IT'S pleasant to reflect upon long life well spent
in doing good, but when one whose great aim has
ever been to make others happy is suddenly called
by her maker tits sad duty to pay the last tribute
of respect and see all that is mortal laid in its final
resting place. Hundreds of the friends OF Mrs.
Catharine E. Stoner, wife of Mr. William Stoner OF
Warfedsburg, were present at her funeral at ola
Stone Chapel on Sunday last. In fact II seemed an

We miss thee from thy place. dear mother,
We miss thee from thy place;

And tender memories of thee keep;
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He giveth his beloved sleep

Loved in life in death remembered. John A.
Myerly Our dear Boy who departed this life one
year ago today, January 9, 1896.
One year without his loving face,
A year of loneliness grief and pain,
But still we smile amid our tears in thinking
Our loss is but his gain.
Yet we linger around his grave in sorrow
And our eyes with tears overflow,
Feeling all our hopes have persisted
In that flower we cherished so.
Oh, how we loved our darling Boy
No tongues on earth can tell,
But Jesus loved him better
And called him home to dwell
by HIS PARENTS

Relief for Alaska.

A Washington Dispatch of the
Both says: The Cabinet today con.
sidered the subject Of sending relief
to the people in the Klondike. Presi-
dent Mckinley received telegram
from the Portland, Oregon, Chamber
of Commerce, stating that there was
danger of restitution and suffering
in the Klondike and Offering to sup
ply the necessary food for relief If tile
Government would undertake its
transportation.
The Information was not definite as
to the actual conditions, but was on
the same lines that has been tele-
graphed from the Northwest. The
Cabinet considered every phase Of
the situation and discussed ways and
means OF affording relief.
1t was decided that nothing could
be done until Congress meets, when
an appropriation will be asked for, Tor
the purpose of transporting food sup
plies. Although many plans have
been discussed none has been de-
cided upon. 1t is probable, however,
that whatever action is taken will be
under the direction of the war de-
partmentand by the time that Con-
gress acts Secretary Alger will have
formulated plans. No attempt will
be made to go up the Yukon as the
ice has closed progress in that direc-
ton. The relief supplies will have
to be sent over the passes. just what
will be transported is question re-
quiring consideration and one that
will require the study Of many plans
in order that an entirely feasible one
may be adopted. Secretary Alger
will gather all possible information
and will communicate with persons
who know the routes to the Klondike
and are familiar with the Transport
tation methods in the Arctic and
other frozen regions. Reindeer and
dogs will possibly be used as means
Of transportation,
The members of the cabinet were
all intensely interested in the matter
of securing relief. Whether the men
who are supposed to be suffering
went there or not against the repeat
ed warning of all officials is beyond
the question, the simple fact being
that they are there and need relief
making it imperative upon the Gov
eminent to extend aid if possible.

A nice legal point has arisen in
Omaha. Joseph BARLEY, ex-treasur-
or, is now serving twenty years
sentence for looting tie treasury OF
$4,000. A suit has been begun
against him and his bondsmen to re-
cover this amount. His attorneys
have fled petition in which they
claim that BARLEY is legally dead and
therefore cannot be sued. If this
contention is sustained by the Court,
the suit against the bondsmeu can
not be maintained as the principal
must be sued with or before the sure
ties are sued in Nebraska.

Bahys to set date for the trial of the
murderer for the murder of Minnie

wisconsin Men Cross Breeding the
Bison with Profit.
Albert and Charles Huber, living few
miles south of Durand, Wis, have
herd of about 25 full-blood bison and
some 10 crossed bulls and heifers, bison
and native COW, reports the Minneapolis
Journal. About six years ago they were
hunting in the western part of North
Dakota and succeeded in capturing alive
three young bison, bull and two cows,
and these they broughtto their farm
here. The animals grew and thrived
amazingly, and are pastured in an in
closure of about 400 acres running down
to the valley of Rose creek where they
have ample room and shelter.
Experiments were early made with
crossed breeds and it has now been
found that the cross is very successful,
the half-breeds combining the docility
of the domestic animals with the en-
durance and large size Of the bison.
They are also very fine fur producers,
and grow to maturity in less time than
domestic cattle. The flesh Of crossed
animals is very palatable, and the fur
has all the good qualities Of that Of the
bison, and is softer and more silky.
The crossed bloods can also stand far
more exposure in winter than can the
native cows. The Hubers believe they
have fortune in their herd If they can
continue it's increase d few years longer.

THE RULE OF THE STRONG.

