tbs. at the age of years, ii months and IL

Lewis was the youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.

best, for the Lord doeth all things well.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Savior now receive him
To thy bosom mild;
For with Thee we leave him,
Blessed, blessed child.
The funeral was on Sunday afternoon at
o'clock, Rev. f. p. Shaffer officiating, and the
remains were laid at rest in the city cemetery.
Those from abroad attending the funeral
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Madison, of

and Mrs. Florell Potter, of Hesper Twp.
We join with the friends in rendering our

More About Schlatter.

Francis Schlatter, the alleged New
Mexican messiah who disappeared
from Denver last week, is expected in
Chicago the last of this month.
Testimony in support of his wonder
full cures continues to accumulate. Wo-
men have been cured of nervous pros.
tration by the touch of his hand, and
hundreds of cripples who sought his
ministration are now able to walk
From the thousands of people who
visited him at his little cabin he re.
fused TO accept cent. Hon. Joseph
Manley, the well known politician, in
New York interview, says of Schlat
ter:
" drove to his home just out of Den
yer. 1t is worth 5000, perhaps. / saw
5000 persons in line waiting fol
Schlatter's daily appearance. | did
not need to be blessed or cured, but
my New England instinct was very
much strained when / saw this man
poorer than Job ever dared to be, re-
ceive all this people, help them and
not take cent for 1t. Five thousand
dollars was offered him to go to St
Louis, but he refused it, saying thai
he was not after money. Was not
that remarkable? They would think
him crazy down our way. Perhaps
he is"
When he disappeared from Denver
he left note stating that his mission
there was ended. Since his departure
10000 letters have reached the Denver
postoffice for him, but they remain un'
claimed.
1t is generally believed that he pos
sesses some mysterious healing power
and his refusal to accept any reward
when he could easily make himself @
rich man in few months, mystifies
everybody. AT the present time he is
the biggest sensation in the west.-At
