one of Col. ingersolIs most celebrated
patriotic addresses was delivered in this
city on Memorial day. 1888. In his perora-
ton. picturng the future Of the United
States. he said:
Il see our country filed with happy
homes. with firesides of Content-the fore
most and of all che earth.
Il see a world where thrones have Crum-
bled and where the kings are dust The
aristocracy of idleness has persisted from
the earth
Il see a world without slave. Man at
last is free Natures forces have by sci
wind and wave. frost and flame, and ell
are the tireless toiers for the human race.
Il see a world at peace, adorned with
every form of art, with music's myriad
voice thrilled. while lips are rich with
words of love and truth; world on which
the gbbets shadow does not fall; world
where labor reaps its full reward, where
work and worth 90 hand in hand: where
the poor gir trying to win bread with the
needle-the needle that has been called
the asp for the breast of the poor'-is not
driven to the desperate choice of crime or
death, suicide or shame.
Il see a world without che beggar's out
stretched palm, the miser's heartless
stony stare, the piteous wall of want the
liVid lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn.
Il see a race without disease of flesh or
brain-shapely and fair-the married har-
mony of form and function; and. as look
life lengthens. joy deepens. love cano-
pies the earth, and. over ali in the great
dome, shines the eternal star of human
hope.

chief object in the visit TO Virginia C'iX,
was to see the wonderful underground

THE GRIM REAPER
Calls to Their Eternal Reward Several
Of Our Citizens.
MHs. LEAH WHEELER.


Mrs. Leah Wheeler, an old resident,
died ct her home on Decorah Ave-, on
Thurrday evening, Of Tuberculosis,
complicated with old age. The maid
en- name.rf the deceased was Klontx.
She was born in Bucks county, Pen
nsylvania, in 1875. At the age Of ten
shS moved to Ohio; here she lived for
fourteen years. 1t was while living in
Ohio that she was married to Mr..
Brown. From that state in 1849, Mr..
and Mn. Brown moved tc Iowa,
toyniHg in = wagon. Travelling fiftJ
years ago was quite different from
what it is today. Then it was no
small task to move q family from
Ohio to Iowa. When the civil war
threatened the destruction of the
United States, Mr.. Brown responded
to the call for troops and gave his life
in defense of the flag. Subsequently
Mrs. Brown was married to Mr..
Wheeler who survives her. Never
robust, Mrs. Wheeler has been very
feeble for the last six weeks. Con-
scious to the last, she passed quietly
away on Thursday evening. She
frequently expressed desire to depart,
and was often found praying! She
was . member of the NJ. E. church.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon at the Russell school house,
the services being conducted by Rev.
]. w. Allen, pastor Of the Baptist
church, burial in the cemetery near
the school house. Four children be-
sides the aged husband are left t.
mourn her death. **#

THE WAY OF THE TRANsGREss0R.

Charles Raen, the young thug who
robbed and nearly killed Michael
Treacy in st. Paul q few weeks ago,
was sentenced on Friday to eight
years In prison at hard labor. Since
his arrest he had played the role Of .
"bad man." strutting about the jail
and looking down upon criminals Of .
lower degree, plying them because
they were not more wicked than he;
but when the trial ended and his sem
tence was pronounced. he broke down
and cried like . baby, begging for
mercy. OF this class Of criminals the
Diepabch says:
Tue proper treatment Tor this sort Of
dementia b strict discipline, close con-
dneunent and hard work. There 10 no
pity to be wasted on such young ruf.
hans - this, and the quicker the
romance II taken out Of him In the
chain gang the better It will be for
him and for society. Too many young
fellows Of this cla9s ere growing up
with the taea that work is only hall
Veepectable and crime only half wrong.
They avoid labor as . pestilence, seek
pleasure ut an0ther's expense, and
naturally fall into crime as . conse-
Quence Of idleness. Then, when their
evil doings bring them tn justice, they
whine and plead ard show what n
|Wut cOvardgthey are. This one was
brave 6nough to creep up behind his
victim and fell him with . blow on the
head that, for all he knew, would end
in murder, bat he was too much the
craven to take the punishment he de-
served like the man he had proclaimed
himself. The young rufiian, In his
personal capacity, is worthless, except
as an object lesson to others and an
example that should be . warning to
young men. Every man must earn
his living. To some God has given
talents that may win place In the
higher walks OF life. but to all he has
given hands that will earn bread and
faiment. Penury or crime must in
evitably prove the reward Of idleness,
and when the latter is deliberately
chosen as the alternative, the former
follows, TOO. This young fellow gets
eight years Of hard labor for his two
weeks Of "pleasure." THE way of the
transgresaor is hard"

THAT STORM.

Clarksou, May 13, (Spec-
ial. )-Such a destruction
was never known here as
that caused by the rain and
hailstorm which struck us
recently. Everything look
ed promising before the
storm. Some had plowed
their corn while some had
cotton ready to work. Since
the storm no cotton eau be
seen; just a few stems with
the top knocked off by the
hail, are visible. Beautiful
gardens of all kind of veget-
ables and flowers are ruined
and the shrubery in the yards
are stripped of all their
leaves and blooms. We can.
not describe the conditions
to one who has not Seen
them.
No one was killed but
some were badly bruised by
the hail, D. Ford had a COW
killed by a tree falling on
her during the storm. VIM.
Harrel had a calf to drown.
Twenty wen window lights
were broken out by the hail
at Clarkson. ]. B. Morris is
not able to peddle on account
of a swollen hand, 9. II.
Sims and others are damaged
by the washout during the
storm, Birds were found
dead and some crippled,
Men and boys have been busy
since building fence and
water gaps. Many wheat
crops are badly damaged and
some ruined, Among the
most damaged are those of

Here is what Bill Nye has
to say of the Individual who
refuses his paper:
A man may use a wart on

collar button; ride on the
back coach of a train to save
interest on his money until
the conductor comes around;
stop his watch at night to
save the wear and tear; leave
his "i' and 1t" without a dot
or cross to save ink; pasture
his mothers grave to save
corn; but a man of this kind
is a gentleman and a scholar
compared to a fellow who
will take a newspaper, and
when asked to pay Tor it,
puts it into the post-ollice and
has it marked Refused"
