DIED

At the home Of his parents. Marshall o.
and Mary Miller, Friday, November 18th,
1895, Willie Wharton Miller, aged II
years. months and 81 days.
Willie was born at AurelIa, Augult 81
1852, and was Mr.. and Mrs. Miller's only
child. Until about four years agohe had
enjoyed perfect health. but was then at
tackled with heart trouble, and the
best medical talent gave lis parents but
little encouragement that he would ever
grow to manhood. The fond parents
watched him with ever increasing jealous
care and as each year went by their hopes
became brighter. He had seemed better
this fall than usual. He was taking a
deep interest in school work, and his sun
nv deposition was continually bnbbllng
orer. What wonder that father, mother,
and dotiug grand father should have high
hopes of their darling's future. But the
angels came suddenly and called for
another Of these "prcclous jewels" whom
cir Savior 50 tenderly loYes. He was
playing about the room between eight
aud nine o'clock Friday evening; bis
mother asked him to run up stairs and
open the register in the bed rooms. He
sprang quickly away to do her bidding,
ARging back some happy wOrd'. They
heard him fall and running up to bis
room found him OH bis face. The strick-
en heart had suddenly ceased to beat and
WiliIes voice had gone to swell the angel
chorus.
The news brought hush of sadness in
every home. Willie Miller's sweet face
wa. known almost universally aud every
loving heart went ont toward the desc
late home and stricken parents lords,
mere words cannot tell of the anguish nor
picture the loss such a death means.
Those only who have cllsped thu little
hands as they slowly went down the
Dark Valley can know the aching void
In the hearts and home, the intense
yearning of the mother and father and
the lonesome hours of the grandfather
who was a boy again with Willie. They
can carry the one blessed thought
through their life of the bright face
which will be waiting to welcome th'm
at the pearly gates.
The funeral services we're held at the
homo Sunday afternoon. conducted by
the "a tor, ReY. j. NacAlister. A few
touching verses sung by loving hearts
and then the sotro wing friends accom-
panied the mourning hearts to the Gem
eterv, where the loved form was laid TO
rest with many other of our little ones
gone before. Between the hours OF two
aud three o'clock Sunday all who wished
were given an opportunity to see the
face Of Willie for the last time and
many avslled themselves Of the privilege.

be considered a briber aud punished

keys and carried to the jill. He
was locked IN cell while the mol
waited upon Professor Perduo.
When the foreman of the moi
called out for Perdue three loud
and despaiiing cries of "Mnrdel'
were heard. Professor Perdue was
taken from the Jail and dragged
about two miles through the woods
Some OF the mob went back to the
jail and released Sheriff McGre
gor, but forced him to 60 HON
and keep quiet, guarding the
house to see that he did nothing
to applehend the lynchers.
Saturday morning this sheriff
organised a searching party; Tue
victim of the mob was found in the
woods with CHASTITY stabs about
the head and his throat was Gu

A NATIONAL MISTAKE.

There is a general impression among
the officers oftOwnships, municipalities,
counties, states and the nation, that
the proper place to commence reform
is by cutting the labOrerS wages down.
and because they are so hard pressed
they keep cutting each others mite by
Icing compelled under the necessities
to work for less than they can support
their families. The farmer is the great
est sufferer on account of the low wag-
es, because the labOrer cannot afford to
buy all the produce he can use on ac-
count of his low wages. Any reform
that will be healthy must commence at
the wages of the laborer because he
cannot be expected to buy only in pro-
portion to his wages. If he only gets
wages sufficient 10 buy and pay for
merely bread enough for his family to
Subsist, there must be somebody paw
for their clothing. If he gets enough
SO that he can buy them the bread and
clothing then the county or any one
else will not have to buy anything for
them; but as it is at present the differ
ent officers above mentioned assist in
making them dependent by cutting
down the wages of the day laborer.

MORE ABOUT SEYD.

For those who discredit the story that
Ernest Seyd bought the U. s. congress
that demonetIzed silver in 1878, we
take this occasion to publish the exact
words of that distinguished gentleman.
Frederick a. Luckenbach, an Ameri-
can gentleman of large business con-
nections, who had been great deal in
London, and who, by means of letter
OF introduction from Robert NJ. Foust.
ex-treasurer of Philadelphia, had be-
come Intimately acquainted with the
celebrated banker and writer on coin
age-Ernest Seyd-not merely stated,
but declared under oath, that Mr.. Seyd,
though committing him to silence dur
ing that gentleman's lifetime, had
revealed the fact that he had used half
million dollars to demonetize silver
in the United States. The words of
Seyd were given by Mr.. Luckenbach
thus:
Il went to America in the winter of
ISI2-I3, authorized to secure, If could.
the passage of bill demonetizing sill
yer. IL was to the interest of those |
represented-the governors of the Bank
or England-to have IT done. [ took
with me el00.O00, sterling, with in
structions if that was not sufficient to
accomplish the object to draw for an
other elOO, 600, or as much more as was
necessary"
Mr.. l.. further deposes and says: s'He
told me, German bankers were also in.
terested in having it accomplished. He
said he was the financial advisor of the
bank. He said: Il saw the committee.
of the House and Senate, and paid tn,
money, and stayed in America until
knew the measure was safe.' l asked
If he would give me the names OF the
members to whom he paid the money
but this he declined to do. He said
Your people will not now comprehend
the far-reaching extent of that meas
ure-but they will in after years."
A son Of Seyd, the English banker
denied that his father was in Americs
in 1878, but noted men say he was
among whom is w. II. Allison. who
expressed himself as 'quite sure' thai
he met Ernest Seyd in Washington III
the year 1873. Here we have the word.
of Seyd himself, as well as the corrobo.
ration of men in all shades of public
and private life. What further evil
dence is needed to establish the fact
that the English Banker bought the
American Congress?

THE following is taken from an ad-
dress of y. Axline before the republi-
can convention of his county several
years ago when a candidate for the
legislature.
"When real estate is sold under mort
gage, the mortgagor or any interested
creditor should have the right to re-
deem It, any time within two wears
from the day of sale"
Such a law was passed by the legis-
lature of 1898 and the supreme court
has lately nullified it. The Cresset,
the editor of which is a son of A.
Axline, in its issue of last week says
that this law has ruined the credit of
the state. Father and son disagree;
both being republicans, we are at a
loss to know which Is right.
