A telegram came to Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Ramser yesterday announcing
the sad news of the death of their son,
DR.. Marc Ramser, ut FL Paso, Texas.
His health began to fail about two years
ago, but a change of climate did not
produce the result that it was hoped
it would, and the information that the
family had received of late from DIR.
Ram ser was anything but encouraging.
DR.. Ramser was born in Rock Island
% years ago. He was a specialist in
diseases of the eye, ear and nose, and
was rapidly winning distinction for
himself in his profession when over
taken by the malady that claimed his
life. His death will occasion deep
sorrow to all who knew him. DR..
Ramser several months ago was home
on visit. He was accompanied on
returning to FL Paso by his brother,
Eugene, who remained with him until
the final summons came.
The remains will arrive from Fl
Paso Thursday. The funeral will be
private and Will occur in the afternoon
of that day.
The funeral of William F. johnson
occurred from the residence, S29 Sew

children and many others interested
in the school. The children were all
there, looking pleased and expectant.
They sang some little songs and
recited pieces, and by these efforts as
well as by their good behavior,
did their teacher credit. The room
was darkened slightly, and in a corner
was the gay Christmas tree. All
about it were arranged the pack
ages, which suggested that Santa
Claus had been there. Suddenly,
with great ringing of bells
he appeared in most festive attire.
He was q little in advance of the sea

was certainly in great form and dis

A 81. Louis doctor insists that lying
is Q disease which can be cured, If the
disease has been caught. but not ii it is
hereditary. That doctor is right about
the last. Lying that has com down
from father to son for two or three gen.
erations is like Q spawn or r%ingbone; it
can be bIistered down but never cured.
Even conversion and baptism aud . re-
ception into the staseliest kind OF .

hereditary liar. This is IS true OF
women % men. We believe. indeed, ii
is more 60, because the male liar fire.

money on 1t at all /; aud II others are Of
the same opinion, or don't Jump" or re-
locate it, he can save all assessment work,
take his chances as 10 relocation and not
do anything. When he gets ready TO work
the claim he will have as good q title" to
II (if it be not relocated) as though be had
put Sf00 or 81, 900 worth Of Improvements
on il each year. he might do required
annual work for ten years, and II be miss
cd one year he would have no better title
than II he had never done a stroke on ii.
However. il . claim is worth holding ii is
worth patenting and developing. particu-
larly the former, and the better way is to
get a u. 8. title to a mining claim as
speedily as possible. II the owner should
want TO sell, government title is a great
