IN VICTORIAN.

Died, near Mill -Four, on October
6, 1897, Ora G. May, aged 20 years,
8 months and 22 days.
The deceased has been a resident
of the Bay for some years and was
well known and universally be-
loved. His was a most lovable dis
position, and to the natural beauty
of character was added the charm
of religion. He has been a most
earnest worker for the Master since
his conversion some two years ago,
and was the means of leading many
to Christ. He was never ashamed
to own his Master, but on all occa-
sions was ready to speak and work
in His name On his death bed
he exhorted all who were present to
live good lives and meet him again.
He was ready to go, and in beauti-
full language and a sweet smile he
said, 81 am just waiting" and
again he said, 1T is nothing to die,
just a step across the river" For
his beloved parents he had a special
message, telling them not to mourn
for him as he would be a comfort to
to them still. When nearly gone
he was asked what he wanted. He
smiled and pointed upward. To
one friend he said, "They tell me
you have backslidden; is it true?"
YES" was the reply. "Well," he
said, you must go back to your
first work; the Lord will claim his
own.' For each he had a message,
speaking as one inspired. No doubt
he saw beyond the vale as he spoke
OF the beauties of what he saw be-
You'd the river. We cannot mourn
him as lost, he is only gone before.
Another bright spirit has joined the
heavenly hosts, and we can only re-
member that he has gone to the Sa-
vior whom he loved so we'll. We
can truly say his life was a most
lovely one, and his death most
grand, and while we sympathize
with the bereaved parents, we could
not wish him back to suffer again.
He suffered a great deal during his
long illness but never complained,
bearing all with the patience of a
saint He was a member of the
United Brethren Church in Christ.
Our Master says, Blessed are they
who die in the Lord" and we NAV
rest assured that he has Joined the
ransomed throng.
The funeral services were held at
the house, as some of the family
were unable to attend elsewhere.
The services were most appropriate
and impressive. The Rev. Butler
preached a stirring sermon on "The
Resurrection" 1t was a splendid
address and was listened with close

DIR. R. Parent, or Farmer Parent,
has shucked his potatoes, dug his

a short stay. We think Docs idea
is to send his children to school
this winter.
One of the cinnamon employed
on the section here got one of his
hands badly smashed last evening
by the falling of a railroad rail
upon it. Just how seriously it was
hurt we could not find out, as he
did not have a doctor care for the
injured member, but it is safe to
say that this John Chinee will take
a layof for some time.
Wallace Fish, a little son of T..
P. Fish, had the misfortune to
break both the bones of his left fore
arm last Thursday. He and his
broteer have been riding from the
Dundon place, where the boys live
with their grandparents, to school,
both on IL horse. While going
home Thursday evening the horse
started to.run down the. hill in front
of the Henry Wulf house. The
boys were bareback and were I'm
able to hold the pony from running,
and as it made a turn at the bridge
this side Of Mr.. Hyde',s the boys
were thrown off. Wallace threw
out his arm to shield his face, and
the result was the breaking of both
bohes just above the wrist. The
boy was brought to town where DR..
Darnell set the broken bones and
gave the boy the proper medical aid,
and he is getting along as nicely as
possible.

mure little damsels that brought

We regret to announce that Tc-

Miller and hi, estimable family
from our city.
]. H. Crawford, living on the
Cloak place, at Storrs, brought some
of as fine apples to this market last
Monday that have come here this
year. We have a sample of fall
pippins, the largest of which just
weighs a pound. The apples are
all sound, almost without a flaw or
speck on them.
The depot ground at this place
has a much improved look since
the new side track has been extern

dirt that have disfgured the appear

been removed. If the company
would now spread a good layer OF
gravel over the north end of the
ground, where the teams will ap-
proach the depot, the work will be
complete.

Monday he brought a box of apples
OF the Dutch Mignon variety that
are certainly hard to beat. There
were fifty-one apples i'll the box

KANSAS SHOOL FUND.

The Topeka Capital few days since,
IN sneaking of new investments in the
permaneut school fund Of the state, said
that a block of Wichita bonds had
been declined because Of the great IN
debtedness of this city. The writer
took pains to distinctly relterate the
declaration. AS our authorities mere
know nothing of such offer and refusal,
and as it was news that Wlchitas IN
debtedness was greater than that OF
other cities of the state, we set the as
ser,ion down 10 the score of malice and
let it pass undenied and unheeded. Now
comes State Superintendent Stryker
with a full statement Of the CONDITION
Of the stale school fund. All this talk
of a million defalcation or loss by in
vestment in worthless bonds has but
little foundation. There is Sal, 4O4.OO
delinquent interest, 100000 interest
and principal voted by the city of Law
renee for the state university, long since
cancelled by law, because il was in the
nature of a loan In the first instance.
But the total loss, counting defaulted
bonds of western towns and districts
and interest accrued thereon, together
with all other losses, does not exceed
$4,000. The superintendent does not
mention this city as being delinquent,
but says that Topeka owes the fund

TAMMANY TO RULE

SDoils. as now, have ever been the
inspiration Of the Democratic party.
From the time their cannonized saint,
Andrew Jackson, declared that Ito the
victor belong the spoils," few Demo
Gratis have ever permitted conviction
or principle to stand in the way of any
chance for Office. For the sake Of pos
sible sDoils the Democratic party OF
Kansas espoused the socialistic Pop
party, and later, in Chicago, swallowed
the entire aggregation, Omaha platform
and all. The controlling Democra TIC
organization of New York is Tammany
Tammany is party for office. 1t
never had a principle. 1t knows few
divisions. Tammany is preparing to
get coptrol of the Greater New York
this fall. The Democratic party, ma
tionally, may be split and divided, but
not so in New York. The currency
issue will be forgotten. The tariff will
nor be an issue The party will be
united for mighty struggle to regain
control Of the Offices. 1t will be hight
for the spoils, and If the Democrats
win, Tammany, greatly strengthened,
will flourish once more as a political
power in the nation.
Tammany never contended for a ma
tional issue unless it could gain locally
by doing so. Tamnrany never cared
whether the Democratic party won in
the nation. It's only concern was to
elect the mayor and sheriff Of New
York. the two men who controlled the
Offices. If it became necessary to bolt
a Democratic candidate for the presi-
dencv to elect a Tammany mayor,
Tammany was ready to make the sac
rifice. But nevertheless Tammany was
a power in national politics. In close
elections it often, by fraud and forgery,
turned the scale in favor OF the Demo
cratic national ticket, and in 1854 the
election of Grover Cleveland was due
to the standing together Of Tammany
and the solid south.
If the Republicans of Greater New
York. through any blunder, make II
nossible for Tammany to win this fall,
they will not only be untrue to the peo-
pIe of New York, but they will deserve
the condemnation Of the Republicans OF
the nation.

Cuba is causing untold suffering and
death to non-combatants, as well as a
lamentable destruction OF property.
Three American correspondents who
have Just returned to this country, and
who have been working On different
lines, agree in their declarations that
the island is nowhere pacified; that
Weyler and his officers do not object to
prolonging the war because of the OPP
rortunities it affords for lining their
their pockets with gold and Fastening
their promotion in the army; that the
Spanish capture hospitals and butcher
wounded men in their beds, and that
unwritable horrors are OF frequent oc-
currence Testimony Of this character
from men of repute and without preju-
dice. can only strengthen the feeling of
sympathy for the patriots who are
struggling to free Cuba.
