Sheriff Mizener chased off last week
after man, not knowing who he was,
where he had gone or what he looked
like, but came back ON Saturday with
him, and he is now resting quietly

Mr.. Anderson was away from home.
told the folks he was going to we'd

clothes, going out soon afterward. He
did not return, and upon investiga-
ton, they found that a watch, some
gold rings, little money and several
trinkets were gone. Mr. Anderson
started out to see if he could find him.

A Handsome Structure.

We visited Phelps cemetery the
other day, and thoroughly enjoyed
an inspection of the new mortuary
chapel and receiving vault, which has
been completed this spring, and is the
gift of Mr.. Geo. Phelps, of Chelten-
ham, England, formerly a prominent
citizen here. The new structure has
been erected at cost of So, 900, and is
dedicated to the memory of S. G. d.
Phelps, son of the donor, who is buri-
ed near the chapel. 1t is square
building, 22x22 feet, has frontage
of st. Cloud granite and Kasota stone
for the remainder of the walls.
There is wide entrance into hand
some room for obsequies over the re-
mains of the deceased, from which
double iron doors with rubber
cushions fronted by wooden doors open
into the receiving vault, built into
the hill, which has three beds of slate
and iron, capable of carrying eighteen
baskets. The audience room has tile
flooring and wainscoating, and light
enters through the finest stained glass
windows. The structure should be
seen to be appreciated. 1t is an en-
during and handsome addition to our
city of the dead, and the thanks of the
entire community are given to Mr..
Phelps for his benificence.

John Riley Van PeIt.

At 3 80 a. m. ON Saturday morning,
June IA, John Riley Van Pelt ceased
from his sufferings and was at rest.
A son of John and Mrs L. L. Van
Pelt, he was born in Huron county,
Ohio, June %, 1843, and therefore
would have been 80 years old in few
days. He was a boy of about nine
years when his parents came west.
But he has known comparatively little
of public affairs, at least in late
years, except as he has heard from
others, for he was an invalid nearly
all his life. He has lived in town for
the last fourteen years. Of necessity
there has been much monotony in his
life as he has been almost entirely
helpless for years, sitting in a wheel
chair by day and resting as best he
could at night. For two months back,
he has been very poorly much of the
time. His father and mother, as she
was able, have been very attentive to
his wants in caring for him. In 1860
he was converted and during his sub
sequent life, gave good evidence, by
his patience and christian converse
ton, that he was indeed one of the
Lords children. Death, therefore,
must have been great relief to his
weary suffering frame.
The funeral was held at the house
last Sunday morning. A good number
of neighbors and friends were.present.
The services, which were brief, were
conducted by Pastor J. w. Allen of
the Baptist church. The burial was
in the family lot in the Russell bury
ing ground, where large number of
old friends and neighbors had congre-
gated to witness the last rites. xxx

The only change seen in the congress

instructed, and Mr.. Rule will go into
the convention with Cerro Gordo

that it will be by reclamation. The
