Death of the
Young and Fair

"She died in beauty like q rose,
Blown from its parent stem"
1t has seldom occurred that q
death in Walden caused such gener-
al sorrow among all our people as
the recent death of our dear, little
friend, Pearl Riddle For some
months past it was known by her
physician DR.. Fischer, that Bright's
disease with which she WAS afflicted
would prove fatal sooner or later.
Whether she realized this is not
known, but having arrived ut the
threshold Of womanhood, Pearl
fought with true womanly courage
against the insidious enemy that was
surely sapping her young life away.
Exceptionally gentle, kind and low
able, she. was also courageous and
anxious to live. More than ever,
since coming to Walden to attend
school this fall, she seemed to enjoy
life. Cheerful, hopeful, jovial, look
ing always on life's bright side, she
sent ray of gladness among he !
young associates and rapidly won
their love and most tender regard
Attending her school on Monday as
usual, and from sheer exhaustion,
quitting her class on Tuesday, on
Saturday night, when the weeks
work was done, after her mother had
in the afternoon given her Il bath,
she laid down TO rest, to sleep, TO die
Wakeful at four z. N. and reproach-
ing herself to school mate for be-
ing SO much in bed, she soon fell IN
to deep sleep to wake no more on
earth. Between six and seven clock
her good mother watching at her
bedside, was alarmed at her condition
and huruedIy sent for the doctor,
who came; but in few minutes life
was gone. Her father arrived from
hls ranch at Rand, two hours later.
The funeral occurred Monday al
1880 p. NJ All tho school children
attended in body. The choir sang,
Asleep in Jesus. Rev. D. W. Tib-
belts read the Scriptures. Choir
sang, When the roll is called up yon
der. Rev. ii. Sutherlin of Hebron,

read the Scriptures and Mrs. Lingor
sang as solo, Sometime we will un-
derstand, the choir joining III the
chorus. Rev Spence selected James
ia as a text, from which ae
preached short, put instructive dis
course, and was followed By Rev.
Sutherlin, who made cheerful, hope
full and highly optomistic- remarks
about death.
PEARLS classmates wsre pail bear
ers consisting Of Ethel and Pearl
Stout, Fordyee Brownlee, Ray Mos
man, Valdai Shippey and Bella sey-
mour, her seat mate.
The following lines were read at
the services at the church, by Rev.
Spence and seem very appropriate
and expressive.
even death is nothing more
Than opening Of door,
Through which VIC pass away

And we who see not, blinded by
the light

Thus ever near or far

Yet those we bid good bye

Go hence from life to life

RAIN WITHIN NEXT FEW DAYS
WOULD BE WORTH MILLIONS,

of Kansas and Missouri, the corn crop has
not suffered to disastrous extent as yet.
1t is still capable of making a fair crop in
these places. should rain appear within
the next few days. But in event OF another
ten days OF dry weather, accompanied by
fierce heat. such as has been experienced
during the last two weeks. 1t is probable
that the country will suffer greatly. Fortu-
nately. an immense winter wheat crop all
ready has been secured.
While corn probably took the leading
place in the grain which is affected. wheat
showed the greatest strength to-day. No
serious damage has resulted to the spring
wheat crop up to date as result Of the
drought.
Northern Crop in Danger.
Indications are that not only will the
hot, dry spell continue. but that 1t will
move northward and do damage to that
grain. Another item, which probably is the
principal cause for the remarkable strength
shown in wheat now. is that there is. 80
little for sale. This IL caused by the prob
ability that. owing to the losses of. corn.
oats and hay, much wheat will be used for
feeding cattle.
Conservative estimates are that in Kan
sas the crop Will not amount to more than
100000 at the best, and probably not that
much. II the dry spell is protracted. Last
year that State had 1853 900 bushels and
the year before 81. 100000 bushels. Weather
forecasts agree on the possibility OF the hot
winds going northward and menacing the
spring wheat crop. Even to-day grain men
in st. Paul. according to reports received
from that city. are beginning to fear for
the wheat in the river valley. where fields
recently flooded are being treated to IN
tense heat.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Sharon. Pa. July IAN unusual condi-
ton of farm life has presented itself In
Western Pennsylvania. and it Is a common
sight to see white women laboring like
squaws in the fields. and they prefer 1t
rather than working in factories with their
dust and dirt and rattle Of whirling ma
chinery.
Women and girls not only go out ana
dig potatoes on their own patches OF land.
but they are hiring out in great numbers
to do farm work for others. There IL a
famine of men Iaborers for the farms, and.
unless the women did the work. the crops
could not be planted or harvested. A
woman at the Bethel farm has Just COM

Despite the heroic efforts of the women.
the farmers will lose thousands of bushels
of grain because rust has got into 1t; and It
cannot be harvested because OF the heavy
rains which have made the ground too soft
to permit the use Of machinery. The
scarcity Of farm 1aborers is due to the fact
that the iron and steel mills offer the men
better wages. While the women 60 to the

DROUGHT AFFECTING
COTTON MARKET.
Need of Rain and Hot Weather
Has Disquieting Effect on This
Staple Product of the South.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, July 12-Cotton values this
morning closely approached the high level
of the early week on a small scare Of shorts
and brisk outside buying of a professional
character. The early English cables were
great disappointment, and all hope OF a
bull market to-day looked dubious. But
just before 10 o'clock Liverpool turned a
sharp corner ana. became very strong on
drought reports from The belt west OF the
South Atlantic States, and reports that
wheat and corn were again in shape for
long upward strides. This ehowina abroad
nipped bears Intentions in the bud and
proved q source OF much comfort to the
bulls. who last night went home in a most
uneasy frame of mind.
The forenoon buying movement carried
July to S.35. August to 7.S4. october to 7.69.
and January to 40 From this level there
were slight setbacks. but in the main the
temper was emphatically bullish. The

The feature of the situation this morning

ing at 1862 here, the same option was quoted
at It's and 7.6i in New Orleans, or a differ'
ence of only II to IL points. heretofore the
tendency of that market has been to lag be-
hind, with average difference of over x
points in the new crop options. July in New
Orleans sold at about the same price as
July here, while August sold considerably
above the price quoted for that option here
Both sides are sill waiting. and in the
meantime reports are becoming less favor
able, and the need Of rain over a vast area
Is beyond question. AS the outlook for 6
bumper cotton crop is more dubious thar
before this season, prices hold firm, not fal

fear that without rains in the near future

to- plant can stand great deal Of harsh
treatment from the elements.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. July 12-Declines IN the stock
market to-day completely demoralized
traders. and at times a semipanicky feel
ing prevailed. No one seemed to know
where the next rumor would come from. or
how far It would be able to knock down
some of the strongest Of the stocks. For
an hour after the market there was little
to indicate what course 1t might take. The
opening was irregular. Slight declines were
followed by fitful rallies.
A great deal Of uncertainty prevailed as
to the attitude Of the large financial In
terests toward stocks. which did not ap-
pear to be buying. as they did yesterday
evening.
Commission houses, on the other hand.
had a great many orders from customers in
all parts of the country to sell at the first
suggestion Of another decline.
Prices Began to TOpple.
The most positive movement began about
Ii o'clock. when prices commenced to top

short time. Rock Island was not able tc
resist the pressure against 1t. and dropped
quickly to a quotation near the lowest Of
the current movement. st. Paul followed
the heavy declines in these stocks. Special
ties like Colorado Fuel and General Electric
lost 8 and IL points. A number Of low
priced issues. for which there Is a poor
