At Resi-!

Wednesday morning at $40; at his
home in Columbus, Neb., Henry A.
Mueller passed quietly away TO the
realms from whence none return.
The news of his death comes like a
shock 10 his many relatives and friends
in this city as well as in his home.
lie was an old resident of this place,
having passed his childhood, and
years OF his manhood here among us,
up till a few years ago.
Five years ago, having married
Anna, the Youngest daughter of Henry
Brandes of this city, he with his wife
moved to Columbus, Neb., and made
that their home ever Size.
His death was caused by nervous
prostration, brought about by his &C.
cidentally stepping on a nail about 2
months ago. His brother, Herman
ii. Mueller. of Jackson, has been with
him for the past few weeks. and in
company with the bereaved wife and
orphaned children, will bring the re-
mains of the departed one to this cts
Saturday for intcrment.
The deceased was born at Magde-
burg. Germany, May 3, 1858. lie
leavns n wife, three children. several
brothers and d sister, besides a host
of other relatives and friends to mourn
his loss.
lie was a devoted husband, a loving
father. a true AID noble gentleman
and an honest friend during his life,
and many are the hearts that are
saddened by his hutimely death.
oh, Father in Heaven
Thou knowest what is best,
Thou hast taken the sufferer
To thee, there to rest.
To the grief-sfricken wife,
To the children bercft,
1nerc Is but one sOldcc,
But one comfort left.
To know that in Heaven
Once more they will meet
The one loved here on earth,
Tut whom love could not keep
Yet why did'st thou take him
So loved aud so dear,
IVA from HIS loved OLcs,
Away from all here?
Oh, comfort tine stricken ones
Left all alone
Let some ray Of light
Enter that desofate home.
Dear wife, despair not
God doth ail for the best;
And In heaven you will meet him.
When you 100 ne laid AT REST.

Another Dead Newspaper.

The Cape Girardeau daily and
weekly Ne1 Era, after a hard strug-
gle for two years gave up the ghost
Tuesday and turned its toes to the
daisies. The paper was started by J,
+. Mitchi,n who, after running il
about a year unloaded on Col. j. n.
Mitchell who continued to publish
it daily and weekly till Tuesday even
ing when he published his valedictory.
in which he announced the suspcu-
sion of both publications.
TO people who know nothing about
the newspaper business the death of
the Era may be a surprise, bat to the
practical newspaper man ii IS not.
The paper started without any iinan-
cial backing and it never received the
support necessary to sustain a daily
newspaper. 1t was not conducted on
Il business principle. II had no uni
form rates tor the advertising space
in its columns, but took aivertISe-
mcnis for any price tiic advertiser
was willing to pay. and then to make
people beiieve that it was doing all
%nornlous business the Publisher ex-
hausted lis wiRd-works blowing
about his great patronage. This OF
course led some people TO believe that
the Era was coming money. but We
knew better. We have been here a
long time i'll the newspaper business
who tried the business i'll this city
and we have stcn these great blow
hards come and go-some Times two
or three a year. We had to compete
with all kinds o. pretended news
paper men during our business career
publishers. from first 10 last, were the
most reckless OF them all. Since the
DEMOCRAT was established. sixteen
years ago. fifteen papers have started
up here, but not one of them lived
over three wears. and on them the
people of this city are out thousands
of dollars. but they are a generous
people aud they continue to bite at
any kind of bait in the way of Il new
newspaper enterprise that is offered
them.
WI have long contended that there
is room and support in this citv for
only II good newspaper and the
death of the Era is proof THAT we
have always been correct in our
opinion.

II Never Fails.

A few weeks ago u Southeast
exchanges were Iamentiug because
they believed that we were going
to have a short corn crop. They
were telling their readers that the wet
weather during tine carly spring fol-
lowed by a long drought during the
summer months would almost cause
a corn famine in Southeast Missouri;
but the editors who were making
these predictions are not natives of
the Southeast, tor no native would
make such predictions. lie knows
his country too well for that. lie
knows that nothing short of a flood
such as was experienced by Noah
in his ark-can cause a failure of the
corn crop in Southeast Missouri. This
Is the garden spot of America for
corn and wheat and the Oldest citizen
living cannot remember when VIC he'd
a failure OF these two crops. tits not
tight to publish TO the world that We
are liable 10 have a failure of crops
when such a thing was eve known
in Southeast Missouri. Ii is true We
do not have as good crops some years
as We do other years, but we always
have good crops. There is no country
under the SUI that is mort productive
than ours year after year, and there is
no other country where the farmer
can make money faster or easier
than here.
