A HORRIBLE FATE.
Panther, Torn Limb from
Limb and Devoured.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. A Cart
wright (Wis.) special to the Times
says: An eight-year-old daughter Of
c. f. Riley, a farmer living about 1G
miles from here in the Mad Brook set
Element was carried away by huge
panther and devoured. Only few frag-
ments of the remains could be found.
The girl was walking in the road near
the farm when the beast sprang from
the woods and, taking the girl in his
huge jaws, carried her into a swamp,
where she met a most horrible death,
being torn limb from limb. The few
scattered remains were gathered up
and buried. The community has or
ganized in panther hunt, and the
farmers will not lay aside their guns
until the brutes are exterminated.
Since they started out panther meas
uring ten feet from tip to tip has been
shot and two other large ones have
been seen.

WHITE GIVEN TEN YEARS.
Heavy Sentence Passed on Ex-Quar'

Lansing, Mich, Dec, 4.-Gen. w. l..
White, of Grand Rapids, eX-quartermas-
Ter general of the Michigan national
guard, Monday pleaded guilty to the
charge of completely in the state mill
tary clothing frauds and was sem
fenced by Judge West to ten years in
prison.
After a plea of guilty had been en-
tered by the clerk, Gen. Whites at
torney presented a petition signed by
400 citizens of Grand Rapids, urging
that the utmost leniency permissible
under the law be exercised, on the
ground of Whites previous good rec
ord, the fact that this is his first Of
Tense, that financial restitution for the
frauds has been made to the state, and
that White suffered greatly during the
year he spent abroad in exile while
under Indictment. After private con-
sultation with White, Judge West took
the bench and said that no showing
had been made to mitigate Whites Of
Tense. The judge declared that he be-
lieved White was the principal in the
frauds, and sentenced him to ten years

Conclusion.
In our great prosperity we must guard
against the danger 1t invites of an ex-
travagance in government expenditures
and appropriations; and the chosen rep
resentatives of the people will, doubt
not, furnish an example in their legisla-
ton of that wise economy which in sea-
son of plenty husbands for the future.
In this era of great business activity and
opportunity caution is not untimely. 1t
will not abate, but strengthen, confidence.
1t will not retard but promote, legitimate
industrial and commercial expansion.
Our growing power brings with it tempta-
tons and perils requiring constant vigil
ance to avoid. 1t must not be used to in
vite conflicts, nor for oppression, but for
the more effective maintenance of those
principles of equality and justice upon
which our institutions and happiness de-
pend. Let us keep always in mind that
the foundation of our government Is lib
erty; its superstructure, peace.

IN MEMORIAM.

Lines in memory of our mother,
Polly s. Bennett Smith, who depart
ed this life November 4, 1900, aged
20 years, month and 8 days.
A heavenly home is yours, dear
mother,
Though we craved a longer stay;
Faith sees you now in Jesus arms,
Where all tears are wiped away.
They laid you in the earth, de ar mother
Though our hearts were sad with
grief;
We here may weep, but you are gone
Where night is turned to day.
When home again we go dear mother,
And at the altar kneel and pray,
The thought will come Of YOU beyond,
When night is turned to day.
We e'er shall miss You here, dear
mother,
How sadly we cannot say.
We know you have a better home,
Where all tears are wiped away.
For a moment death divides us,
But when we have crossed its gloom
We shall then be resting with her,
Evermore at home. ~

paralysis. She suffered constantly, but
with patience and without a murmur.
The Savior called her home. She was
waiting and ready, and Tuesday, Nov.
20, 1000, she closed her eyes on the
earthly things TO open them and to view
the beautiful blessings prepared for such
as she over the River Jordan. None
can wish her back. She is now happy
at home with her loved ones. She leaves
to mourn her loss one son, two daugh-
tiers, four brothers and six grandchild-
rem and host of friends. Her children
rise and call her blessed. Funeral
