Grateful for Kindly Words.
with a sorely chastened heart and
mind. / desire to take this means of
showing to our friends our heartfelt
expectations of the many kindly words
shown us during the fiery trial of our
recent affiiction. Not only are
We thankful for the personal calls of
sympathy at door. for flowers and calls
from our neighbors. but for sympathetic
messages from a distance. Almost be-
yond the ocean have come to us loving
words of sympathy. God bless
our noble men and women of Urbana
who have held up my hands that may
once more take up the cares and bur-
ems Of life.
Utters q Prayer for Help.
MAY our loving Heavenly Father
help US to lay OF the shackles Of formal
ity and meet those kindred spirits who
have so grandly come to US in our hour
Of bitter trial, that we may go forth
in the field that is white for the harves:
for good; that we may walk more
humbly, more submissively; that the
stipes We have borne may remind us
ever more of Him who while on earth
knew nothing else but sorrow and affiic-
ton.
Calls Down Blessings on Bushnell.
"God bless our noble men and women
Of the Christian band Of ours-our gov
ernor. our adjutant general. our mayor
and our city and county officials and
citizens Of every walk in life, who not
only so nobly gave sympathy. but faced
bayonets that the foulest stain upon our
city's most sacred page might be blotted
out; that their homes, their loved ones
may be shielded from such a fate as
that Of a fair name that throughout life
must feel even a deeper sorrow than
that Of the parting Of loved ones.
Declares the Dead Arc Heroes,
'Never did soldiers die on any battle
field for a more holy. and righteous
cause, than did these brave boys for
the purity Of their homes, for mothers,
daughters and sisters. They should be
looked on as heroes willing to spill their
blood for the hottest Of all and any
cause. T., M. GAJyMER."
Governor Bushnell Is quoted as saying
that the militia was perfectly justified
In shooting into the mob.

from Baron Hengelmuller. the Austrian
minister. against the discriminating
duty on sugar in the tariff bill. The

ted to protest against the provision. His
note Of protest was sent to the secretary
OF state April Is. Since that date the

on the other hand threatens to heavily
damage Austro-Hungarian exports"
He calls attention to the former CORE.
spondence on the subject regarding the
tarin OF 1884, and says that the United
states then recognized the right Of the
austrian government to protest against
the additional duty levied against the
export bounty. The minister says the
pending bill has q much greater in

sugar and threatens the trade ofAustria,
