OBITUARY..

J. B. Douglass, son of Samuel and
Rebecca Douglass, was born near
Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio,
Aug. %, 1S41, and fell 'asleep in
Jesus" on Friday night, Nov. II, 1899,
aged So years, months and 25 days.
On Jan. 4, 1867, he was united in
marriage with Barbara Millar, daugh-
ter of Rev. Jacob Millar, also of Logan
Co. In two short months this happy
relationship was broken-typhoid fever
claimed her as it's victim-but the sweet
memory of it remained with him during
all the years which followed. His mar
riage with Mary Rice, which occurred
on February %, 1871, was happy one.
For nearly twenty-nine years "they
walked together in sweet accord"
To this union was born one son,
Millar Henderson, who, together with
his mother mourns the loss of one
whose place can never be filled.
The deceased moved to Hardin coun-
ty in the spring of II, and had made
it his home ever since.
He united with the United Presby-
terian Church inJanuary, 1879 and had
lived consistent christian ever since.
He loved his church, was loyal and true.
About the last thing he expressed de-
sire to have done, was a matter of in
terest to her. He was q member of
family of ten children, seven daughters
and three sons. Three sisters had pre-
ceded him to that beautiful home
above. To him, the call to ''come up
higher" did not come suddenly. For
over year he had been a patient suf-
ferer.
Consumption did it's work slowly but
surely. To those who were permitted
to visit this servant of God, he spoke
with calm composure of the home be-
yond,' to enter which he was so ready,
just awaiting the masters bidding.
No murmuring, but confident trust
ing that ''for some wise purpose" the
Lord kept him here. The funeral was
| conducted by Rev. j. c. Roe on Nov.
Goth and his remains were laid to rest
in the Norman cemetery. His friends
sorrow not as those who have no hope,
because those that "sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him."
"The morning sun rose bright and clear
When thine had set upon us here,
To shine more bright in yonder sphere
Farewell, we'll meet again"
81 stood beside thy silent bed,
Thy marble brow was cold and dead,
Thy gentle soul was fied-was fled
| Dear friend, Wen meet again."
81 saw thee in thy narrow rest,
| The clods upon thy coffin pressed,
My eyes dropped tears, yet in my breast
God said, Wen meet again"
"Yes friends smile thro' all your tears,
| A crown OF life your darling wears,
| The grave shady porch appears,
To where Wen meet again"
"The precious dust beneath that lies
Shall at the call Of Jesus rise,
To meet the bridegroom in the skies
That day we'll meet again" y

RAIN.


Like billows Of inverted seas
The gray cold clouds hang low,
The writhing boughs of trees wind lashed
Toss madly to and fro;
The drip and beat of sullen rain
In rhythmic cadence fall
On mist blurred pane and Gchened roof,
While loud the wild winds call
The drip and beat of falling rain
The hoarse winds moaning call
They come to me like voices sweet
That pain and unrest thrall.
Afar the brown fields seem to lie
Beneath the tempest's beat,
With patience mute that knows it's this
Will make their blooming sweet.
Afar the hills against the sky
misty, dark wall run;
Their rain fringed crests seem reaching up
To find the hidden sun.
And faith and hope within my heart
Look up as do the hills
To find their sun beyond the storm
That all the present fills.
What though my fields seem waste and bare
What though my skies seem drear-
Ny heart has planted precious seed
In thos. iields brown and sere,
And trus, ing God who knoweth all,
/ patient bear the beat
OF presents storm that he hath sent
To wake their blooming sweet.

Big Cycling School.

The biggest cycling school in the
world is in Paris, where cycling school
has been recently established in cir
cular building, now christened the
"Palais Sport. /" The building was orig
inally used for the military panoramas
of the celebrated painters, Detaille and
De Neuville, representing the battles of
Champigny and Rezonville. The lower
stories have been transformed into vari-
GUS waiting, reading and dressing
rooms, while private rooms have been
provided where learners can escape the
eyes of the curious while they are ac-
quiring the art of controlling the ma
chine. A spiral pathway extends from
the main floor to a point near the apex
of the roof, divided into two paths. The
ascent is very gradual, about 21s in
100, the total height being 36 feet. The
length of the course is over 1000 yards.
A high screen accompanies the track on
each side, and it has been painted SO as
to produce the illusion of rural scenery
for the journey. Spacious accommoda-
tion for spectators is also provided.
The Morris County chronicle., 1899-03-31

Much comment has been occasioned
in Chicago club circles by the decision
of the Illinois Golf club to exclude
women from membership. "The Illi-
nois, explained member, twill be a
golf club exclusively and not country
club. We will not have any women
members, as in other local golf clubs,
and no woman will be permitted to play
on the links except when accompanied
by club member, and then only ON
certain days. The club will be entirely
free from social features and will be
strictly stag. The experience of some of
our members who belong to other Chi
cago clubs has been that where women
are permitted to play they generally
monopolize the links, and not alone are
the men prevented from playing, but
they are forced to sit on the club We
randas and entertain the women who
visit the clubs and who do not play
golf. T"

Lawn Tennis.

A practical suggestion to advance the
interests of lawn tennis doubles is made
by Palmer E. Presbrey. "It is to be re-
gretted," says Mr. Presbrey, "that
more attention is not given to the dou-
BILE game. The element of team play,
which is such an incentive and pleasure
in many kinds of sport, is entirely lack
ing in singles. This tendency to too
great individuality in the game can be
offset by the development of doubles.
To encourage doubles begin earlier /;
give them a standing in the schools as
well as in the colleges. Hold inter-
scholastic doubles as well as singles and
let the winners of the several inter
scholastic tournaments play off for the
championship at Newport. To encour-
age players to pair off early in the sea-
son l would suggest that the double
game be made as prominent in the col
leges and clubs as possible, especially
in the spring tournaments. Players
who practice together and take part in
college or club tournaments are likely
to play together throughout the sea-

New Jersey Roads.

