This would be a beautiful and
pleasant world to live in if every
one would discourage the flying re-
ports derogatory to his neighbours
conduct.
If the average girl knew which
side of her bread was butter ed
she would shorten her matrimonial
career by prolonging her courtship.
A mans most profitable accom-
plishment is a disposition to culti-
vate politeness. 1t costs nothing,
makes hosts of friends and fat pur-
ses.
Try to be calm and Serene, for
life is full of blessings, and we
should learn ourselves how to mag
nifty them and be happy.
The mind of man is tempted with
exaggeration. If he hears things
derogatory to his fellow being he is
prone to believe them, but if they
are good they will pass from his
memory.
When man asks youfor advice
first find out the kind he wants and
then give it to him freely and he
will be convinced that you and him
self are two of the smartest men
that ever lived.

pact in it's structure. By removing a
few of these fragments, they were
found to rest upon bed of ice,
which is of great thickness, and may
perhaps, be as permanent as the rocks
with which it occurs.
"It was about a O'Clock p. m. when
the party arrived on the summit. In
our way we had attempted to cross a
large field of snow, which occupied
deep ravine, extending down about
half mile from the top, on the
southeastern side of the peak. This
was, however, found impassable, be-
ing covered with thin ice. not suffi-
ciently strong to bear the weight of
man. We had not been long on the
summit when we were rejoined by
the man who had separated from us,
near the outskirts of the timber He
had turned aside and lain down to
rest, and afterwards pursued his
journey by different route
From the summit of the peak. the
view towards the northwest and
southwest is diversified with innum-
erable mountains, all white with
snow; and on some of the more dis
tant it appears to extend down to
their bases. Immediately under our
feet, on the west, lay the narrow
valley of the Arkansa, which we
could trace running towards the
northwest, probably more than sixty
miles
son the north side of the peak was
an immense mass of snow and ice.
The ravine in which it lay terminated
in a woodless and apparently fertile
valley, lying west of the first great
ridge, and extending far towards the
north. This valley must undoubtedly
contain considerable branch of the
Platte. In part of it, distant prob
ably thirty miles, the smoke of
large fire was distinctly seen, sup
posed to indicate the encampment of
party of Indians.
''ro the east lay the great plain,
rising as it receded, until IN the
distant horizon it appeared to mingle
with the sky. A little want of trans
parency in the atmosphere, added to
the great elevation from which we
saw the plain, prevented our dis
tinguishing the small inequalities of
the surface The Arkansa, with
several of it's tributaries, and some of
the branches of the Platte, could be
distinctly traced as OH map, by the
line of timber along their courses.
"On the south the mountain is con-
tipued, having another summit, (sup-
posed to be that assembled by Captain
Pike) at the distance of eight or ten
miles. This, however, falls much

range containing these two peaks
terminates abruptly.
"The weather was calm and clear
while the detachment remained on
the peak but we were surprised to
observe the air in every direction
filled with such clouds of grasshop-
pers, as partially to obscure the day.
They had been seen in vast numbers
above all the higher parts Of the
mountain, and many had fallen upon
the snow and perished. 1t is, per-
haps, difficult to assign the cause
which induces these insects to ascend
to these highly elevated regions of
the atmosphere. Possibly they may
have undertaken migrations to some
remote district; but there appears
not the least uniformity in the di-
rection of their movements. They
extended upwards from the summit
of the mountain to the utmost limit
of vision; and as the sun shone
brightly, they could be seen by the
glittering Of their wings, at very
considerable distance.
about all the woodless parts of
the mountain, and particularly on
the summit, numerous tracks were
seen, resembling those of the common
deer, but most probably have been
those of the animal called the big
horn. The skulls and horns of these
animals we had repeatedly seen near
the licks and saline springs at the
foot of the mountain, but they are
known to resort principally about the
most elevated and inaccessible places
"The party remained on the summit
only about half an hour; in this
time the mercury fell to AZ degrees,
the thermometer hanging against the
side of a rock, which in all the
early part of the day had been ex-
posed to the direct rays of the sun.
At the encampment of the main body
in the plains, a corresponding ther-
mometer stood in the middle of the
day at SO degrees, and did not fall
below 80 degrees until late hour in
the evening
cat about five in the afternoon the
party began to descend, and little
before sunset arrived at. the COM
mencement Of the timber; but before
we reached the small stream at the
bottom of the first descent, we per-
ceived we had missed our way. 1t
was now become so dark as to render
an attempt to proceed extremely haz-
ardous and as the only alternative,
we kindled fire, and laid ourselves
down upon the first spot of level
ground we could find. We had
neither provisions nor blankets; and
our clothing was by no means suit

