Obituary.
MRS. SARAH c. NELSON.

Died on the morning of June the 5th. at her
late nome near Lancaster. Sarah c.. wife OF
days.
This amiable young woman. whose IN
timely death we are called upon to lament
was born in Hurricane, April 21st. 1861. She
was the Youngest daughter of Cumberland
and Cynthia Ann kilby. and sister of Mrs H.
G STANLEY Mrs. H. J. Belscamper and James
kilby. Her aged mother still survives and
was at the funeral.
At the age Of twenty. on the 2ist day Of Feb
ruary 1881. she united her life in marriage
with that of Chris. Nelson. Since that
happy union. three children have been given
Lnen; Two Of whom are girls:-Clara, tagged
lll Elsie tagged = and Noah (aged vearsl
father.
From such scenes of sorrow and separa-
ton we would feign turn aside and leave the
unavalling words of sympathy and regret
unspoken. 1t is but few years since we saw
Sarah IN her girlhood, radiant in the bloom
q health. joyous and happy in the anticipa-
t1ons of the future. A few years pass. and
again we see her in her happy, woodland
nome. The bridal vows of him to whose
charge she has committed the treasures of
her heart. were not in vain. She is sur-
rounded with all that the liberal heart and
generous ndnd OF devoted husband can
supply. Kind friends and neighbors add to
her domestic felicity and make life pleas
ure The bright faces of her winsome chill
dren NIL the house with its sunlight. and they
mlngle the1r-swee prattle with the music of
the birds and battle their little troubles in
the sunshine OF her love. But alas how lit
tie can we know or divine what tomorrow
may bring forth! The morrow came. and
the sweet spirit of Sarah Nelson relieved
from its frail tenement had gone 10 its
heavenly home. The dream of life ha fed
and that home so lately radiant with her
presence was darkened in the presence and
shadow of death.
The funeral services took place Thursday.

A TALK ON SICKNESS.

The Time TO be Wen is All the Time The
Time to Cure Yourself, If you are not
Well. is to do it without Delay Pro-
crastination Means More Suffering and
Greater Expense. Dr. Shops Plain Talk
on sickness and How to Cure IT,
II you are sick it is time to get
well at once.
But don't begin hastily.
Stop for moment and think.
The more sensible the method, the
simpler and the quicker the cure.
Dr. Shops rule is: First find the
cu,lse. and then cure it. That viii
cure the sickness.
is this not reasonable?
Now, Indigestion and all stomach
trouble. biliousness, and all liver
troubles, Bright's disease and all
kidney troubles, in fact all the dis
eases of the internal organs have,
every one Of them, one couse and one
origin.
If we can find this cause. we can
cure these sicknesses simply and
quickly.
But the cause has been found.
DR.. Shoop has contributed some
thing new to medical science.
He has proved that sickness of the
internal organs, the stomach. liver,
kidneys. etc, depend almost entirely
upon the nerves.
When nerves?
1t is the sympathetic nerves.
What are the sympathetic nerves?
They are a second set of nerves, that
the brain doesn't control. They con-
troll the stomach. liver, kidneys, etc.
They make the internal organs work.
SO it IS plain that when they get
sick so must also the internal organs.
If the internal organs are sick. it
must be out of sympathy with the
sympathetic nerves.
1t is evident, therefore, that if we
are sick, we should look at once to
our sympathetic nerves. A cure of
them viii cure the ecideisce OF their
sickness, will cure the sickness of any
of our internal organs.
This is the reason for the wonder
full success of DIR. Shops Restora
tive.
1t restores the sympathetic nerves.
1t cures and strengthens them, and
through them the internal organs
1t works wonders, and the explana-
ton is simple 1t strikes at the root
Of disease.
DR. Shops Restorative is a cure
for the cause Of all sickness of the in
ternal organs When the cause is /
gone, the sickness goes. With prop |
er care it need never come back.
Here is great achievement. To /
cure sickness by curing the cause; to
cure it permanently so it will stay

In speech by Senator Charles !

Henderson. of Nebraska, he says:
Ten acres of land in Nebraska,
Kansas, or Dakota devoted to the Gull
tivation of wheat, corn, or potatoes,
would lead to starvation rather than
life. But in Nebraska, from same
acreage, 900 tons OF beets were sold at
S405 per ton, amounting to 1901
The total expenditure was S2s7.20,
leaving net profit Of $61.30 per acre.
This is a peculiar crop. 1t cannot
be raised in a slovenly fashion. It
means work; it means intelligent,
painstaking labor. Il requires a
much higher order Of intelligence to
grow beets than 1t does for wheat or
corn Every acre planted in beets
means twenty days labor for one man.
II 2,009 000acres are needed TO supply
this country with sugar, it follows
that 10000, 900 days labor could thus
be given TO the laborers Of the United
States 1t would also mean the trans
poriation Of 26,O00.000 pounds freight
for the industry

We CLEAN from an exchange that
the farmeres Of Rock County are Civ
ing their attention to pigeon raising
to supply the city market with squads
II is said to be more profitable and
less troublesome than chicken raising
The young pigeons are in prime con-
dition when from - TO 20 days old
and bring from 81 80 to $500 per
dozen. Twenty-Five years ago wild
pigeons we're so plentiful as to form
an important source Of food supply
during the spring and fall. But all
sorts of means for capturing, trap
ping and killing were devised and the
specieshas as result, become well nigh
extinct. Perhaps the raising of do
nestle pigeons will reinstate the
toothsome pigeon-pie to its former
important place on the American Ia
BILE.

