travel Is of second and third class. The rate
of speed is uniformly about twenty miles an
hour. The trains are run on what is known
as the staff" system, and a train Ia not

We learn, from the Red Wing Adj
yance-Sun, of the death of Mrs, L
Sprague, former resident Of aoHris
This estimable lady was very prom,
inent worker in church and w. G. t.
U. circles during her residence in this
city, and had many firm friends here,
who will sincerely regret her demise,
The Advance-Suu says: After sever
al years of i'll health, eliminating in
a painful prostration of five weeks
duration, Mrs. Hannah f. Sprague,
so we'll known in this city, fell asleep
in Jesus at 4:25 p. m. Friday.
Born at Bethel, Me-, in 1910, Mrs.
Sprague became the wife of Lieut..
d. l. Black and settled at Norway,
Me-, whence, after the death of her
husband and their only daughter, she
came west, and in 1892, at the resi-
denoe Of j. B. Locke, her brother,
Zumbrota, Mimi, she was married to
Mr., Sprague. A protesting Chris
ton from early life, Mrs, Sprague
became a member of the Presbyterian
church of Red Wing, where, such has
been her life in word and deed that,
we need not speak her praises. She
was widely known and universally be-
loved. Her faith never shown bright
er than in the last hours, and she has
found, through death, that rest of
which she spoke with longing, re
peating the lines,
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep"
Mr. Sprague, alone, will accompany
the remains of his beloved wife to
Paris, Me-, where they will be inferred
beside her former husband and little
daughter.
