Eli Templin.

Eli Templin, youngest son of Terah
and Esther Wilson Templin, was born
near Hillsboro, o., April 1st, 1920. In
1894 he removed with his fathers fam
lily to the farm near Marshall where
the remainder of his life was spent.
In 1S42 he gave his heart to Christ
and united with the PRESBYTERIAN
Church at Hillsboro and his whole af-
ter life was living testimony to the
saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
On December 1Ith. 1874, he married
Nancy n. Gibson. To them were born
seven children. three sons and four
daughters. The three sons preceded
their father to their heavenly home.
while the wife and four daughters re-
main to mourn the loss of a loving
husband and father. In 1851 he. with
thirty-three other members of the
Hillsboro Presbyterian Church. living
in the vicinity of Marshall. were or
! ganiZed into church to be known as
the Marshall Presbyterian Church.
At its organization Mr.. Templin was
elected and ordained deacon which
office ne served well. In 1853 he was
ordained ruling elder, and in 1864 was
chosen clerk of session. in which ca
pacity he served faithfully to the end
of his life. He enlisted in the Civil
War and served a short time. AS
citizen he was above reproach. as
friend he was true as steel, as a coun-
selor he was safe. He was faithful
in all he did as a worker in the church
and Sunday school. a strong advocate
of temperance in word and work and
heartily devoted to every good cause.
He was a devoted Bible student.
great reader and thinker. and thor
oughly interested and informed in re-
gard to the advancement of the cause
of Christ both in home and in foreign
lands. He had the simple faith of a
child and all his Christian life looked
"to Jesus as the author and finisher
of his faith and on his death bed he
said Il know whom | have believed
and am persuaded that he is able to
keep that which | have committed
unto him. He expressed desire to
depart and be with Christ which is
far better" and frequently repeated
these words which is from the 1st
Epistle of Peter, but the God of all
grace who hath called us unto His
eternal glory by Christ Jesus after
| that ye have suffered awhile. make
you perfect, stablish, strengthen. set
tie you. To Him be glory and domin-
ion forever and ever, amen" For
weeks his health had been failing and
later pneumonia developed. All that
medical skill and loving hearts and
hands could do was done. but God saw
best to take him home to Himself.
He passed away peacefully on the
: evening of December Goth, 1900. His
: funeral on Saturday, the 29th, was
: conducted by Rev. H. n. Faulconer,
= of Hillsboro, assisted by Rev. NJ. NJ.

Wilmot packed his suit case that
night and saw to his razors, so that
he could eat his breakfast and rush out
in the morning without any unneces-
sary delay. He prides himself on be-
ing able to wake up at any minute
that he likes, and he set his mental
alarm clock for six, but for fear of ac-
cidentS he also borrowed one of the
everyday nickeled variety from his
landlady and set that at six o'clock
after carefully testing it and regulat-
ing il by his watch. In .he morning he
sprang out of bed with Il horrible fear
that he had oversight, and, looking At
the nickeled timepiece, found that it
was AS.
For few moments he stood with
heavy eyelids. drowsily considering he
advisability of going back to bed and
trusting to the alarm. Then he dis
missed the weak thought and stag
gered to his bath. That woke him
up and he shaved and dressed in a lei
surely manner and went back to his
room and looked at the clock, 1t was
5:l5. He had thought it must have
been six at least.
Raising the window shade he looked
intoI street, hoping to see the yellow
glare of the gas lamps contending with
the light of dawn, but as far as ap-
pearance went it might have been mid
night, so he pulled down the shade
again and tried bread. The book, how
ever. was dull, and presently he dozed
in his chair. He awoke with start
to look at his watch, and found that
he had not yet put it on.
Good thing | didn't put my faith in
that alarm" he said. ITS missed fire
Dr. else it wasn't loud enough to wake

AS he started for the bedroom the
clock went off with crash and bang
and jingle that made him jump. He
recovered from the shock and ran in
to look at the erratic thing. The hands
indkNed six o'clock. Still uncon-
viHced, he took his watch from under
the pillow and looked at it. Six o'clock.

ETcHED WITHIN HER VIOLIN.


Az sweeps thy bow its quivering strings
Thy violin sobs low or sings,
And softly rustic angel wings.
Meshed in the halo of thy hair
Those sweet notes seem to nestle there,
In gladsome praise or pleading prayer,
Lat by the love-lamps of thine eyes,
Within whose glow and gladness lies
The altar light of home prize.
In its clear tones come back to me
Those happy evenings by the sea,
When l received loves claim to thee.
With sunset crimsoning the west,
A red light on each tossing crest,
The sea-bird hurrying to its nest,
Oerhead the kindly watching stars,
The sea all silver spears and bars.
The ships aglow like fairy cars,
see us walking on the sands,
Close clasped our souls were our hands,
Gods peace enfolding lakes and lands;
The perfectness of all thy charms,
Within thy fond encircling arms
No place for ills nor rude alarms.
A magic circle lit with love.
With peace on earth and God above,
Thou nesting by me Hike dove.
And now despite the worlds loud din,
Ali hate shut out and love within,
These scenes etched by thy violin,
And blooming in each vibrant tone,
BY thy soul in its music sown,
Some sounds for me and me alone.
Perhaps when we are old and gray.
With lifes sunset not far away,
Love of my life, thou still wilt play;
And lifes last lingering deep twilight
Shall see us both contented quite,
Gods peace upon us as tonight

WIND, RAIN, HAIL.
Severe Storm Passes Over Minneap oils
Doing Considerable Damage.

Minneapolis, Aug. 26.-Havoc was
caused to property interests by the ter
rife wind. hail, rain and electrical storm
that swept over the city last night. There
were no accidents or loss Of life, how
ever.
The Great Northern elevators, situated
ON the st. Louis tracks at Lyndale av-
enue, received the full fury of the storm.
Elevator No. 2. which was burned lit
tie over five years ago, came in for the
major share Of the damage. The struc-
ture, above what is known as the bin
floor, is total wreck, and Manager Hid
dleston said that at a rough estimate
the damage to that building alone would
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The 160-foot brick smokestack situated
directly between the two elevators,
passed through the storm uninjured.
Losses to greenhouse stocks reached,
perhaps, $4,000.
Losses to trees. shrubbery, gardens, ETC.,
belonging to private residents, fences,
buildings, etc., reached nearly $10,OOO
The total loss is anywhere from $780,
300 to 100000.
The handsome colored glass windows in
Westminster, Plymouth, Wesley, the
First Unitarian and in St. Pauls
churches were riddled with hailstones,
causing losses of many hundreds Of dol
lars.
The damage to the greenhouses is about
$4,000 but the owners losses amounted
to far more than that. There were 10000
carnation plants in the field, and Of these
not one is left. Saturday they were
worth $1,000. The storm caused a direct
loss Of from $1,000 to $4,000.
