stay with the procession" as long
Is any one He was, too, with all
his manifold duties, a great reader,
md ripe scholar, thorough man
# letters, and man of the world;
blessed with robust mental and
1hysical endowment that enabled
aim to fill a score of roles at once
Take him all in all, he was one
If the greatest characters and
strongest leaders of the nineteenth
century.

To rest like Noall's dove.

Where all is joy and peace and love.
