Joe Patchen won the match pacing
race with John r. Gentry at Chicago
last week, the best time being 2:O5h.
1t would appear that Patchen is a
better horse than either Robert }.
or Gentry, although both have a
faster record than he has, but he has
never been keyed up so highly as
the record breakers and consequent
ly can beat them in a race OF several
heats. These two great harness
racers will be at Sioux CITY Sept. u,
and an effort will also be made to Sc
cure them for the state fair at Sioux
Falls October 1st.

Henry Kile, of southeastern Miller
township, who lives neigbbor to the
Jeffries, says the latest word from
Mrs. Jeffries, at DEBORAH, Iowa,
is that her husband A. l.. is slowly
improving. His accident was a Pc
culiar and serious one, and is thus
told by the st. Lawrence Journal:
"He was at work with a force of
men painting the iron bridge at De-
corah, Iowa, on the B. C.. r. 4 \.
railroad. He was standing on a
pier of the bridge as n train came
along and as the baggageman was
handing him a basket of fruit and
he reaching for it, lost his footing
and fell, breaking both arms below
the elbow, his right hip, several ribs,
his jaw and nose. He is about 81
years old"

Francis Fay, infant son OF Percy
H. and Carrie Coquillette, departed
this life Aug. 22d 1895, aged two
months and twenty days. Funeral
services were held from the NJ. E.
church and the little one laid to rest

Where'er he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure fortaint and vice
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With Joy we welcome them the5ama-
Except their pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is Life-THERE ARE NO DEAD.

Sorry for the New Girls.

Some writer must have caught the
inspiration from boyhood to pen the
following, because about 90 boys
out of every 100 have reveled in the
possession of a pair OF pants arts
tically manufactured by his Ma out
OF his PAS old ones:
"When the women all wear blOOmel Is
and their skirts are laid away; when
their legs are no mere rumors, coy1y
hid from light of day, when their pet
ticoat's forgotten, with it's s~wishing

mand for cotton, I'll be sorry for the
girls. I'll be sorry for the lasses who
in school are at their books,-at head
or foot of classes-Ill be sorry for
their looks, tor their mas will make
their trousers, and good heaven!
don't we know, who boys, but
are not now, sirs, that they'll make
a holy show! 1t is bad enough when
Willie weareth pants his mamma
made, and it often knocks you silly
just to see the youthful blade, wear
ing pants that no man kuoweth
which is front or which is back--if he
cometh or he goeth there is quite an
equal "slack." But your Susie! OH!
tits calling, scalding tears will down.
ward glance, when you hear the ur-
chins calling, Say, where did you
get them pants?" You will see her
youthful, glowing, but by no dead
certain rule, can you tell if she is go
ing or is coming home from school.
Theren be trouble you'll allow, sirs,
there'l be anguish for your pas,
when the daughters all wear trousers,
that are Just revamped from mas.
So I'm weeping as I'm writing, and
my great tears fall like pearls, scarce

she discharged it.
She screamed, still holding the weapon in
her hand, and her husband, who was in
the room, ran tn her and took it from her,
thinking she was injured. Fortunately,
however, the bullet failed to do any dam

The police heard the shot and the scream
and SuppoSing someone was injured, rushed

that Mrs. Garland had been shot by her
husband. She suffered slightly from the

HEROIC DRUMMER BOY.

Lincoln Post, No. 3, Bestows Al Title
Upon Past Commander williams
The interest that has been so frequently
demonstrated OF late in the youngsters who
enlisted as drummer boys in the early days

Drummer Boy of Fredericksburg for all
time. The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, The public press for the past
few years, particularly that part OF il de
voted To the interests Of the veterans of the
war OF the rebellion, have raised the qucS
ton as to which of the drummer boys
of ous army and navy were young enough,
brave enough, and proficient enough TO be
deserving OF the title of drummer boy of
some hotly contested battle; and
whereas the title OF Drummer Boy
OF Chic Ckamauga' has been awarded TO
Johnny Glenn, Avery Brown is recognized
as the Drummer Boy of Shiloh William
Magee as the Hero Of Murfreesb0ro, and
the title of the Drummer Boy of the Rap
pahannock is being competed for by Com
rades Hendershott Spillane, Gardner and
others, we have in this department com
| rade who would be meriturious compet-
itor for the honors Of the latter field.
