From the Gazette, Cedar Falls, Ia.
The la grippe, that dread disease that had
such run throughout this country three or
tour years since, lett many who were pre-
viousiy in robust health, with shattered con-
situations and seemingly confirmed invalids
Prof A. Il. Nye, living at No. $500 Olive

number left in precarious condition by the
disease No strength, feet and limbs badly
swollen, in fact, almost helpless. Prof Nye

a school teacher by profession, having

comes in contact. His helpless condition

munity:, He tried the best medical skill
procurable,. and spent most Of his ready
means IN the vain endeavor to recover his

cine, being fully convinced liz his own mind
that there was no help for him, and that he
would have to spend the balance Of his days
as an invalid a burden to family and friends
Some one who had heard of Dr. Williams
urged him to give them trial. His poor
success with eminent physicians made him
skeptical and he had no faith in what was
called proprietary medicine, and would not
listen to this advice for some days. The
friend being persistent, however, and having
faith in the Pink Pills. would not let up, un-
til he had finally prevailed upon the sufferer
to send for box, which he reluctantly did,
and after receiving them decided to give
them fair trial. The first box relieved him
IN surprising manner; yet he was not con-
WINGED that it was the medicine that had
helped him, but the weather, which had
turned pleasant, and did not send for
further supply until he was again about as
bad as before taking the pills. Then he con-

question of Hastings and Anoka was
fought over, with the result Of a di-
v1ded victory, though Hastings was in
the lead. It developed into fight be-
tween Minneapolis and St Paul, the
former favoring Anoka and the latter
Hastings. The story in brief is that
the commission, by one majority, first
located the asylum at Hastings Two
or three days later one of the commits

the vote was reconsidered, and it was
given to Anoka. The Anoka site cost

HAVE PASSED AWAY.
A. A. MORRILL,.

A. A. Morrill, was born May l, 1927,
at NOpOli, Cattaragus county, New
York, where he remained until he
reached his majority. On March p,
lS4S, he was married to Miss Hannah
Boardman.
Mr.. Morrill, arrived iu this part Of
the country as early as 1870, driving
overland from Webster county, Iowa.
He reached the claim that has been
his home for several years, then only
a wild, unbroken prairie over which
the deer and buffalo roamed. Later
on Mr.. Morrill's family arrived from
Iowa. Mr.. Morrill, helped lay out the
present city Of Oxford and also in
organizing school district No. l. He
also instituted the first Sunday school
and was one of the first and foremost
in all moves for the uplifting of the
erring ones. He was a member of the
NJ. E. church, Of which he had been
class leader and steward for a period
of forty years.
Prior to leaving Webster county,
Mrs. Hannah Morrill, pissed to the
realms of eternal glory. During the
year 1866 Mr.. Morrill, was united in
marriage to Miss Jemima Jadwin.
He was loving and devoted father
to his eighteen children, fourteen Of
whom still survive. and with them
and the sOrrowing widow we unite
and mingle our tears with theirs at
having lost a brother who was always
unfolding the right and cOndemning
the wrong, filling the place of an in-
dustriOus, enterprising, patriotic, pub
lie spirited, charitable, GOd-fearing
citizen, for whose removal from our
midst we can see no reason. But We
can be recOnciled by the Creator, who
sees farther than we who inhabit this
earthly sphere, and oy remembering

will, not mine, be DONE" M

SUSAN DURHAM.

Susan Durham was born in Ohio
October 9, 1888, and died January l6,
1897. She became the wife of VIM. A.
Durham June I, 1886. Of this union
there were born three children, all
boys.
Mrs. Durham was converted last
summer while at home, under her
own vine and fig tree. She realized
the presence of God when she was
alone, aud from that day until she
was taken away she had a conscious
knowledge OF her Savior's presence.
She gave strong testimony to the
power of God to save, which is great
comfort 10 the husband with three
motherless little 0nes. She was truly
an elect lady, a student Of Gods word
and sought to attain unto that sum of
all graces, the divine nature. Like a
tree planted by rivers of water, she
brought forth fruit, even unto her
young age, to the glory of God and
blessing to the church. Her religion
was of that true, practical kind that
made her life beautiful and impressed
the unsaved with thoughts Of the re-
atty OF the Lord Jesus Christ. Her
young life was crowned by seeing her
husband following Jesus.
While expressing sorrow at parting
with husband and children, there was
not the shadow of doubt Of her ae-
CeptanCe with God.
The funeral was conducted at their
residence Sunday, the 18th, by Rev.
F. F. Bernstorf, pastor Of the MethO-
dist church, assisted by Harry Shap-
colt. A large number of friends and
relatives were there and followed her
mortal remains to rest in the River
dale cemetery to await the resurrec-
tiOn morn.

