FUNERAL OF oKANoGAN SMITH.


MS ncmhius Lalu TO Reef-N otnCtde ucea
In His Life and Death.
The remains of Hiram f. Smith, the
pioneer of Okanogan county, better known
as "0kanogan" Smith, were carried to
their last resting place at Lake View GEN.
etery yesterday at / y. m. The services
were held at Bonney & Stewards chapel,
and were very simple. Many friends of
both Mr.. Smith and his wife were present,
surrounding tue casket covered with plain
black broadcloth and heaped with white
roses. The floral designs were simple and
transformations. Nearly all of the state
senators who were in the senate with Mr..
Smith were present, as were also large
number OF the representatives.
At the chapel the services were brief,
Rev. John y. Damon, the officiating
Clergyman, reading from the Scriptures
passages appropriate to the occasion and
delivering short funeral sermon in which
he commented upon Mr.. Smiths early
training and opportunities. or rather lack
OF opportunities, in influencing his future
life. There was one peculiar thing, Mr..
Damon said. and that was that the
year which saw the Golden state
OF California admitted into the
Union also was the year in
which Mr.. Smith entered upon his
2ist year and became one Of her voting
citizens. Then the minister went on TO
say that Mr.. Smith had grown in wealth
and influence like the state of California
had grown. but that on the very night
that the generation OF Caiifornians which
had been born and had grown to maturity
since the year OF their native states admis-
sion were celebrating the forty-third an
niyersary of that event the soul of Hiram
r. Smith took its flight from this earth.
Ii seemed 10 the speaker coincidence OF
strange significance that Just as he was
making the prayer st the banquet il should
be taken from his lips direct to God by the
soul OF the old pioneer. The puh-
lie services of the deceased as a
legislator and representative Of the
people of okanogan county were spoken
of with praise, and then Mr.. Damon
closed by showing that his whole career
was an example of what honest, steaafast
adherence 20 the right.
At the grave the services were brief. and
the remains were then lowered to their
last resting place in one of the most bean
tifui spots in the cemetery. the lot being
very near the one in which the body of the
late Henry l.. Yesler was buried. Seven
carriages filled with the friends OF the old
pioneer. many of them hoary With age as
he was, followed the casket 70 the grave.

A SURPRISED Erenchman.

M. Francisque Sarcey passes for a
rather severe critic, but he has a soft
spot in him. He has been completely
captivated by the charms of the English
ladies he sees at the French plays at Dru-
ry Lane. The sight of "Miss Anglaise''
weeping over the death of Mile. Bartet,
slain, TO the accompaniment of most cor
rect Alexandrines by the memorable NJ.
Mounet-Sully, touches him deeply. Eng
lish ladies, he thinks, must be very ten
der hearted, and many of them, he is in
a position to affirm, are very pretty and
very stylish. In France, he says, the
English woman is always represented as
being stiff and ungainly, with coarse
face and a staring dress. If this type
ever existed, he says, it must have disap-
peared, for not one is to DO seen nova
days. On the contrary, these English
women, he thinks, look very pleasing.
They are dressed with taste, and their
manners are exquisite. NJ. Sarcey may
rest assured that the conventional Eng
lish woman of French ideas never did re-
,semble the real article any more than he
himself resembles the conventional
Frenchman whom we are accustomed
still to see from time to time on the Eng
lish stage.-London News.

