OBITUARY.

DIED-At the residence of ID. j..
Beaver, in Pleasant Valley, three miles
from Tilford, Thursday, September IL,
1891, at 11.55 p m, Miss Lulu Schell
superintendent of schools of Meade
county. The remains were brought to
Sturgis for interment on Saturday Sept.
10th and were followed to their last rest
ing place by large concourse OF relat-
ives and friends. Miss Schell was the
daughter of w. M. Schell of Rushville
Neb. and was born in Newton Falls Ohio,
May the Is, 1866, and was consequently
but little more than rs years OF age. She
was serving her second term OF superin-
tendent of schools of this county and
was taken down by the illness which 30
unfortunately terminated fatally while
on an official visit to school district No. 81
and for several weeks her friends were
alternately hopeful or depressed as the
reports of her condition were encourag-
ing or the reverse. Young and vigorous
she made heroic struggle in the battle
for life, and when at last when medical
skin and human strength succumbed to
the grim monster, and her young life
went out, gloom fell upon the commu'
nifty, and the people among whom she
had spent the last six years of life, fell
that in her death they had each met witt
a personal loss.
Personally and socially she was be
loved and esteemed by large circle O
acquaintances, and as an official sh'
ranked high among the best educators o
the state, as shown by the following mes
sage of coincidence from our ex-state su
perintendent:

under the constitution. The supreme
power is sovereign-hence, congress is
the sovereign. photographers say that
the Specification of sovereign is, ssu-
preme in power, having no superior"
What power in republic is superior to
the legislative power? Is there any,
in regard to making laws? Why then
call the executive the sovereign, who
make no law, but is bound to see that
the laws are faithfully executed, and
who cannot forbid theexecution thereof?
1t may be said that neither the ex-
ecutiye nor congress alone is vested with
full sovereign power ;but the greater power
is vested in congress; and when the rel
ative powers of each are to be weighed
in conflict arising between the two,
the congressional power ought to be con-
sidered supreme.
If we take the reports from Chile and
sift them, it is evident that the most in
telligent, wealthy, and law-abiding peo-
pie are with the Congressional party /;
and if the majority of the people have
not so expressed themselves, it is be-
cause they are not in a position to ex-
press their free will.
If the journals of the United States
are to be relied on, the majority of our
people are entirely with the Congress
sional part. Why then should the gov
ernment at Washington hesitate? This
government of ouis was established on
the same principles that actuate the
Congressional party of Chile. We
threw off the yoke of tyranny supported
by George III, and the Congressional
party of Chile is trying to throw off the
tyrannical woke OF Balmaceda.
