Mrs. John S. Robbins Passes
Away.

No death has happened for years
that has cast such a gloom over the
community as that of Mrs. Robbins.
One can hardly realize it. A few days
ago she passed up and down our side
walks as she has done for years. She
goes off on q shortvisit to the cities as
usual, and then the tidings come that
she is sick, sick with the dreaded
disease pneumonia, and next, next,
she is gone to that borne whence no
traveller return. Mrs. Robbins was
about 80 years Of age, and in the very
prime of life. George Prescott. her
aged and invalid father, has been
staring at her home for sometime
past, and her assiduOus attention to
her parent in the recent past may
had something to do with wearing
down her system so as to make it
susceptible to the onslaught Of dis
ease.
She went to st. Paul about II days
ago and was taken there and died last
Saturday evening. She leaves hus-
band and one child, {, son % years of
age.
Mrs. Robbins came to Willnar
about 20 years ago, and was one of
the old settlers Of Willmar. Mrs.
Robbins was no ordinary woman.
She possessed in an extraordinary
degree all the womanly graces and
virtues with a strong mental individ-
uality and devoid of all pride or af-
fectatiOn.
"Passion and pride were to her
soul unknown,
Convinced that virtue only is our
own,
So unaffected, 50 composed a
mind:
So firm yet soft: 50 strong, yet so
reined.'
Her whole life was one interrupted
mission Of charity to the needy about
her. But il was done with such tact,
and so quietly, as to avoid the very
appearance of display. Her religion
was Of that sublime and noble charac-
ter that consist in visiting the widows
and fatherless in their Affections
and keeps itself unspotted from the
world. She was an active and influ-
ential member of Willmar Lodge of
Degree of Honor. She has held the
honored position of Past Chief of
Honor in the Lodge ever since it was
started. The lodge has lost one of
its pillars But we are sure that the
impressive lessons of virtue and
charity that she so affectingly deliver
ed t: its members will never be for
gotten, will blossom and bear fruit in
time to come. She is not dead. The
good influence of life we'll spent
never dies, but goes on and on it's er-
rand of blessing.
The funeral occurs today at St.
Paul where she will be consigned to
her eartly resting place along side Of
her mother. A large number of Will
mar people are down to the funeral,

important to a solution Of the later mys-
terry. II had developed that no one con-
nected with the company knew Benedict
personally. The agent who had obtained
his patronage and the physician who had
examined him had both died before the be-
ginning of the contest Bancroft had never
seen Benedict. and it was within the law
yer's knowledge that the detective had
endeavored to assist his Investigations by
securing a portrait OF the man whom he
sought
Yet if Bancroft or an assistant had
stolen the picture why was the detective
still lurking about the house? Mr.. Aller-
ton could not answer this question; and.
pending an answer. he resolved to see for
himself in what degree of safety Mrs.
Benedict dwelt Accordingly. he rang the
ianitors bell and obtained the guidance of
that individual TO the yard behind the
house He was obliged TO give a motive
for his request, and, therefore. he disclos-
ed the robbery but under pledge of Sc
crecy. Then he inquired whether the jan
itor had seen any suspicious character
hanging about the place.
The ianitor replied promptly that he had
seen a very suspicious character several
times recently. His description did not fit
Bancroft nor any one else whom the law
yer could think of.
HE looked like n tramp" said the jan
itor. II supposed that he was hanging
around the neighborhood and wanted to
