John r. vankeurcn n.

John T. Vankeuren was born in
Rhinebeck, Duchess county, New York,
Oct. 10, 1888. He married Esther
Macomber Jan. IA, 1858. At the age
Of % he was converted while living in
Winfield, Mich, and united with the
NJ. e. church there. About IA years
ago he came to Woodbury. county, Ia,
and for the past seven years has made
his home in Elk Point. AT the time
OF his death he was a member and
trustee of the NJ. E. church here, and
one Of its staunch and most loyal
friends. Kindhearted, magnanimous,
generous, his faults were such as usual
~ grow out OF these worthy traits as a
sort OF recoil or necessary accompani-
ment. Everyone believed him to be an
honest, upright man and earnest
Christian. His death occurred on the
10th as noted last week, and in the
same issue we gave an outline Of his
record as a soldier. Truly he may say
II have fought the good fight, have
finished my course, henceforth then e
is laid no for me crown of life.'

has been member OF the board of
charities and corrections during the
time that this alleged stealing has
been going on. 1t could not have TAX
en- place without his knowledge and
consent. 1t was his duty with the 9TH
err members OF the board, to let the
contracts and TO see to it that the coal
purchased was used for the purpose
for which it was purchased. If there
has been stealing Father Hare, good
old time populist, must have known
about it, and Of course must have been
a party to 1t. If $4,000 Of this money
went into the republican campaign
fund, Father Haire, populist, must
have helped put it there. And still
Gov. Lee has confidence enough in the
honesty and integrity Of Father Hare
to appoint him member Of the board
OF regents, and not a protest has come
from any populist paper. II the other
members Of the board Of charities and
corrections are criminals, Father Hare
is one also. What has Gov. Lee to say
to this? What has Father Hare to
say? What have the populist papers
who are commeLding the appointment
of Father Hare, to say: Are they
simply lying about the coal business?
And what do they mean when they say
that Sl0, 900 of the coal appropriation
went into the republican campaign
fund, and still that nobody is accused
of dishonesty" To our way of think
ing the populists are getting decidedly
the worst of this coal business now.
They will he put in a most ridiculous
position in case Mr.. Brookman refuses
to enter into contract next July

A dear one from us has gone,
A voice we loved, We loved Is still;
And oh! our hearts are sad alone.
For none his place can fill.
Our fathers chair Is vacant,
His form no more We see;
But he Is resting, sweetiy resting,
From pain and sickness free.
We would not call him back again;
Though sadly here We stay;
For In this world Is sorrow still,
But there It's endless day.
When the roll Is called up yOnder,
In that land SO bright and fair
J There no more hearts rent asunder.
There no more the vacant chair.
There we'll meet again our father,
II to fathers God we're true.
There to dwell with one another,
All the endless ages through.
Then dear ones, oh let us ever
Strive to here ourselves prepare!
That we may all live forever.
In that bright home over there.

FINE ART A TRINITY.
Hand, Head and Heart Must Meet in
1t Equally.

Fine art is that in which the hand,
the head and the heart go together.
Greatness of art consists, first, IN ear
nest and intense Selling of natural
facts: then the ordering these facts by
strength of human intellect, so as to
make them, for all who look upon
them. to the utmost servicable, memoir
able and beautiful. And thus great
art is nothing else than the type Of
strong and noble life, for, as the lg-
noble person in the dealing with all
that occurs in the world about him,
sees nothing clearly-looks nothing
firmly in the face, and then allows
himself to be swept away by the tor
rent and inexorable force of the things
that he would not foresee and could
not understand; so the noble person,
looking the facts of the world full in
the face and fathoming them with deep
faculty. then deals with them, in un-
alarmed intelligence and unhurrled
strength and becomes, with his human
intellect and will, no unconscious nor
insignificant agent in communicating
their good and restraining their evil.
Homer sang what we saw; Phldlas
carved what he saw; Raphael painted
the men and women in their own caps
and nantes; and every man who mas
risen to eminence in modern times mas
done so by working in their way ana
doing the things he saw.

