DEATH OF HARRIET KUHN Miss Harriet
B. Kuhn passed away at Indianapolis last
Saturday night at about o'clock, sitter an
illness ofnearly three months, oil lung t1ouble
Several weeks ago she went from this city
to the home of her brother, at Indianapolis,
to take medical treatment from some of the
best city physicians and in hope that the
change might prove beneficial to her, but
the improvement was only temporary; and
although everything that medical skill could
suggest, or loving hands could do, was done
for her relief, but it was of no avail and she
steadily grew worse until death came.
The remains were brought here on the
1045 a. m. train from indianapolis on Mon
day and taken TO the family residence on
Second and Map!e-sts., where the funeral
services were held yesterday afternoon at
1870.
The deceased was the oldest daughter of
the Rey and Mrs. D. A. Kuhn, and was
among the most popular and highly respcc-
ted young ladies of our city. The large
attendance Of friends at the funeral, the
numerous and handsome floral offerings, and
the words of deep sympathy expressed, all
bear testimony of the very high esteem in
which she was held by all.--North Mancbes.

The Fighting Lemming.

If tho lemming's powers were pro
portioned to his pluck, the lemming
would make things lively for the
hunter. 1t attacks with reckless
fury the harmless passerby. One OF
these CT Features, smaller than rat,
will assail without a second thought
couple of human beings weighing
$50 pounds apiece. 1t will spring to
ones knees, barking and biting,
and in purblind fury fall back "all
ends up to the earth, only to re-
new the attack again and again. To-
day while one lemming was flying
at me another from beyond u small
stream joined in the demonstration
and presently swan across to get to
close quarters was not quite sure
that the first tall into the water was
not accidental, but hardly think SO,
since once there it came straight to
the charge. Wild Norway"

Section %.

The delay of the Acknowledgement
in making his decision ON the ques-
tons raised by the notorious Section
- of the republican tariff act gives
color to the report that he does not
see his way clear to place upon the
provisions of that section the inter-
probation demanded by Senator FL
kins and other congressional hackers
of the Vanderbilt roads.
We may hope that this impress
sion is warranted by the fact, and
that no such new abomination is to
be added to the Republican tariff act.
1t is to be borne in mind, however,
that the proclaimed purpose of the
Republicans who now confess to
having favored the section is to Grip
pie traffic over all lines of transport
tation which are not owned by
Americans. TO be sure, this would
mean the crippling of American
trade; but that, unfortunately, is the
bottom principle of McKinleyisn.
The decision of the Attorney-Gen.
Gaa will mean great deal to tho
mercantile interests of New England.
If our merchants are to be cut off
from the advantages of transporta-
ton over Canadian lines, trade re-
volt will be bred in this part of the
country.
