Obituary.

December 10th, 1897, John Brewer,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. MIN K. Brewer
aged IA years, II months and 2 days.
Gone, but not lost. Johnny pro
fessed hope in his Savior the day be-
fore he died, and said, "Bless the
Lord, bless the Lord. my suffering:
will soon be over" A few minutes
before he past over the Cold River o.
Death a sweet smile came over his
face and he calmly past away.
Our darling son, his voice is hushed.
We shall never see his face or hear
his voice again. Farewell, Dear John.
ny. we will meet you in heaven, where
porting will be no more. He was g
trustworthy son and was loved by al
who knew him. Dear father and
mother. weep not for dear Johnny, for
he is in the heaven of rest, while we
are exposed to temptation and trials
but it is so hard to part with one we
love so dear.
He was laid to rest in the Mann
cemetery in Reynolds county. The
funeral was conducted by Rev. j. w.
Alcorn. aud great number of rela-

man also violated the statute against
trespass, but this offense probably will
be overlooked in the light of the more
serious charge. Prof. Smiths picture
was identified by one of the watchmen
who helped steal the bodies as that of
the man who employed him. Smith
and companion learned in some way
that bodies could be secured at Dun
ming, and they entered into a contract
to secure them, with the aid of the
morgue keeper. They were packed
in trunks, delivered to Smith at the
Dearborn station and shipped by Wells,
Fargo & Co. to KirksVille, as a con-
Segment from the Chicago Floral
Company. Ulrich and the man who
hauled the trunks to the Dearborn
street station confessed and identified
the picture of Smith as the one who
hired them to get the bodies" We
do not know that the VIM. Smith
above referred to is the individual of
that name who formerly lived in Iron
ton, but it is very likely he is the
same person. VIM. Smith left here
about fifteen years ago for Kirksvflle,
where he conducted a mercantile col
lege for many years. Recently he as

Death of Mrs. Jaquith.

Only few days ago this most Iowa
BILE woman left her home for New Or
leans to place her life in the hands oil
an eminent physician with the hope
ere many days to return in health to
her home and loved ones here. Yes
terday was the time fixed for the oper-
alton 10 take place. The nature OF
the disease was such, that it was neces-
sarily a severe one; the frail body
could not resist, and recover from the
shock, and it was evident that all hope
of recovery was gone. At an early
hour yesterday evening, a telegram
from New Orleans told that life would
soon be gone. The end came at one
o'clock this morning.
Her devoted husband, Mr.. A. L.
Jaquith, and daughter, Miss Josephine,
were with the wife and mother when
death closed forever the life of Mrs.
Jaquith. The deceased was a lovely
woman-always thoughtful of others,
kind, affectionate, modest, unassum-
higher life was quiet and peaceful.
Her last hours on earth were like those
of an angel in heaven. She realized
the terrible ordeal that she had to en-
dure with the hope of prolouging life,
and submitted without a murmur.
Josephine Elizabeth Jaqulth was the
daughter of Mrs. Catharine TrOw-
bridge, sister of Mayor Trowbridge
and City Clerk H. J. Trowbridge. Two
daughters. Misses Josephine and Katie,
and two sons, Albert and Will, and a
devoted husband survive her.
The remains will reach here by the
midnight train and will be taken direct
to the family residence. The hour of
the funeral has not yet been fixed but
will most likely take place Saturday.

Victoria and Her Servants.

The kindness and consideration law
ished by Queen Victoria upon her do
nestle servants is manifested in the
pages of the book, Life in the High
lands" Their names are frequently
mentioned, together with homely little
comments on their traits and charac-
ter. and, indeed, one may gather from
a perusal of her pages the impression
that they play far more important
role than either statesmen, officials or
courtiers in the Queens life. The
names of such personages as Sir Rob-
ert Peel, Lord Beaconfield, Mr.. Glad
stone and Lord Palmerston figure
much less in these descriptions of the
Queens home life than the name. for
instance, of her favorite Highland SER
want, John Brown who died some years
ago.

There are two varieties from which

the three quarter coat, in cloth, reach
ing halfway down the dress skirt, and
lined throughout with satin. 1t fastens
straight down the front and has a fur
collar that reaches nearly to the waist
in lapels. The Innings are very gor-
geous, but are not figured as they were
last year. Most have only plain satin
in cerise or orange or some other bril-
liant shade.
The other wrap is a velvet blouse
coat, trimmed with jet or embroidery.
Personally, prefer this coat, as velvet
is always more dressy than cloth, and
the cut of the blouse is less unwieldy
than the bulky three-quarter coat. It
can also be adapted to evening wear

used as skirts for ball dresses.
In making skirts, stripes are gener-
ally made to run around.
Tea gowns are made of strips Of in
sertion and ribbons sewed together and
running around the skirt. The newest
tea gowns are made of some kind of
gauze, draped Watteau fashion over a
tight silk lining. They are exceedingly
effective and lend themselves admir-
ably to the remodelling of old gowns.

to be governed by Christian laws
laws not opposed to the teachings of
Christ's precepts and doctrine. The
object of Christian government
should be to educate the people in
righteous living, and thus to improve
them in their moral and physical re-
lations. This is the purpose of the
Gospel, as is abundantly evident
from our knowledge of its effects.
Our daily observation and expert
ence attest the beneicence of relig-
ious instruction, and we ought to ex-
pect from our Legislators a code of
laws as helpmeet in this good work.
1t is very evident that we have laws
which antagonize the precepts of the
Gospel, both in State and National
legislation. Why should such a
state of things exist? Are not our
Legislators Christians? If they are
not they ought to be. The highest
court of the nation says we are a
Christian nation, which pre-supposes
Christian Legislators. The law of
Christ prohibits evil, and laws cores
ponding with his teachings would
never lead to sin, or sinful pursuits.
Laws modelled after the precepts of
the Gospel would lead to holiness.
Compare these thoughts with the law
which grants licenses for the sale of
alcoholic drinks. This law is nation
al for the purpose of revenue, and
this is true of all the tax levied upon
malt and distilled liquors.
But when we look at the pernicious
effects of the traffic in intoxicating
drinks, we are surprised that such
law should have been enacted by
Christian nation, as Christianity gives
it no support or sympathy. It's ex-
istence is only evil, and that contin-
ually. Its fruitage is every sin in
the catalogue of crimes,-yielding

Orthodox Circulars, With Examples.
BY c. F. BORDEN.

IT seems trife strange that SO
many labor under the impression
that the doctrines of endless woe are
no longer actively presented, at least
in their liberalism. Possibly they are
not, by those who stand highest in
scholarship and theological attain
ments in the partialistic denomina-
tions, but certainly they are by the
rank and file of their ministers, as
sisted by the energetic efforts of the
SO called evangelists, and laity in
general.
Often the question is wonderingly
asked me, and by some orthodox
friend "Why do you Universalists
place so much emphasis on doctrine?
Why do you trouble yourselves and
waste valuable time in refuting the
theory of endless punishment"
Why waste time in answering such
question as long as people are in
full possession of the faculty of hear
ing and are able to walk into partial
ist church? And yet great many
Universalists in different parts of the
United States, are asking the same
question. | wish | could furnish all
such inquirers with a trip pass to
the mission field of the Southern
States; it would save a deal of time
and furnish rich food for thought.
At present, here in Knoxville, we
have in the hotels and depots framed
church notices, with racks attached,
in which are kept supply of Uni
versalist literature, The orthodox
also have box full of tracts and
papers, giving their side of the ques-
ton. l gathered in handful the
