siderable delay before any streams
could be turned on the flames.

A Pioneer Gone.
Otto Edwardh has Joined the
Great Majority.

Otto EdWardh has Joined the
Great Majority.
Otto Edwardh, whose serious ill
ness and anticipated death was men
toned in last weeks SHEAF, passed
peacefully away at his home in this
city last Saturday, Jan. 10th, ats:3o
o'clock p. m. During the last few
days of his life he suffered intense
bodily pain, hence death was to him
a welcome guest that brought
relief. His disease was cancer of
the stomach.
Mr.. Edwardh was an old resident
and prominent and we'll known bus
mess man of this city. He was
born at Hogen, in Westergotland,
Sweden, on Jan. 27, 1847, hence was
at the time of death, 55 years, II
months and 10 days old. He came
to Warren direct from Sweden in
March 1882, and in 1884 he was un-
tied in marriage with Miss Othelia
Anderson, of this city, the wife who
now survives him. Seven children
mourn the loss, their names be-
ing Hhna, Oscar, Peter, Ahalabia,
Henrietta, Hazel, and Otto. Two
children have already passed before
tosthe other shore.
Mr.. Edwardh was a very active
and energetic business man, up
right in his dealings with his fellow
men, honest and outspoken as we'll
as positive in his opinions, and
in many respects was character
whose life in our new community
will long be remembered. He has
been interested in farming more or
less ever since he came here, and
during many years past it has been
hisEonly occupation. A large and
valuable farm adjoining the city
limits is his property.
I The funeral was held from the
home on Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and was conducted by Rev.
Isaac Peart, of the NJ. E. church.
Rock OF Ages" was sung by a
choir consisting of Mrs. Peart, Mrs.
ile.s Stevens Miss Christine Lag

after which Rev. Peart led in

was nextssung, followed by an i'm
pressive funeral discourse by Rev.
Peart. In the course Of his re-
marks the pastor said that he had
called on Mr.. Edwardh twice
during his illness, had prayed with
him, and was satisfied he had repen-
ted his sins, had embraced the
higher life, and died happy to meet
his Maker. Another song closed
the service after which the remains
were borne to Greenwood cemetery
near by, there to rest till the Res
direction morn. The pallbearers
we're J. E. Ostrom, R. Sullivan,
Chas. Ungerth, A. D. Ralston, AL

Beautiful floral tributes from the
Knights of Honor, and the Red Men,
two orders to which deceased had
belonged, and from other friends,
covered the handsome casket. The
members of the two above named
organizations and a large number
of old settlers and friends, escorted
the remains to the cemetery where
a brief service was conducted
May they rest in peace!
To the sorrowing widow and
children this community extends
it's most sincere and heartfelt SYM
pathy and may God be their comfor-
ter, helper and guide in the years
! to come.

When Miss 0abells reappsared she
looked prettier than ever, and as she
at once opened q book and became
wholly absorbed in It, Durant decided
that the best thing for him to do was
to 60 to sleep with his face turned in
her direction, and so be able to look
at her all that he wanted to. After
a while he decided that she was the
prettiest girl that he ever neo seen,
and that he must know her somehow.

the chair Of an Italian lady who had
q baby. Durant looked across the va
cant seats and saw the baby and
blessed the intervening space. The
italian lady thought that he wanted
TO admire the baby and held It up high
on purpose for him to see. But his gaze
fed out upon the wide ocean beyond.
and he did not recall 1t until he was
ready TO open his book and read.
In the middle Of the afternoon q
pretty girl in a red Tam O'Shanter
came up and stood by the rail. Du-
rant found himself looking at her
over the top Of his book and wishing
that she might be Miss Gabelle. After
a while he had his wish, for she came
across and sat down under her name.
The italian lady was delighted: her
baby had cried so hard that a kind
hearted somebody had taken it to
walk and left the mother free to en-
Joy society. Durant had been three
chairs away, but Miss Gabelle was
only half that distance removed.
Nine Italia leaned over and addressed
her at once.

It might be vouchsafed him to save

II was days. weeks, before he came to
himself. before he could hear the stotry
of his rescue. Then Pedro told him
slowIy, little at time, how the In
dians gathered together in front OF the
chapel, had seen him turn back into tho
church; how they had massed them
selves. fought their way to the spot
where the beloved father lay and car
red him out. II
Days later, when the bandanges were
removed from the PADRES eyes. the
first thing he saw was a Madonna that
had hung above the altar Blackened

as calmly and serenely from the walls
of the Indian hovel as ever thSy had

~icture on a rough shelf stood a golden

The PADRES eyes filled. and Pedro
tanding near the cot on which tne
priest lay, saw the tears, and softly
wiped them away before he spoke.
"It was all that 1 could save, mio
padre. You had told me that you loved

hit of metal" He held out a dark mass
of melted lead and gold. But the pic

Padre Antonio did not answer, and
Pedro went on.
''The bell I might have saved. but 1
rang it and rang it until could stay
In the belfry no longer. 1t has fallen
under all the tower. They may dig 1t
out. though. 1t may still ring"
Antonio groaned aloud. and Pedro
wondered if the fathers love for the
bell was even greater than his love FOR
the golden altar cross. He had not
groaned when he saw that the cross
was destroyed.

The ruins lay Just as the flames had
left them until Padre Antonio was
strong enough to superintend their re-
moval to build again from the very
beginning a new chapel, new sac
risty. new cloisters. new dormitories.
All had been destroyed, utterly and alb
solutely.
But the reconstruction Of the mission
was not the first work to which Father
Antonio turned. He devoted days to q
letter to his superior in Spain, begging
for relief, begging for release. And not
until a courier had been dispatched
down the coast with this appeal could
Antonio give his attention to a new
mission. with every beam that was
raised, with every brick that was laid.
a prayer was raised, a prayer was hid
that he might be building for his sue
cessor, not for himself.
Impatiently he waited for his answer,
so impatiently that all his duties were
only irksome details Of the day; and
as the time came near when he might
confidently expect his letter the days
themselves were mere fragments Of
time piled one upon another.
