noon, after a long ana lingering Ills
ness, patiently borne with Christian
resignation. Her funeral will be
held from the home this morning at
9 o'clock, Rev. B. r. Hall off oiating.
She leaves a husband and two chill
dren, with whom the deepest sym
pathy of this community rests IN the
great bereavement that has befallen
them.
The joint boards of County Flu
cation and County Commissioners IN
special session yesterday, elected Mr..
E. L. Atkinson, Of Fork township,
Superintendent Of Public Iustruc-
ton for the county, to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation Of
Mayor Broadhurst. The selection
of MI. Atkinson is a most excellent
one and gives universal satisfaction.
He is a young nan Of fine ability,
studious and cultured,a and will make
a worthy successor to Capt. Broad
hurst.
The ordinance committee of the
new Board of City Aldermen are at
work preparing a code of laws for
the city's government for the ensu-
ing year We hope that they will
keep an eye of constant w%atcnfui-
ness on the police to see that the
laws, when enacted, ARE enforced with
diligence. There are too many dead
laws on our statute book-or, rather,
there has for some time been too
much lethargy On the part of cur
cit. police. We write this nov not
fault-fndingly, but in a spirit of
suggestion-in the hope, that with
the beginning Of a new a~dminlstra-
ton the police, who are the same old
set, may "get a hump" on them, en-
force all laws given them in charge
catch some of the perpetrators Of the
oft recurring house-breaking III oul
community, and make things hustle
generally.
QUITE an unexpected discover,
has been made which is attracting
interest in this community. Oh
Mr.. George D. Benefits race course
that he is having constructed on hi
recently purchased tract of land a
the South end of the city, sulphur
water has been discovered, il dig.
ging Il well, that IS pronounced by
competent judges to be of the yerl
finest quality. The water is yer,
clear and cool, aud. 80 stroncl,,
impregnated with sulphur tina
the "droma" can be detected a
a considerable distance from tn
well: while It's effect upon the sgs
tenn is said to be like magic. Tn
well is visited daily by numerou
of our citizens, and lis reputation j
growing with such rapiditv, that j
may soon be sought from near an(
far for its heaith-giying and health
restoring propcries.
THOSE who worshiped at ST
Stephens Episcopal Church in TIL
city on Sunday morning, and tn
congregation was a large one, we1
RECALLED with rare spiritual food, bot
in song and sermon. The chEoir
composed of some Of the best voice
in the city, male aud female, an,
they render the beautiful churcl
music in its fullest volume. The dis
course Of the rector was on the man
ner of prayer and the efficacy thereof
The Duet, "Disconsolate," by Mrs
Geo. c. Royal and Mrs, Levy Elm
stein, was a revelation to all. Thei
two splendid yoices,t the n a sopran'
of marvellous compass, the other
contralto of limitless power, blende,
together with such faultless precision
as to make the two one, and the on
was as an inspiration drawing al
hearts nearer nearer to Him VIII

who are disconsolate.
WHILE driving Mr., Geo. D. Ben

reins broke, right at the bit, and t.
horse at once made a dash and wa

it seemed that driver and horse alik
