Obituary
ELIZA A. KINNEY


The funeral obsequies of Mrs. Eliza
A. Kinney were held at her home May
Is, '92. A very large number of people
gathered and bore witness to the esteem
in which she was held. She had been
in an imperfect state of health for sew
eral years, and during the past few
months just previous to her decease,
she was very much enfeebled, but her
symptoms were not alarming and it
was not suspected that danger lurked
so near. Her real condition could not
be known; there was much suffering
concealed behind The admirable virtues
of patience and cheerfulness The dis
ease which had been secretly rayaging
her health internally, presently broke
to the surface in the form of small
carbuncle on the lip. 1t was stubborn
and resisted treatment; a physician was
called, but she sank rapidly under the
effects of blood poisoning which had
set in. and in one short week her spirit
was called from her earthly tabernacle
70 be clothed upon with the heavenly
tabernacle that is subject neither to
suffering nor decay.
Mrs. Kinney was born in Essex, VT,
Jan. 30. 1913. She removed with her
parents to Lancaster in 1857 She was
married to ". f. Kinney in 1867; he
was soldier in the civil war, and was
successfully county treasurer. mer-
chant and physician. They removed
from Lancaster to Potosi thence to
Marshalltown, Iowa After few years
thef returned to Lancaster in 1882 soot

According to the church record, Mrs
Kinney united with the Congregational

DEATH or ALFBEp nuMpnREY. n

DEATH OF ALFBED HUMPHREY. AsE
The entire western part of this
county was shocked to hear of the
death Of this most estimable man last
Wednesday. 1t seems that he came IN
from his cornheld at noon and put his
team in the barn after the hired man
had gone to the house. Dinner being
ready the family sat down expecting
Mr. IL. to be in in few moments, 1t
happened that little George was not
very well and soon finished his dinner
and his mother told him he would
better run down TO the barn and call
his father. This he was very willing
to do for Mr.. Humphrey was
quite strict about having all his
children at the table at meal time. and
his mother told him that he could now
get good joke on his papa. George
ran to the barn and saw his father living
OH his side Just behind the horse and he
at once ran crying to the house. This
alarmed his mother, and the hired man
ran quickly TO the barn and hastily
picking up Mr. H. carried him to the
house. Mrs. II. at once applied restor-
atlyes and did all in her power to
restore consciousness but in vain. A
doctor was at once called from Brush
Creek but when he arrived life was
extinct. The hoof of the horse struck
Just over the heart, breaking one rib
and no doubt the conclusion caused
instantaneous death
Mr. Humphrey was for years in part
nership at Glen Haven with Mr.. L. Bas-
ford. and his family have always occu-
pied prominent position among the
enterprising people of Grant County.
The X. of p lodge at Brush Greek took
charge of the body and telegraphed
to the Knights at Bloomington to re-
ceive it. Mr. Humphrey was buried
beside his father iu the family lot in the
CEN eterY near Patch Grove. The fun
eral services were conducted by the
Bloomington X. Of r. Lodge and wore
very impressive. DR.. Glazicr read the
history and obituary. and John Bidwel
ESQ read a selected poem
Mr. Humphreys loss is a severe one,
not only to his family but to the com
munity in which he lived A man Of
unusual energy, excellent business tact
and ability, possessing a most exemp-
larry character and rare genial qualities
that endeared him to all. (and these are
legion) who mum bered themselves
among his acquaintances He leaves
an unusually large circle Of friends to
mourn and sympathize with a devoted
wife and four bright children The
beautiful home in which he hoped r.
pass many years Of happiness is indeed
lift desolate IL luioscm ia 1ncs.

The Ancient Jews Were Great Boxers


A pugilistic ring was a favorite game
with the ancient Hebrews If that ring
was ruled by the rules of our modern
''code of pugiism," I hardly can tell.
The first trace of that game we find III
the narrative of the Scripture is when
Abner, the commander in chief to Saul,
met David's general, Joab, and the for
mer asked the latter, ''Let the boys rise
and play before u.s. This amicable
boxing, the Scripture informs Us, turned
out regular slaughter, SO that Abner
was obliged to beg Joab in these words
to stop it:
''ShaH the sword eat human flesh for
ever" From this plain narrative we
can see how favorite the boxing game
was among them. We can apply to tIe
ancient Hebrews the we'll known prov
erb in u modified form, ''When Jews
met Jews there was tug of war [.
seems that q Jewish greeting was box
on the ear. By the advance of a cul-
tured humanity the roughness of the
''ring'' has also been humanized.-B

No matter how well conducted it
may be, bar-room is essentially a
center of Decentralization. But below
the open, manifest evils which allrec-
|ognize as arising from the saloon,
there are subtle influences which come
in time to pervade the whole neigh
borhood. Men, aud still more, wo-
|men, feel it while passing along the
street and even in their homes. From
the conversation of men with loose
habits the very air becomes familiar
lied with vice, and they repeat at home
what they hear abroad. 1t is in the
purlieus of the saloon, also, that the
loose characters of the locality are al
ways to be found, ready instruments
for the purposes of the ward heeler
at election times, to be used for the
discontinue of the respectable voter.

Simply because the political parties
acknowledge our power aid have faith

keepers trying their utmost to keep
women from the polls? Because they
have faith in them. They know that
soon as women are allowed to vote,
just so soon their power is broken,
their business ruined and most of
their saloons closed.
If others have such faith in US, we
ought to have faith IN ourselves. We
gladly admit that our Union is doing
much for humanity, but it is compos-
ed of individual members, hence it
follows that each one exerts a power
