Success has attended the experi-
ments of the method of smelling steel
by electricity discovered by Herr KEEL
lin. Swedish engineer. Tests were
made on large scale at the iron fac
tory of GySinge with perfect success.
1t is declared that electro-steel of SUI
perior quality can be produced at the
same cost as ordinary steel. The Gy-
SINCE factory is driven entirely by wa
ter power, and it is thought that the
abundance of water power and iron
ore throughout Sweden is certain to
develop a great electro-steel industry.

IN MEMORIAN.

In sad but loving remem brance of
our husband and father Jacob II. Ward
who passed away from this life six
months ago in the cighty-ffth wear of
his age. Oh how many lips are say
ing this today mid falling tears slowly
yet surely time passes away. How
many have died during the past year
they fought their last battle, slept
their last sleep no more to rise until
the Judgement day.
Have you a father, love him well
While he is spared on earth!
Wait not til death shall call him home
TO know his precious worth
OF he kind to him in his hours Cf pain,
e. gentle and be mild
Hoo sweet will be tor you 20 think
You've been faithful child.
Is = suffering was borne with
ch tian fol titude and a humble sub
mis- ON TO the will of God in whom
ne believed. How sad the nights we
watched by his bedside hoping God
woul let him stay but our hopes were
crushed when he closed his eyes to
this world to be opened in a fairer one
above. We must not doubt the will
of God because his will is not ours
and though clouds gather around as
and tears like rain fall upon our hearts
yet up there in the light of eternity
we viii understand.
Silently in the lonely night the un-
seen angle came and bore his sweet
spirit home.
Father our faithful one farewell a
sad farewell
Beneath the silent shades Of Harmo-
ny church in the dear old church yard
our loved one is sleeping.
BY his wife and children.

threshing crew near Sheldon, found the
bundle of valuable papers stolen from
Mr.. Kraft's store in Sheldon last Sun
day night, The papers were found in
a wheat field but the cash that was
stolen from the store at the same time
was not found. The papers consisted
of $1,000 in farmers notes, $3.50 GER
tificate of deposit and $2,25O in Texas
oil stock. The men had heard of the
burglary and drove to Sheldon where
they called upon Mr.. Kraft and offered
to tell him where he could find the pa
pers if he would pay them 500. Mr.,
Kraft did SO and the men turned the
papers over to hsim. He Immediately
made a complaint against the men,
charging them with@th burglary of the
store and they were arrested. At the
hearing the men proved that they had
stopped all night with a farmer some

that they were innocent of any connec-
ton with the crime whatsoever. They
were accordingly released.
