by Rev. G. H. Way, at Hotel Weiss,
North Redwood, Mr.. John E. Lobdell
of Wells Co., N. D., and Miss Cora P.

Rev. John Sinclair of Redwood

In the evening, at the same church,
he spoke at Christian Endeavor
meeting. Mr.. Sinclair addressed the
students at Manchester college at ten
o'clock Monday morning.
The grading around the Catholic
church and rectory in this CITY is one
OF the best pieces of work that has
been going on in this city for several
years. 1t was big task to fill in the
low lands but the members have
worked with will, and they now see
their labors rewarded by having their
church and!pastor's rectory equal in
appearance to anything in the city.
Rev. Fir. Woods expects to occupy the
rectory by Dec. goth.

DR., FLINN.

DR.. Finn is dead. The earthly heal
or of so many ills of humanity has
passed away before the Great Healer
to find eternal rest from human pain
and suffering. His life is ended, his
Judgment is at hand, and thousands
of people, friends of his early man
hood, men and women of his latter
days, admiring children among whom
he has mingled, bow in reverence over
his name and drop a pathetic tear to
his memory.
DR.. Finn was the true type of an
American citizen. It was said of the
late Charles A. Dana that be was one
of the greatest living Americans. DIR.
Finn belonged to his type, his school,
his class. He welcomed all foreign
discussion, intrusion he feared not.
With the frmest belief in his country
to tend to it's own affairs he believed
in National expansion, in American
liberty dominating the entire American
sea. He was proud of his country,
and in war or politics, he boiled over
with patriotism in standing by the
flag.
As physician it will take many
years to eradicate the sentiment
among the thousands of his patients
that he stood first in his profession.
To those whom he has treated from
infancy, that he has presided over at
their birth, and families in which he
has so long been the family physician,
the death of DR.. Finn will seem like
the loss of relative, of household
member, of best friend.

sorrow, our own perplexities and fears
rise up before our minds. How are we
to still them? Christianized humanity
answers as with one voice: "Oh, Lord
God of Hosts, blessed is the man who
trusteth.in Thee"
It was work of genius on the part
of our fathers to inscribe on our al
mighty dollar the words: "In God
we Trust" Yes, it was more. 1t was
an inspiration of Christianity. Every
man, or nearly every man, carries in
his pocket every day this general con-
fession of his faith. There has been a
great cry in the past two years about
changing certain relations of the sill
YER dollar but no word about chang
| ing the motto of the Nation to suit
the materialist by making thread: "In
Force I trust" No, men do not like
to think of trusting in cold, dead ma
terial law. The human heart Graves
for another heart to beat warmly to it.
The heart which it desires above all is
the heart of the infinite, living God.
The Festival of Thanksgiving means
the beating of seventy million hearts
in gratitude to the God of Providence
who has, in His Fatherly love, pro-
vided for His children throughout an
other year. Around every Christian
table on THANKSGIVING day, in some
form or other, there will be the feeling
that existed in the breast of the sacred
writer when he exclaimed: "Oh, that
men would praise the Lord for His
goodnes and for His wondrous works

A recent editorial in the Pioneer
Press headed "Post EN-" has been Sc
verely condemned by the old soldiers
of the Ortonville G.. A. r. Post. The
article was severe denunciation of
the pension rolls of the United States,
contending that there we're too many
old soldiers drawing fraudulent pen
sion, and that the pension rolls, at the
present time, over 80 years after the
war has terminated, is larger now than
it has been at any time since the war.
The Press contends that many wealthy
men are drawing pensions, and that
their financial condition warrants their
decapitation. The GAZETTE is sur
prised at the statements of that paper.

1t can be said of DR.. Finn that he
had no enemies. That those who
knew him the longest were his warm
est friends, and that those who have
become more recently acquainted with
him, have learned to like him from
the first impression and from the es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
community in which be has resided
over u years.
To those who know him best, who
have been his constant friends and
companions ever since he commenced
his practice in this section of the State,
who have enjoyed his conversation, bis
company, his death is as grievous and
as painful almost as it is to the i'm
mediate members Of his family. They
knew his traits, his noble manhood,
his foibles, and it required but the
smallest mantle of charity to spread
over his few human faults to make
him the perfect man.

While it is willing to admit that there
are some men who enlisted after the
war was over, and never smelt powder,
the numbers are but few, and the re-
duction of thesexpenditure by reason
OF their suspension, would be small.
Men who made good soldiers, and
who haye become wealthy, or who
have beeniplaced in good circumstance
es since the war, have just as much
right to draw a pension as the poor
man. They served the Nation we'll;
they should.be;.well- with a good
heart by the Nation now.

express from St. Louis on the Troy
Mountain & Texas Pacific route, due al
Dallas at 6:2o a M; was wrecked last
night at the little station of Forest, in

cross-ties on the track. Half dozen or
more passengers are reported injured,
but none fatally.

Eddie RaId,s Proposal.

Buffalo. Jan. Fiddle Bald H7aaees
proposition last night to Plummer,
the manager of the English contingent
of cyclists, to race either Tom Linton
or Jimmy Warburton distance, CT one
mile for a stake of $500 to $1,000. Fitfra-
mer was taken aback by Bald's bold
defy and made no attempt to make q
match. Linton offered to accept the.
challenge if Bald would allow him to
have his own pace.makers, and the
race to take place in England Bald
agreed to race in England, but insisted
that the same pace.makers should act
for both men, as the foreign pace
makers are acknowledged to be better
than the Americans. Linton would not
consent to this, and it is not likely thaE
Americas champion will get a chanes
at the crach foreigners in match
race.

Electrical storm.

