Death Of Little Rose wetrIng.

Little Rose Wotring, the youngest
child of MIR. and Mrs ID. NJ. Wotring,
died on last Saturday evening with a
disease something like diphtheria, pro-
ROunced by the doctors TO be membran-
eous Group. The little one had only
been sick but short time, and her
death brought sorrow TO many hearts.
Rose was sweet lovable child, and by
her childhood charms had won the love
of all who ever knew her. She wa Ave
years old and the pet of the family,
bright-eysd merry and interesting.
The death of an old person seems sad,
yet such death is but the completion
OF LIES story-the expected end of "a
ripe old age. In the death of n child
like little Rose. the heart is made
doubly sad because the tender flower
had just commenced to bloom in all Of
childhood's beauty and 1t seemed cruel
that the hand of death should pluck
the flower. Rose had never gone TO the
public school yet, for she was not old
enough, but when the rest of the chill
dreu OF the family came trooping home
from school, the first thing was romp
with Rose, whose pretty round face
was at the window Watching for their
her happy laugh was loudest when her
papa came home, and she nearly al
ways met him az the door. Last sum-
mer when the bicycle club practiced on
the ground near Mr.. Workings, Rose
was often there and u1any ~ the ladies'
and gsntlemen who rode there learned
10 love the child She said ~ can ride
wheel, but ny feet won't touch the
pedals" Rose often said bright things
that are so amusing coming from little
tots She was full Of prattle and fun,
and dearly loved romp. The family
are all stricken with the sorrow OF
their loss aud the community joins in
sympathy.
Master Arthur vas compelled TO hear
the news OF the death Of mis- baby sister
without the comfort OF one last look at
the little one. lie is ia Charleston and

Little Rose was laid 20 rest ia the

family and the little girl Assem- bled at
the house where appropriate services
were conducted by Rev Crummett.
The singing Of His Jewels" was pa
thetic. 10 was a song that Rose had
learned TO sing with her Sunday School
class. Some white flowers were on the
white plush casket. and little Rose was
dressed in pure white. She has gone

Quite a full report comes from the

AT Grand Harbor the same gratifying
state of affairs is reported. From

with a fair season from now on the
crop will be a big one. AT Colfax wheat
and oats are a week ahead, while corn
and flax are slightly behind the season.
At Clifford, too, the wheat and oats are
growing more rapidly than last season,

better.

BERlMG SEA STATUS.
Partial Explanation Made in the
House of COmmOns

LONDON, July 19.-In the house of COM
mons today, the Hon. George N. Curzon, I'M
der secretary for foreign affairs, replying to
Michael Davitt, anti-ParneIlite, said the gov
eminent was convinced that the seals in
Boring sea were in no imminent danger at
present. Correspondence which had passed on
the subject between the two governments
would be presented in due tine to the house,
but not before the close of the present SEES
sion. He said the expert Investigations were
being continued. Two British gunb0ats were
enlployed-in these waters in 1895, three were
sent in 1896, and two this year. The United
States, ON the other hand, employed no gum
boats, but sent six revenue cutters in 1895, six
in 1895 and five this year. Mr.. Curzon said
also that some delay attended the competition
Of the report of the British commission, but
the government had never contemplated hold
ing 1t back until the publication OF the Amer
lean report. The British government had de-
clined, he added. the request of the United
States for a conference to consider more AIDE
quate regulations to prevent the determination
of seals, as such a conference would be prema-
ture until the experts now engaged in COL
work.

BONACUM CASE CLOSED,
Compromise That Is Satisfactory to
Both Sides.

Neb., July 19.-From the ros-
trums of the Roman Catholic churches of Lin
con, 1t was formally announced yesterday that
the differences existing for some time between
BISHOP BOnacum and several Of his priests
had been settled to the satisfaction of both
factions. The quarrel has extended over a
period of five years, and provoked several ami
mated scenes and discussions. At one time
twenty priests Of the diocese were in open re-
beil1on against Bishop Bonacum. The trouhIe
grew out of the alleged tyranny of the bishop
IN removing his priests in an arbitrary man
ner. At one time, Bonacum was in the police
court, charged with criminal libel growing
out Of the communication of one of the
priests. The cases have been several times
reviewed by the papal delegates. Sato.li and
Martlnelil once tried by a specially organized
canonlcal court at Dubuque, and once re-
viewed by the Vatican at Rome.
By the final settlement, both sides make
concessions. Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy
the most aggressive of those in opposition TO
the bishop, are well provided for. The for
mer is given a good charge at Grafton and
the latter will go to Seward, both Nebraska
towns. Father Fitzgerald has also been
offered the position of private secretary to
Church Howe, of Nebraska, who goes to
Samoa as the representative Of the United
States. He may accept this with the con-
sent of his bishop, and temporarily leave the
priesthood,