dinary degree of fatigue, found our
selves able to sleep during greater
part of the night.
cat daybreak on the following
morning, the thermometer stood at 3S
degrees. AS we had few comforts
to leave, we quilted our camp as soon
as the light was sufficient to enable
us to proceed. We had travelled
about three hours when we discovered
a dense column of smoke rising from
a deep ravine on the left hand. AS
we concluded this could be no other
than the encampment where we
had left our blankets and provisions,
we descended directly towards it.
The fire had spread and burnt ex-
tensively among the leaves, dry grass,
and small timber, and was now rag
ing over an extent Of several acres.
This created some apprehension, lest
the smoke might attract the notice
of any Indians who should be at that
time in the neighborhood, and who
might be tempted by the weakness of
the party to offer some molestation.
But we soon discovered less equivo-
cal cause of regret in the loss of our
cache of provisions, blankets, cloth
ing, etc., which had not escaped the
confiagration. Most of our baggage
was destroyed; but out Of the ruins
we collected beggarly breakfast,
which we ate, notwithsta nding it's
meanness, with sufficient appetite.
We chose different route for the
remaining part of the descent from
the one taken in going up, and by
that means avoided part of the diff
Guilty arising from the crumbling
granite but this was nearly compen-
sated by the increased numbers of
yuccas and prickly pears.
"We arrived little after noon at
the boiling spring, where we in
dulged freely in the use of it's highly
aerated and exhilarating waters. In
the bottom of both these springs
great number of beads and other
small articles of Indian ornament
were found, having unquestionably
been left there as sacrifices or pres
ents to the springs, which are re-
garded with sort of veneration by
the savages. Bijeau assured us he
had repeatedly taken beads and
other ornaments from these springs,
and sold them to the same savages
who had thrown them in.
"a large and much frequented road
passes the springs. and enters the
mountains, running to the north of
the high peak. 1t is travelled prin-
cipally by the bison, sometimes also
by the Indians who penetrate here
to the Columbia.

Passing of Another Comrade.

Mr.. j. W. Hull, we'll known citi-
zen of DEBORAH, passed away at his
home in this city on Sunday night
about nine O'Clock, after an illness
extending over number of weeks
He has suffered a good deal the past
year or two, and since he has been
confined to his home the last time
there has been little hope of his re-
covery.
Mr.. Hull was an industrious, highly
esteemed, unassuming, true citizen
He was man who quietly attended
to his own affairs, and by his kindly
nature and manly character acquired
the esteem of ALL He was member
of Co. H, 18th Wisconsin Infantry,
and served faithfully during the army
Since that time he has taken great
interest in Grand Army matters, and
for several years has been Adjutant of
Col. Hughes Post, No 1856, under
whose auspices his burial will take
place this Wednesday afternoon, at
two O'Clock. The heartfelt sympathy
of all their acquaintance are extend
ed to the grief stricken wife, his two
sons and two daughters

The Lumbermen's Quartette.

A novel method of advertising, and
one that never fails to please is the
Lumbermen's Quartette, organized to
furnish music for friends and custo-
mers of Ingvoldstad d Co whenever
convenient The quartette consists of
Messrs. Ole Rorvick, Fred Ambli
Walter and Will Ingvolstad, and as
is we'll known, they have good voices
and sing we'll together They propose
to go out in the country and become
acquainted with the different COM
munities, and also to sing at gather
ings of all kinds. On Saturday night
they went out to Ed. Arness' and de-
lighted the people who were there
with their music. Ed. is building a
new house, and there was a large
crowd present, who enjoyed dancing
and other amusements.

Entitled to Commentator.

Among the many citizens who have
spent time, labor and money in the
relief of those who lost in the flood,
we believe none are entitled to greater
praise than our efficient city council,
and especially the members of the
street and sidewalk committees
Alderman Geo. Bernatz has devoted
almost his entire time without rec
compense since the flood to the per-
sonal direction of the work Of fixing
up the streets, and has been ably as
sisted by Alderman Chas. Haas and
John NARROW. All have spent much
time in the effort to relieve the con-
gested condition of passable streets,
and get the others in shape to be used.
Inasmuch as this work is done with
out reimbursement we believe that
they are deserving of this slight re-
cognition of their services.

