DEATH OF A MISSIONARY.
A Former Odessa Lady Dies in Far

A Former Odessa Lady Dies in Far
Away Africa.
Mrs. H. J.. Shape, of Odessa, received a
letter this week from her son William, who
is now at Vivi Congo, Africa, stating that
his wife had died of harmaturic fever on
April 9th, while on her way to America.
Rev. William Shape and his wife sailed
from New York May 10, 1892, as missiona-
ries to Africa. They arrived at their desti-
nation safely and had just gotten properly
into the work when he was stricken with
the African fever. His wife nursed him
through it. but just as he was convalescing
Mrs Shape was stricken with the dreadful
dise's After suffering long time In that
lonely country with no one but her devoted
husband to care for her, they decided that
she should return to America. Accordingly
she took passage from Vivi on the steam
ship Lulu Boiler on April 10th, and had
reached Accia on the west coast of Africa,
when she was stricken down with the fever
that is SO prevalent on this coast, and
which resulted in her early death far from
home and friends. Hers was a sad death
but how great is her reward. She left
family and fri,nls and went to this lonely
country knowing that perhaps she would
never return to her native land. Hers
was grand sacrifice but she hath reaped
her reward

Sermon to Young women.

Rev. F. H. Moore preached special
sermon to young women on Sunday even
ing, taking for his text that beautiful pas
sage in Psalm 144-12: "That our daughters
may be as corner stones, polished after the
similitude of a palace" His tributes to
womanhood, past and present were not
only chivalrous but reverential, and the
work that women has already done he
thinks is but a fore shadow of the possibil-
tiles that lie before her. Each year marks
the opening to her of some new avenue,
and while her record in business, art and
literature has been worthy of her, yet as
queen of the home she wields her most
potent scepter. The prevalent tendencies
of some of the younger ones Of the sex
were pointedly commented upon, and as the
different types were presented the voice of
conscience asked that oft repeated question,
'Is it II" The congregation was large and
attentive, and Mr.. Moore's efforts on behalf
of the young can but be felt in the COM
munity.

The Fool-Killer.

The Topeka Capital says: "a New

land in southwest Kansas and says it
ii not for sale at anything like pre-
vaillng prices, writes to the Buffalo
American Investments:

healthy "fool-killer." and have him
enter upon his duties and follow it up
until there is a large amount Of va
cant land left for men who are will

This New Jersey man is a shining
mark for both the "knave-klller" and
the ''fool-klller." He is holding H.

sity of "fool-killer" to follow up his
duties until there is q large amount
ofvacant land "left for men who are
willing to farm, and not be states