There are those who are of the
soon, and that the French and Ameri-
can Revolutions, were illjudged, pre-
mature attempts to bring to sudden
birth the embryo which was slowly
forming itself in the womb of time.
They think the mass of men needed
another century of moral discipline
and intellectual culture before they
were fitted to take their public af-
fairs into their own hands. The actu-
al experience of democratic govern
ment has also disillusioned not few;
not SO much on the grounds hastily
stated by Maine, but because Of it's
tendency to produce almost the OPP
posite result-viz., to throw the
masses into the hands Of few wire
pullers, and SO render them still the
subjects of a rather sordid despotism
while fancying themselves to be free
and equal. Democracy, therefore, is
at present under a cloud; it has not
performed, it is thought, what it
promised, and it is suspected, or at
least half suspected, that it never can.
Our own attitude is that democracy
must be accepted, as a fact, as nee
essary stage in human development,
but that it has dangers of it's own
which are not yet understood and
certainly not guarded against. AS
Prof. GoodnoW of Columbia Universe
ty has shown in his excellent work on
municipal Problems" no possible
gain could accrue to New York from
reversion to restricted suffrage. 1t is.
precisely the people of leisure and
wealth in New York who have allow
ed things to drift, who have deliber
ately abdicated their right of SUI
perior culture to direct the civic life
Of the place, and whose cowardice
has led horde offoreign born office
seekers to fasten on Americas great
est city as a prey. The discussion
among the people of municipal ques-
lions also seems to be the one fruitful
method by which the public interests
and the daily thoughts of the mass
can be raised to a higher level. No
body can estimate the value, from an
educational point of view, of a great
campaign such as the recent one
Spectator.

PROTECTION FROM THE COLD.

If not already done this is the time
in best conditions possible to resist
the cold of the winter now almost up
on US. OftentimeS a small outlay
and little time spent will make a
wonderful difference in the comfort
Of building. The make barns and sta
bles warm, one of the most important
things is to prevent cold from coming
il under the building. By closing up
and banking up the bottom or the
basement of the bottom of the build
ing they can be made comfortable in
the stable floors if half care is taken.
Every one knows that the growth of
animals, the flow of milk and the
amount of feed required, depend
largely on whether the animal is made
comfortable Or not. Outside of the
kindly side Of the question, economy
demands warm stables. Houses should
by all means be made warm about the
cellar and the stills. The windows
ought to be covered with the ''doub-
Leu window attachment and storm
doors and extra entry ways should be
made. Heat escapes very rapidly
from any vent or aperture in the up
per parts of rooms, and every room
should be made as close as it can con-
veniently be done. While there is
some danger in low rooms and very
low houses there is more danger
from cold, usually, than from bad air.
The intelligent house wife and the
careless man of the house in leaving
the doors open will usually see that
there is sufficient fresh air.
Speaking of barn ventilation, there
should be some means for every close
stable, otherwise the bad air will pene-
trate every day and faint the milk of
the COWS, while it will saturate the
clothes of the mixer to such an ex-
tent as TO make him unfit for the
house. There should also be some
vent stenches of the manure cellar.
This is best done, when it can be done
by vent leading to the region of the
cupola Of the barn. The draught will
the cellar, while the building is not
made specially colder. IF the house
and barn are not in the best condition
to resist the cold, take this time to at
tend to the matter. November usually
ushers in the long cold winter.

WHAT INVENTION Has DONE.

What is it that enables an operative
today to produce SO much more in a
less number of hours than he could
thirty or forty years ago? 1t is simply
invention, as embodied in the improv-
ed machines, tools, processes and APP
planes that American inventors are
constantly furnishing to American
manufacturers.
Near Baltimore there was recently
erected one of the largest plan is
in the world for the manufacture of
Bessemer steel in all its forms; and as
recently stated by its superintendent,
by means of the inventions and i'm
proved appliances they have adopted,
they are enabled to produce ton of
steel with but one third of the manual
labor required at their other estab-
lishment, built twenty or twenty FIVE
years before.
In 1866 steel rails cost $165 per ton.
In 1884 they had dropped to S34, in
1898 they were $21 to $24 per ton, and
in 1897 even less. See how that has
expedited the building of railroads,
which now cover the country like
network, and without which modern
enterprise could not be carried on.
And the same is true of steel in all it's
forms. So that today we build steel
vessels, steel bridges, steel frames for
our buildings and for farm imple
noQntS and uSa steal nails
Inventions and improvements have
so reduced the cost of steel rails that
already, dnring the year 1897, the
United States have sold 100, 900 tons
to Europe.-Engineering Magazine.
