TURN ON THE LIGHT.

I. is rather surprising to find the fol-
lowing editorial in the Milford Cliroh'ce'
sa Addicks Republican organ
The Democratic party Is not respon-
..;ble for, neither should it be held to
account for the private acts OF individuals
In n. fold No odium can be cast upon,
A. disgrace attached, to any pniltlcal

no right to blame any political party
with their troubles and their innocence
or guilt has 10 bearing on the political
questions before the people. When the
trial takes place month hence the truth
will be made public that all may know
and Judge for themselves.
Certainly the Democratic party is not
responsible for the Boggs scandal, al
though all the men thus lar arrested on
charges of being implicated with nm
happen to be Democrats.
The looting of the First National BANK
of Dover was the crime OF William n.
Bogps, He alone stole the $lO7 900 that
was unlawfully taken from the bank
Golfers.
But why this evident anxiety on the
mart of the Chronicle to defend the
Dem cratic party oi any suspicion OF o.
completely in tho crime OF Boggs? Is 1t
afraid that later developments, may
afford grounds for laying the Republican
payty open to the same Suspicion.
While Boggs is the real criminal, 1t
NAV be that he had accomplices to aid
him in disposing of his stealings, and II
this be true those lccompilces Will no
doubt be brought to the bar OF justice.
And when this is done, there il strong
probability that all will not be found to
be members Of one political party, al
though political considerations have
Nothing whatever to do with the case. -
Every Evening.
Prom Dec. 6, 1897 up TO the time OF
the return of Mr.. William N. Boggs The

the looting of the First National Bank OF

itself by calling truce on "innendo and

Obituary.

Ellis s. Harper, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. @.
@. Harper, was born at New London, Ia,
November IS, 1876, and died of append
citus at his parents home in this city.
Monday night. February 81, 1893, aged
q years, months and days.
The deceased came to Audubon with
his parents twelve years ago. He helped
his father in the photograph gallery in
his youth and attended school. He was
a good student evincing talent and en-
dearing himself to his fellow students
and to his instructors. He graduated
from the high school in the class OF '94,
being not quite Is years old. He then
taught several terms Of school in the
country, teaching at Fair View, Cameron
Center and Valley Besides this educa-
tional development he had
not neglected religious developments.
From early youth he was an attentive
Sunday school scholar. At the age of
fifteen he entered the choir in the M. E.
church continuing with it until his
death. He was secretary of the Sunday
school at sixteen and not much later was
chosen president of the local chapter OF
the Epworth League. These places he
held until he went away to college. On
September 10, 1893, he joined the Metho.
dist church on probation, coming into
full membership July 30, 1894. He was
a consecrated christian and determined
to give his time and talents to the Mas.
ter's work. In the fall of '96 he entered
Simpson college to better prepare him.
self for the ministry Last fall he passed
the examination and was licensed to
preach and would have been given an
appointment next fall il he had lived
and kept his health.
The funeral held Thursday was large
ly attended. Rev. w. II. II. Smith, OF
Lewis, toldof Ellis recent work at Lewis
in the revival, how he surprised them all
by his preaching and how he captured
their love. The last service he attended
was described and said 1.-THE last hymn he
sang was. Harvest Time, No. al
in Finest Of the Wheat No. 2
and it was sung by the choir.
Rev. W, M. Dudley then spoke eloquent
ly and beautifully Of the character of
the deceased. Rev. Shipman followed
in short sermon impressive and strong.
The services harmonized with the tender
emotions Of the audience who had come
to pay the last tribute to one they loved.
The floral decorations we're gates aiar

cross by the Sabbath school, flowers by

Ellis Harper was beloved by the whole
community and not without reason. He
was endowed by nature with fine body.
good talents and Il generous disposition.
He added to these what education cul.
ture and religion add until his personality
was admirable. The community sorrows
at his taking away ana mourns with his
relatives and those dearest to him.

The report that Consul General Lee
was assassinated at Havana came Sat
urday morning from Atlantic and made
much commotion on our streets in the
short time it circulated before the denial
came. 1t tested the temper of our peo-
pie and showed they have no love for
Spain and that they suspect them of
treachery. 1t would be easy to enlist a
company here should hostilities COM
mence between this country and Spain.
But we don't want to be excited by un-
reliable kilograms any more. Whoever
made the break at Atlantic had better
be careful hereafter.