New Jersey, under her state aid
road law, has expended $685., S26. 05
for good roads. Of this amount there
has been spent south of Trenton $265,
465. 69. There has therefore been more
money expended in the northern than
in the southern counties of the state
North of Trenton $50 miles of roads
have been built and south of Trenton
174 miles, the southern counties getting
more mileage for the money than the
north. This excess is owing to cheaper
construction, about Al miles south hav-
ing been built of gravel. With the ex-
ception of a few miles in Monmouth
county the roads north of Trenton have
all been built of stone.

Long Drives.

A cricket bat can drive cricket ball
a good long distance. but a baseball bat
can send baseball a longer distance
A lacrosse stick, backed by the right
man, can hurl the solid rubber lacrosse
ball still longer distance, but the
golf stick beats them all. In this regard
Golf says of hit made in 1898: in
the matter of the longest drive ON rec
ord. that of F. g. Tait-811 yards
inches holds the field. in virtue of en-
tirely trustworthy evidence and in
view of the fact that its precise length
was determined by scientific measure

almost universal use for horses that hog

ing the fulcrum of this lever, while the
power is exerted at the projecting lower
end of the framework, where the check
rein is attached. By shortening or
lengthening the checkrein it is possible
to keep the horse's head at the proper
height. and the lifting force of the chin
strap effectually prevents the animal
from cramping his nose in close to his
neck.

HuNr1NGToN,s LONG REACH.

The San Francisco Examiner says
negotiations are on foot between c. P.
Huntington and President Cabrera Of
Guantemala which, II consummated,
will result in the building Of 100 miles
of road in Guantemara, by means OF
which the little southern republic will
have an overland line from the Pacific
TO the Atlantic. Mr.. Huntington al
ready OWNS a road in that country. 1t
runs from San Jose, a port IN the Pa
ci1c, to the city of Guantemala, a dis
lance OF seventy-four miles. 1t has an
important branch running from St.
Maria north to Patulul through a rich
coffee district. The railroad cost about

ton will probably cur control Of the
government road from Puerto Barrios
to St. Augustin and a Zine between
,Ghamperico and San Felipe. By join
ing these properties with his system,
Mr.. Huntington would control the
transportation problem in Guatemala.

COAL GOES TO EUROPE.

large steamship owner has received
overtures from American agents to
carry American coal to Europe at
from II shillings to IL shillings freight

North of England coal merchants

merican coal trade to European ports
that formerly took English coal.
U. P. DECLARES DIVIDEND.
The directors Of the Union Pacific
have declared a dividend of ~ per
cent on the preferred stock, which Is
the same disbursement as that Of six
months ago The directors stated that
the dividend was payable out of the
surplus earnings of the six months end
ing December 81. In view of the Fact
that the present management has been
in control OF the property for scarcely
a year, and therefore without n basis
in experience for determining any fair
average of results in unequal years, X
was deemed prudent To rimit the pres
enS distribution Of earnings to a divi-
dend OF ~ per cen on the preferred
stock at this time.
1t was stated that the management
proposed TO make permanent improve
ments IN the property, and the expen-
ditures for this ccoun during 1898
and allotted for 1899 appreciate nearly
5 9 1000, 900, equal to IL per cent on the
outstanding preferred stock. The inn
provements were Of an, extraordinary
character, and were extraordinarily
charged to the operating account.

GREEN RIVER SODA.

MI. A. D. Whftby who has peen here
the past week investigating the soda
propositions departed for Chicago Sum-
day, where he will meet the parties in
whose interestY he was sent out here
and make mis- report. While the gen.
tleman was very reticent in regard to
expressing his opinions there ia no
question but what he made a very close
examination, after maline a test OF the
soda both as to its qualify and quaint
ty he spent considerable time in look
ing up the other articles that are
necessary for the man ufacture OF caus-
tic soda, such as lime rock and coal.
The have been quite a number OF
gentlemen here since the soda was
found and we have in no instance heard
that there has been an adverse report,
and we are satisfied that the examine
ton that has been made by Mr. Whitby
cannot but add to favorable reports
that have been already made on the
commercial value OF our soda. Mr..
Whitby made many friends while here
and they all Join us in wishing that
he would come to Green River and
make it his future home.-Green River

ANOTHER CABINET OFFICER.

Congress will soon be called upon to
pass a law creating a new cabinet port
folio. This official will probably be
known as Secretary of the Colonies.
1t will be his duty to look after the well
fare of the islands that were seized by
the United States in our war with
Spain. While he is attending to his
duties, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will continue to attend to its duties of
curing the sick of stomach, liver and
kidney disorders, just as it has been do
ing for fifty years. Its greatest virtues
are in building up rundown systems;
in quieting and tonang unstrung nerves;
in overcoming dyspepsia, indigestion

Many people get cramp in the stom-
ach from eating honey, and more than
one death has resulted from this cause.
Others are made violently sick by the
smell of apples, and a patient of the
writer's has often averred that even the
sight of beet root seemed to suffocate
him, while another had to give up
drinking milk because it produced in
tense inflammation of the eyes.
Many kinds of fish cause serious i'll
ness. HOLSTERS and crabs produce most
painful itching in some people, and the
writer has known several who after eat
ing salmon felt a horrid taste in the
mouth, and sCnn after suffered so badly
from headache as to Ee compelled to go
to bed.
These latter are the extreme instances
Of injury from food, but they prove that
thousands of people suffer in q less de-
gree, and that probably no IL can
lunch or dine without swallowing some
