He was an heroic man. For weeks
and months, through days of deathly
languor and nights of weary ,wakefulness
he faced death and never faltered. With
a quiet courage he gathered together the
scattered details of his affairs and ar
ranged them for his departure. He
sought even in his death to avoid injury
10 his kind, and asked that inevitable
dissolution be hastened by cremation.
He looked calmly into the future to pre-
pare for the comfort of his faithful wife,
the happiness of his two gentle daught-
ers, the usefulness of his growing son.
Not yet an old man, with almost third
of mans allotted life unlived, he was
called upon for its REIMBURSEMENT. He
complied, with what yearnings of
heart who can tell? About him the
friends of lifetime the wife who for a
generation had shared his pleasures and
helped to discharge his responsibilities,
the gentle daughters just blossoming
into womanhood, the boy entering upon
the rerilous period of youth every day
demanding a fathers love and care; yet
he resigned his life peacefully and un'
complainingly, facing heroicly that
blankness which marks the borderland
of life. Let US hope that in another
world where the virtues of this reach q
higher perfection he has already begun
a yet more perfect life. Let us believe
that the spring time of the year in which
his spirit passed but typifes the spring
time of an eternal life for which hi:
living so fully prepared him. The body
racked with pain and wasted by disease
is now no more but the spirit which
was the truer man still lives to ami
mate and inspire all who knew him.

PASSED BEYOND.
A Tribute to the Life of Darius Reid
Whose Death We Chronicle.

For months our people have been anx-
iously watching the failing strength of
Darius Reid. On Wednesday the sad
word passed from mouth TO mouth that
he was dead, and while the end was not
unexpected tho expressions of sorrows
and of sympathy were universal. No
better man has ever lived among US. No
more heroic spirit ever faced lifes end.
Born in Almont township, Lapeer
county in lS4l, Mr.. Reid would have
been fifty-seven years of age had he
been spared until July. A farmer by
birth and training, he for a time wan
dered away from the fields and their
harvests and was employed in railroad
ing, buying grain and teaching but for
quarter of a century he has followed
his fathers calling, in Arcadia township,
having owned and developed one of the
finest farms tributary to Alma. He en-
joyed educational advantages somewhat
ABOVE the average, for his generation,
and possessed a remarkably clear and
active mind, delighting in the closest
thinking and revelling in the best of
books. Constant reading and thought
had stored his mind with knowledge
and the details Of business and his good
common sense had transformed the
knowledge into wisdom. Few men were
better counselors or safer guides.
Mr.. Reid was an honest man through
out an active career, honored with
private trusts and public duties, he
passed in and out among his fellows
without a stain upon his character or an
aspersion upon his honor. Neighbors
and friends felt the stability of his
character, fathers directed the attention
of sons TO him as a worthy model by
which to build, and young men looked
to him to point the way in times of per-
rlexity and doubt. In every way he
realized their need in his life.
| MIR. Reid was a modest man. Pos
sessed of rich, broad acres, his mind
stored with varied information and
active beyond the minds of many, hon
ored, respected and trusted, he moved
among us as the simplist of our citizens
demanding no recognition, manifestinp
no self appreciation, and receiving un.
consciously the dearest boon an honest
man can crave, the respect and honor
of his fellow -meni

Base ball Galore.

The baseball diamond on the campus
was the scene of another spirited con.
tests this week. In spite of the fact
that several players from both mines
have gone to fight the Spaniards, sub.
stitutes were appointed and the teams
continued to play ball" Tuesday the
reserves met the Shepherd team and
with them their defeat, the score at the
end of the seventh inning, when the
time of day obliged them to quit, being
eight TO six in favor of she visitors
Shepherd was lucky enough to score
three runs on pass ball. Comparatively
few hits and errors and fair play on botl
sides characterized the game.
The first team plays the return gam,
with Mt Pleasant Normal in that city
tomorrow. Monday they go to Ann
Arbor 20 meet the Varsity" nine. Tn,
management of the baseball interests
are disappointed that the games on the
home diamond are not better patronized
The outlook Is the best it has ever beer
and merits all possible encouragement

ANOTHER CONVICT ESCAPES

John Davis. a Negro Boy. Ran the
Gauntlet Yesterday, at the Pen"
Anotheregarden scene was enacted at
the penitentiary yesterday morning, in
which negro boy convict named John
Davis proved the star runner and the
guard chump.
1t appears that this convict profted by
the escape of the two white prisoners
two days before while the guard did
not.
The penitentiary garden lies just south
of that institution and is tended by the
convicts under guard. The potato crop
is now being harvested and squads of
convicts are taken there for this pur-
pose.
Yesterday ten conyicts were taken out
to the garden by guard named Steel.
: In this lot was the negro boy, Davis.
This was about o'clock. The men
had scarcely settled down to hard work
when Davis made a dash for liberty.
Ponton. the gardener, was also there,
and was first to notice the disappearing
Davis. who was doing clever piece of
sprinting. He drew out his pistol and
fred three times at the negro, with about
as much effect as an exploded pop-crack-
err The guard finally brought his gun
into action. He also discharged three
shots, with about the same effect as the
pistol shots; however. to the credit of
the guard. he thinks" one of the shots
took effect, as the negro stumbled and
slapped his hand on his thigh. Neverthe-
less the negro kept on running and made
his escape.
The escape was made known to War
den Russell, who telegraphed for blood
hounds. These, he said, would be put
on the trail of the negro.
John Davis is about Is years of age
and was sent up from Wilson county, to
serve a ten-months' sentence for lar
ceny. He has only been in for about
two months and has been in the hospital
the whole of the time with the exception
of few days.

Celery
Makes People Wei.

The one true specific for diseases arising
from adebilitated nervous system is Pane's
celery compound, so generally prescribed
BY physicians. 1t is probably the most re
markable remedy that the scientific research
of this country has produced. Prof Edward
E Phelps, M. d, l.. l.. n, of Dartmouth
college first prescribed what is now known
the world over as Paine's celery compound,
a positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness.
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
Paine's celery compound has succeeded
again and again where everything else has
