FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1892.
OBITUARY.

Mrs. Eliza Burgess departed this
life at her home near Eagle Lake,
Mimi, April 3, 1892, in the sixty-sixth
year of her age. She was born in
Kentucky, Nov. 18th. Her parents
moved to Indiana when she was quite
small. Early in life she became a
Christian and united with the Chris
tan church under the ministry OF
Elder John NJ. Harris, in Indiana,
since which time she has lived a con-
sistent Christian life.
September 10th. 1916, she was mar
ried to William II. Burgess, in Park
county, Indiana, with whom she lived
happily until her death. God blessed
their lives with a family Of eight
children. five sons and three daugh-
tiers. The three daughters and one
son have preceded her to the spirit
world. The four sons remaining,
with their families, live in the neigh
borhood of Eagle Lake, their parents
having moved to this place from
Indiana in the autumn Of 1856. Mrs.
Burgess leaves a husband and four
sons, with numerous relatives and
friends to mourn their loss.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Elder David Husband, pastor OF
the Christian church of Mankato.

PAID THEIR LAST TRIBUTE.

The sun came out in all its bright
ness on Sunday morning. but there
was sorrow and sadness at the home
of the late John G. Simpson. Those
who stood at his bedside during his
sickness and his wife who had been
his companion for years, wept like
little children.
As the day wore on, friends came
and went. Old gray haired men, who
have passed the allotted time of man,
bent over the casket and took a last
look at him they knew and respected
in his life time. Women and child
rem stood beside ali that was mortal
and took long, last look at the de-
parted. The hour Of the services at
the church came at last, and only too
soon for the stricken family.
The officers of the company. Of
which the deceased was an employe
for nearly 80 years, were present and
mourned with those that mourned.
At O'Clock the remains were deposit
ed in front Of the chancel rail in st.
Johns Catholic church. Long before
their arrival the ediflce was crowded
to its full capacity by friends of the
departed soul, who desired to hear
the last words said by Rev. Father
Prior, over the remains of their friend.
The casket was literally covered with
floral offerings. The Odd Fellows
sent a piece known as three links
with "F. L. T." inscribed upon it.
The employees of the express company
at Winona made their offering in the
shape of wheel with one of the fell
loes gone. The officers of the COM
pany also showed their appreciation
by sending an immense floral offering.
Besides those mentioned there were
others from friends far and near.
Father Prior spoke in calm and
deliberate manner, illustrating the
character Of Mr.. Simpson as he was
seen and noted Of men. He went on
to say that the deceased always had
smile and kind word for this one or
that one and for this as background
he preached a genuine sermon to his
many hearers. At the conclusion Of
his remarks, the pall-bearers took up
the casket and carried it to the con-
veyance outside which in turn took it
to the cemetery for interment.
The services at the tomb were SIM
pie but solemn, and after little the
weeping and heart-broken mourners
returned home only to find consola-
tion in the Book ofBooks, that by and
by all tears shall be wiped away. That
whereas we now see through glass
darkly. we shall then see face to face
and know as we are known.

Willard of Mankato, Eli S. Warner
and G. w Baker of St. Paul. This
company began business in the spring
of 1885, locating on John street. In a
year or two they removed to West
Third street, where they doubled
their facilities and business. On May
1. 1891, they began the construction
of the splendid four-story brick facto-
~ on the West side levee and moved
into it in the fall. Here they more
than doubled their facilities again,
and employed some so laborers.
The company will begin immedi-
ately the work of reconstructing the
factory. This morning they will open
an Office in one of Paul Martins new
buildings on South Robert street, and
they will do their manufacturing in
Minneapolis until their factory is in
working order again.

A DISASTROUS FIR E.
The White Lead And Oil Company 5
Plant of st. Paul in Ruins.

