That prosperous institution the Scranton
State Bank has just paid to its stockholders a
dividend of "a per cent from its net earnings
for the frst4narter Of the current year, and
passed to credit Of undivided profits a frac-
ton over ~ per cent. This showing Of over
8 per cent net for the quarter proves a very
gratifying one.

OBITUARY.

The subject OF this sketch. Mrs. ELIZA ANN
BrALI. relict Of the late George Wood. was born
in Noxnbee county, Miss. june q: !eii.
She was married to DR.. VIM. I. Beall in Moss
Point, Miss. December II, ls92, and died at Tia
p. M. Sunday, March ". 1899, aged 81 years, Z
months and ) days.
The highest cnconium which can be passed upon
u human being, is not to he found in the mouIniul
dirge which walls their absence from the fieside
and the home; nor Is II to be f0ln2sfn the jubilant
doxology which sound ont the public denonstra
tons Of a congregation however numerous and
devout. But. to be known W well attested con.
sistent conduct. a CHRISTIAN. Consulting my own
hearts testimony. l can say without reserve that
Sister Beall was u Christian.
She was a woman Of shrinking mOdesty natural.
IL and excessively iimid, but remarkably cOur.
ageols in her wcll.timed expressions Of loyalty to
her Master. Not, indeed, by Haunting her profess
sions Of saDctity to the world. but by unobtru.
sively m0vi1g about among the poor and needy,
the sick aud the unfortunate. One of the piomi-
nent traits in her well poised Christian character
was her denial Of s,lf IN order TO contribute to
the comfort Of others. All classes. and many
nationalties have been the beneticiaries of her ex-
uberant kindness and Christian charity. Her
home was the preachers home. The most cordial
welcome was always extended, whether she was
sick. This welcome was not only extended to the
Bishop and his cabinet, but to the humblest
preacher in the connection. She honored the
great. but she had respect unto the meIitorols, re
CARELESS of station or garb.
She was "A woman Of implicit confidence in God
and hts promls ts. Her faith was of that genuine
kind. which satisfied the questionings of an active
inqniring mind. 1t was to her the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. y
SI6Shnderstool and treasured up the wonderful
disclosures and revcalmeuts of this yitahzing
agency in making real the things not seen. She
believed in God and in His Son Jesus Christ.
Sickness, nor pain, nor death had power to destroy
the matchless comfort of her abiding faith. The
futuIp Ii IL TO her. lS A consequence. was "A GLORIOUS
reality. On one occasion she ~protfered to take a
message from her husband to some of his loved
ones gone before.
Were | to consult my own heart p,Omptings
commend all those who loved her to the tender
mercies of that Heavenly Father whom she dc.
lighted to serve. &. A. POWELL.

Nearing the End.

The session of the legislature is
nearing the end. 1t is likely that
there will be an adjournment inside
OF ten days, The legal expiration
comes in less time than that but there
is needed short additional time in
which to make showing on the pile
OF bills that are awaiting action.
Among the important measures are
the assessment and taxation bills and
the banking bills. The state needs
some action along these lines very
badly but there is only a chance that
there will be anything satisfactory.
There seems to be feeling on the
part OF the managers Of things that
there can nothing be done to make
the people turn in the true value Of
their property. 1t is a curious fact
that while the veriest tyro knows that
the value Of personal property in the
State has been steadily increasing the
figures show that it is growing less.
The Populist senate has shown good
taste and good sense in confirming
the appointments of the governor and
while they in some cases interfere
with Populist desires there has been
a very hearty good will manifested.
1t has been on the whole harmonious
session and has brought the parties
closer together for the good Of the
State. After all, that is what we
all want and it is poor sort of
kansan who esteems party above the
commonwealth or allows partisanship
to run away with his wish for good
government. 1t is a matter of sur.
prise to some that there has been so
little trouble between the opposing
of the legislature, but it is
MI the outcome Of a more generous
ceiling and one that will, it is to be
Hoped, remain with the State for long |
1ears to come.

May Move q Town.

Inc feeling against bond payments
IN cases where people think they
have been badly used and that the
bonds were issued under false pre-
lenses is well shown in the report
that comes from Ness county. In the
boom days there went to Ness City q
smooth Spectator who made the
people believe that they could erect a
sugar mill that would pay. He talk
ed OF the outlook for sorghum and
sugar cane and wanted the town to
vote bonds for mill. There was a
request for about thirty thousand
dollars and it was forthcoming. The
mill was built but there was no OBJ
portunity to make sugar proftably
on the plains and the mill soon stood
idle.
There it burned down and there
was fight about the insurance. In
the end there was no mill and the
bonds were Of course in the hands of
innocent parties. Now the parties
holding the bonds want payment and
are asking the people to meet the OBJ
legations, But they say they cannot.
The town has but small portion
of the population it once possessed
and the valuation is so small that a
tax levy for the purpose of paying
the debt would amout to confscation.
The citizens threaten that if they
cannot have a compromise and are
not allowed to have liberal terms on
the matter they will move all the
buildings not held by lien one mile
from the present town site and start
a new town that shall at least be free
from debt. This threat was made
some time ago by the citizens of
Anthony and they got terms from
their creditors. They could not pay
their debts and frankly said so. 1t is
probable that Ness City will get
terms also.