Suicide of William Bryant.

About one-half of last week
Public Opinions contained a
notice of the suicide of William Bry-
ant, of Hesper township We printed
an item noting his disappearance, and
the search for him by an organized
party, and when the paper was about
half printed we were notified of the
finding of him, and inserted a brief
note of his suicide.
He was found near the northwest
corner of the Henry Chase farm in
Hesper township, with bullet hole in
his head and revolver with one she'll
exploded by his side. Coroner Jewell
was called, and formed jury consist
ing of F. E. Bandle, NJ D. Whitney
and A. r. Bryant, who returned a ver-
dict of death by his own hand. AS
stated last week he left the farm of
M. d. Whitney where he had been
working, Sunday afternoon, and he
was not seen again until found by
the searching party which went out
on Tuesday. He was about "a years
old, and young man highly esteemed
and respected. His act was undoubt-
eddy performed while not in his right
mind, the arrangement being caused
by recent illness.
The funeral services were held at
his home last Wednesday, Rev. Dor
cas-, of Burr Oak, officiating

RACE MEET IN PROGRESS
OPENED HERE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
The Track is in Good Condition, and
Fine Field of Horses Are on the
Ground. Yesterdays Races.

In point of speed and exciting con-
tests the race meet which is now in
progress in this city bids fair to excel
anything of the kind ever held in this
section of the state. AS has been an
nounced heretofore, the best field of
horses that has ever been here are
entered, and they are all on the
ground prepared to race for the big
purses that are hung up by the Driving
Club.
The races yesterday afternoon were
as fine exhibition of speed and racing
as one cares to see, the only drawback
being the small crowd in attendance.
In fact there was considerably less
than 500 taken in, when there should
have been seven or eight times that
amount Our people have generously
donated their time and money to give
the public the best obtainable in this
line, and it is TO be regretted that
their efforts are not more appreciated
by a large attendance. The races
were pulled off exactly as advertised,
and they furnished some rare sport for
lovers Of fast horses. The track was
i'll splendid condition and good time
was made. There was but one acct
dent, one of the horses in the RUM
ing race stumbled and threw its
driver, but fortunately he was not
injured. Following is list of yes
terday's races as finished

In Memory of Mrs. D. Britton.

And we wept our tears and left her
there,
And brought her memory home
Oh she was beautiful, sweet, and
fair
A heavenly hymn-a sweet still
prayer,
Pure as the snow, white as the foam,
That seeks lone, far shore.
Dear Mamie blest from amid the
blest
The hearts that will guard thy place
of rest
Forever, forever, forever more.
The Angels have claimed one more
OF earth's fairest daughters.
And Mamie Britton is at rest
1t was with sad hearts that the
people of this community received the
tiding of her death.
Mamie, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dennis Sullivan was born in Ossian,
Ia, August 81, 1880, and died after
lingering illness of eleven weeks, May
p, 1902, at the age of 81 years, s
months, and 26 days.
Her girlhood days were spent in
Ossian and her education was received
at the Ossian Public School, where
she was graduated in the class of 1898.
After her graduation she taught in
the schools of Winneshiek county I'M
til her marriage to d. Britton, Decem-
Der 81, 1900.
In September, 1901, she and her hus-
band removed to DEBORAH, Iowa, where
she resided until the time of her i'll
ness.
She left husband, father and mot
her, three brothers, John of Lynx
vile, Wis, Michael of Los Angeles,
Cal. Daniel of Shoshonel, Idaho and
four sisters, Mrs. Nathan Anderson,
Mrs. j. Beardmore and Miss Flossie
Sullivan of Ossian, and Mrs John
Powers of Clermot to mourn her loss.
During the long weeks of her i'll
ness she was a most patient sufferer
Her couch was watched by loving rela-
tives and for each act of kindness
rendered by her loved ones she return
ed loving word, smile, or thank
full look, showing the most loving
gratitude.
She seemed to have no fear of death,
and as her broken hearted friends sent
up prayers that death might pass her
by, and God spare her yet few years,
she only smiled faint sweet smile,
and as hope died in the faces of those
around her, another and sweeter
hope seemed to shine on hers, and
sweet prayers arose from her wasted
lips that made her watchers weep
After her death kind hands surround
ed her with flowers, making her look
like fair young bride, as indeed,
she was the bride of heaven. xxx
