Died OF Heart Failure.
I'm the Windsor, Mo-, Review We

=
From the Windsor, Mo-, Review We
copy the following:
The community was shocked last Sat-
urday morning to hear of the sudden
death Of Mr.. 8. O. Murphy, an old and
respected citizen, who has lived in this
vicinity for more than a quarter Of .
century.
He has not lived on his farm in Spring.
field township for number Of years, but
had lately decided that he would like to
20 back aud spend the remainder Of his
days on the old place where he had
reared to manhood and womanhood his
large and interesting family.
Last Saturday, accompanied by his
sop.in.law, Dave johnson, he went to
the farm to complete the purchase of
the crops Of his tenant, VIM. Tucker,
whom he had bought out with the in.
tention OF moving on the place this fall.
Having finished the trade, and while
standing in the lot with Messrs. John.
son and Tucker, he was suddenly stricken
down with heart failure and expired
almost Immediately.
DR.. J. W. Gray was sent for, but
arrived too late to be of any service.
The funeral services took place at the
home of Dave johnson, Tuesday morn.
ing, conducted by the Rev. T. G. Hendrix,
and he was buried in the Laurel Oak
cemetery, under the auspices of the
Masonic fraternity, of which he had
been prominent member for the past
thirty FIVE years.
All his immediate relatives were pres.
ent except his daughter, Mrs. Russell
Durrell, and son living in Oklahoma.
A large procession of friends followed
his remains to the grave to pay the last
sad tribute of their esteem and respect
for him.
Mr.. s. G. Murphy was born in New
Market, Ohio, in 1882, and at the time
of his death was in his 65th year.
OF family of eleven children there
are but three left, sisters of the deceased,
who live in Hillsboro, Ohio, the others
having preceded him to the unknown
shore.
He moved to Missouri about 81
years ago and settled first in johnson
county, but later moved to this, Henry
county, where he has resided excepting
when visiting his children.
Of his immediate family, wife and
six children remain to mourn their loss,
four boys and two girls, Wilbur, Charles,
Byron and Edgar, Mrs. Dave johnson
and Mrs. Russell Durnell. But two
short weeks before, he had returned
from visit to his sisters in Ohio, when
the sad news was sent them of his death.
Mr.. Murphy was highly respected,
popular and well liked by all who knew
him, and no citizen stood higher in the
estimation of the community in which
he lived. He will be sadly missed by
all who knew him.

The Portsmouth Blade says:

A personal letter from j. P. Davis, q

Mr.. Davis probably doesn't know it,
but nothing better could happen to his
State or to Nebraska than to have the
free silver repudiationists repudiated in
decisive terms this fall.
This reminds us that R. s. Neal, of
this city, cousin of Larry, has son
who is a stockholder in western silver
mines. The boy writes to his father that

The Bible is prophetic book. In
Ecclesiastes, v:10 we find this:
He that loveth silver shall not be
satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth
abundance with increase.
We find it exemplifed in the action ol
the silver millionaires, who love silver
but are not satisfied with it in their
own contracts, exacting gold for them
selves, while they preach silver to the
people. Thus they plan to increase
their own abundance.

the So cents be compulsorily received ss

Measured by the purchasing power of
labor, gold was cheaper in 1892 than
ever before. All this bosh of 200 cent
dollar has no foundation in common
sense. We all want our dollars to buy
as much as they will. If the gold dollar
is now two hundred cent dollar, so is
silver. and 80 is paper, and its 200
cent dollar the workingman and the
farmer are getting. Is it too good for
them. Why should it be taken from
them and given only to the monied
man? Please explain.

He Relied Out of Jail.

Ted Dillon, a prisoner charged with
forgery, escaped from Jail at Barstow,
Cal, under difficulties. The two officers
who had him in charge left him in Jail
while they went to supper, but they took
the prccaution to lock Il pair of handouts
around billions ankles. They were SO
tight that Dillon complained of the pain.
The officers were gone but few minutes,
but when they returned they found the
door open and footprints in the dust, in
dicating that Dillon was taking long
jumps toward Doggett. The officers fol-
lowed the trail = miles and then lost it,
In the morning they discovered that Dillon
had doubled back toward Barstow. He
had found hut frequented by tramps,
and by means of a pair of fishplates had
cut the links holding the handouts to-
gether. From the hut Dillon had gone
directly to Barstow. and from there the
officers have no trace of him. Dillon q
trip from the Jail down the track and back
to the hut must have been at no small per-
sonal discomfort. The trail showed that
he had at times rolled for distance of 90
yards, this probably when the irons be.
came too painful to permit him to jump.