be made very uncomfortable for him,
and the people would no doubt regard
him as a traitor, but that if he was
willing to take the risk, l would pro-
vide him with a good revolver to de-
fend himself and deputize him as my
assistant.
Il watched the lads features for any
sign of coWardice, and l shall never
forget the CLINT of that boys eyes as
[ placed in his hands a trusty revolver
which l had carried many times before
or similar occasions. 1 then spent some
time in explaining to the boy the use
and handling of a pair of handouts,
which l finally turned over to him.
we then started on foot for the
swamp, my young companion taking
the lead. We soon reached a raviue,
and following this for, perhaps two
miles, we finally struck the swamp. l
shall never forget the feeling Of utter
loneliness that came over me. We
were between the dark waters of the
swamp on the left, while on our right
rose the black bluffs for perhaps three
hundred feet.
1--WE finally assembled a little emin-
erce and the boy, who was still lead
ing the way, stopped suddenly, and
pointing his finger down the path said
in a whisper, there's the Shanty.
Il have always regarded it as prOYi-
Dental that there was some three or
four inches Of wet snow on the ground,
which buried the dry tWigs and leaves
SO that they did not make sound un-
der our feet. Another providential
thing for US was that there was It
heavy cypress tree which had fallen
across our path, and lay between Us
and the shanty, possibly thirty feet
( TIL
structed that the rear of the shanty
was on the edge of the swamp and the
door opened against the bluff side Of
! the raYine while we were approaching
! the gable end of the shanty and it had
no opening.
among other things I also discover
| ed some wearing apparel hanging out
on the limbs of the trees near the
shanty, and correctly surmised that
this was their wash day. We had not
thus far exposed our persons, except
sufficiently for CIR heads to appear
! over the eminence. so that the best
plan for us to pursue was to lie down
| in the wet snow and crawl to the
cypress three, which would serve as
good hiding place The distance was
about six hundred feet, and after
crawling on our hands and knees, We
| finally reached the tree unobserved.
81 turned over on my side and
brushed the snow off of me as best l
could, and looked at my young COM
panion. I was delighted to find no
trace of fear or coWardice. but on the
contrary he seemed impatient for the
fray.
Just at this juncture, a man, the
one supposed to be the least dangerous
of the two, came out of the cabin with
wash tub turned over his head, and
a wash board under his arm, and start
ed off in the direction of the neighbor-

to himself and to his subjects. Napol-
con Ill was also communicated at
one time for having conniVed at the
invasion of the States of the Church
Victor Emmanuel, as the active agent
in the final invasion, was Of course un-
DER the ban of the church until MS
very deathbed, and King Humbert mas
succeeded to his fathers ecclesiastical
condition. Hence the Count OF Turin
is only enjoying a family privilege.
THE CHURCH AND DUELING.
The attitude of the church toward
dueling is an uncompromising one.
1t is true that in early ages it was
the custom to permit accuser and &C
cused to settle their dispute by duel,
and this mode of decision was looked
upon by the civil law as an appeal to
the judgment of God. Even church
men sanctioned the belief by practice
and precept. Thus, in the year 1144 the
monks of St German de Pres demand
ed duel to prove that Etienne de Mac1
had been wrong in imprisonlng one OF
their serfs Champions for each side
We're. appointed. They fought long and
bitterly in the court yard of the monas-
terry. AT last" says the contemporary
champion of the abbey gpuged out the
eye of his adversary and obliged him
to confess that he was in the wrong"
Nevertheless, despite the example Of
individual churchmen, there had grad
ually been growing up in the church a
sentiment against this form Of appeal
to the God of Battles. So early as 855
the council of Valence absolutely pro-
hibited duels, imposing penance for
homicide on the man Who killed his
antagonist and denriying a man slain
in a duel of the church's prayers. As
the duel lost its judicial character and
came under the ban of the secular law
the church opposed it with still greater
unanimity and Vehemence. julius II.
published bull strongly condemning
il in 1910, while the council Of Trent
communicated all who engaged in
duels and those who counciled or pro-
NOTED them, besides depriying persons
who died in a duel of Christian burial
In 1852 Benedict XIV. censured those
who taught that a man might accept
duel to save his reputation Tor cour-
age or to keep his post as an officer
of the army Moreover, theolosians
teach that such excuses do not save o
man from sin against the natural law
or form mourning ecclesiastical penal
ties.
So long as the ban of excommun1ca-
ton lasts neither the Italian count nor
the French prince may attend mass or
receive the sacraments. Among the
sacraments is included that OF mar
