A Sad Death.

The old adage that "death loves a
shining marx" has been forcibly I'M
pressed upon the minds OF the people
in this community by the death OF
one of our most esteemed young
ladies. On March the Oath, Miss Ida
Houck passed from this world to the
unknown. She died at the home OF
her brother-in-law, DIR. j. l.. Shuler,
with whom she has made her home
for quite q number of years. While
visiting relatives in Orangeburg, her
native county, she was exposed to
measles and returned home before
her visit was ended. She was home
but short while when this conta-
eious disease showed itself. She
was taken very ill. and the measles,
along with some heart trouble, soon
proved fatal. Her vacant place IN
the family circle can never be filed.
She was young lady Of untiring en-
ergy and perseverance, active IN
domestic affairs in which she took a
great delight. She spared no pains
to beautify and make home attrac.
tive. Much of her time she devoted
to training the minds OF the children
around the home freside. The deep
interest she manifested in them and
the instruction they received from
her so willingly, they will ever hold
in grateful appreciation.
The deceased was given to God in
infancy by the sacred ute of baptism:
At an early age she united herself
with the Lutheran church and faith
fully lived up to the VOWS OF con-
firmation. From the evidence she
gave her pastor short while before
her death, we have the blessed as
surance that she has joined her
sainted mother, who preceded her to
the spirit land only few years ago,
and who stands with beautiful beck.
oning hands to welcome her loved
to that home prepared fol- the people
of God.
In her death St. Michaers church
has lost true Christian member;
the Sunday school faithful scholar;
and the Woman's Missionary society
a jealous worker. At the time OF her
death she was treasurer OF the
society, which has sustained a great
loss. As individuals they utter from
their sad hearts these words:
Dearest sister, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But It's God who hath 5treit us;
He can all our sorrows heal"
Death is at all times sad, but when
one in the prime of life is taken from
us it is peculiarly sad.
Truly DO the ways of Providence
seem mysterious to US, but we know
that God deals unerringly with his
creatures. He calls them one by
one from this transitory life to that
home where no trouble enters, and
the weary are at rest.
The funeral services OF our de-
parted friend were held at st.
Michaels church on Thursday morn
ing. Her pastor, Rev. ". A. Deaton,
preached very appropriate sermon
to a large number of sorrowing
friends who assembled to pay the
last tribute ofrespect to the deceased.
The large congregation present on
this sad occasion gave evidence of
the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held. Her remains were
laid to rest in the family square by
the side of her parents where she
will rest until that day for which all
other days were made.

A Eetorman's Life.
Full of Hardships, Exposure and
Constant Danger.

The Great Strain on Mans Nerves
Sufficient in Itself to Wreck Him
in Short Time. The Experience
of Well Known Motorman.
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life of motorman is not
bed of roses. He is subjected to
many hardships especially in the win
ter when he is exposed to the cold
and snow. Even in the summer he
must bear the intense heat which
beats down upon him. Considerable
nerve and self possession is necessary
in good motorman, for the lives and
limbs of his passengers are at stake.
One of the best known electric motor
men in this city is William Frazer,
who is at present running 8 car on
the Cumminsville electric line. He
is not only well known to his fellow
employees but to the people who travel
ON his car. Mr.. Frazer is a young
man about twenty six years OF age
and resides with his vile and child
at IA Belts Street, Cincinnati, 0.
About a year ago Mr.. Frazer was
taken with serious stomach troubles.
BE bought several kinds Of medicine
which were recommended to him,
but none of them seemed to give him
even temporary benefit. An en-
thusiastic admirer of that famous
remedy known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People told him to try
them. Frazer was almost discour-
aged, but took the advice. To re
porter of the Enquirer he said:
II can most heartily recommend
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They are
all that is claimed for them, IN fact
they advertise themselves better than
ary medicine I ever saw. l was
seized some time ago with a bad at
tack of indigestion. My stomach
hurt me nearly all the time and l
could not digest my food. The pain
was almost unbearable and [ found
nothing that would give me relief.
I confess that when, l bought the
first box of Pink Pills I hadn't much
confidence in their efficacy because
had tried so many things without
success that was almost discour-
aged. Before had taken one box l
was decidedly better. Two boxes
cured me entirely. While 1 have
been under the weather from other
causes my indigestion has never re-
turned. If it ever should | know
lust what to do. I have so much
confdsnce-in the efficacy Of Pink Pills
that if I ever get real sick again with |
any disorder shall use some of them.
It is pleasure for me I assure you
to testify to the excellent qualities OF
these Pink Pills. They not only tone
the stomach but regulate the bowels
and act as a mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means
something. He speaks from per-
sonal experience and any one who
doubts that he received the benefits
stated can easily verify the assertion
by calling on MIR. Frazer or seeing
him some time while he is on his car.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain |
all the elements necessary TO give
new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They
are sold in boxes (never in loose form
by the dozen or hundred) at 50 cents
3 box or six boxes for $3.50, and

