aw~~s zway at HE Home In Noko-
mis, ILL.,, Sunday Evening,
October II, 1895.

The deceased was born in
Northeast p pennsylvania, May 80,
1884, and died at his residence in
Nokomis, ILL.,, Oct. 13, 1895.
Aged, 81 years, a months and IA
days.
He came to Illinois when 10
years of age, and was engaged as
q teacher in F'reeport. He came
to Pana in 1857 where he engag-
ed in the hardware business.
While a resident of Pana the war
broke out and he enlisted in the
Third Illinois Cavalry. He
served two years and was honor
ably discharged for disability.
Mr.. Belnap came to Nokomis
in 1868 and established the first
telegraph office at this place. In
his death the town looses a man
who has been identified with it
from it's infancy, and at the time
of his death was the Oldest resi-
dent of the place, having resided
here continuously for 33 years.
During this third of a century,
he was the efficient and trusted
agent and operator for the Big
-Four railroad at this point. That
he was a man of strict business
integrity and one who gave close
and persisted attention to his
employees business is abundant
ly attested by his long period of
service with that great corpora
ton. In his business life was
shrewd and careful and by per-
suing this course had acquired
considerable property. He will
be greatly missed in business
circles in this city where he has
SO long resided and where he has
always been held in the highest
esteem.
Mr.. Belnap leaves a wife, two
sons and one daughter, besides
two sisters and one brother to
mourn his loss.
The funeral services conducted
by Rev. w. G. Lacy were held at
his late residence Tuesday after
noon at 3 o'clock and was largely
attended. Among the floral
decorations was a telegraph
key" from Hillsboro friends.-

He cast a side glance at the
pianist, and they commenced
again, and again hunked. He
looked daggers, and funked
again. Then he told the lady
there was only one beat in the
measure, and she replied that
she played it as written. He
broke again, and appealed to
every musician in the house to
bear him out in the assertion that
some pieces of music only had
one beat in the measure. By
this time every person in the
hall was amazed. They thought
the soloist was getting mad; his
friends remarked that he was no
gentleman, and they never
thought that of him; his brother,
who was postmaster, hung his
head in shame and rubbed his
hands nervously over his fore
head. When the silence became
oppressively awkward, and ev-
erybody felt like dropping
through the floor, the soloist
pulled a gallon measure from
under the piano and out of the
measure pulled a beet, remark
ing Didn't | tell you there was

A correspondent wants to know
all about Alaska, and says in his
letter II suppose the best placer
mines in America are there"
They may be. We don't know
that they are O not. But we do
know that they are farther away
than London, Paris or Egypt,
and the most wonderful things
are always o long way from
home. A region which is 5000
miles distant is just twice as rich
as one which is only 1900 miles
away. One 5000 miles away is
twice as rich and extraordinary
as one 5000 miles, and when you
go $4,000 miles you find gold in
mass and position with rivers of
rum, mountains of loaf sugar,
forests of mint, and the balmy
breezes of an eternal spring,
with fountains of youth on every
side. We have been in search of
the Jason land several times. We
have been from icebergs to
cocoanut trees; from mountain
lions to tigers, from burros to
elephants, and from common
every day speckled hens to bril-
liant birds of paradise, and never
found anything better than the
things around us now. We have
travelled over the tree-specked
hillsides on a hot summer day,
looking for the deepest and cool
est shade, which always seemed
to be only a little way ahead, and
when we got there and looked
back, 10, the deepest shade and
coolest spots were those we left
behind. The best things are all
around us. The best fellows,
the noblest women and the truest
friends are those we know, and
not in some imaginary world far
away. Distance lends enchant-
ment to the view, but distance is
a gay deceiver.

John Sherman has stirred up a
hornets nest in the Republican
party by his new book entitled
John Sherman's Recollections
of Forty Years in the House,

He gives away many state Sc
crets of the past, and being a

his shafts have already caused a

the book will cut a big figure in
the result of the next presiden-
tial campaign.

his party's, position on silver

poses we may regard gold as the
only true standard, the true
money of the world by which the

especially of all paper money, is

Justice Brown, of the United
States Supreme Court, made a
very wise observation when he
said IF wealth will not re-
spect the rules of common hon
esty Ia the use of its power, it
viii have no reason to expect
moderation or discression on the
part of those who resist it's en-
croachments." Every one must
see that corporate poweris grow
ing more arrogant each year.
The answer which the superin-
tendent of the Illinois coal mine
gave Mr.. Sovereign, LET them
starve and be damned;"the treat
ment of the Pullman employees;
the blacklistipg of railway men;
the Imprisonment of Debs; the
income tax decision; the extor-
ton and discrimination of rail-
way corporations; the exactions
of trusts, and numerous other
violations of the rules of com
mon honesty indicate that, while
these wealthy institutions de-
pend upon the law for support.
they are by their example teach
ing the people to have as little
respect for it as themselves.
When this feeling becomes gen.
eral where will the wealthy look
for support 7? Without respect
for law the law is powerless.
Honest men cannot be hired to
protect the property of tyrants
and extortioners, and thieves
and thugs will see no necessity
for it when they once discover
that they al appropriate the
property without meeting re-
sistance, Plutocracy is, fgura-
lively speaking, saving the limb
off between itself and the tree
which supports it.
