In ls4s Mr.. Bellamy came to Iowa

By his death the wife has lost beloved

hear the songs Of His love.
Dearest father thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel
But we know that cd bereft us
OF the one we loved SO we'll.

Holm BRIGGS KELLOGG.

In the death OF John Briggs kellogg
his family is bereaved of a loving, de,
voted member, and the community Of
an intelligent, Industrious, upright
young man.
He was born in Leon, Decatur Co.,
Iowa, July %, 1879, removed thence
with his fathers family of which he
was the youngest child, in the spring of
1880, to Rosita Colorado. and thence in
June, 1889, to Provo, Utah, where he
died on June IL, 1901.
Well developed physically and APP
parently strong, he worked in the mines
near Provo, at any early age. In the
spring of 1899, he had severe attack Of
pneumonia and since that time his
health has been subject of concern to
the family. The memories of the last
three months are a preei Gus treasure !.
He was so considerate, so loving and
patient. His lilness did not take an
alarming turn until June IL, when in
tiamation of the stomach and bowels
and nervous shock, perhaps the effect
of mineral poisons to which he had
been exposed. There was better
hope than that of more earthly exis-
tence to cheer the dying man and sus.
tain those left behind. He spoke prec-
ious words to those at his bedside and Of
brothers who through failure lin means
of communication reached home only
for the funeral. stShall wegather at the
river" was sung beside his grave.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of NJ. A. Hogarty Of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning yell
low. His skin slowly changed color, also
his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy, and he writes: CATER

A thousand times

This curse to me:
Confound the thing
Why do they look:
Why do they stare:
Why do they pant?
Why do they swear:
My rule is this,
In warmth or freeze:
always aim
And strive to please.
Why lots of times
They're feeling fine
Until they see
This face of mine.
And then they gasp
Its ninety now"
And wheeZe and puff,
And mop the brow.
1t is my fault,
They always claim;
And on my head
They put the blame.
When winter comes.
With ice and snow,
They look at me,
And murmur "Ohr
They stamp and swear
Whenever they see
Me taking in
My mercury.
And when it gets
WAY down the line.
They rant again
The blame is mine,
Now why is it
] get the hooks,
And draw naught else
But angry looks.
Why do they scoff
And glare and jeer,
When I'm up there,
Or way down here:

Why do they keep
Me hanging rounds
There is no fun,

THE FISHER MEMORIAL.

The announcement of the erection of a
monument to the memory OF the late
Judge George p. Fisher. Of this State,
ought to be good news, particularly to
the Republicans of Delaware. Judge
Fisher was one Of the early Republicans
Of the State, was one of the men who
abjuring all partisan politics in the days
OF the nations peril became the patriot.
He was q man Of magnificent presence
and of splendid mental powers. His
loyalty, zeal and ability early attracted
confidence Of President Lincoln who APP
pointed him to the bench Of the United
States District Court for the District of
| Columbia. President Lincoln was not
often mistaken in men, and we regard
his personal respect for and commenda-
ton of Judge Fisher as conclusive evil
dence Of the high character Of the man.
This Judgment Of the martyred President
comedies with what we knew of the man.
| We knew him, trusted him and loved
him. lie was a Delawarean through
and through as he was an American; and
he was Republican. He had bitter op-
lponents, enemies who not only judged
him narshly, but who slandered and did
their best to injure, and if possible, ruin
him; but no one ever discredited or i'm
lpeached his loyalty TO his country, his
State and the party whose principles he
lespoused. Misfortune came to him. and
sorrows fell all about him in his old
lage, but none of these things chilled his
heart or dulled his brain. To those whc
had fortunately won his heart he was al
ways the same generous, sincere friend
and when the full truth Of his career il
known his faithfulness to his friends vii
cause his name to shine with the lustrt
of refined gold, George p, Fisher is ont
Of the names which must live in Della
wares history. He was one Of the mer
to whom, forgetting his faults and re
membering his virtues, Delewarean
should build monuments.

LITTLE. NASTY POLITICS.

AS an exhibition Of the littleness pos
sible in partisan-factional politics, the
garbling reprint of Major Carson's letter
to the Public Ledger, about Delaware
politics, was unique. The And-Addicks-
lite local papers cut all the Majors favor
able references to the Union Republican
side of the controversy out Of the version
OF the letter, showing particular and ven
omous spite for Colonel Barnard, be-
cause he happens to be the Union Repub-
lican candidate for collector Of port.
Major Carson was fairly just to Colonel
Barnard and the Union Republicans, ad-
mitting the claims Of the party as that
of the majority of the Republicans OF the
State, and also admitting Colonel Bar
nard's personal claims TO the appoint
ment as a loyal and earnest Republican
worker. his personal fitness for the place.
and his preferred claims to the recogni-
tion of the President as an ex-soldier Of
long service, good record and honorable
discharge.
These things the Anti--Audicksites could
not repeat. They were too near the
truth, too much like fair play in good
Republican politics, for them. They
have long ago decided to allow nothing
of truthful commendation of Union Re
publicans to get to the public il they cal
avoid it. The whole Of their politics i
to damn Addicks" and to make sur
that they make no mistake about it the.
damn everybody who ayow themselves t
be his friends. 1t is this for which the.
condemn Colonel Barnard They dar
not say that he is not honest, they can
not say that he is not capable, nor ca
they say tnat he is not Republican
but refusing to say that he is homes
capable and Republican, they refus
to say what is true and favorable to hil
because they do not like his politics.
No more disgusting exhibit Of littl
narrow politics has been made in this cit
than the mutilation of Major Carson
letter about Delaware politics in orde
to injure Colonel Barnard and discred
the Union Republicans; but that is Ant
Addicksite politics.
