OBITUARY.

Margret Ann Lorick nee Kaigler,
was born December 23rd, 1917, and
finished life's work F February 1S, 1900,
making her life on earth 80 years,
1 month and 25 days. She was
married to Samuel T. Lorick Sep
tember "a, 1885, who preceded her
to the spirit land. This union was
blessed with two sons and two daugh-
ters; one son, both daughters and
a grandson went before her.
The subject Of this notice was a
life long member Of Zion Evangelical
Lutheran church. She not only pro-
fessed the name of Christ, but by
her walk and conversation showed
that she followed him. Hers was
a living faith, hence the church and
community will miss her, but our
loss is her eternal gain. She leaves
one son, seven grand children and
seven great grand children with
many friends to thank God for her
long and useful life, and to weep
around her grave as she was laid to
rest in the family cemetery. Her
funeral was preached by the writer
from Numbers 25:10. j. A. G.

weak solution of quinine. This has
been proved by experiments made on
many persons. Common coffee was
said to be water; it was also said to
be quinine. Water was said to be
coffee. Tea was called coffee.
Turkey was called pork. Raw apple
was called grape juice. Malt extract
was sherry wine. Lard was pro-
nounced butter. In short, expert
enced persons were unable to dis
tinguish many common foods and
drinks when sensations of smell were
removed, and the conclusion was
reached that person might even
practice economy in eating by merely
blindfolding the eyes and spbstitut-
ing lard, pork and beef butter, turkey
and venison, while if the further pre-
caution was taken to close the nose a
very weak solution of quinine would
pass for good coffee and vinegar for
the most costly wine.

Kentuckians Forget the President
Has Trouble of His Own.
Frankfort, Ky, March 17.-Gov.
Taylor spent the entire day at the
Executive mansion today in confer
ence with Republican leaders, chief
among whom were John W. Yerkes,
of Dsnville, and D. W. Lindsay of
this city. It is understood that a
memorial to President Mckinley ask
ing him to intervene and take hand
in the politicalscontest was the sub
iect of the conference, but as several
of those called to the conference did
not arrive, the decision was not
reached as to the exact terms OF the
message that will be sent to the Pres
ident. Governor Taylor refused to-
night to talk about the appeal to
President Mckinley, but it is stated
that the Governor has expressed the
desire for the assistance of a small
body of troops and also for support
in the way of recognition OF him as
Governor.

Col. Jack Chinn's Valet.

Dallas (Te1) News.
The dispatches say that Colonel
Jack Chinn was with Geoble when
the latter was shot, and that, dis
daining the stream Of bullets which
continued to come from that myste-
rious window in the State House, he
leaned over and ministered as best
he could to the wants of his friend.
Colonel Chinn is known all over the
United States as one of the best race
starters in the country and man OF
unquestioned personal courage.
Colonel Jack Chinn's knife" a
murderous looking blade, is pretty
we'll known. It is said Chinn never
permits this weapon to leave his pos
session.
Several years ago Colonel Cbinn
visited Texas. He brought with
him a negro valet, Sam. This negro
bad been slave in the Chinn family
before the war began in the States,
and idolized his young master. One
night while in Houston the darkey
came to Chinn and said:
"Massa Jack, Use goin' out in cul-
lud society heah tonight, an I'd like
to borrow dat ivory handled six
shooter of yours to take along"
why, you black rascal" returned
the Colonel, ''some of these Houston
coons will take that gun away from
you and break it over your head"
The darky Strengthened up. Like
his master he was a man of unques-
toned nerve, and there was pecu'
liar glitter in his eye as he said:
"Massa Jack, you let ma hab dat
gun, an if I don't show up here wild
hit in de mawnin' you can 80 down
to de morgue an throw down de
sheet an say: 'Lawd! don't he look
natcherl!'
Colonel Chinn's body servant was
that night armed in manner that
entitled him to move in the best
circles Of Afro American society in
Huston.

ting himself and his friends out OF
d fficulties. It happened one day
that a cousin of his had incurred the
czar's displeasure and was about to
be executed. The latter, therefore.
presented himself before his imperial
majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar'
divining his errand, cried: 1T is no
good to come here. I swear 1 will
not grant what you are going to ask. "
Immediately the jester went down
on his knees, saying, II beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp
cousin of mine to death"
The czar, thus caught in his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon
the condemned man.

ENGLAND JUBILANT
Over the War Situation in the
South African Rehublic.

Progress Of Both Military and Polit-
ical Events Favorable Beyond Ex-
pectatior- Destruction of Johannes
burg by Beers Not Considered
Llkely-President Kruger Has
Been Warned.
London, March, l6, 5a. m.-Events
are moving in the South African
campaign in speedy and satifactory
manner, from both the military and
political points of view. 1t could
be expected by the most sanguine
Englishmen that they would take a
turn SO favorable.
1t appears that when Maj. Weston
cut the railway north of Bloemfon-
tein he thereby intercepted General
Joubert, who far from retiring from
the campaign, was then coming south
ward with 5000 men, presumably to
superintend the defense. Elaborate
defense works three miles long had
been prepared outside the town.
No Beer wounded was left in Blo-
emfontein. When asked the reason
by Lord Roberts, Mr.'Fraser replied:
The burghers do not like fish, and
wouldn't care to 60 to Cape Town"
The evidence goes to show that so
far as the southern part of the Free
States is concerned there will be no
further resistance. It is understood
that Mr.. Fraser, Mr.. Vessels and.
other leaders are quite prepared to
accept the position Of a self-govern-
ing British colony.
The cheers which greeted the
reading in Parliament yesterday of
the correspondence with the United
States are reechoed throughout the
country. The speech Of NJ. Dslcase
has increased the satisfaction, and,
taken with the general belief that
Emperor Nicholas is personally averse
to any Intervention, these incidents
spread the idea that there will be no
further attempt to interfere from any
quarter.
Mr.. Montague Whites threat in an
American newspaper that the Beers
will sacrifice johannesburg and raze
it to the ground if necessary, is not
taken very seriously.
Mr.. Chamberlain's statement that
President Kruger has already been
taken is not credited. The Times
suggests that the burghers should
be warned that their farms will be.
taxed as a guarantee against any
damage to British property, but no
serious spprehensions are entertained
of such conduct as Mr.. White is said
to have foreshadowed. j. B. Robin
son, the millionaire mine owner, says
be does not think the Beers would be
so foolish.
By the time Lord Roberts reaches
the Vaal river be will command some
$4,000 men, while General Butler will
have 10000. From the military
point of view the critics now think
there is nothing to fear.
