WKBB HHYEs is one of the sons of dis
tinguished sires, who won distinction
because he earned it in the Spanish
American war. Gen. Shafter said he
was of more assistance to him, although
he was only volunteer aid, than any
man on his staff. He was on the fight
ing line, at the front, when shells and
bullets we're flying, and was wounded
And after the Santiago campaign, he
went to Porto Rico, when he was again
under fire. He couldn't help being
pure gold, with such a father and
mother as he had.

Her Heavenly Father Called
Her.

Ann Whitehead, the daughter OF
E imund R. and Rebecca A Whitehead,
was born June 6, 1864 at the homestead
near Bellefontaine, Ohio. She died
Oct 26sh, 1898, at the same residence,
aged thirty four years, four months and
fourteen days. She leaves to mourn her
sad loss, her mother, three sisters and
two brothers.
Her father and one sister de-
parted this life several years prior to
her death. The illness which proved
fatal began some ten weeks before the
grim reaper of death made its appear
ance known. She suffered, but without
complaint. Her only worry seemed to
be for the welfare of her loved ones,
that che felt she must soon leave.
While up to ten days before her
death her friends did not consider her
dangerously ill, she seemed to think
different. She seemed to feel that she
was fast nearing her end. She was con-
scious and rational up to within few
days of her death, and even during these
days while her body was racked with
pain, and her mind was wandering il
delirium, there would be moments
when she would recognize her loved
ones for a short time, and just few
hours before her death, she uttered he
last words on earth by calling for he
mother.
: While she was still in possession Q
her mental faculties and her mind wa
clear and bright, she talked to he
= mother and sisters. She told them tina
the end was not far away, and she tel
that she could not recover. She CAV
evidence to them of the bright prospet
she had, as she felt that she was nearin
a her heavenly home. She was calm an
talked about matters of interest to he
o mother and sisters in her usual manne
a She sent messages of love to her de'
4 ones that were not present, and r
n quested that they be true to their tru
and meet her in Heaven.
q In the last hours as we sat by b.
bedside, watching her life ebbing ava
# and feeling that the angels that be-
n the golden sheaves to Heavenly garn
v were very near and waiting to gather
q the harvest of one more precious Chris
. ian spirit we could not help b
" think as we watched her breas ting Il
IS raging storms of death with her fri
bark, floating helplessly on the foamil
n. tide, soon she will anchor in HEAVIER
u harbor, soon her soul will be releas'
from the frail bark that now holds
L soon she will clasp the hand of lovi
Christian father, soon she will be in t
= embrace OF darling angel sister, 30
% she will meet all of her many de
r. friends that have gone before, soon 8
will be leaning on the breast of Jes,
beckoning to her dear loved ones q
10 left on earth to come to her.
She sailed on hfe's rough dark waters,
When the storms were raging high,
10 But now she is anchored safe in Heaye
r. bright harbor;
ed She is at home in the sweet bye and bye.

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or
other local applications. Catarrh is a constitu-
tional disease, and can be successfully treated
only by means of constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly puri6es
the blood and removes the scrofulous taints
which cause catarrh. The number of testi-
monials from those who have been cured u
catarrh by Hoods sarsaparilla proves the un-
equalled power of this medicine to conquer
this disease. If troubled with Catarrh give
| Hoods Sarsaparilla fair trial at once Him

The proposition to enlist Is 900 Span
ish soldiers in the American army in
Cuba, and put them over the Cubans, to
keep them in subjection, is so repug-
nant to all sense of right and courtesy
that we cannot understand how any
American could think OF it. Enlist the
Cubans, employ their army if necessary
but put no Spaniard on guard.
