OBITUARY.

Again we are called upon to chronicle
another victim OF the fell destroyer
death. The subject OF this notice, George
A. Derrick, died in the City Hospital,
Minneapolis, Mimi, January IT, 1895,
oil typhoid pneumonia. Deceased was
born in Oakland County, Michigan, July
Ii, 1851. He came with his family to
Dakota and located in Sphinx County in
April, 1882; moved to Day County six
years ago whpre they have since resided
the last two years having been resi-
d tents OF Webster.
Mr.. Derrick was "A farmer, and, on ac-
count OF universities from a succession of
short crops, he determined to go To the
pineries this winter and increase his fl
n%ancies: but, owing to the light fall OF
snow, he returned to Minneapolis where
he had employment "a greater part OF the
time until his last illness. He leaves a
vile, three SONS and three daughters to
mourn his loss, 1t is Ii particularly sad
casp-a devoted husband, kind and indul-
gent father, to die among strangers in a
strange land, with no loving hand to
smooth the ,eyrred brow or cheer the
aching heart-onIy Il iOnd memory to
soothe the weary pilgrim through the
Valley of the Shadows-'till lies ftiul
fever over, he could rest contented that
twas so-the grim portals OF death were
past-the tired soul gone into sweet fields
OF rest and peace beyond.
Mr.. Derrick was one oil those quiet, en-
habits; never fretting, quietly perform
ing his duty, he was "a good man and use
full citizen. During his residence here, he
gained the confidence and respect OF all
by his upright, honorable dealing. Al
ways endeavoring to make his word
as good as his bond, he was all that be-
comes a man, and, although his name
may not be enrolled high on the scroll OF
fame among the heroes OF the age, he
stood equal, if not peer, TO many in his
honest, unseltish life and devotion to his
family, leaving a memory cherished in
the hearts OF wife, children and friends
a fitting benediction. And while his death
falls with crushing force upon the dear
ones left behind, they can rest assured
that his soul vent home to God who
gave it, to be with Him in that all perfect
and beautiful land where pain aad suffer
ing are unknown, there to await their
coming.
No tongue can form words to soothe
or abate the agOny-the hearts OF all go
out to the bereaved ones in earnest SYM
pathy-only time and the Great Healer
can soften the depths of their great sor-
row.

over Northern Pacific.
Nit wAuKEE, Oct. LIN the United
States circuit court Saturday morning,
Judge Jenkins appointed two receivers
for the Northern Pacific to succeed
Messrs Rouse. Oal1es and Payne. who
resigned to avoid an appearance before
Judge lIsniord, at Seattle, Wash, on
October ., to answer to the charges of
malfeasance filed against them in
that court by Brayton Ives, the presi-
dent of the road. The new receiv-
ers named by Judge Jenkins are Edwin
w. McHenry, of s.. Paul, who has for
years been chief engineer of the North
ern Pacific, and Frank G. Bigelow,
president of the First national bank of
Milwaukee. Judge Jenkins said he
would not appoint third receiver
for the road. but that he might do so
later if it should be found necessary
for the proper administration of the
trust.
The new receivers represent the
same line of policy that has been fol-
lowed by Cakes, Rouse and Payne.
Mr. Bigelow is one of Receiver
Pavne's bondsmen and is a cCstock-
holder with him in the First national
bank, the Milwaukee Street Railway
company and the Wisconsin Telephone
company.
Edwin W McHenry was appointed
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific
system under the Willard regime.
There is much discomfort among the
bondholders over the appointments.
