On the arm Of Lieut.. Commander
Parker Mrs. Harrison took her place
at the head of the coffin. which had
been borne to the side of the grave
by the ~pallbearers. Through the
heavy mourning veil which she wore
there were visible marked signs of
the grief through which she had
passed. Her lips trembled continual
ly and it was evident that she kept
Ter emotion under control by the
| greatest effort.
In President at the Grave.
Near her stood the other relatives.
President Mckinley came to the a
with Mrs. Durbin and stood with her
during the brief service. When the
prayer was offered the president was
seemingly deep in thought and re-
NAMED so with bowed head after the
final word had been said. He stood
with barred head Immediately beside
the stone monument of the Harrison
family, and once, when the WEAKNESS
Of the day had touched him, seeming
he leaned against it for a moment.
The air had begun to be chilly and
the wind began to blow cold, but
while some others around the grave
to protect their heads barely raised
their hats, the president kept his in
his hands throughout the service.
Beside him were Gov. Durbin and Pri-
vate Secretary Cortelyou.
The burial service was very simple
and very brief. Rev. Mr.. Niccols read
the short committal and burial serv-
Ice and Rev. Mr.. Haines followed with
a prayer. Instead of following the
usual practice, which consists of drop
ping a few grains of dust on the cof-
fin, three white carnations were
placed upon the lid. When the last
word had been said and the service
was over the attendants lowered the
coffin to its place. To the last it bore
the wreath from Mrs. Harrison and
the bouquet of lilies of the valley
from little Elizabeth. On the coffin
was placed a heavy walnut protect
ing cover and then the granite roof
of the tomb was lowered and closed.
The Tomb.
The last resting place of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison is a tomb five feet
deep, incased in granite four inches
thick and covered with a granite top
of the same thickness. On the re-
verse side of the cover is the simple
inscription: benjamin Harrison.
1s33-19O1." The interior of the tomb
was decorated with ferns so profuse-
ly that no sign of earth or stone was
visible. Dozens of eXquisitely beau.
tiful floral tributes were placed on
the tomb and on the ground close by.
After the services at the grave
were over and the people had left
carts of earth were unloaded at the
grave side and the tomb filed and
flowers placed over all. As the peo-
pie SLOWLY left the cemetery the dis
ant boom of cannon firing the ma
tional salute came to their ears, and
by the time the last gun was fired
the night was down and the grave
alone.

Sunny Rooms.

1t is said to be true that In all hospi-
tails those rooms facing the sun have
fewer deaths, other things being equal,
than those which are on the shady side
OF the house. Likewise statistics. where
they have been kept, prove that the av-
erage time for a recovery Is much less
in a sunny room than In n shady one.
From these facts and from the fact
that the tendency toward illness has
proved greater On the shady side OF
buildings. like prisons and asylums, 1t
follows that light is second only in i'm
portance to fresh air. A dark room is
nearly but not quite SO bad as a close
room. In the case Of sickness the sick
room should be the sunniest one the
house affords.

Judge John II. Baker, of the United
States court, the civil power of the
state, was delegated to take charge of
the body from the time it left the
house until it was returned there late
at night. Inside the house the cere-
monies were very brief. Gen. Wallace
and his fellow committeeman an
nounced that they had come to as
sumo their charge and the casket con-
tanning the remains was turned over
to them. 1t was at nee lifted by IL
soldiers and carried through the door
to the hearse.
March to the Capitol.
As soon as the members of the es-
cort committee had reached their
carriages, the order for the return
march was given, and, headed BY
the state guard marching with re-
vcrsed arms and in slow time to the
music Of the dirge played by the
hand, the parade moved slowly away.
At the head of the column rode Brig.
Gen. Mckee and his staff. command

Arriving at the state house the es-
cort was drawn mp TO one side and
then, while the military presented
arms, the drums rolled softly, the
casket was borne into the state house,
where, surrounded by its guard of
honor, with fixed bayonets, it was to
lie until night. Long before it was
possible to admit them a line of people
thousands long was stretched away
from the state house door, waiting
for the time to come when they would
be admitted.

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING

Less than half the voters attended the
annual March meeting, and whether this
fact was due to the storm that prevailed
or to an absolute Indifference to the
towns welfare We are not prepared to
say, but it certainly is a matter of re-
greet that so many voters showed by
their absence a lack OF interest in town
matters. After reading the warning, S.
ID. Hobson was elected moderator and
Geo. s. Robinson town clerk. Thus
organized the meeting proceeded to the
election Of all other officers as provided

IaIrKA A. FARMER,

The death of Laura A. Farmer which
took place last Sunday has caused deep
sorrow among the many friends OF the
family. TO her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Farmer, this sad event comes as a
terrible blow, plunging them into the
very depths of grief The elder OF their
two children, an only daughter, just
blossoming into young womanhood,
many of their fondest hopes were cen-
tered in her. In the high school her loss
is keenly felt. She took an unusual in
terest in her school work and was dill
Gent, faithful and popular pupil. The
Methodist Church, by her death, loses
from its membership a pure, true life.
But since
"The face Of Death is toward the Sun OF Life.
Is Onward"
we nav well believe the change has
meant to her larger, fuller life. Some
four weeks ago she fell a victim to ty'
phoid fever, and as the fever left hen
other complications arose aud her lie
soon went out. Her age was IL years
The funeral service was held at the nj
Il. Church Wednesday afternoon, at
tended by the high school and grammar
school in body and by large number
Of friends. Many beautiful flowers ties
tilted to her worth as estimated by he
friends. The school furnished tin'
wreath and there were many other flora
tributes. The family have the sincer
sympathy Of the community.
