Elizabeth ]. Bland. Deceased.

DIED:-At q. M, Thursday, June II,
1893, at her home in Great Bend,
MRS. ELIZABETH ]. BLAND, aged 6z
years and IL days.
Deceased was the wife of Jacob A.
Bland, one of the oldest settlers in
Barton county, and was beloved by all
who knew her for her warm heart, her
kindly disposition and multiplied
womanly virtues.
Elizabeth j. Peed was born May 81,
1881, in Mason county Kentucky, and
removed with her parents to Henry
county, Indiana, while quite young.
She was married to Jacob A. Bland in
Henry county, Ind, Dec. q, 1S49, and
unto them were born i've children, two
of whom died in infancy. The three
surviving children were ali present at
the death bed of the mother. They are
Mrs. Ora Hayes, Mrs. Carrie Brinson,
and Effie, who makes her home with
her father. One brother and two sis
tiers, and one half brother and two
half sisters survive her, all of whom
are living SO far away they could not
attend the last hours of the departed
one. Boyd Evers of west of town is a
son of her second sister.
In 1874 Mrs. Bland located with her
husband and three children in Barton
county, few miles west of Great
Bend, coming from Lucas county, Iowa,
to which place they had previously re-
moved from Indiana, and they have
made their home here for the last
nineteen years.
To many of our people she was
"Aunt LizZie;;" kind and hospitable to
a fault, she was a motherly woman,
beloved by all. In her early youth she
was member of the Christian church,
but later became a member Of the
Universalist church; she died in the
faith of a redeemiDg Christ, and her
mind was at ease as to the future.
For the past four months or more
she has been a sufferer with drOpsy,
and though all the medical skill that
could be found was SummOnSed she
found no relief and gradually lost
strength until frail flesh and blood
could no longer do battle with the re-
sistless Toe of life. During her last
four or five hours of life she was I'M
conscious of all earthly surroundings
or sufferings.
Funeral services were held at the
family residence at p. M, June 23d,
conducted by Rev. E. M. Armstrong,
of the Baptist church, and the remains
followed to the cemetery by large
number OF sorrowing friends and
relatives.

This Applies at Home.

The present financial furry is some
thing like an alarm of fire in a crowded
hall, where more people are hurt by
getting scared than are ever injured by
the fire. For our part we fail to see
any earthly reason for the depositors
of county banks getting scared because
there has been few failures among
the eastern banks. The conditions are
entirely different. All banks loan the
money of the depositors. No sane
man expects them to do anything else.
The only thing for the depositors inter-
ested in the safety of his deposits to
consider is what class of borrowers the
money is loaned to.
In the eastern cities banks loan
money principally to manufacturing en-
terpriseS, to merchants, building con-
tractors, projectors of street railways,
gas and electric light plants, to stock
and produce dealers and spectators
generally. and on the personal security
OF men who are themselves engaged in
speculative enterprises; while the banks
In the country towns loan mainly to
the farmers and to the business men
who have abundant real estate to
secure the loan in case their mercantile
ventures prove Improbable. When a
grain Spectator, manufacturing or
transportation company fails, the banks
carrying them are the loosers, and if
they have loaned large amounts are
likely to find themselves seriously Grip
pied. But the country banks rarely
ever make a loan of this kind. The
country hank occasionally has to
renew his loan to the farmer when his
crop fails, but the real estate don't get
away, and the bank can force the col
lection if it has any doubts about the
ultimate ability of the farmer to pay.
/. In the country town nearly every
man knows the nature of the business
bis neighbor is engaged in, and the

general financial standing of every |

general financial standing of every
business man is pretty generally known
and the encumbrance of the real estate
of the borrower can be ascertained in
a very few minutes by an examination
of the records in the court house. But
in the city a man may be doing bust
ness up in the tens and hundreds of
thousands and his next door neighbor
may not have ghost of an idea of how
much of it is done on credit, or from
what source his money comes.-Sigour-

ONLY two states in the Union are
said to excel Kansas in her agricultural
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, those two
heing Illinois and Iowa. And yet,
there be certain republican editors who
lost the county printing through the
about Kansas being ruined.

AMUSING, is it not, to note how the
'standuppers" are leaving Kansas. Al
most all the old republican barnacles
who have recently been thrown out of
office have left the state, many of them
taking the money they have accumu-
lated through years of official holdings,
with them to some other state.

