At Rest.

In this city on Thursday morning,
June 25th, at eight o'clock-Emma, be-
loved wife of DR.. E. ]. Lewis.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Lewis, while not unexpected. was a
shock to her many friends, and cast a
gloom upon the entire city-for she was
universally respected and esteemed even
by those with whom she had no general
acquaintance. Refined and intelligent, a
pleasant companion, yet she ever seemed
to find her highest enjoyment within the
confines of her own home, and in the So
ciety Of her del oted husband and family.
Her maiden name was Kermott, and
she was born in London, Canada, in
August 1S49, and removed with her
parents to Red Wing, in this state in
1855. Subsequently the family removed
to LIE Sueur county, where she and DR..
Lewis were married in 1878, removing
thence to Ironton, Wis. where they lived
until April 1888, when they removed to
Sank Centre, where they haye since
resided.
She enjoyed excellent health until three
years ago. when she suffered severe
attack of pleurisy. which subsequently
developed into consumption, and for
two years she has fought valliantIy
against the inevitable. The doctor has
insisted upon the trialof whatever prom
ised relief, and the past two winters
have been spent in New Mexico and
California, and the first season she
seemed improved by the change. After
spending the past winter in New Mexico,
she was compelled to send for her husb-
and to accompany her home, and since
her arrival, about six weeks ago, she has
been gradually declining till the end
came.
She leaves devoted husband and
three sons of her immediate family, and
two brothers, one of whom was with
her at the last. upon whom the terrible
blow falls with crushing weight. Aside
from the deep anxiety for her children,
she was resigned and reconciled tc the
inevitable, which she appreciated to the
very last moment, retaining full con
seriousness to the end. The funeral SER
vices will be held at the residence at two
O'Clock tomorrow.
In their bereavement the fullest sympa-
thy of the entire community goes out to
the afflicted family.

reversing the order of the board OF com
missioners and for costs and disburs
ments..
This ends that matter and relieves the
parties in interest from SO much ta6a
tion.
Please advise those OF your neighbors
who are interested of this letter.
Yours Very Truly,

. THAT PENSION.

1t is not often that such a low-down
attack is made upon President of the
United States as that from Chicago in
dispatch announcing that a pension had
Just been granted Mrs. ElizabethT. Har
rison, widow OF President Harrison's
brother, carrying whit arrears amount
ing to several thousand dollars, after it
had, under other Administrations, been
twice disallowed. The implication
sought by the dispatch was that the PEN
sion was granted by the virtue of the in
huence of some one connected with this
Administration. Inquiry at the pension
office to day and an examination of the
papers in the case revealed the fact that
the claim was filed under President Car
field and prosecuted under President
Arthur; that under President Cleveland
Commission'rBlackg aveit serious consid-
Grafton, directing how the case should be
conducted to make it complete with fur
ther testimony necessary.
The case was completed when Presi-
dent Harrison was inaugurated, and has
simply been waitingits turn, the same as
hundreds of thousands of other pension
cases have to wait. No request or in
CURRY was ever made in the matter by
President Harrison or any one represent
ing him, and the tact that the claimant
was the widow ofthe Presidents brother
was never mentioned at the pension of
flee. The long wait for the case after it
wascompieted and beforeit was allowed
is evidence alone sufficient OF the fact
that no favor was shown the case The
statemen as in the Chicago dispatch car
ried vicious and malicious implication.
The evidence which completed the case
was filed Nov. %, 1889 in the handwrit-
ing of DIR. ]. ]. Johnson, late surgeon of
the Twent y-seventh Indiana volunteers;
also afidavits Of Lieutenant ]. M. Jane
son, of the same regiment, and Lieuten-
ant VIM. H. H. Sheets, Robert Browning.
Victor Hendricks and others well known
to general readers, and who make the
claim 6rst-class upon its merits.
An associated press dispatch says:
The Commissioner of Pensions was to-
day asked for statement in regard TO
the dispatch from Chicago concerning
the pension claim of Mrs. Elizabeth T..
Harrison, widow of the President
brother, Archibald J. Harrison. lieuten-
ant colonel of the Twenty-seventh In
diana Volunteers. General Raum caused
an examination of the claim to be made,
and found that the case was clearly
proved under the pension law. by the
testimony on file, and the pension Office
could not have done otherwise in the
face of the testimony than to allow the
claim. The claim has meyer been twice
disallowed, as stated, but has simply
awaited in the Office the evidence neces-
sary to complete.

THE city is considering the matter OF
putting in filter for the purpose of sup
plying the patrons of the water works
with clean and pure water. The expense
will not be great-less than $3.50, and
the advantages too apparent to require
argument. 1t is reported that enough
citizens along the line of the present
mains have expressed willingness to
take the water if filtered to pay very
large per cent. upon the investment. A
large we'll near the pump house is sug-
gested as the cheapest and best method.

the following in a recent issue:

says. "It is of Importance to make the
farmer disconnected in order to get him
to join the alliance" And this is what
people like the McDonalds make their
living out of: making farmers discon-