AS | beheld a procession Of twenty
or thirty men en- route for the saloon,
after voting for and sustaining it, this
day in Lebanon, / write:
"Wherefore hear ye the word Of the
Lord, ye scornful men that rule this
people which is in this city.
Because ye have said, I'VE have
made covenant with Death, and with
Hell are we at agreement; when the
overfowing scourge shall pass through,
it shall not come unto us; for we have
made lies our refuge, and under false
hood have we hid ourselves I" A pro-
vision ismade. "Therefore thus sayeth
the Lord God: Behold | lay in
Zion for foundation, a stone, tried
stone, precious corner stone, a sure
foundation. He that believeth shall
not make haste. Judgement also will
| lay to the line, and Righteousness
to the plummet: and the hail shall
sweep away the refuge Of lies, and the
waters shall overflow the hiding place,
and your covenant with Death shall
be dlsannulled, and your agreement
with Hell shall not stand, when the
overfowing scourge shall pass through
then ye shall be trodden down by it;
from the time that it goeth forth ii
shall take you; for morning by morn
Ing it shall pass over, by day and by
night. For the bed (refuge) is shorter
than that man can stretch himself
on it, and the covering Safety mar
rover than that he can wrap himself
in it. For the Lord shall r Sc up as
In Mount Perazim, He shall be wroth
as in the Valley of Gideon, that He
may do His work, His strange work,
and bring to pass His act, His strange
act Now therefore be We not mock
ers lest your bands be made strong, for
/ have heard from the Lord God Of
Hosts, consumption even determined
upon the whole earth.i This was the
judgment threatened upon the city of
Ephraim, for her pride and drunken
ness.
So beware to-day and repent, for the
hand of the Lord is not shortened that
be may not punish the wicked for
their oppression, even in this city of
Lebanon. Read Isaiah 2Sth.

Member of the De Moss Family Deat

NASADSA VI hiS Nv Wooo L dHllly OCau.
The friends of the De Moss family
through America and Europe will be
grleved to learn of the untimely death
of Minnie De Moss-Cochran, at
Wheatland, CAL, December /. She
was born in the state of Washington,
December s. 1869. She was the
second daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
James De Moss, early Baptist mission
aries to this part of the country. The
family has always claimed Oregon as
their home, beginning their career as
sacred singers in Oregon, in a log
school house, 25 years ago. Minnie
was called by the family their sweet
singer, having contralto voice of
great compass and power, yet of rare
sweetness. She had sung with the
family in all their tours throughout
the United States, Canada and
Europe, for the past quarter of a
century, having made her first public
appearance at the age oftwo years.
Her death seemed the more peculiar.
ly sad in that SHE was bride of but
three months, having been welded to
Martin Cochran on September 10, 1896.
They had been engaged four years.
While on recent visit to her moth
er's grave, Mrs. Cochran was very
badly poisoned with poison oak, and
this no doubt was the primary cause
Of her death.
This event breaks up the quartette
and ends, perhaps, the public work of
the De Moss family.