But, on the other hand, too great rig
or must be avoided. 1t is a sad thing
when domestic government becomes cold
military despotism. Trappers on the
prairie fight fire with fire, but you can
not successfully fight your child's bad
temper with your own bad temper. We
must not be too minute in our inspec-
ton. We cannot expect our children to
be perfect. We must not see every
thing. Since we have two or three faults
OF our own, we ought not to be too
rough when we discover that our chill
dren have as many. If tradition be
true, when we were children we were
not all little Samuels, and our parents
were not fearful lest they could not raise
us because of our premature goodness.
You cannot scold or pound your chill
dren into nobility of character. The
bloom of child's heart can never be

The Coventry Macbinist Co., makers
of the Swift bicycles, have been in the
business 33 years and have made up
wards of $4,000 bicycles. The COM
pany has had wide experience and
every purchaser of swift cycle
profits by it in getting a machine first
class in every respect.
Bicycling is not only pleasurable but
healthful. Taken in proper doses and
regularly it is not only a preventive
but a cure of "many ills that flesh is
heir to-" and withal pleasanter TO take
than doctors medicines. IL will not
set a broken leg but it will surely put
more corpuscles into the blood.
After a careful investigation of the
leading bicycles, l bought " Swift
for my own riding, and being convinced
with use that it is the equal Of any ma
chine made, | have consented TO take
the agency and am pleased TO offer
these wheels to intending purchasers.
Can make specially low prices on two
or three wheels slightly shopworn, but
as good as new. These are now at my
Office and are great bargains. IL is for
your interest not to buy without call
ing or writing for circulars.

VIOLA, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR AS it has been a year
or more since I have asked space in
your valuable paper for communica-
tion, would like to say few words
about Canetuck Alliance, No $40.
Notwithstanding we have passed
through a very severe political ordeal
we are still holding the fort" We
were divided to some extent at the
ballot box, and that caused us to lose
some of our members, but in the past
three weeks we have restored six and
initiated one, and I think we will soon
get more, for people in here are getting
their eyes open at last, and it looks as
if those who have not, havn't got any.
We met the third Saturday in June
and elected our officers, which are as
follows: President, G. w. Bonham
Vice President, J. w. MCGOWAN; Sec
rotary Treasurer, R. D. Pridgen; Lee
turer, A. B. Pridgen; Chaplain, w. Fl.
Applewhite Door keeper, T. W. Moore !;
Sergeant alarms, 7. B. Long; Business
Agent, s. A. Moore.
Everything went on harmonious. We
are few in number but strong in the
principles.
Crops in this section are looking
very promising so far, but are needing
rain very much. We are all very near

The merchants and business men of the

for relief, and had our representatives
needed the warning of the Alliance

welfare, our countrymen would not
have been the slaves of an English
monetary sy stem. Our public lands
would not be owned by aliens and
souless railroad syndicates. We hold
that a national sin is as great Or
greater than individual sins; as proof

of the lords, and poverty and misery

that charged these things were prompt

EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

If you propose to keep stock on your
farm, you must raise clover and grass
Any other plan will be not only un
profitable, but will be at loss.
Wheat and rice, two of the staple
crops for sustaining life, have reached
the lowest price known for years. Yet
a few smart Alecks are still advising
the farmers to raise more breadstuffs
and be happy.
The German army numbers five mil
lion men and costs the people $780,
100000 per annum. 1t is said that a
majority of the legislators in that
country are in favor Of increasing the
army. There are fools in the United
States who want large army main
tanned
An exchange says a bushel of wheat
may not be profitable to sell on the
market, but you may feed it to your
hens and sell eggs and make profit
by doing so. 1t is we'll enough to think
about that and study it we'll There
is more ways to kill a dog than by
choking him with butter"
The gold bug press are now making
use of the statement that bankers in
the silver States are holding more gold
IN their reserves than silver. They
ask, as if in deep concern, docs the
silver west distrust silver9" Of course
when silver is deprecated by law it
will be distrusted just as gold would be
distrusted if deprecated by law. Of
course every banker keeps his eye on
passing events and looks out for num-
Der one as it is his business to do.
The great crops of the country may
enumerated as follows Hay, cotton,
wheat, corn, tobacco, sugar, cattle,
hogs, horses and mules, rice. In the
several sections of our broad country
one or the other of these are made
specialties of by large number of
farmers. All have had their period of
depression in the past five years and
are having it now, says the Southern
Farm. Correct you are. That being
the case, how will diversity help very
much?
