DIED.

At his home In Great Bend, Kansas,
on Wednesday, December I'd, 1891,
at 1I:45 a. M, dawn MERTON, aged
70 years.
Mr.. Merton was one. of the earlier
settlers of Great Bend, coming here,
we believe, in 1876. and doing business
in the city most of the time. or until
he was burned out in 1873. He leaves
no known relatives. having buried his
wife some years ago, and being child
less. Before his wife died he suffered a
stroke of partial paralysis, which made
him unable to do any business since
that time. The loss Of his life partner
was terrible blow to him, and he
bias steadily grown more feeble from
that time on until finally released
from earthly cares by the merciful
hand of the great Father. he has
for many years been believer in what
is known as Spiritualism, and ex-
pressed himself as being greatly COM
forted by nightly visits from his be-
loved spouse whom he said slways
came to bid him good night after he
retired. He Vas conscious up to Mon
day of this week but since that time
has slowly passed away.
Funeral services will be held today,
Thursday, at 10 O'Clock from his late
residence.
At rest at last. His lettering steps
No more will thread the busy paths
Of life. His burdens borne alone
For weary years, are now thrown down,
He dwells once more with his beloved wife
In the bright spirit land.
Before the brightness of the MONDAY sun
Had touch'd his stifening limbs
His soul had mated once again
With that true spirit which SO long
Had cheered him through life's pain.
His other ife's begun.

AN exchange publishes the following
short exhortation, which may reach
some young men of Great Bend:
Young man, dost thou go abroad in
the land at night, and rush the growIer,
and perambulate with the feminine?
Dost thou whoop 'em up with the boys
and finger the substance of the jack
pot and plant the shekels against the
ever slippery tiger? Art thou guzzler
of beer and a player of cards2 DOst
thou suck a ten cent cigar, and has
thou lost the grip on ways that are ripe
and wisdom which is good in the world?
Verify, verify. l say unto thee, thou art
in bad row of stumps 1t will not be
long ere thou dOst know thy name is
pants! Thy heels fly up ere long. aud
thou hast fallen in the soup Keep thy
eye on the gun and monkey not with
the juice of the bug. Steer wide of the
man with the aces, and in the ripened
years of life thy pockets will be full of
the collateral of the earth, while those
who mind not these commandments
are partaking of the lunch that is free. .
