Adjourned Meeting of County
Commissioners.

AT the adjourned meeting of the
county commissioners this week,
considerable business was transacted.
The question of bridge construction
was disposed of as stated in another
place. The bridge at Houghton is
across IA sink hole lying east of the
river. 1t reanires fully as expen-
sive a bridge as one on the river, in
fact it is the same size as the one
at Burton's grove, having a As foot
span with 16 foot approaches. 1t is
estimated that these bridges will
cost $500 each. The bridge at Mud
creek is on the county line and Sphinx
county pays half Of the cost Of
construction The commissioners
realize there is need of a new bridge
at Ordway, and also owe the Jim near
The old Columbia mill site, but in
each case there is a question OF right
| or way that must be tirst settled.
These matters being settled, in time

to the old North Mountain mine. to
search for the missing one.
"Oh. hasten! hasten!" she cries, as
she fees over the ground at the head
of the rescue party. Love seemed
to give her new strength, and speed.
The mine was soon reached, and the
very pillar beneath which John Fayne
had been buried was found They saw
that he had been at work here and
they also saw that an extensive cave

experienced miners, and thev shook
their heads gravely when the almost
frantic wife asked them if there was
any hope.
No, there is no hope for poor John
Fayne! 1t would take days to remove
that mass of coal and rock, and he
would then be dead, as he no doubt
now is, for think he must have been
instantly crushed" said an aged miner
to a companion.
The work of removing the ''falI'
was commenced, and after a time the
bereaved wife was induced to return
to her babe. She had not gone far
when boy gave her a letter which
had arrived but an hour before. She
opened it, and found that it was from

She had now reached her own cot,

name:

No pen can describe the thrilling
joy, the heart and soul of gladnesg
that she threw into that cry. The
next moment she would have fallen
fainting to the ground, but the strong
arms of John Fayne, alive and in the
flesh, caught her to his breast In a
moment she recovered, kissed back to
consciousness by the husband she
mourned as dead.
How did he escape? How came he
here? He had as we have said, given
up all hope of escape, when he felt
the floor upon which he rested giving
way, and in another moment he fell
with g portion of the floor into a
chamber Of a lower avenue of the
mine. He was somewhat bruised by
the fall, but not seriously injured and
as there was a ready way of egress
from the lower avenue, he soon made
his way to the surface of the earth
once more, and fastened to his home
At this precise time the rescue party

The Departed.

The departed! the Departed
They visit us il dreams,
And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams:
But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant luster burn,
The departed, the departed,
Can never more returni
The good, the brave. the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirgelike music
OF the ever-tossing deep!
Or where the surging night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces,
In the cities of the dead!
look around, and feel the awe
Of one who walks alone,
Among the wrecks of former days.
In mournful ruin strown:
I start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice of the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice! 1t mingles with
Each free and careless strain:
/ scarce can think earth's minstrelsy
Will cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves.
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to me
AS their remembered words.
I sometimes dream their pleasant smile.
Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love l family hear
My, name in sadness call.
l know that they are happy,
With their angel plumage on,
But my heart Is very desolate
To think that they are gone.

Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well

the starches have been transformed
