Another loved one has gone,
The one we loved SO uear;
God loved him too, and he thought best
To take lin home with him to rest.
Farewell dear Brooke, we mourn for thee,
No more thy loving face to see
We sometimes think it cannot be-
That we thy face no more can see
Farewell dear Brooke near and dear,
Life is sad without you here;
Oh, what sorrow to our hearts it brings
To know the voice we loved is still.
God took him from this world of pain
To dwell with him above
For God thought best
To take him home with him to rest.
Gone to the grave is our loved one,
Gone to his rest at home;
Grant, o Lord, that we may meet MIN
On that bright and blissful shore.

This precious bud so young and fair,
Came hence to early doom;
Just came to show how sweet flower
In Paradise could bloom.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear Ellsworth has gone;
But Oh a brighter home than ours,
In heaven Is now his own.

With the angels gone to dwell
Close by the side of our child,
Safe at the feet of the Holy one

The w. c. 7. U. Supper.
Reported for the Democratic Advocat

The supper given at the parsonage by the
Deer Park W. G. T. Twas attended by about
100 persons. The gathering was one of the
most pleasant and profitable as well as a grand
success. 1t was through the hearty co opera
ton of the friends in the neighborhood, who
furnished donations, that caused it to be the
complete success that it was and for which the
ladies of the Union feel very grateful. The
program was brief yet seemed to please.
These meetings mean labor, but it is hoped
that good seed is being sown that will bring
abundant harvest.

at O'Clock on Monday morning, February
"a. Mr.. Burt but three weeks previously had
been taken to the hospital for treatment for
diabetes and heart affection, which the physi
clan IN charge of the Home, at the time re-
marked, would end fatally. The immediate
cause OF death, however, was broncho- pneu-
monia, due to Il cold contracted three DAYS
before his death.
On Monday evening his remains, in charge
OF his friend A. II. Huber and undertaken
Sharrer, were brought to Westminster to the
residence of Mrs. Judge Maulsby, with whose
family the deceased had been for many years
intimate, the late Judge having had very
high opinion Of Mr.. Burt's legal knowledge.

Graham OF the NJ. p. Church, were held at
Mrs. Maulsby's on Wednesday afternoon The
inteIment was in Westminster cemetery.
Mr. Burt was born in Orange county, New

months and IA days of age at the time of his
death.
His wife, who was Miss Mary Z. Ham
mond, of Pine Plains, Duchess county, n.
Y, died about 1886. Her remains lie in
Westminster Cemetery. From this shock Mr.
Burt never entirely recovered. Their COM
partnership had been It's inseparable as it was
devoted during her life. Wnen her health
began to show signs Of breaking he left New
York, and for considerable time he travelled
in the West Indies, living for quite while
among the highland, Of the island of Jamaica.
From thence he came to Washington and in
time thereafter to Westminster, succeeding
Mr.. Geo. B. Halves, in the ownership of 1.-The
Locusts.'
During Mrs Burt's lifetime in our county,

agreeable and cheerful manner TO the pleasure
and happiness oft the home. After Mrs Burt s

Mr.. Burt has been alone.

by profession lawyer, and at one time had
an extensive and lucrative practice in his ma
tive county. He was methodical and exact,

of his business

CARRIED AWAY BY ANGRY FLOODS.
Thrilling Experience of Young
Lady--Two Boys Drowned.

MIDDLErowN. MD, Feb. 23.-Miss Katie
Lutz, a young lady Is years old, daughter of
Mr.. Lewis Lutz, living between Middletown
and Minersvlle, Frederick county, had
miraculous escape from drowning this after
noon at Shootsvile, mile or 50 west of Mid
detown. Miss Lutz was crossing a footlog
over the Little Catoctin in company with Mr.
Samuel Crone. In making the transit she
became dizzy and fell headlong into the
stream, which was greatly swollen from the
melting snow. The current was very swift
and she was swept down stream rapidly. Her
companion ran across the log and along the
bank and seized her. but she was quickly
swept from his grasp. About 300 feet farther
down the stream, near where it empties into
the Big Catoctn, Messrs. William Sigler and
Lawrence Biser ran to the rescue. AS she
was carried by the swiftly rushing water to-
ward the bank Mr.. Sigler seized hold of her,
but the current again tore her from his grasp.
Mr. Biser ran to tree and, Selling hold with
one hand. leaned out as she was carried down,
feet foremost, hands extended and head part
ly under the water. He grabbed her hand
and was fortunately able to hold on to her.
1t took the united efforts of the three men to
pull her, all limp and unconscious, from the
swift water. She was carried to Mr.. Biser's
home, near by, and the usual methods OF
reSuScltatlon were successfully USED. LII.
Beckley, of Middletown, was sent for, but
when he arrived Miss Luz was fully restored
to consciousness.
HAGERsTowN, Nd, Feb. 26.--James Dens-
more, aged 20 years, and Roy Snodderiy. aged
II wears, were drowned in Antetam creek, in
Washington county, this morning while at
tempting to drive across the swollen stream in
wagon. A younger brother of Roy Snod-
dery was with them. He got out of the
wagon on to the back of the horse to guide
him through the water. They were warned
not to make the attempt. Tie swift current
carried the horse off its feet, upset the wagon,
and in a moment all three boys were founder
ing in the water. They we're carried rapidly
down stream in sight of many persons, who
were powerless to rescue them. The horse
was drowned and only the younger Snodderly
escaped with his life. He dritted down stream
about rs yards, when he struck tree which
stood in eight feet Of water. He climbed up
into its branches and sat there, drenched and
shivering, for two hours. He was finally res
cued after repeated attempts by John Bailey
who got into boat and pushed out through
the torrent toward the tree. He threw rope
to young Snodderly, who finally got into the
boat, amid the cheers of those who stood on
the banks. The rescue was witnessed by his
father. The boy was nearly frozen.

sne appearance of Bismarck, whose To-.
cation he says is ideal and which,
with the development of the western
part of the state, is certain to be a
prosperous and thriving city.
Five of the young men of the city
have started a club in the Hughes res
idence on Third street, formerly occu-
pied by w. G. Rowland. Pat Byrne,
Will OHara, Drs. Quain and LaRose
and Burt Finney are the young gen
tlemen concerned. They have fur
nished the house nicely throughout,
have complete parlor, kitchen and din
ing room furnishings, and engaged
Mrs. Madison as housekeeper. The
club was formally opened last Sunday,
and is reported a great success. The
expense is divided by the members,
and the mode of living is popular with
all of them, giving them all the COM
forts and pleasures of home life.
At the recent term of U. S. court at
Devils Lake, Michael L. O'Connor, for
merly a wellknown barrister, appeared
as attorney for Mrs. Matilda Hammer
in a damage suit against the Great
Western Elevator company at New
Rockford, for injuries to the daughter
of the plaintiff. who was badly bruised
and injured by being caught in an
open shafting., Mr.. O'Connor, who
appeared for the first time before
Judge Amidon, won his case and OBJ
tanned a verdict for $500. In this
connection it will be interesting to
know that Mr.. O'Ccnnor is prospecting
at New Rockford. He owns 4SO acres
of land that is worth in the vicinity OF
$50 an acre, and this year, he has in
400 acres of, flax that promises to yield
- to Is bushels per acre.
