Benjamin Harrison.

The whole country has been greatly
stirred by the reports which have been
coming from Indianapolis Of the serious
illness of ex-President Harrison. From
the first, Notwithstanding the courage
of the sufferer and his confidence that
he would survive what he called "only
slight brush from which he would re-
cover" there has been an apprehen-
sion of fatal issue of the illness. He
had been soldier of the Union army,
serving throughout the war. He had
risen to the rank of general, and even
the men who passed the fiery ordeal of
battle, the physical hardships and mep-
tai tension of that titanic struggle, con-
tributed to their country some essential
part of their vitality. When disease
has assailed them the weakened citadel
of life has been the more easily carried
by reason of the absence of that unseen
contribution of vital strength. Again
and again, in the long death roll of the
generals of the civil war, from Grant to
Harrison, dying before their time, has
this fact been exemplifed. Harrison
was but sixty-eight, and there are
thousands of men no older who to-
day are reasonably looking forward to
many years of active participation In
the affairs of life-in business, the pro-
fessions, and in the public service.
Benjamin Harrison was one of the
eminent men of his times. He had
been a soldier in the Union army in the
war of the rebellion, attaining by his
capacity for command, his courage and
military skill, the rank of brigadier gen.
eral; in civil life he became eminent in
his profession, the law, and in politics
his State intrusted him with its COM
mission in the Senate of the United
States; his countrymen chose him for
their President in 1888, aud his party a
second time nominated him to the pres
idency, but his countrymen committed
the deplorable mistake of failing to
choose him again; retiring from public
life he was often the recipient of great
trusts, an arbitrator in disputes be-
tween nations, in church and general
affairs the powerful exponent on the
platform and in the periodicals of ideas
which appealed to his conscience and
convinced his judgment. Every one
may not have agreed with him in his
later views on matters of national pol-
icy; he may have seemed to be in.
f1uenced in some of his conclusions il
certain matters of national concern by
other considerations than those which
impelled him when the responsible ex.
ecutive OF the national will, bat his
ability and power as an advocate, his
integrity and patriotism, were always
recognized and his utterances never
took on the red hue of sedition.
General Harrison came of distin
guished lineage, his ancestor, Benja
min Harrison, whose patronymic h'
bore, being member of the Cont
mental Congress and signer of tn,
Declaration of Independence, and hi
grandfather, William Henry Harrison
an eminent soldier of his country ant
it's fourteenth President.
Benjamin Harrison was nominate,
to the Presidency, after week of ar
dent conflict, by the Republican ma
tional convention of 1883. Mr.. Bain
was the choice Of large number of tn
delegates, but he had emphaticall
waived aside an honor that might hav

There's Health IN

Strong nerves They are the fountain
from which flows all the energy, all the
strength and all the vital powers of the

to the step springiness, to the eye
brightness and to the mind clearness that
they can get from no other source. If you

From BelIeyieW.

Ed. Register-We are now experience
ing one of the greatest drouths We ever
before experienced at this early period
of spring. It has been nearly six
weeks since We have had q sufficient
quantity of rain to thoroughly lay the
dust. In many places where corn was
planted three or four weeks ago, the
grains OF corn have not terminated,
are as dry as they were when first
planted.
Meadows and oats are already dam
aged badly, and cannot possibly ex-
coed a half crop, while wheat appears
to be standing the drouth quite re-
markably well. Pastures are actually
drying up" and IN many places,
water is getting scarce.
Though the prospects at present to
the average farmer are somewhat
gloomy, it is yet to be hoped that,
within a few days, We may be blessed
with an excellent rain.
