A Stricken Home.

From parties who arrived from Hill
day evening we learn Of a bereavement
that has befallen Mr.. and Mrs. George
Coates Of that place, the intensity Of
which cannot be realized by anyone
who has not passed through a similar
experience. Their only daughter, a
little girl four years old, wandered away
from home Saturday and became lost,
and when found was frozen 80 severely
that she breathed her last Immediately.
From the Rapid Journal Of the 9th inst.
We CLEAN the following particulars:
"Near the Coates home resides George
Kidney, with whom little Gladys was d
great favorite. She was in the habit Of
going to his house and spending a part
Of nearly every day. She had been
with him Friday, and went over again
Saturday. Mr.. Coates had some apples
stored in Mr.. Kidneys cellar and the
little one made two trips home, each
time carrying some apples to her moth.
er. Inc last time Sne was Seen WAS ny
Mr.. Kidney when she left his place.
Nothing strange was thought by him
when she did not return for he suppos-
ed she was at home, and no apprehen-
sion was felt by her parents because
they thought she was with Mr.. Kidney.
Finally, as it became late and she did
not come home inquiry was made and
it developed that she was at neither
place. Search was instituted, but to no
effect. Neighbors turned out to look
and they hunted far into TIE night.
Early in the morning they began again
and finally, about noon, the little one
was found nearly fvo miles from her
home. Her feet, ears, hands and face
were frozen and she WAS unconscious
The heart beat family when she was
first foun,l, but 1t was only for a mo.
ment. What the poor, lost little darling
suffered during those long hours Of wan
dering in the darkness and cold will
never be known, but that can be imagln.
ed.'
The funeral was held at Hill City
Monday afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Coates
are reported as almost beside themselves
with grief.

We are sorry to announce that our
public schools were closed Monday
morning by order Of the local board Of
health on account Of d%iphtheTia. We
trust the disease may not spread and
that the regular work Of the schools may
be resumed in a few days. 1t is learned
from those who have visited the schools
recently that the work in all depart
mcnts is progressing nicely. AS the
year advances a marked improvement
in discipline and study is plainly seen;
and all things go to show that the schools
are well managed throughout. The at
tendance is usually good. This may be
kept up to the end of the year if par
ents will take the interest that is due
and see to it that their children are
kept in school. While we have Il good
school let all of us show our apprecia-
ton by trying to make it better. Teach
ers and pupils alike need encourage
ment in order that they do their best
work.