Cleveland. Jan. I7..-At 5:35 this
evening the people of Cleveland were
startled by an electrical storm, which
would have been unusual even In mid
summer, but coming as it did, in mid
winter, it creating CONSERVATION, espec
ally among the superstisious, for the
lightning was vivid and the thunder
loud and unusually severe. This thun-
der storm in January was accompanied
by heavy rainfall, almost as heavy as
the worst storm last summer. Just
before the electrical storm, the atmos-
phere became so warm that windows
were opened and overcoats discarded.
The cold wave signal is now up and
the promise is made that it will be IS
degrees colder Monday morning

phyxiation. Mr.. Smith had gone to the
hotel about 80 and was assigned to a
single room on the third floor. He was
shown to his room at once and that was
the last seen of him alive. Mr.. Smiths
friends are of the opinion that death was
due TO an accident. He was apparently
in good spirits and light-hearted, and so
far as known in perfec. health. Mr..
Smith was SO years old and had been in
newspaper work in New York and in
the west for IS years. He was brother
of Ballard Smith, the European CORE

Paul du Chaillu tells of the doings of
a queer African species of ant, which
the natives call the bashikonay, which
marches through the forests in aregular
line. This line usually averages about
two inches n breadth and is often sew
eral miles long, with not break in the
column. "All along the line" says the
great traveller, "large and fierce looking
ants acts as officers, keeping the simgu-
lar army in order"

The Circle County.

The oldest Snapped county among the
5000 which go to make up the separate
divisions of the various states is Warren
county, Tennessee. 1t lies almost ex-
actly in the geographical center of the
state mentioned and is about as near a
perfect circle as any division of land
could possibly be. The circle would be
perfect but for the fact that there is a
short stretch of the northern boundary
line which follows a small stream for a
short distance. 1t is bounded by Can
non, DeKalb, Coffee, Grundy, Van Blu
en- and White counties, and is in no
way remarkable except in shape.

lection. Russia had All old law by
which one who pulled but single hair
from anothers beard might be fined
four times as much as if he had cut of
one of his enemy's fingers. The Turks

The Blue Lobster:I Rare.

One of the very rarest of all marine
creatures, the wandering fish" not ex-
cepted, is the crustacean known as the
indigo lobster During the years 1890
81 the lobstermen of New London, Conn,
caught five of these wonders, two of
them in the Fisher Island Sound. Lob
sters of that variety are so exceedingly
rare that it is not known that more than
two of that kind had ever been captured
before in the history of the world. The
capture of two blue Holsters off the
coast of Maine in 1894 was reported, BUT
on good authority it IS said that the re-
port was never verified.

CUBANs' PROGRESS.
whole Eastern Portion of the island
Now in Their Possession.

Tampa, Fla, Jan. I7.-Passengers by
the Olivette brings news of the war sit
uation in Cuba. Ports au Principe and
Santiago are practically.in the hands of
the Cubans, the Spaniards not daring to
leave their fortresses, except under the
protection of 4 strong escort. In fact,
the whole eastern portion of the island
is now under the government of the
Cubans.
Weyler permits, nothing against his
interest 10 pass the censoIs ship, but it
now comes out that the zoo wounded
men sent into Havana last week was the
result of an attack made on the trocha
20 miles from Havana by Cuban col
umn.
It is now ascertained that the Cuban
general, Jose Maria Aguirre, died of
pneumonia at Ell Inglis, in the province
of Havana, on the 2oth ult.
The Spaniards are driven from the
country INTO the cities and are fortifying
them. They continue the work day and
night at Havana. On Saturday morning
before the Olivette left the Spaniards
were out practicing with heavy artil-
lery.
The stories published in this country
that the Cuban leaders are ready to treat
on basis of autonomy are denounced
as SANDERS on Cuban manhood. They
are emphatic in the statement that the
Cubans will never accept anything at
the hands of Spain but absolute indie
pendence. Gomez has never authorized
anything to the contrary. 1t is reported
that Fondevila continues to butcher pa
elf COS at Guanabacoa.
A large body of insurgents under Gas
tillo and Delgado is reported near Ha-
vana
It is reported that General Calixto
Garcia has defeated General Seguera,

walked AFTER His Head was of.

DIR. Loyle, the French physician, who
has greatly interested himself in the
question: "What passes in the head OF
a decapitated human being" relates the
following remarkable story, which he
SAYS was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts. 1t was the year--that
Sharenburg a well-known bandit, and
four of his associates were killed and
condemned to death. They were al
ready on their knees ready to pay the
penalty of their bloody deeds by sub
hitting to the awful fate of decaPita-
ton, when Shenenburg addressed the
Judge, asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain conditions.
aft" asked the bandit chief, 81 am be-
headed, get up and walk to the first of
my comrades, will you pardon him?'
The Judge thought that he was pretty
safe in complying with the request.
"Then," said Schenou "If I walk to
the second, the third and the fourth,
will you pardon them also"s The Judge
replied that if such a miraculous feat
could be performed he would obtain
pardon for the other three also. The
chief was now satisfied, and bending
his head, he received the fatal blow,
Instantly the head rolled down in the
sand, but to the surprise and horror OF
of all pres snt, the headless trunk arose
and walked alone. Aimlessly, it APP
Peared, the body walked around
until it passed the first, the second,
the third and the fourth condemned
bandit, when it fell and became mo-
tionless. Query; How could headless

queer Ideas about Finger Nails.

The Japanese have some curious
ideas about finger nails. One of them
is to the effect that they must not be cut
before starting on journey, lest dis
grace befall the person before he reaches
his destination. Neither should they
be cut at night, lest cats claws should
grow out To throw all nail parings in
he fire is to invite some great calam-
'Ay'. If, while trimming the nails, a
piece should fall in the fire, the person
will soon die.
