EngIand's Brutal Job.

President Kruger's last word to the
American people through the World
and Rost-Dtspatch is pathetic and in-
spirlug.
Announcing the failure of the effort
of the Transvaal Republic to secure
arbitration and the consequent out
break OF the war, the grand old man
of South Africa adds:
The Republics of the Transvaal and
Orange Free State are determined that
If they must belong to England price
will have to be paid which will stagger
humanity. / have. however, full faith
that the sun OF liberty shall arise in
South Africa as it arose in North
America.
These words strike a responsive
chord in the breast of every true
American. They recall the struggle
and sacrifices of our fathers for freedom
from the British yoke. They are the
words of the representative of sturdy
people who are determined to be free
and TO sell their lives dearly in the
fight for independence.
Great Britain has brutal job in

Money Is Cheap. !"

Republicans claim that a sign o
prosperity exists in the fact that ''mon
ey is cheap"
They mean by this that one can ge
ali the money he wants at from TO
per cent. interest if the proper collat
eral is given.
with the total sum of citizenship who
can furnish that necessary collateral?
The ''cheap money" will not come
out of the bank unless the security i:
supplied.
Real estate under the gold standard
has fallen in value from so to IS per
cent.
In fact. every form of property, ex-
cept money and bonds, which bring a
fixed income in money. has fallen in
value because the measure of value.
gold. has appreciated.
Therefore, if the average worker on
a salary or owning deprecated proper
ty. if he wants to borrow must do so
on personal property at a cost of from
) to 10 per cent. interest a month.
But. even il the average man could
borrow this money at per cent. a
year he could not invest it In property,
under the gold standard. so as to make
profit over the interest. Therefore.
money piles up in the banks-becomes
cheap and like most s'cheap" things is
useless for the general good.
But, in reality, money is not cheap.
The use of money is cheap because
there is nothing that will pay as an in-
vestment. but the money itself is dear
-dearer every day. Try to purchase
81, 900 with city lot. The result will
be the discovery of the fact that land
is cheap, but that money is exceeding
ly dear. This is the kind of prosperi-
ty the republicans prate about.-Ch,-

Obituary.

1t is with sorrow, but sweetened by
hope that we chronicle the death oil
our friend, Ada Parks. wife of Frank
Parks and daughter of j. ID. and Rushie
Lambert.
After al illness of only a few days
she quietly and peacefully fell asleep
at her home at Lestervllle, Mo-. Octo-
Der I'd, 1899. aged y years. She was
born in Reynolds county and most all
of her short life was spent IN this
county and IN our own community, at
the fathers home on Imboden. Only
one short year ago she was married to
Mr.. Parks. They had but recently
moved to Lesterville. Little did We
think when she last visited US in our
home and we clasped her hand at the
door and looked into her healthy, ,smil-
ing face, that when We would next
look upon her, she would be in the
cold embrace of death. No, no, We
were not aware of the death angel that
was even then lowering about her.
None but God knows why she was
called away. Everything was done
for her that loving hearts and hands
could. Two able physicians we're
called to her aid. Her suffering must
have been intense. but she bore it so
patiently, she was scarcely heard to
murmur.
She was faithful, devoted wife. a
dutiful daughter, an affectlonate sister.
and always cheerful and obligiDg to
her many friends. Truly, death
loves shining mark She did not
leave as clear an evidence of her spir
itual condition as was desired by all
as she had never made an open con
fession of Christ, out she had often
publicly expressed a 6esire to be re-
ligious and lately had conversed with
her husband on the subject of religion.
and said she wanted TO be a Christian,
and who knows but as she thus SER
iously meditaied, God wrought the
work in her heart necessary to the
salvation of her soul; perhaps within
her heart she said, Il will turn away
from my sins; / will accept the prom
ises of Christ and lead a new life"
For while she did not express any
fear, aud her face after death did not
wear the expression of one whose
vision as IL ctosed upon ali Inas was
dear in this world. had opened on
anything but peace aud Joy in the next.
Husband, father aud mother, broth
ers and sisters, and friends. If she was
taken from US as warning. let Us ac-
cept it. Let US strive more than ever
before to serve God with our whole
hearts, and be ready when the sum-
mons comes to each of US, TO meet
dear Ada, where there will be no more
pain, no more cruel open graves, and
no more tears to shed.
ssThough cast down, we are not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone,
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy viii be done !"
A FRIEND.

South Africa. She will find herself
cut of from the sympaty of every
friend ofliberty in her attempt to crush
two republics in war of greed. She
will feel the force of the public opin-
ion of the civilized world
The spectacle of the crushing of two
weak republics by the armies of Eng
land will be the more distasteful to
Americans because it is done with the
consent and countenance of the United
States Government. The President
refused to offer mediation or to say a
word.in favor of peace-St. Louis P-D.

papers, was erroneous We feel safe in
asserting that Mr.. Wilson's statement
lad practically nothing to do with the
action Of the local health authorities,
or. at least. had only 4 small auxiliary
influence in the matter. In fact .hc
determination to quarantine against
Norfolk WAS practically reached before.
the board was aware that MIR Wilso,,
had removed his family. There was
excellent reason FOR bclievin. that Nor
folk and Portsmouth had taken .un.;
chances Of becoming infected Win

In watching q flock Of wild ducks
ayinR over our heads we seldom stop
% consider at what remarkable speed
they are travelling. Saturday morning,
while returning from business trip
to Chicago, Elmer Shank called the
writer's attention to flock of these
migratory birds flying not far overhead
and in q direction parallel with that
Of our train. They tapped steadily
along, apparently not losing or gaining
a foot Of space for a considerable
length of time, and when last noted
were still keeping up to the exact
speed of the train. An examination Of
our watches showed the speed Of the
train to be forty-four miles per hour,
which speaks very well for the
strength Of the ducks wings.-Mount

Of 100 feet the bullet penetrated only
