Obituary.

II
Margaret Eta Henry was born in
Oak Grove. Mimi, Feb. 10, 1866, and
died in Greenbush, Sept. p, after an
illness of two weeks. She was a Young
woman of excellent character, kind,
and thoughtful for the comfort and.
welfare of others. She was very dill
gent and care-taking in the home
where she will be greatly missed.
Miss Henry was modest and retiring,
and only those closely acquainted with
her knew her worth. She was an ac-
tive member Of the Epworth League
and had surrendered her life to the
service of her Savior. Her death was
unexpected and came almost without
moments warning to her family But
their loss is her gain, for she is for
ever with the Lord - Blessed are the
dead which die in the lord. . May the
God Of all grace comfort the hearts of
the aged parents and the large circle
who mourn her loss.

FRANCES e. WILLARD.
Her life poem-s fair sweet song
1t is but right rhythmic strain
Should flow melodious and strong
From harp strings tuned to grief and pain,
And swell in tones which fontest love concea.
Above the grave where pilgrims yet VIII kneei.
requiem song for her we raise
For soul pure ves'al fire,
Its dross burned out in virtues blaze,
Like silver tried in furnace dire.
Thrice purified. there was no base alloy
Which could her spirits purity destroy.
Her heart beat for humanity;
Wide as the word the love she knew;
On either side the tossing sea
Ger which the winds OF evil blew
Fighting for God and home and native land.
Her brethren were Of ali mankind,
OF swarthy hue or paer face;
In noble life she sought to bind
In one strong host the human
With purity and honor sought to bless
The brotherhood Of nan in righteousness.
GREAT soul LODGED in its fragile frame,
II burned to do more than Il could;
But this it did it made name
Forever honors wonanhood.
In labors many she with voice and pen
Stirred up the hearts and bent the wills OF men.
With all her strength she bravely strove
For freedom and the rights Of all
Freedom from sin and letters
BY customs old which soon must fall
At fee Of tyranny her gauntlet flung,
Like knight Of old, while her defiance rung.
But twas the woman sweet and good,
The gentle soul, whose power was strong;
The loving heart which understood
And bled at every cruel wrong.
II was the woman, gracious, pure and true,
Who ruled all hearts and all hearts to her drew.
Her work Is done, her voice is still
The magic OF her presence gonej
Sad eyes may we'll with tears fill
Through mist may look to see the dawn
The dawn she sought OF that most perfect day
when right shall be and wrong shall flee away
But let her rest from labors long
And rest in peace as she deserves;
Let love her mem'ry crown with song
While time the fame she preserves.
And grant TO her, o Lord. eternal rest,
That she who died in thee may thus be blest.

death of Mr. Henry Wingate, one of
the old and esteemed residents of this
county at his home i'm Hesper town

some time with paralysis, but was get
ting better until Tuesday, when the
absent members of the family were sent
for, and he gradually grew worse un-
til death came.
Henry Wingate was born in Hem
mingfOrd, Canada, July 26, 1888. He
was united i'm marriage to Miss Charity
+. Willsie, Sept. 10, 1856, and they

had much to do in shaping the history
of Winneshiek county. A large num-
ber of friends unite with us i'm extend
ing heartfelt sympathies to the be-
reaved relatives.

The readers of The Ladies' Home
Journal are about as responsive a
clientele as any magazine possesses.
About six months ago the Philadel-
phia magazine started to publish a
series of practical architectural plans
showing how artistic houses could be
built at moderate cost. IL employed a
special architect, and his work was
certainly artistic. Besides the plans it
agreed to furnish complete specitica-
tions of each house at a minimum cost.
Thousands of people liked the plans
given and the series has been great
success for the magazine. This spring
the building of over five hundred
houses, varying in cost from $500 to
$1,000 each, will be started in different
parts of the country by Journal read
ers, in addition to over one hundred
other houses which have already been
built.

DIR. c. l.. Topliff has new local an
aesthetic which he is using i'm his den
tai business with excellent success.
Unlike the other preparations for dead
ening the gums and thus permitting
the painless extraction of teeth, this
new discovery contains no cocaine or
similar injurious substance. 1t is per.
fectly harmless and can be swallowed
without any deleterious results. The
doctor has been using it lately and his
success with it has been so gratifying
that he feels justified in its use, for he
is positive that it cannot injure the
most sensitive, and besides it renders
the extraction of teeth painless He
would be pleased to demonstrate its
to anyone desiring it.

THE MAINE DISASTER.

At $40 o'clock on Tuesday night OF
last week the United States Battleship
Maine was blown up in the harbor at
Havana. The explosion occurred well
forward under the mems quarters
where most of the crew were sleeping
and 25S lives were lost by the catastro-
phe. Since the reports of the disaster
flashed over the continent intense ex-
citement has prevailed and everywhere
the demand is made that its cause be
Investigated as speedily as possible
The large number of dispatches and
wide difference of opinion as to wheth-
er the explosion occurred from within
or without the ship renders it impossi-
bile to form any conclusions, and it can.
not yet be decided whether it was an
accident or prearranged plan of
enemies of the United States to blow
up the ship. The administration has
appointed court of inquiry, with
Capt. w. II. Sampson of the Battleship
Iowa as president, who will speedily
investigate the matter and as soon as
the facts can be learned will make its
report. If such report proves that
Spain, by any of her subjects or repre-
sentatives, is responsible, we may de-
pend upon it, prompt demand for rep
arition will be made, and it is not un-
likely that war will follow However,
the thought of American statesmen
and Americans in Cuba seems to be
that public opinion should be suspend
ed until proper investigation can be
made. The latest press reports seem to
indicate that the ship was blown up by
hostile parties, but no definite action
has been as yet taken by the govern
ment, and probably will not be until the
court ofinquiry makes its report.
The dimensions of the Maine were: |
hull, length over all, 324 feet, a inches;
at water line 80 feet; bredth of beam |
81 feet; mean draught 81! feet; dis
placement 6,64S tons She was COM
manded by Capt. Sigsbee, and had a
crew of 37S men, besides officers and
forty marines. The Maine was sent
20 Havana about three weeks ago to
protect American interests i'm that city.

Written for Public Opinion
Thou vert an hero born
And from ocean, to ocean
N1brates the echo of thy fame:
As a branch from the parent tree Is torn
And grated in the king of the forest:
-, so shall be preserved, in the hearts of men,
The greatness of thy name
Time cannot change the tenor of thy life,
Nor add one sphere TO the lustre of thy
Thou vert an hero in time of peace.
A lion in time of strife:
When the dark clouds OF war
Hung over our heads,
And the streams run red
With the blood of the dead
Thy towering form it led the van.
Giving cour1ge to the heart of the weakest
man.
Though tory born
Thy noble soul revOlted at the unjust
oppression,
When England her army and navy sent DER
To enforce her laws of over Ia xation;
Asa leopard, leaping on unsupported prey,
They were beaten and driven to England's
To King Georges great dismay,
Honored dead! In Mt. Vernons tomb doth
We only now can sing thy praise
And DER thy ashes weep.
We love the cause for which thou fought
Ded upon the field,
That freed us from q tenacious power
Ana made the British yield.
Washington, may that name be fresh
In the hearts of men,
May the day of thy birth
BE honored by them
Whose liberty was gained
BY the strength of thy will.
Peaceably sleep in thy time honOred grave;
One day of each year
from our work we will crave
To honor thy name,
Whom America did save.
