destinations. With his great brilliancy
he has that exquisite show of Difference

them to verify or deny his words, that is
very taking. He is also n very good
listener, and he has an agreeable way of
speaking ones name and placing his hand
on ones knee that is an agreeable salve
to ones vanity. There is no acting in
the heartiness of his manner He is an

SECRETARY OF STATE.
MFR. Blaine's Short Season of Service in the
Cabinet of President Garfield.

General Garfield's selection OF Mr..
Blaine for the first position in his Cabinet
was not the outcome of his efforts in his
cause during the campaign. 1t was made
i'll recognition of his fitness for the post,
and as compliment to trus ted
friend.
Mr.. Blaines season of service in his
new office began with the inauguration
of the President, March 5, 1891, and was
completed when on December 9th of the
same year he resigned the portfolio OF
State. In this time it WAS impossible to
accomplish anything of Importance, but
the chief of his large minded plans was
near fruition when he relinQuished his
place in the Cabinet. Scarcely four
months passed before the Pres ident was
shot down. During the three months that
followed Mr.. Blaine was in con-
slant attendance upon his bedside,
and when he died the short time during
which ne continued in Office was OF little
value in carrying out his designs--the
friendly aid and countenance of him und"r

When Gov. Hayes was nominated on

feat with good grace.
Mr. Blaine entered the next convention,
held mt Chicago, June 2, 1880, with al
most exactly the same number of sup
porters that had striven for him in the
preceding contest. The fact is remar ka-
bic, and most remarkable to those who
are best acquainted with the usual work
ing of politics in this country. Four
years had been offered his opponents to
make combinations against him, four

JAMES G. b. AlNE

Tor Jnelr tutor was william Lyons,
brother of Lord Lyons, and uncle
of the then British Minister at
Washington. He seems to have been an

early age of thirteen, entered Washing

ready presented to the reader, - went to
Kentucky" That is Il simple record, and
conveys no intimution of the causes
which impclled the step; and it does not
become his biographer to be more wise.
He sought his fortune in what was then
known as the West; and the journey,
though brieier one in miles than that to
che region now known under that name,
may very well have occupied us much
time. for he went by boat. His fortune
was not found Mt the Western Military

Blue Lick Springs, Kentucky But as q
professor he won the general liking which

He left this institution in 1851 to take

In his work here it is evident that Mr..
Blaine was successful but his wife was
anxious that their home ,hould be made
IN her native State, and, guided perhaps
by his own ambition for larger field as
well as by II spirit OF complaisance to his
wife's wishes, he resigned his position in
the school and removed to Augusta,
where his home has since been. He found
himself, perhaps, without certain of ths

MCKITTRICK AT the home of her moth
er, Mrs, Catherine Lowe, in Rich Valley
township, this county, on Sunday morn
ing, September 17th, 1898, Mrs. Sarah Jane
Mckittrick, aged 81 years, months and
IL days, of apopleXy, after a brief illness.
Sarah Jane Lowe was married when
19 years of age to Robert McKittrick,
and was left a widow with one child
at the age of 21 years, her husband
having died while IN the service during
the war of the rebellion. Her son,
George R. McKittrick, survives her
and now resides IN the State of Min
nesota, who together with her mother,
sisters and other relatives and large
circle of friends both here and at her
former home mourn her demise. Ian
guage is inadequate to express the ir-
reparable loss her relatives and friends
feel at this time as her large and sym
pathetic heart and ever open hand in
time of trouble will be sadly missed by
all who knew her.
The funeral services were conducted
at her late home by Rev. G. w. Cru
ger Monday afternoon, attended by a
large assemblage of friends, and men,
bers of the Grand Army and Woman's
Relief Corps of Onida, who assisted in
the interment at the Onida cemetery.
Mrs, McKittrick, together with her
two sisters and mother came to Sully
county when the country was first
being settled and took lands in Rich
Valley, where they have since resided.
AS was stated in our last issue she was
taken sick while on the reservation
south Of Blunt gathering fruit on the
9Th, and never rallied from the stroke.
Her relatives have the sympathy of all
in their sad loss of so dear a member
of the family.

sink together, with the roof the sides also
buldged.
