Seeing that Death will come when it

note the removal of another soul out of
this life to the Home on high. MIR.
Henry Goodman, of Centralia, died at
his home on Cranberry St. Tuesday
morning Jan. 9th, 1894. A young man,
full of hope, energy and manly courage,
III the very prime of life, a model of
health, strength and vigor, is Obliged to
Weld, after a sickness of less than two
weeks duration, to Death, the
proprietor Of all.
Henry Goodman was born in Contra
liza, Dec. Goth, 1874, being 10 years aid
Is days Of age at the time of his death.
When a mere boy, his father died,
leaving the mother with large family
of children. With her, Henry has
always resided, attending school in his
earlier days and contributing to her
support in the later years. Last sum-
mer he was working in the mill at Port
Edwards and while there suffered the
Loss of four fingers on the left hand.
This winter he went to work for DAILY &
Sampson at Mill Creek. About five
weeks ago he contracted bad cold
which turned into la Grippe He
thought nothing of this and continued
working until one week ago last Satur.
day When be had to come home, was
taken to his bed with pneumonia,
complications of the heart set in, and
dread disease was conqueror. His

Cheap Sell-Out.

The Madison Democrat has the
following to say about the mileage grab
intCongress: ar
"a good many members of congress
will hear until they are tired of it, the
story of their extra mileage grab. A
few days before congress adjourned for
the holidays $4,000 in extra mileage
for the special session was voted almost
without protest. Probably not a single
member of either house ever paid a
cent of mileage;-it is nearly all dead
head business Of the railways. Under
these circumstances and when numer-
Gus schemes are being devised for
exlorting still more taxes out of the
oppressed and tumbling industries of
the country, to have broken into the
houses of the country and stolen the
amount of $4,000 would not have
been any worse than what has been
done. The job was not SO large as the
old and infamous salary grab, but it is
even worse on~,that account for it's
cheaper sell-out of manhood"

Cong'l Church Reunion.

A very interesting gathering took
place at the Congl church last Thurs
day evening it being the reunion of the
members and friends of the Church
resident in the Twin Cities. Centralia
was quite largely represented. Reports
were given by the Pastor, S. S. Supt.,
Treasurer, and from the two ladies
societies. The reports all showed pro-
gress and gave cause for much en-
couragement, in addition to the ordinary
expenses Of the church the sum of $500
was given to various missionary and
benevolent societies. The following
officers were elected:
Trustee for years-Mr. Seth Reeves.
Church Clerk-Mr. F. J. Wood.
Treas-Mrs. E. G. Ketchum.
S. S. Supt.--Mr. f. J. Wood,-He has
acted in this capacity for the past Is or
IA years.
1t was thought desirable in order that
the work of the church might be done
more efficiently that "Centraia
Branch of the First Congl Church of
Grand Rapids should be constituted. "
1t was so voted and Constitution
adopted. The officers will be elected
at some future time. The business
matters Of the Church ha wing been dis
posed of the company repaired to the
parlors where refreshments were served
aud happy "reminiscences of other days
were talked over and general good
time enjoyed

AGAINST FREE WOOL.
To the Wool Growers, Sheep Breeders
of the United States.

At a mass meeting of wool growers Of
the United States at Chicago, Sept %.
and at meeting of the National Wool
Growers Association at the same place
Oct. 5, 1893, was directed to call a
meeting of those interested at Washing
ton, D. c., to enable them to be heard
before the committee of finance of the
Senate of the United States in opposi-
ton to any reduction of the present
duties on wool or on WOODEN goods. l
appoint Tuesday, Feb. e, 1894, as the
time of such meeting at the Ebbitt
House, Washington, d. c. Among
those who will ask to be heard before
the committee are some of the officers
of the National Wool Growers Associa-
| ton, some of the State associations,
editors of wool journals aud other
committee heretofore announced. |
am advised there is fair prospect that
the Senate will not pass a bill to put
wool on The free list if the interests and
| WISHES Vi tlle peOple are piopeIiF pre-
scented OIL the subject. l respectfully
urge full attendance from all the
States and Territories. Free wool will
substantially destroy the wool industry.
Papers friendly to the objects of the
meeting will please publish this.

The farmers of Wood County who
own sheep and are interested in the
tariff question are requested to write or
call upon R. A. Havenor, Centralia, in
reference to signing the following
petition the Congress Of the Z.

We, the undersigned wool growers of
the q. S., irrespective of political party
affiliations, respectfully protest against
any reduction of the present duties on

Plural of a 1'aiIor'S Goose.

Boston Herald: What's the plural o.
tailor's goose? A learned authori Y
says the plural of goose, bird. is geese;
but the plural of goose, the tailor's
smoothing iron, is gooses. A merchant
who wished to order two of these irons
wrote: "Send me two tailor's geese"

daring to venture on the solution of the
problem, changed his order to read

An old tramp went into house on
Elizabeth street on the West Side the
other day and asked for something to
eat. The lady was a little religionsly
inclined. 80 she cut him off a large slice
of bread, and when she gave it to him
she said, CHOW my poor man, | give
you this for Gods sake" He took it,
turned 1t over in his hand and said,

some butter on it"-Ex.

In no country In the world do people pay
so much attention to their city and country
parks, as do the Australians. AS none OF
their large cities are ever visited by frost or
snow, they have great advantages over the
cities OF our northern states, or of northern
Europe.
Adelaide. the capital OF South Australia,
has a park with botanical gardens, which, for
beauty OF situation, arrangement of grounds
and variety of trees and plants, is unequaled
by any city in the world, unless it might be
by those Of Melbourne, Sydney and brisbane
In the same country. These Australian
parks are not simply ornamental, they arc
useful; the people use them, and | regret to
say, as they are free to all, their one objection
able feature is the fact that they are made tho
resort of "sun-downers, or tramps, and Of
other disreputablc characters.
One OF the largest Of these city parks, and it
promises In time to bo the most beautiful is
the Centennial Park, OF sydney, New South
Wales. This park was purchased and sur
yeyed four years ago, TO commemorate tho
one hundredth anniversary OF tho founding
oisydney, which, at the beginning, was penal
colony Of England. The municipality has
gone to great expense 10 adorn the park with
scores Of replicas OF famous statues, or tho
statues OF famous mon, from all parts OF the
world.
1t is very pleasant TO an American, driving
through this park. TO see, near tho entrance,
a hugh marble statue Of Abraham Lincoln,
which is II fac-simile OF the one in Union
Square, New York City. "A little further on
there is a heroic figure Of the martyred presl-
dent, Garfield, looking towards that OF Eng
lands grind old man, Gladstone, across the
why. There are also busts OF Longfellow.
Bryant and Sheridan, US we'll as life-slze
copies Of many Of the Rogers groups. such as
"The Wounded Scout" "rhe Advance Picket
Guard" and "The Last Cartridge"
But 1t is not only America that is honored
in this way. In driving through the centen-
NAL Park one sees Napoleon tho First, and
Bismarck, the Duke OF Wellington and George
Washington, General Hayeloek and King
John, OF Abyslsnia.
The Australians have not only fine parks
in their largo cities, but every town and vii
lage has its pleasure grounds and need
not add, the mce.track is TO be found In every
settlement All the colonies have also large
areas, like our own Yellowstone and Yose-
mite, set apart as National parks. The wis
dom Of this course will become evident as
the population increases and land becomes
more valuable. We Americans who think
ourselves leaders in the forefront OF ciyiliza-
ton, can learn many valuable lessons from
our cousins, the Australians.
