The following has been published
& Card understand it is rumored
around town that we were unable to OBJ
tain any satisfactory evidence of my
former husbands (Mr. Mark Jarrett 81
death and burial while in Council Bluff.
For the benefit of the public in general
and those more nearly interested will
say that there has never been any doubt
in the minds of his relatives and
friends, but that all the ciI
attending his sickness and death were
VIM. Estep, undertaken, and he showed
us his book containing the item of
burial case, digging grave, &C., with
proper dates, and fully receipted for
He sent man with us to Fairview
cemetery, who showed us a row of thir-
teen graves, all victims of smallpox,
who died that fall, 1888. Mr.. Jarrett s
body lies at the head Of the row, now
marked, being the first one who died.
We also saw DR.. Seybert, who was city
physician at the time of Mr.. Jarrett s
death, and he assured us that every
thing was done for him that could be
done and no mortal power could have
saved him.
MRS. LULA j. JARRETT CLAY.
We wish to add that, nevertheless,
Mr.. Jarrett made away with no prop
erty, and his watch was sent from the
hospital to his wife, and the testimony
Mrs. Clay gives in the aboye with ref
erence to his death, there are still per-
sons who, without a scintilla of proof
beyond their own fancies, still say that
Mr.. Jarrett simply disappeared and
went to Europe. We hope a decent
consideration for Mrs. Claws feelings,
who has assumed her undoubted right
to again become wife, will keep SEN
sible people from paying any attention
to these wild and vague fancies.
Mrs. Parker, of Asbury. who has
been greatly afflicted with rheumatism,
continues to grow worse. She is bear
ing her Job-like sufferings with true
christian fortitude.
Mr.. Frank Feamster is very sick at
his home in Muddy Creek valley.
One Of our leading Democratic
friends is very uneasy since he saw in
the public prints the following planks
to lie added to the Populist platform
Resolved, That we encourage, lst,
the propagation of honey bees crossed
with lightning bugs, that they may
work night and day; End, the crossing
of the genus hog with the centipede
that each hog may have hundred
hams and, 3rd, the grating of straw
berries, raspberries, &C., on the milk
weed, that we have both berries and
cream from the vine.
Our town council have appointed DR.
w. G. Beard, F. N. Mann and M. L.
Harwood a board of health. The i'm.
mediate cause Of this action was the
existence of scarlet fever in the family
of Mr.. Wit He'd, lex and the need OF
quarantining the house. We learn tina,
the fever is not of a very malignant
type and that there are no dangerous
| cases.
DR.. Kent Kesler, of North Anderson
who has been quite sick, is GONZALES