The Saint Paul White Lead and Oil
Company, of which Mayor J. A. Will
lard, of this city, is partner, has
met with a loss of $4,000 caused by
fire.
The Pioneer Press in speaking Of the
catastrophe Thursday says:
An $4,000 fire took place in Saint
Paul Wednesday. The ST. PaulWhite
Lead and Oil company were the suf-
ferers, their splendid plant on the
West side levee being more than two
thirds destroyed. The insurance
amounts to only about $4,000
In little more than an hour the
stock Of goods and material in the
factory was totally destroyed: in fact,
everything in the building was burn
ed or ruined with the exception of
the engine, boilers, furnaces. the
vault and contents and a few ma
chimes. The front wall alone stood
intact and practically uninjured.
The side walls had crumbled away
from their connection with the top
edge Of the front wall, tapering down
until at the rear they were even with
L
also crumbled down to the second
floor. The chimney at the northeast
corner was not damaged. The roof,
all the floors and partitions were
burned away to the basement. The
only salvage upon the building, as eS-
timated, will be the foundation, the
front wall. the chimney, and part
Of the side and rear walls from the
second floor to the foundation
In the basement was stored oils
and yarnisheS. On the first floor
were paint brushes, glue, sandpaper
and paints and other manufactured
goods in cans and kegs. On the Sec
ond floor were paints in tanks and va
rious material for manufacturing.
On the third floor were all the grind
ing machinery, consisting mainly Of
forty paint mills. On the fourth
floor were two putty chasers. three
paint mixers, and the stock of mate
rial consisting mostly of dry paint,
dry white zinc and white lead, Turkey
umbers and siennas. The French
burrs Of the grinding machines are of
course destroyed, the heating causing
the stones to crumble.
6. ". Baker, one Of the proprietors,
SAID TO reporter that the building,
which was constructed last summer,
cost little over $50, 900: the fixtures
and furniture cost SIS, 000: the engine
and boilers 5000.
1.-THE stock of goods and raw ma
terial inside" continued Mr.. Baker,
''can, Of course, only be estimated;
but there was at least $40, 900 worth
OF material. Two car loads OF linseed
oil on a sidetrack close to the building
worth 81 800 per car. were burned.
The salvage will be nothing on these
things: but there will be a small
salvage on the mills, and on the en-
gines, boilers and furnaces. The
building is more than half-deStroyed.
| should think our loss must reach
about $4,000, with only $4,000 Of in
surance."
The contents OF the vault, consisting
of the books aud all papers of the
company, were uninjured.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS
Taken From The Panorama OF Every
Day Life.

No man in either house of congress
has less time to himself for the trans
action Of personal or private business
than the speaker of the house OF rep
resentatives, says S. D. Fry. Indeed
it may be truthfully said that that
official has not sufficient privacy to
enable him to attend to his official
duties with the carefulness and ac-
curacy as to detail which would seem
to be most desirable, not only for his
own satisfaction but for the welfare
Of the people for whom legislation is
carried on. A room on the southeast
corner Of the house wing of the CAPT
tol, very near the elevator, is set aside
for the special use of the presiding
officer of the popular branch of the
National legislature: but it is a popu-
lar fiction that when the speaker
enters that room he shuts off all an
noyances and cares for the outside
world. As a matter Of fact the speak
er is never allowed to have moments
peace in his own official room.
The early risers in any Of our large
cities have the privilege Of witnessing
an exciting and interesting sight
about the railway depots Just before
the departure of the paper train, for
that is the name it goes by. In New
York, for instance, the train leaves
Grand Central depot at 4:35 am. At
4:20 am. not sound is heard unless
it be by the men who have charge Of
the train. Suddenly noise of wagons
is heard rolling over the payements
The conveyances prove to contain
thousands Of newspapers to be sent
all along the line from Harlem to
Buffalo and beyond. For ten minutes
the air seems to be full Of papers and
when the last bundle has been thrown
on the train, the iron horse with its
load moves out Of the depot and on
Is journey.
~
A little boy in the North side pub
lie school recently handed to his
teacher his following composition on
"Our Breath" ''Our breath is made
of air. If it were not for our breath
we would die. The breath keeps
going through our liver, our lights
and our lungs. Boys shut up in
room all day should not breathe.
They should wait until they get out
door,. Air in a room has carbonocide
in it. and carbonocide is poisoner than
mad dogs. Once some men was shut
up in black hole in India, carbono-
eide got into that there hole and
afore morning nearly every one Of
them was dead. Girls wear corsets
which squeeze their diagrams too
much. Girls cannot run and boiler
like boys cause their diagrams are
squeezed. If was a girl 1 would Just
run and holler so my diagram would
grow. That's al on breath. Nm
