Obituary of Mrs. John warburton

Mary A. Gibson was born in Man
chester, England, December 25, 1915,
and died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. w. j. Greenhalgh, in Usage
February IL, 1896.
In 1912, she was married to Rev.
John Warburton, a local preacher of
the Methodist church. In 1855, they
came to the United States and located
in Winneshiek County, Iowa. She
was the mother of seven children,
five of whom yet live.
The eighty years OF her life had
brought many and varied experiences;
the leaving of her native land for the
unfamiliar scenes of a new country;
the quiet farm life; then the shock of
war that called her husband to the
front, member OF the 9th Iowa Caval-
ry. and left her, with heart full of
anxiety, to care for the home and
its interests, were some of these
varied experiences. Then in May,
1867, her companion was called home.
But amid all she did her work with a
brave, cheerful heart, trusting in her
Heavenly Fathers guidance.
She was one of the most devout,
patient, cheerful, trustful Christians
it has ever been the writer's privilege
to meet. For years she had frequent
attacks of illness, often very severe,
but amid them she never lost that
cheerful, patient, happy nature.
Death had no terrors for her. She
would talk about it with the utmost
freedom. The ruler of death was her
Father whom she loved aud trusted
unfalteringly, and whom she thought
about much more than than she did
about death. Her old age was one of
the brightest and happiest of earth.
She had been member of the
Methodist Episcopal church at
Ridgeway, Iowa, for over forty years.
The remains were taken to Cresco,
Iowa, yesterday, for interment.

The McHurh Case.

Ten days ago John McHugh was
paralyzed from his feet to his hips and
was unable to move foot in bed or
out. The trouble commenced in the
lower extremities and was extending
upward slowly but surely, creeping
toward his vitals. All the local phys
icians had been consulted and the most
eminent counsel of physicians from the
great cities had been called in con-
sultation and they all concurred in the
statement that his case was without
remedy and hopeless. With their
unanimous decision thus given, Mr..
McHugh had given up to die. A few
weeks ago the writer received word
from DR.. M. c. Keith of Bellville,
Ohio, that he was up in Minnesota,
and knowing of some here desirous of
consulting with him, asked him to
come to Cresco, and meeting Mrs.
:Ahern, daughter of Mr.. McHugh. told
her we thought DR.. Keith could cure
her father and expressed a desire that
he be permitted to see him if he came.
He came, and after making thorough
diagnosis of his ailments and OF the
causes from which they resulted, ex-
pressed the conviction that he could
remove the cause and put him again
on his feet. DIR. Keith came to attend
his case, arriving on Saturday after
noon, the 18th instant, and in the
mean time has restored to Mr.. Nc
Hugh the use Of his feet and legs, and
in Il few days he will be walking about
in his usual health. He is now able
to get out and in bed alone and is
worth half a dozen dead men. DR..
Keith is Il thorough and capable dag
nostic, feature peculiar to his medi-
cal school, and in which lies the
great success of its physicians.

SECRETARY CARLISLES REPORT

The report of Secretary Carlisle will
be read with interest second only to that
of the Presidents message. 1t is like
all Mr.. Carries papers-calm, concise
and lucid.
There is one fact in it that will be
generally admitted, to-wit: it has been
the unexampled extravaganza of
the past seven years that has
exhausted the surplus and drain
ed the Treasury. A demand for
economy comes rather late from this adj
ministration, but there can be no doubt
that it is one that the people heartily
approve. But it will not be needed. The
men like Holman who preach economy
Become the butts of ridicule, and: the
spendthrifts are great statesmen. This
makes fewer the advocates of economy
and more numerous the spendthrifts in
Congress.
Mr., Carlisle is "still harping on my
daughter" He wants the Treasury notes
retired within two or three years and
bonds issued to retire them, and recon-
menis that national banks be entitled
to issue money to the par value =of the
bonds held. This is the full measure OF
the increase he advocates as compensa-
ton for contracting the currency half a
billion dollars.

DOLLARS ABOVE PATRIOTISM.

Groderind Of the dying administration,

dollars. crying out when the soul longs
for something that reaches above the
mere material. Give 'em facts.
AS the statemen and patriots are sym
pathizing with the heroic Cubans ana
seeking to find away to help them IN their
STRUGGLE for liberty, our Mr.. Gradgrlnd
issues a proclamation from his little vault
in the Treasury declaring that he is pre-
naring q statement showing the disas-
trous effects of the agitation of the Cuban
question upon the financial and CONNER
cial interests of the country, with espe-
cial reference to the banks which are
Under the comptroller's direct supervis-
ION The telegram continues: ut is
expected tnat the eIerl oI Iris StatShShS
will be to convince Congress that non
action is the proper course to pursue
Secretary Olney thought he would ter
rify Congress by declaring that the Presi-
dent would not be bound by its action.
That threat failing, Mr. Eeeles comes to
the front with his tables, his figures, his
statistics to convince Congress that non
action is the proper course to pursue.
The delay in issuing this statement is
most unfortunate. II Congress had only
been in possession of Mr.. Eceles' facts
yesterday, think how much trouble would
have been averted!
In view of the intention of MIR. Eeeles
to convince Congress" by figures ana
bank statements, it seems that Senator
Chandler was not too severe on Mr..
Olney's manifesto wheIs he said:
"This manifesto is intended to en-
courage Spanish sympathizers and
to discourage the friends of the Cuban
Republic. 1t is intended to induce
the cowardly commercial spirit of the
country to demand the prolongation
of the atrocities and horrors of the
Cuban war, lest stocks and bondss
shall fall in market price.