SAM JONES says: 1.-THE best proportion
for preacher is 95 per cent. man and
5 per cent. preacher. It makes me
laugh to hear them talk about the Dig
nifty of the pulpit. The more digRi6ed
man is the nearer he is dead. A
corpse is the most dignified thing ever
saw. 1t don't ever laugh and it's stiff.
In my mind a religious vagabond is a
man in the church who is not worth
killing. There is railroad in the south
that runs it's express trains at the rate
of sixteen miles an hour. That road
never killed man or cow; it never paid
any dividends either. The Pennsylva-
MIA railroad runs mile a minute and
kills lots of people. 1t killed eleven
men one day last week. 1t pays big
dividens. You never heard of a dog
barking at train On side track, but
when the express goes through every
cur in the settlement turns out. When
no one barks at a preacher you may be
pretty sure he is sidetracked.''

A REPEAL of the Sherman act and
free coinage of silver is democratic
doctrine. TO issue certificates on sill
yer bullion and redeem them in gold
originated with republicans and is of
the same character of fnanciering as
the passage of the credit strengthening
act, making principal and interest pay
able in gold, when we had more credit
than we knew what to do with, the
decentralization of silver and all the
other Sherman infamies. What this
country needs is to get down to a sound
democratic financial basis, tariff for
revenue and opposition to centraliZa-
tion and paterE Winfield Trib-
une.

WAY is it that many farmers pay
little attention to the class of stock
they raise? A farmer will give his
growing grain close attention to keep
soon cucumber the ground and sap the
life of the soil away from corn and
wheat. Why should he not give his
stock the same attention? A scrub
require as much time to care for and
live no longer than the higher grade of
animal. Why not, then, raise nc more
scrub stock; weed it out, and put in its
place the high grade animal that is ever
growing better and more valuable.

A WILD FRESHMAN.
He Fights a Policeman and De.
fies the Court.

Officer Wade Wilfong found a
drunken man in an alley near the
union depot Friday night who was
amusing himself cursing things in
general and making Rome howl in
particular. Wade could not under
stand the occasion for so much con-
sternation. He thought at first that
the Donneybrook Fair had opened
in Sedalia, but upon investigation
he found it to be one lone
lrishman trying to lnstigate a riot with
himself. Unlike the proverbial Chi
cago policeman, Wade did not APP
proach the solitary disturber and COM
mand him to disperse, but instead col
Jared him and started for the station
house. After a fierce contest the
''rioter' was locked up and he amused
himself and the other city charges the
rest of the night shouting imprecations
about thecolored officer. When brought
into court this morning, he had not
got over his madness yet, and was
ready for fight. He gave his name
as Pat Graney, but it should have
been Carney Pat. When the court
informed him that if he was not ready
for trial he must give bond for his ap-
pearance or go below. Pat sassed
back in a characteristic manner and
with rich brogue and told the Judge
that the did not care a damn what the
court did with him. As it made no
difference to Pat, the Judge fined
him s25 for contempt and the beleig-
erent Hibernian will wear a ball and
chain and pound rock tor the city for
twenty-five days.
A. G. Walters. a West Virginian,
was captured last night by Officer
Wharton as he was trying to get out

peared to be more unfortunate than
criminal and was granted stay of
execution on his fine to get out of
town.

FOR CONVENTION.

Mrs. Clayton's husband (she is now
a widow first voted for Martin Van
Buren, for president. and confined to
vote the democratic ticket up to his
death. some few years ago. At the
time he voted the foregoing ticket, he
being in Quincy, ILL.,, there was. as
you will see from the ticket, only nine
presidential electors IN the now great
state of Illinois. Last year they gave
Cleveland twenty-four votes in the
electoral college.
Quincy, which is now a city of con-
siderable importance, was then quite .
village, with no railroads and no met
ropolitan airs, such as are assumed at
the present time. The G. B. & @.
was completed and trains was running
about three years later.
Mrs. Clayton also possesses a copy Of
the Quincy Herald Of the 9th of March,
1857. giving a full account Of the in
auguration of President Buchanan,
edited and published by William A.
Richards.
Those old papers are quite interest.
ing to investigators Of bygone history,
and the BAzoo regrets that, owing to
the numerous advertisements and
news matter in this issue, it is unable
togive the contents of the Herald more
in detail.
