Obituary

Mrs. Lucy \. BcynOn.- Beloved wife
Of Mr.. Griffith BcynOn. departed this
life Saturday. July 18th. 1893. at the
age of 50 years.
She was a native of New York a
resident in early life in Illinois and
later in Wisconsin. She was living
in the later state when in the year
1876 she was united in marriage with
Mr.. BcynOn. Six years before this
union Mr.. BcynOn had been deprived
Of his first companion by death and
several years previous Mrs. Bcynon
had lost her first huSband-Dr. Bing-
ham. This union was cOngenial one.
The wife assumed the duties not OF
wife and companion simply but of
mother to her husbands only son.
These seventeen years have been
lived by the family in Lacrosse, Wis,
three years: OwatOnna, Mimi, ten
years. and BroOkings 5. d., four years.
Many hearts outside the circle OF
relatives, will feel sense of loss and
loneliness at the news of this death.
Old pupils and cO-workerS in the cause
Of humanity and religion in the several
places Of her residence will gratefully
acknowledge that a life now gone has
touched them and blessed them.
Mrs. BeynOn with her husband came
to our BrOOkingS Presbyterian church
from the Congregational church OF
OwatOnna and at once became active
in the trueSt sense in all the depart
mentS Of usefulness. Intelligent,
spiritual. catholic and consistent, her
zeal was felt by all who came in con
tact with her. Her pastor witnesses
to the helpfulneSs of such life. Hel
presence in all the public services
when health would permit. her un-
usual missionary zeal and enterprise
have made a lasting impression.
When sudden death overlook her. it
found her busy in preparation for
leading the next missionary meeting.

ing-a program which must be carried
out by heavy hearts and with which
her memory will be inScparablc. She
rests from her labors and her works
follow her. "Shc hath done what She
could
A brief funeral and memorial service
was held at the family residence Sab

by her pastor Rev. A. NJ. Work assist

Editing u Newspaper.

An exchange says editing a news
paper is pleasant buSineSS-if one
can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements
the subscribers complain that they
take too much space.
If there is scarcity Of advertising it
is unpopular and the people wont have
it.
If we 60 to church regularly. they
say we 60 for effect.
If We stay away from church they
say we are mOnStr0uNly hCathcniSh.
If We accept an invitation to we'd
ding they say we are only invited to
"writr it up
If We 80 70 Che opera house thHy say
we 90 un Il free ticket.
If w are seen Ip3n the streets too
often they say W neglect our business.
II we avoid going on the streets they
say we don't hustle around after news.
If we reject d long winded COmmu-
nication its author becomes furiOuSly
cnragcd and diScOntinucS the paper.
If we publish lengthy COmmunica-
tiOnS. our readers say we lack diScrc-
tion and put in anythingto to fill up.
If we neglect to decorate our win
dowS on Washington's birthday, they
say we lack enterprise, and that there
isn't drop Of patriotic blood in our
degraded carcass.
If we swell out in a new suit of
clothes and celebrate grounding day,
they say we got our clothes in pay
ment for advertising, and that we are
by far too foppish.
If. in our frailty, we sometimes per-
petrate joke, or make a Stagger at a
poor little pun, they say we are cX-
ceedingly light and won't do.
If we omit jokes, they say we arc
poor, miserable fossils.
If we are single, they say we arc too
helpless to get married.
If we are not single, they say it is a
pity for our wives.
If we publish a man who has
brought disgrace upon his family, the
friends of the family never forgive us.
If we, out Of goodness Of heart de-
cline to say anything on the subject,
the mans enemies are disappointed,
and we are branded as a white livered
coward
We are able to stand these raps and
many more, and are ready to receive
visitors whether accompanied by a
dog or not.
or course we do not claim there is
any work to running newspaper,
everyone knows it is a snap.

new in its infinite variety, is the one
spot that every American should see:
and every reader'of DemOreSt's Family

in all its different aspects, at every
season Of the year, without the fatigue
and expense of the journey. Through
the charmingly written Superbly Illus
trated article "a Day at Niagara
one may become familiar with every
point of interest in the vicinity Of the
Great Falls: while those who propose
stopping there on their way to or from
the Exposition. may learn how they
NAV see all to the best advantage, and
with the least expenditure of time

tions one feels as familiar with the
place as if it were visited.

Special to the Argus-Leader.

Special to the Argus Leader.
PIERRE, July 15.-Thcrc is a good
deal of interest manifested over South
Dakota just now in knowing how the
money has been expended which was
appropriated for an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. The tCtai amount APP
prOpriated by the legislature was 500
600, 500 to be expended by the
state commission and $4,000 by the
wOman'S commission. OF the $50, 900
for the state commission. 81 300 was
set aside for expenses OF the commits
sion. An examination of the state
auditors books shows that out Of the
50, 800 on the lst day Of July there re-
manned balance Of SIP, 1907. The
sum of So, ,0S3.6 .65 was paid out to the
stock company. which erected the
building and this was the amount
agreed upon by the appraiSing com
mittee. The new commission has
therefore spent only about $4,000
since they had charge. Out of the
commission expense fund only 81 ,0S6-
80 has been expended. The $4,000
appropriated to the wOman's commits
sion $4,000 was for expense to the
commission. OF the expense fund
81, ,296.O7 has been expended. out Of
the general fund Of 81 200, the sum Of
81, 800. 81 has been expended.
The state auditor now has on hand
several thousand dollars worth of
vouchers. but he is holding up the
payment of them owing to irregulari-
ties in some of the vouchers presented
for payment. One of the items is a
bill of Superintendent Dow for fifty
eight days work during May at IS per
day. His bill is for thirty-one days
as superintendent and seventy,,Seven
days for work. Besides this he has in
a bill for expense during the month.
Most of the money paid out by the
state commission since they took
charge has gone for labor and very
little of the money for the products t.
make an exhibit. The pay roll for
labor has run from S2l5 to 1872 per
week.
All bills before they can be paid
have to be O. X ID by Gov. Sheldon.