Iron Trade Improvement.

That the upward tendency of prices
has not been stopped is shown by the
numerous advances which have been
made during the past week. These
advances are in some instances of a
radical character, Ostensibly for the
purpose of checking business which
has been coming forward too rapidly.
1t will be strange, however, if still
greater business does not result. Buy
ers have now become accustomed to
an advancing market, as they have
seen higher prices easily sustained de-
spite their lack of faith in the early
stages of the business revival. Among
the most important advances of the
week were 81 per ton on Southern pig
iron. 81 on Eastern Pennsylvania
brands of pig iron, So on beams and
channels, So on Western bar iron, and
from SOC to 75c on Bessemer pig iron.
The scarcity of steel billets for early
shipment is greatly annoying large
class of consumers who have not been
in the habit of making contracts for
long delivery. They have been slow
to grasp the peculiarities of the situa-
ton and are suffering the conse-
quences. Quite a premium is offered
for early delivery. Consumers from
the central West have recently been
securing this market. but without sue
cess. Unless appearances are very de-
ceptive a scarcity of Bessemer pig iron
is developing, and it would by no
means be surprising to see an advance
on this material at an early day, COM
pared with which the previous ad-
vances will seem trifiing. A number
of important concerns are oversold on
manufactured iron and steel, and are
endeavoring to replace some of theiI
contracts with other mills, but this
can only be done at a sharp advance
on the original contract price.
The business of the week has beer
large all over the country. Heavy
contracts nave again been placed il

Definition Of Homes.

A prize was offered recently by Lon
don Tit Bits for the best answer to the
question: What is home ?" Here are
few of the answers which were re
ceived:
The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is mother
A world of strife shut out, a world of
love shut in.
Home is the blossom of which heav
en- is the fruit.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of charity.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small ones great.
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, the mothers world.
The jewel casket, containing the
most precious of all jewels-domestic
happiness.
Where you are treated best and grum-
BILE the most.
Home is the central telegraph office
of human love, into which run innu-
merable wires of affection, many of
which, though extending thousands of
miles, are never disconnected from the
one great terminus.
The centre of our affections, around
which our hearts best wishes Irvine.

"BlOOd Is Thicker Than Water

A terrific battle took place. Tattnal,
though a noncombatant, performed
many acts Of galiantry in rescuing
British and French soldiers and sail

conduct in the whole affair. 1t is true
that he had violated neutrality in Civ
ing aid to the English while they were
at war with nation friendly to us, and
for this he was criticised. 1t was then
that he made his famous reply: 81 did
my duty. Blood is thicker than water.

Race Prejudice.

Why is it that northern journals are
eternally censuring the South for har-
boring what they term race preju-
dice?" Can they not see that this
"prejudice" exists in every part of the
country, as well as in the South?-
Indeed, it seems to us that in many
respects there is less prejudice against
the negro in the South than elsewhere.
Certain trades, which in the North are
monopolized by whites, are given up
almost exclusively to negroes in the
South; as for instance, BARRIERS. In
many northern cities. the BARRIERS,
fearing dangerous competition from
Southern negroes, have organized
unions for the sole purpose of prevent
ing negro BARRIERS from obtaining en-
ployment- Here it can almost be said
that the reverse is the case. Such is
the force of habit and custom that
many Southern men say they dislike
being shaved by white BARRIERS. Even
in the matter of political rights, the
negro is no better treated at the North
than in the South. In Providence,
Rhode Island, the other day, colored
wOman's application for position in
the public free schools was rejected.

Gently denied to negro lawyer, and
the only explanation offered was the
belief that it would be more wise for
the colored people to form separate
clubs. We have before mentioned the
feeling OF antipathy towards the negro
which was created in New York by the
effort to enforce>the Malby law, ensur-
ing to the negro equal accommodations
at all places of public entertainment.
The fact is that it is only necessary to
undertake to secure social and political
equality for the negro by legislation to
arouse race prejudice" which in
evitably results to the negroes disad-
vantage. On the other hand, if the
North had never attempted to coerc e
the action of the Southern people, af-
ter the abolition of slavery, both races
would have lived contentedly and with
