The sad news of the death of Miss
Ida Lands reached US last Wednesday
morning halt hour too late for publ
cation in last weeks issue-she died at
O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, the cause of her death being
quick consumption. She suffered the
agony OF the disease for almost thirteen
long weeks, patiently and without a
murmur until the final summons came.
During all the time of her sickness the
anxious and devoted parents and kind
relatives and friends did all that hui
man power could to relieve and COM
fort her but their efforts, together with
those of the physicians could avail no
cure and this precious and useful light
ceased to shine n the family circle.
But a few months before her death
Miss Ida was bright healthy young
lady and no one would have thought
that the end of her brilliant life was so
near at hand; but death excerpts no one
aud is something none can evade.
The funeral services took place las,
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock at the
residence of her grandfather, conduc-
ted by Rev. w. A. Cain of this city,
and the remains conveyed to the New
kirk cemetery, where the last sad rites
were performed.
Miss Lands was the oldest daughter
OF Senator and Mrs. Lands and the
second TO the oldest in the family. She
was Is years old at the time of death
and most of her life was spent in this
county. She resided in this city for
something over two years and left all
example with her associates and ac-
quaintances that many could follow
with pride. She was a young lady with
an enviaDle character and disposition
and her loving nature and winning
ways has attracted the friendship of all
she met; she was the flower of the
household, a.: honor to herself, source
of pride to her parents and kind and
noble parsonage to her brothers and sis
tiers. Her oldest brother, Irwin, is at
present in the U. S. Naval Academy at
Annapolis, Md, and when the sad news
reaches him, which it has by this time.
the shock will fall upon him heavily.
While he was in a measure prepared
for the result, it will not lessen The sad
ness of the affair.
The funeral was largely attended by
people from all parts of the county and
large concourse of sympathzing
friends followed the body to its final
resting place.
She was a DEVOTED and consistent
member of the Presbyterian church,
holding her membership in the church
of this city at the time of death.
If sympathy could replace the loss of
this dear one to her parents, she would
have long been replaced but when
death takes its course 10 one can recall
its victim. Miss Ida will continue to
live in the memory of all who knew her
and the world is better for her having
lived in it.

Married, at the office of the pro-
bate judge in this city by Rev. r. b.
Engle yesterday, Jacob Schmidt and
Miss Dina Steir, both of Hardtner. 1t
was the writer's privilege to be in at
tendance at the ceremony and witness
the ups and downs in the performance
of a marriage ceremony, especially
where the parties are of different ma
tiOnalities. The dilemma of the occa-
sion was soon suspended by summon
ing in Leon Beals and Gus. Schmidt as
interpreters (Gus. says that he is not
related to the groom although he has
the same name) and the knot was as
effectually tied as though the parties
had been of English blood. All par
ties were cool and self-possed during
the ceremony except Judge Funk who
in the middle of the performance dis
covered that the contracting parties
had not joined hands. In the heat of
his excitement and nervous temper
ament he then and there interrupted
the Darson by calling his attention to
the fact that the husband and wife to
be, had not clasped hands. Rev. Engle
quieted the fears of the Judge by in
forming him that that part of tue pro-
gram would come later on. In justice
to the Judge We will say that he acted
in good faith and only wanted to take
precautionary steps to see that the
marriage be legal. Anyone that con-
templates the matrimonial venture had
better do SO while Judge Funk is in
Office as he will see that you viii be SO
firmly tied TO your companion that all
the technicalities Of law cannot dis
sever.

The dwelling house of Henry Hinze
was set on fire last Thursday evening
by the explosion of a gasoline stove.
The alarm was spred in almost an in
slant and in a few minutes large con-
course of people surrounded the fire.
1t required some little time to get the
hose attached to the hydron and the
flames gained considerable Roadway
before water could be commanded.
However when it did come, the fire
was put out in few minutes. The
house is one of the finest in town and
the interior was greatly damaged, be-
sides Mr.. Hlnze lost all his clothing
which happened to be in the wardrobe
adjoining the room in which the fire
originated. The loss is estimated at
about $500. The building was in
sured.

"A word of caution to our anglers.

fish law says that you must not fish for

and the LIST Of August. OF course you
Will have this month and IA days in

We understand that there is GER
tain republican in the city that wants
to kick us out of town" because we
don't get down on our knees and wor-
ship the owners of the sugar mill.
Such procedure would be ideal repub-
licanism; when you can't meet the op-
position with argument, right, and rea-
son, pick up sledge hammer, a club,
or an ungalnly hoof and go after them.
Now if the aforesaid gentleman is real
ly hankering after such a gymnastic
performance, we suppose we have no
other alternative but to take our dose.
Since Christ was cruclfied by the Jews
for advocating good cause, we GER
tainly can endure kick from an ass
for following our SavIour's teachings.

Memorial Verses.

Afrlend and neighbor sends in tn,
following lines in memory of little Guy
Warren, lately deceased.
In was in spring. the trees were in bloom
When we laid him down to rest,
And his little hands were folded
Ger quiet, pulseless breast.
They have closed the blue eyes sadly,
Parted back the soft brown hair,
Pressed the last fond kiss in anguish
On that brow so young and fair.
Dsriing Guy, how we loved him.
Can. oh can we give him up?
We would ask for strength oh Father,
Strength to drink their bitter cup.
Thou hast called him, in thy mercy,
From q world of care and strife,
Ere his little feet grew weary
Treading in the paths of life.

Our section of the country was
inflicted with the most terrific dust
storm last Friday night we have ever
witnessed. Everything and everybody
was covered with good coat of dust
and sand and it seemed as though the
earth itself was about to migrate to
the skies. Numerous sheds and out
buildings were blown over but not
much damage was done. 1t was one
of those periods which we were all
glad to see pass by and which we hope
Eever will return.
