Death of Sophie Podawiltz.

Better a death when work is done, than
Earth's most favored birth;
Better q child in Gods great house, than
The King of all the earth"
Death, an unwelcome visitor, has
been in our midst again. Miss Sophie
Podawiitz the second daughter of our
respected townsman, Mr.. John Poda-
Wilt, died Saturday, July Il, of quick
consumption. She was in her nine
teenth year, that time of life when it's
the most dear to US. Developing from
girIhood to womanhood she had Oh
tanned knowledge of what life really
ment and was becoming more anxious
to live out her allotted period. Disease
robbed her of all cherished ambitions
in her school work and church work
and to-day all that was mortal is laid
away in its last resting place. \ loving
daughter, companion and friend, is thus
cut down in early life, disappointed,
to an early grave. We mourn with
those who are made to feel her loss
keenly.
Sophie Podawiltz was born in this city,
August 50, 1877, and was therefore 10
years, 10 months and II days old. She
was member of the Moravian Church,
Centralia, and teacher in the Sabbath
school. She attended the public school
until her health failed her the past year,
when she was taken to the different
hospitals in Chicago for treatment, but
with no favorable results. About two
months ago she came home and for the
last two weeks she was confined to the
be She leaves her parents, two Sis
tiers and one brother to mourn her
death.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon in the Moravian church, Rev.
Peterson officiating. Fred Berg and
wife, William Berg and wife Fred Berg
Jr. of Arcadia, relatives, were here to
attend the funeral.
She was a good christian girl, loved
by her associates and companions i'll
school and church work, for her many
char ming virtues. She will be greatly
missed by those who enjoyed her &C.
Quaintance and love.

Weather Conditions.

The weather during the past week
has been much cooler than the week
previous, and being generally clear and
dry, furnished the ideal conditions for
haying and harvesting and a continual
ton Of the rapid growth of ali crops.
The rains Of the previous week we're
generally timely, except in some por
tons of the northern section, were well
distributed and stored the soil with
sufficient moisture to last several days,
although at the end Of the week there
were few localities in which rain was
needed, but this condition was by no
means general. Scattered rains were
reported during the past week, but
were generally confined to small areas
and light in character, except in the
southwestern counties, where the pre-
cipItation was moderately heavy. Oats,
although damaged in some places by
the hot weather Of the previous week
and lodged to some extent by the heavy
rains and high winds Of the 10th and
18th, are generally a good crop, being
we'll headed out and are beginning to
turn, so that cutting will commence in
some portions of the State in week or
ten days. Rye harvest has begun in
some localities and will be general in
about ten days. The yield will be
affected to some extent by the late
frosts, but while the stand is rather thin
the heads are we'll filed and nearly an
average yield is indicated. Corn is still
making good progress, although weedy,
and is beginning to tassel. Early-sown
barley is nearly ripe and harvest will
begin shortly. q. Haying progresses
finely and another week will see most
Of the crop put away. Clover is still
being harvested although about finished
in the middle and southern sections.
Tobacco is making excellent progress
and will be good crop. Small fruits
generally furnished an excellent yield,
although damaged in a few exposed
places by the late frosts. Gardens do
ing well. Potatoes are progressing
rapidly, but there is considerable com
plant of bugs.
! The general tone Of reports from
counties where spring wheat is grown
indicates that the crop is a very good
one, the stand being thick, the heads
heavy, and the grain plump and in ex-
cellent condition. Some counties re-
port this cereal to be in the finest con-
dition for number of years. There is
but little complaint Of Hessian flies,
rust, OF grasshoppers and the indica-
tons now point to very good yield.

Prosperity Is Arriving.

Machinery row, on Williamson street,
at the point also known as "Stoney Isl
and avenue" is good barometer of
1.-The times" If machinery row is do
ing business it is good indication that
the farmers are prospecting. Dealers
on the row say that business is better
than eyer this year. Alderman Heath,
state agent for the Advance Thresher
company, says that while this is the
lively time of the year III the machin-
cry business, the past two weeks beats
the record. He has handled thirty cars
of threshers and engines this season,
and this is small part Of the total, as
nine-tenths of the goods are shipped
direct instead of being sent through the
state agency here, and he will handle as
many more during the season. All
