The ides OF March brought sadness
and sorrow to the home OF our dear
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben O. johnson,
for that sad day death entered that
happy family and took the jewel OF
the household. Matte, dear sweet
Matte, lie dead. Like fair, fragrant
flower, her life had shed the sweet
perfume OF q pure loving heart all
down the beautiful pathway che lived
and walked--warm-hearted, lmpulsIve
and pure. None knew her but to love
her. Like some sweet messenger OF
mercy, she seemed TO have been sent
from better world to be bright link
In q chain Of love and to bind the
inmates of that happy home closer,
still closer, to Him whose many happy
mansions await their coming. He
who wept with Mary and Martha did
not take Matte away from US, but He
can and will lead US up to her II we
will let Him. "The taste OF that for
bidden fruit which brought death into
the world and all our woe" never sent
. sadder sorrow upon that beautiful,
happy home. But as in Adam all die,
30 in Christ shall all live. Her life was
q sweet Christian life. For 25 years
she frightened and blessed her earthly
home. Her gentle spirit now awaits
that sweet home of the soul where she
will live forever. In the beautiful
white casket In the parlor at home as
she lay in pure white upon her bed
OF roses and lilies, her fair face and
form seemed more fit for heaven than
earth. Farewell, sweet girl, farewell.
A FRIEND.

ABOUT IRMGARD WHARF.

Mr.. EDIToR:--I wish to call at
teDtion through the columns OF
your paper to grave mistake that
has been made in the matter oil

wharf. I saw something about
this in your paper the other day
but there is more to be said.
There are five vessels now along.
side the Irwgard wharf. The
Alden Besse is at the end. That
vessel was forced to stop discharg.
ing at 8 a. m. yesterday for the
reason that it was impossible to
get the freight out. Now then,
the point is just here. Where is
he use Of that 80. foot extension
of the wharf authorized by the
Cove, nment. Vessels at the end
might rs we'll be out in the stream
as of old. In fact, they would be
much better off for then no wharf
age charges would be demanded
The government has made q very
grave mistake and one that can
not be easily corrected.

CORONER,S IN CONFLICT.

Two InQuests May BE Held on Body
Dismembered by Train.
Galesburg, Ills, July 17.-When the
fast mail train pulled in here Saturday
midnight Engineer Frank Bullard
found on the pilot the body of a man
who has been identified as Mike Nc
Laughlin, of Philadelphia The body
lacked the legs, which had been sever
ed at the pelvic region as clean as
could have been done with a surgeons S
knife. The body was tightly wedged
into the pilot. Yesterday the legs were
discovered on the track west of Ke-
vance. The coroner here telegraphed
Kewanee for the legs, but the coroner
of Henry county declined to surrender
them, saying that the inquest should
be held in the county where the acci-
dent occurred.
The coroner here holds that the in
quest should be conducted in this coun-
ty, where the body was found. At
present 1t looks as If two inquests
would be held, although Marshal Hin
man has gone to Kewanee after the
legs, the Philadelphia relatives hav-
ing wired him to take charge Of the
remains.
How the accident occurred is a mys-
terry, as Bullard knew nothing Of 1t un-
til, when oiling the engine, he found
the mutilated trunk When the man
was struck the train was going 70
miles an hour, and the pilot hit him
with such force as to cut the body in
two.

THE bankers of Philadelphia ex-
press themselves as emphatically OPP
posed to the suggested plan of having
special examiners appointed in the
banking districts to supplement the
work of the regular examiners,
Their objections are based on the
uselessness of having a man un-
familiar with banks business and
the character of the commercial paper
it handles attempt to investigate its
affairs and also on the injustice it
would work to all business men hav-
ing relations with the bank by un-
necessarily exposing their accounts
and paper to the scrutiny of out
siders.
