word for every one, and helping
hand for the sick, the weary and
the disconsolate in his midst. In
1891 he was happily married to
Miss Emma Wallace, of Marshfeld,
Mo-, coming at once to Vinita, in
the Cherokee nation, Indian Ter
ritory, having selected it as his
future home. For several years
Mr.. Ming was engaged in the
hardware and furniture business
in Vinita, and at the time Of his
death was running furniture
establishment. God blessed his
union and added TO the happiness
Of his married life son, Chris
topher Ming. and q daughter,
Martha Leila Ming. In 1899 he
built comfortable home in Vini-
ia for his family, surrounding them
with all of the comforts of life and
preparing place for them and for
himself in bis old age. No man
was ever more happily married
and his affection. for his wife and
children was tender and strong.
He was never happier than when
at home with his family playing
with his children. His devotion
to his father and mother was
beautiful to see, and he never
spoke Of them but in the most en-
dearing terms, and he loved his
brothers and sisters with the love
of a child, and was never known
10 falter in his friendship for
friend. He was an active member
Of the Knights Of Pythias order,
and about a year and half ago,
openly and in the presence of men
and angels, he declared his faith
in Jesus Christ. the son of the
everything God, and dedicated his
heart, and consecrated his life to
the cause Of the Lowly Nazarene,
and became a consistant, active
member of the Methodist Church,
South, in Vinita. During the time
he lived in Vinita, his life was to
US as an open book, and no man
ever heard him say aught against
his fellow man, nor heard his
fellow man say anything unkind
of him.
But God had marked him for a
higher life-God had chosen him
for another world-God had seen
his fruits and judged them, and
had whisperedto him, "Well done
thou good and faithful servant, en-
ter thou into the joys of thy Lord"
He had been in failing health for
a number of years before his
death. Early in the spring of
this year, ere yet the SHOWS Of
winter had melted away, he was
seized with a violent and lingering
attack of fever, holding him bed
fast for nearly three months.
Through this sickness he was
patient and kind, hopeful and
gentle, loving and good, enduring
pain and confinement without a
murmur of complaint. Rallying
from this attack he grew strong
enough TO journey back to the
green hills and fertile valleys of
his beloved Washington home, to
the yellow cliits Of the mighty
Missouri that winds across the
State that bears its name, through
the rich farms Of Franklin county,
back TO the village Of bis youth;
back to the scenesofhis childhood;
back to the dear old father and
mother and to the happy meetings
with loved brothers and sisters,

LAFoLLETrE FOR GOVERNOR.

It is neither fitting nor necessary to
indulge in Mysteries on the nomination,
by reclamation, last Wednesday of
Robert NJ. La Toilette for Governor of
Wisconsin. On the other hand, it is
not, from any point of view. incumbent
upon the republicans of our state who
for six years have, with unparalleled 10y
atty and fidelity, supported and believed
in him to repress the natural and proper
qualification. exuberant though it may

unquenehable faith in his adhesion
to principles which are demonstrably
for the interests of the whole people, his

Americanism,
The principles emblazoned on the
banner Robert NJ. La Toilette held aloft
have not and never will be forsaken by
him They are right and just and part
of himself and being true to himself he
cannot be false TO any man.
The reluctance of the cid republican
guard to accept new men and new
methods is natural and in measure
laudable. Respectful and kindly, even
deferential consideration is their due.
They have borne the burden and the
heat of the day in the battle field, forest
and forum and whilst new national re-
sponsibilities and ever varying condi-
tons call fox that patriotic energy and
untiripg devotion of which young man
hood Is alone capable the claim of the
old guard must noe be forgotten
La Toilette is the last nan to forget it,
Pathetic and dramatic was the nom

are quite heavily wooded.
1t will grow upon every soil not too
wet, but prefers loan fairly sandy

to it, as in such soils it roots so lightly
that it is easily thrown out by the
action of the frost. On suitable soil
it is a vigorous grower, and in this
respect is surpassed by but few. 1t

Yellows is a highly contagious, in
durable disease of the peach. Trees
affected with it should be destroyed at
the earliest possible moment by uproot-
ing and digging them out and burning
roots. trunk and branches, including
fruit, on site. No remedy save that has
proven successful. Dragging diseased
trees or branches through an orchard
will infect healthy trees. Late summer
and fall are the most favorable times
for detection Of yellows by symptoms
of fruit and twigs. These are: l. Pre-
mature ripening of the fruit, which is
highly colored and spotted and has the
flesh marbled with red. 2. Premature
unfolding Of winter buds. 3. Abnor-
NAL development OF new buds in the
