quence of experience; it's like ship

local citizens can be depended on, for
It's an easy matter to prove it. Evi-
dence like the following is beyond

Seventh avenue. conductor on the red
line of the street railway, says:
From fall until spring it was 4

the Water.
The seasons last meeting of the
Tri-City Ministerial union was held
Monday on board the steamer Verne
Swain to LeClaire, and return by City
of Winona. A goodly company of
the ministers and their wives assem-
bled to the call of the president, DR.. C..
o. McCulloch.
After devotional exercises and pre-
liminary business, the paper of the
day was presented by DR.. j. b. DON
aldson. of Davenport, on Missions. -
1t was broad, scholarly production
and one which elected much favora-
bic comment. The need of mission
airy work; the progress in certain por-
tions of the world; the comparison of
the ethnic religions with christianity
and the insufficiency of the former
were all touched upon and some fully
discussed. The discussion revealed
the fact that although local views
may be dark, yet world wide sweep
brings all to the conviction that the
world needs Christ. and He shall be
at the last triumphant in the great
battle of the ages. Neither morality,
philosophy or any number Of virtues
can save, for there is no salvation
outside of Jesus Christ.
The return to the city was spent in
social converse and was much enjoyed
by all. The meeting in Novem Der

meeting with new experiences in their

novel happenings yet reported befell
Engineer Frank Hilton and Fireman
George Boyd on engine 1910, of the

train No. 16 from Galesburg to Peoria
last Saturday morning. The train
leaves Galesburg at 10 o'clock. 1t
was little late, and was bowling
along close to sixty miles an hour

suddenly the engine plunged into a
dark greenish cloud which doomed up
ahead. In an instant the cab was
filed with buzzing, singing honey
bees. They were imPacted against
every exposed spot and fell dead in
countless numbers. One of the
bees struck Engineer Hilton on the
chin, but was knocked off before he
could do any damage. The front of
the engine was sight. Dead bees
covered almost every square inch.

COFFEE DID 1T.

Coffee Oh how l did want it after

One morning came to breakfast in
the home of some friends in Pueblo,
Col. Just in time to see the mother
pouring some rich deep yellow coffee
into mugs for the two little bows.
One little chap had thrust his fingers
in the mug and was licking them with
such approving smacks. This opened
the way for me to say, Are you not
afraid of the effects of coffee on the
little folks?" The mother explained
that it was Postum Food Coffee made
at Battle Greek, Mich, and remarked
I'VE think there is nothing like it. -

gives. One day l was speaking with

''Yes, mamma we are out of Postum,

mornings and it always brings the
tired feeling and troubles my stom-
ach and bowels, but Postum makes
me feel all right"
In one home they served Postum in

times five minutes, and sometimes
ten, is nothing more than spoiled wa

The pleasure boat. which had been

ing and Just as the craft was backing
out from shore it was caught by gust
of wind and blown against the wheel
of the Winona, which was anchored at
the foot of Nineteenth street taking
on coal. The Winona's wheel
was turning and when the
little boat ran into it the latter
was lifted over on its side, taking in
a large quantity of water. Mr.. Nc

onto the bottom of the boat and receiv-
ed the full benefit of the wet contents.

NATHANIEL WELLS.

Nathaniel Wells died in Brandon Jan. 3 of
Pneumonia and heart disease, aged Il years.
We feel that n few words relative to the
character, sickness, and death of Mr.. Wells
may be of interest. He was born in Crown
Point, n. " where he passed the g,eater
portion of his life, ana was known by all as an
upright, sober and Industrious. Christian
citizen. He served in the war of the re
bellion, enlisting in 1852 as member of co.
H. 9Th New York volunteer cavalry, acquit.
ting himself with bravery to his country ana
fidelity to his commanding officers He was
married in ls65 to Miss Lavina Hartwell, OF
Westport, \. Y! To them two sons were
born, Ross II. and Herman VI, both of whom
reside in Brandon. 1t will be remembered
by many of our Towns people that Ross II
Wells came here some twelve years ago ana
was in the hardware store of II. L. smith X
Co, aud later Allen Calhoun as clerk, and
hither his parents removed from Crown
Point and thereby kept their home circle
complete, resi- rilinE for several years on
Court street. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wells VIII
be remembered Y many old friends. They
w-re members of the L. church ana ever
faithful in attendance at worship. Five
wears ago they removed TO Brandon, sim
following the fortunes of their sons, to whom
they were very devoted parents, and only
last spring returned to their "ld nom, where
Mrs. Wells died very suddenly OF paralysis
six months previous to the death of the
husband. Mr.. Wells partial invalid
with heart trouble, and the sudden death OF
the wife was such a shock to him that he was
never as wei afterward. He had made his
home with his sons SINCE his wife III *d, and
was confined to the house but few days
Wnen ueatn came. lie was n great sufferer,
but bore ii all with patient Christian for
titude. He was a member of the G. A. post
here and also in Brandon and the members
| of the post attended the funeral in Il body
and had charge of the funeral service at the
grave Two days previous to his death
| 81 symptoms OF pneumonia developed anu he
sank rapidly. His physical distress was
great but in and through 1t all he was buoyed
| by the hope of soon resting In a "mansion"
prepared for the faithful followers of Christ.
and the deceased was surely of the faithful
ones. On the day previous to his death his
pasiOr, Mr.. Rulison, was standing by him
when with look of triumph he cried, 81 am
going home" This sentence he repeated
three times during the day. He retained his
reason until the last and passed peacefully
into rest, leaying behind the assurance that
with him "all was we'll" The funeral
services were largely attended from the
home of his sons in Brandon on sunday, Jan.
| I, at 30 y. m. Rev. Mr.. RulsOn Officiated
and the remains were placed in the vault in
| Pine III i'll cemetary to await n time when they
NAV be safely removed to Crown Point and

| lot at that place. Y.
