SUDDEN DEATH.-We noted in last
weeks issue, in a few lines, the sud.
den death of Mr.. RisserHuber, which
occurred last Thursday night, short
ly after midnight Mr.. Huber had
been in Chicago, and was in compa-
ny of one of his sons who resides in
the west. He complained a very
little before starting for his return,
but nothing serious was deemed
wrong. Upon arriving at home the
immediate friends and relatives went
to see him to learn of his trip. He
complained of being tired and said
he would retire early and tell them
the next day. He was taken worse
during the night and expired in a
few minutes. Heart disease was the
cause. The funeral services took
place from his residence on Saturday
afternoon, at Q o'clock, Rev. VIM.

Der was an earnest christian worker,
and as citizen was held in high es

connected with his Worlds Fair
visit was the fact that while there he
purchased little mementos for each
member of his family and for all his
grandchildren. Though small they
may have been, with what apprecia-
ton they will be held by those for
whom they were COTTON.

In the states in which the Repub-

sieged by numerous parties of his

visions and other things for his CON-
fort during the winter. Mr.. A. S..
Garrett made the donation speech,
and the pastor was so much over
whelmed as to be able to reply with
only a tew words, but they showed
his warmest heartfelt thanks. Rev.
Chamberlin work here has been
most satisfactory and the results of
his labors have endeared him not on
ly to his own people but to all of our
citizens. We hope he may stay with
us long, and be blessed with the same
success in Christian work in the fu-
ture as he has been in the past.

WILL RETURN FROM AUSTRALIA
We are sorry to learn that on account
of disability, the result of an injury,
Mr.. Charles W. Thatcher, who set
sail last August for New Zealand, is
obliged to return home. Mr. Thatch-
er Immediately upon his arrival, re-
ported for duty at the Office of the
Walter A. Wood Moving and Reap
ing Machine Co., but almost as soon
as he arrived he was disabled from
duty by severe pains in the back.
Upon the examination of two COM
petent physicians, John Guthrie, M
D. and W. D. Ovenden, of the Lon
don Royal Collage, they sent to the
home company in America a diagno-
sis of the case, showing that it was a
nervous affection, a result of an in
jury affecting the nervous system
They say that it was probably the
change of climate which made the
malady appear more malignant. They
further advised home treatment, and
in concluding their report, regretted
very much that there was no mani
festation of its incipiency before he
sailed.
The Walter A. Wood Company
were exceedingly kind in their treat
ment of Mr.. Thatcher, and as soon
as they knew of his illness, they
wrote their branch house at Christ
Church, New Zealand, that they
should give him all possible atten-
tion, and to get the very best medi.
cal aid that could be obtained. 1t is
in fact most comforting to his par.
ents and friends to know of his being

Charles letter to his father is full
OF Encouragement, but he says it will
take much more time than medicine
before he gets right. A cablegram
later advised the home company that
he set sail for return home in time to
throw him in San Francisco on the
Gath of November, where his father,
Mr.. j. Newton Thatcher, will meet
him. In the letter to his father,
Charlie speaks in the highest terms
of Mr.. j. J. Richardson, the Campa-
ny's manager at Christ Church, who
was his companion on the outward
voyage. He also gives an interest
ing description of some of the Gus
toms, characteristics and peculiari.
ties of the people, as an American
would look upon them. At New
Zealand he met a gentleman from
England who knew the Thatchers oil

We hope upon his return that
Charlie may become speedily vel
