For several weeks our
space in the daily papers
was occupied with deScrip-
tons of the Jewel Stoves
and Ranges; we stopped
talking only when we
thought the public was tired
reading about stoves. A
break in the monotony is
good for business, good for
the readers of the papers.
In the interval, covering
two or three weeks, we
have dilated upon utensils,
which 60 with the stoves,
kitchen furniture, crockery
and French china; but all
the time we have been fairly
busy selling Jewel stoves.
We are willing to sell more.
Our stock includes every
possible variety, style or
size. Some of them burn
wood only, others coal or
wood. We have them with
reservoir or hot water coil.
Oven above and oven above
and below - all kinds OF
stoves with ovens to suit.
Persons with stoves nearly
worn out, will receive a lib

tunity not offered by other
dealers.

keepers in Honolulu have
sent us testimonials on the

RECENT DEATHS.
Cumming.

After decline OF some weeks, Rev. E.
c. Cummings died in his home at Port
land, Tuesday, the 18th inst.
Mr.. Cummings was the fourth pastor
of the North church of this place. he was
installed May 10, 1860, and remained
nine years. His warmth Of interest in
the town and the church OF his lovenever
abated during the twenty-eight years OF
absence. His short visit here last Octo-
ber, every hour a delight to him, was like
a flush OF sunset glow upon life uncon-
sciously nearing its close.
To thos Sc who met him for the first time
Mr.. Cummings was almost always sur
prise. His youthful appearance, his mod
est and gentle bearing gave no hint of
the large resources of bis mind nor Of the
depth of bis affections. He was an ac-
complished scholar, versed in all schools
OF thought, independent in his own judg-
ments and convictions. His refinement
of thought and delicacy Of nature did not
fit him for popular leadership; but in the
companionship Of friends he was facile
princeps in origi" "aiity Of mind and in the
exuberant flow OF expression, which with
the charm of his expressive voice was like
melody to our ear and mind. Wealth Of
thought, wide culture and gentleness OF
manner made him always interesting;
he was especially ,lued among his min
isterial brethren TO, his felicity in courte-
Gus discussion and for the breadth and
ripeness of his matt red conclusions.
Mr.. Cummings religious life was deep
and pure. The word of the Lord was
not only absolute, it was precious and
holy to him, wonderful in meanings that
were fresh and sweet for the day. and in
prophecies which b, greeted from afar.
He was a child in docity OF faith,
strong man in the Intelligence and depth Of
his religious experience He venerated
ancient forms for the spirit that was in
them, and if any new phase of eternal
truth had in it promise of spiritual uplft
he promptly welcomed it.
Mr.. Cummings was the embodiment Of
simplicity and sincerity. He was open
eyed, open-hearted. He loved all men,
loving Christ supreniely. He was sensi
lively appreciative .oI the least kindness,
and very generous toward any who dit
tered from him. He kept quiet, rever-
ent spirit in the highest joys OF life, and
in its severe disappointments. The end
was like all the rest--a gentle descent into
the valley, whispering of benedictions,
a peaceful fight.

High Water.-The heavy rains this
week have raised the rivers considerably
but as there was little ice no damage has
been done either by high water or ice.
Since the freshet last year the dam at the
scale works has been lowered one foot so
that no trouble is anticipated there even
il the water should rise higher. A small
ice jam started to form around the Lake
road trestle below Fairbanks village but
little dynamite soon broke the jam.
The town fathers have thoroughly in
spected the roads and bridges and report
no signs of any damage to the town
property. At the electric light station
the water was so high that the steam
engine had to be used instead of water
wheels.
