MONROE.

DEATH OF MRS JEANETTE SHELTON.
 Died, in Monroe, June 2G, 1896, Mrs Jennette Shelton, aged 92. The subject of this brief notice was one of the oldest residents of Monroe. iShe was marie d in IS2O, and ere she arrived at middle age, was left widow with three children, position in which she had need of wom- ans noblest energy. Being possessed of good intellectual ability, sound practical sense and rare judgement, those years of toll amid hopes and fears, with her were but the background of @ beautiful pie ture of virtue and religion. As long as health and strength would permit, she was regular attendant at St Peters church, Monroe, of which she was member, and to the last she found great comfort in her Bible and prayer book. Her constant giving to the poor was the fitting expression of a heart filled with sympathy for humanity. We feel to re- ioicc that our aged friends last sickness was not a heightened night of pain and suffering. The work of breaking the sil- yer cord was speedily done, The even tide was well with her, as the day bad been well spent. As we behold that look of resignatou,wc cannot wish thee back. 'Uow gently slumbcr rests upon thy face. Sleep on--thc day has been long with thee, thou must be weary. '-

TERRIBLEERUPTIoNs CURED.

"When our little girl was three months old, she was afflicted with terrible erup- tions on her face which caused her to scratch herself until she was spattered with blood. She was treated by numer- ous physicians, but did not get better, and finally we concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. After she had taken few bottles of this medicine, she began to get better, and we continued it's use until now she is completely cured, and no scars remain on her face. Her skin is as smooth and white and soft as that of any child ever saw. l have also taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for headaches and that tired feeling, and believe 1t to be the best medicine in the world. ."-L Mrs Will bur Wells, Warren, Ct.

Plenty of Them.

There appears to be no end to the
stories of absent-minded people. One of
the latest relates to a benevolent old
gentleman who lives in suburb of Bos-
ton. He was seen by one of his neigh
bors, shortly. before Christmas, seated
in the train bound for home, his arms
filled with parcels. In response to a
friendly greeting he turned perplexed
face upon his fellow townsman, as he
made room for him to sit down. "How
do you do?'' he said, absently. I'm
glad to see you, but you'll excuse me IT
l seem a little distraught, for I'm sure
I've forgotten one parcel | was to get
before coming to the train, and yet l
can't remember what it is. | didn't eX-
pect to go home till the next train, but
/ can't remember what the other errand
was, and / seemed to have finished all
| had to do, so here | am" He counted
and recounted his bundles, until just as
the preparatory bell rang, and then he
sank back in his seat with a sigh. Il
shall have to give it up he murmured.
Probably it wasn't of much conse-
quence," said his neighborr, in com
forting tone. ''Tell me, how is your
gentleman, rising hastily, while his
bundles rolled under the seat and out
into the aisle as he clambered over his
companions feet. ''She's the parcel
I forgot! I was to meet her! Will you
kindly leave my parcels with the station
master?" And just as the train began
to move the old gentleman sprang
hastily from the back platform of the
car and hurried off to get his forgotten
parcel" leaving a car full OF people
cOnyulsed with merriment.

Compressed Air as Power.

In several of the departments of the
Pullman Palace Car company's works
compressed air as a power has now for
some time displaced steam, and the re-
suits are said to have SO far satisfied the
officials that, in all probability. the new
force will be used in all the great shops
of the corporation-a radical change, in
deed. marking revolution in the manu-
featuring system of the immense plant.
The consideration influencing SO vast a
change as that involved in the substitu-
ton of compressed air for steam was. in
short, the marked saving in manual la
bor the general economy. ability to
transmit power long distances without
loss of force. simplicity, safety and con
venience. 1t appears that an official Of
this establishment was sent to Omaha
and Topeka to go on an examining tour
of the Union Pacific and Santa Fe rail
roads, with view to making a report on
the general efficiency and advantages of
compressed air as there applied in the
department of car msking-his report
unhesitatingly favoring the adoption of
the system. An important point made in
behalf of this plan is that by It's means
the speed of the machinery in use may
be graded, something impracticable when
a belt is employed.
