paralysis last Friday morning was
noted in our last issue, without a
struggle and rs one fatigued from

peacefully to rest The members
of the family, and Mrs Z Hunter
and several other friends were
watching at her bedside when the
summons came and her sweet
spirit winged its flight from its
mortal tenement. Mrs Miller had
been an invalid since she was
first stricken with paralysis in
january 1896. She partially re
covered after some months of
suffering hut in the Spring of
1898 was visited with another
stroke which was followed by a
third stroke in December last
She again recovered the use of
her limbs sufficiently to walk
about in the house and on the
premises, and last Friday morn,
inc had walked out into the gar
den, accompanied by one of her
daughters, when the fourth and
final stroke came suddenly 1pon
her. Her daughter finding that
she could not raise her mother up,
said "wait minute, I'Ir;run and
get papa. "Hurry," she said,
and this was the last word she
ever spoke. From the time she
was removed to tho house until
the moment of her death she con!
tinued speechless and helpless. In
death smile came over her face
so like the smile with which she
always greeted her loved ones and
friends in life. "Blessed are the
dead who die IN the Lorl."

public appreciation which have ever char

mend to congress that a special medal Of
honor be given to the officers and soldiers

Grass Widow Sues Her Divorced

KANSAS CITY. Mo, July 90 = Mrs
Blanche Davis today brought suit against
her former husband, r. H. Davis, for
$4,000, because he did not keep his prom
Use to remarry her after he was divorced
from her. Davis Is a wealthy liquor
dealer, and secured a divorce from his
wife in the fall of 1897.
Mrs. Davis alleges that shortly after
the divorce was granted TO Davis he be-
gan calling upon her and protesting that
he still loved her. She says he courted
her as earnestly and fervently the sec
ond time as he did the first, and that
she yielded to his entreaties and agreed
to a second time become his wife.
She says that when the wedding day
arrived he postponed it, in the meantime
giving her money for her support and
wooing her still. Finally, she declared,
he ceased his visits and refused to keep
his promise to remarry her.
Davis side of the story is that his Wis
its to his former wife were for the pur-
pose of talking over business matters in
which they were both interested, and
that he never asked her to marry him
after the divorce was granted.
