goods, but they preferred to lay
up their treasures in heaven.
Lycurgus p. Hickman was like
Nathaniel of old, an Israelite in
deed in whom was no guile.
His clear, deep blue eye was an
index to a noble soul within. He
died April, 1903.
Jacob s. Johnston, was SO great,
he forgot what he did for others,
but ever held in grateful remem-
brance all that had been done for
him.
His wife had no superior and
few equals; her heart was
warm, filled with the spirit of love,
and her mind clear and far-seeing.
Not only their own children bless
God for them, but the many or
phans they have aided, arise and
bless their sacred memories.
Robert T. Johnston was a dea-
con of Little Bonnie Femme, and
one of its most faithful officers. He
moved his membership to Bethel
for several years and there taught
faithfully in the Sunday school
and gave religious comfort and in
struction to many afflicted and
cold Christians. He removed his
membership to his first love, Bonnie
Femme, and there remained until
his death. He belonged to the
list of the faithful, who assisted
Revs. Tyre c. Harris, NoahFlood,
John NJ. Robinson, John T. Will
liams aud G. l.. Black in their eff
forts to extend Christ's kingdom

Folk for Governor.

An ILLINOIS reader OF the MES
SAGE sends us the following dan
dy editorial" as he calls it from
the Springfeld(m.) State Regis
ter:
Attorney Folk, of ST. Louis,
who stepped forth like David to
STAY the giant of corruption and
Doodle in st. Louis, was ridiculed
when he began his crusade. Today
he has humbled the grafters, the
boodlers and the cOrruptionists
wherever they are found.
Attorney Folk is now mentioned
for the gubernatorial nomination
in Missouri. The people of ST..
Louis and of the state of Missouri
believe that such an exemplary Of
fetal should be given higher hon
Ors.
This is the reward of honor.
This is the reward of official clean
illness. This as the reward of duty
and obedience to the law. Why is
it there are so many officials who
choose the path of corruption in
preference to the path of decency
and official honor, when there is
so much to be gained for them
selves and the people within their
jurisdiction by doing what is
right?
Corruption always brings sor-
row, regret and kindred punish
ment. Official honor is the
greatest triumph of the age, so
rare it is, rare as the most precious
of gems and always highly valued.
May we have more official honor
and wherever official honor is
found, let it be regarded a thOus-
and fold.
The fearless prosecutor of Mis-
souri,, who will enter Jefferson City
with the largest majority a Mis-
sourian ever received, and who
continues to prosecute and convict
boodlers whose cases the Missouri
supreme court reverses and re-
mands, in an address the past
week when he asked for the con-
viction of boodlers used the fol-
lowing language which
is so appropriate for many commu-
mites that the Register gives space
for it and hopes it will become the
sentiment of Springfield;
Bribery is the most dangerous
of crimes. Other offenses violate
one law, while bribery strikes at
the foundation OF all law, No gov
eminent can exist where it is toll
Grated. When the passage of laws
become a mere matter of bargain
and sale, then there will not be {
government of and for the people
but a government Of the few ant
by the few, with wealth enough tt
purchase official power.
II hope to see the day when ont
win no more jest with an oficia
as to his honesty than one woul,
make light Of woman's virtue.
'Ofiicial honesty is the basis 0
civilization, for civilization rest

world into the blisstul realms of Gods
honored and blessed heralds, the
invisible wings of the intercepted,
but loving messenger, death, have
borne away from us, since our last
meeting. one who has filled unique
and important places in general and
local church life, and has enabled
many eyes, that looked only at the
scene, while they were with us to
finally follow by faith through the
lmpregnable vista that hides from
mortal sight, and fix our affections
more firmly upon things above,
where our treasures are, and where
faith shall ultimately be lost in renew
ed sight and eternal fruition.
Whereas it has pleased God to call
from our midst one of our Ex-Superin-
tendents of the A. M. L. Sunday
School, in the person of that noble
woman, Mrs. Gearhart.
And Whereas she ives a faithful
Christian woman and a friend to the
Sunday School and Church.
And Whereas she labored to lift
our people up, with her time and
money.
And Whereas she went personally
and collected clothing in order that
The children could attend church and
Sunday school, and when she would
hear of our minister's being in need
she would raise money and provisions
TO help them.
And Whereas God has called her
from labor TO reward.
Be it Resolved that we, the A. M.

tlons to the press in token of the
high esteem in which she was held
by US.

TOWN COUNCIL.
Summary Of Proceedings at January Meeting


The regular monthly meeting OF
Town Council was held last Thurs
day evening. President Townsend
reported that the claim of William
Yeager for damages had been ad-
iusted by the Electric Railway CO.
Street commissioner reported that
cold weather had prevented repairs
to crossings.
Health officer Webb reported sau-
itary condition of town as good,
there being only one case each of
diphtheria and scarlet fever. He is
having no trouble in his efforts to
keep the town in a healthy con-
dition as the people assist very
willingly. He reported, however,
that the physicians neglect in re-
porting contagious diseases to him.
There is penalty for such a neglect
on the part OF doctor and if per-
sisted in should be enforced. The
health Of the community is of more
Importance than the business or the
convenience of any individual fam
lily. 1t was the opinion of the
council that physicians must do
their duty in this respect or the law
will be enforced.
An ordinance was passed pro-
hibiting the burning of paper on
streets or alleys.
Numerous complaints were made
for the failure to remove snow from
pavements, and the street commits.
sioner was instructed to rigidly
enforce the ordinance relating
thereto.
Orders were drawn for bills for
the month and some other matters
OF minor Importance were attended
to and the meeting adjourned.