Letter From L. c. Curtis.

The following excerpt from a letter
received by Fred Curtis on Monday
from his father, c. C. Curtis, who is
in attendance at the Implement
Dealers association at Kansas City,
gives an idea Of what the travelling
men and wholesale implement men
think of Kansas as a good state:
\ \ Cyrus Funk, city salesman
for Parlin & Orendorff Co., was the
first man | met at the hotel. lie
said "HellO, Curtis; when | meet you
fellows from southern Kansas | feel
like kicking every Missouri dealer out
of the office when they come in and
complain about hard times; they
don't pay half as well with good
crop as you people do when you
haven't had crop in three years. "
George Fuller, manager of JnO. Deere
Plow Co., says there Is twice the
bowling in Missouri there is in Kan
Sas. Mr. Chase, Rock Island PlOw
Co.'S. manae er, told me that he would
rather sell goods in Kansas than 10
Missouri. He said the Kansas people
are better buyers and better pay all
the time. Everywhere l have been,
the travelling men say times are
harder 10 Missouri and eastern Kan
Sas than they are with us. Roberts,
the Cassidy man, has been up in

The Groom Backed Out.

VIM. L. LOgue of Caldwell, led
blushing Josie Hatfield into the Office
of the probate judge Wednesday
for the purpose of being united in
marriage. When they came through
the corridors of the court house the
crowd of lOungerS, always to be found
hanging around during court sessions,
quickly guessed their intentions and
began following them. The jury,
which had just been sent out for
recess, also joined in the procession,
and when the couple reached the door
Of the probate judges office they were
followed by a crowd of perhaps fifty
people. The groom held the crowd
back while he opened the door and
allowed his bride-to be to paSsi in under
his arm. and recognizing the reporter
allowed him to enter also, while he
struggled with the crowd and fin
ally succeeded in shutting the
door from the inside. They had
no sooner seated themselves
and called for a marriage
license than the door was forced open
and the motley crowd outside began
to pour in. The space outside the
court ratings was soon filed and still
the crowd grew larger. The pros
pective bride stood the gaze and grins
of the impOlite crowd like heroine,
but the presence Of so many people
and the delicacy Of the occasion was
too much for the groom. He grew
faiCt at heart and finally whispered
to the probate Judge that he would
be back later in the day and, picking
up his hat, told his sweetheart to lead
the way out Of the room and he fol-
lowed her sheepishly down the stairs
and out of the court house.

"Maceo came across the trochs I'M
known to US, with but forty men.
More than fifteen hundred Spaniards,
who bad been informed of his trip,
ambUshed him. He rode into it and
was shot at the first fire. We heard
the firing, aud thinking some of our
friends were attacked by the Spanish
guerillas, we started off at once to
their aid, though we had but 400 men.
When we reached the field Of battle,
it was almost over, and we were told
that MaceO was killed and his body
had been tied to a horses tail and
that the Spanish were taking it off.
Our men were perfectly frantic over
the report. We dashed forward with
drawn machetes, and what a fight
that was! The Spaniards met US and
the encounter was horrible. Our men
fought to kill, only bent on aVenging
Maceo. Our trusty and sharp mache'
ties fell with regularity, and l think
we killed more than 200 of the enemy,
and, what was more, we had the con-
ISOLATION of recovering the body of our
beloved, MaceO.
"The SpaniardS fought hard to re-
gain it, charging upon US repeatedly,
but our sharp macheteS were too
much for them and they soon retreat

Our cavalry came out with only TWEEN
