of Company F, 47th regiment of Ohio
Infantry. Was married to Miss Jennie
Williams at Bellefontsine, Ohio. Dec.
IA. 1866. Four children were born to
this union, Zua A. and Meverl Writ,
of this city; Clyde Gale, of Suisun
City, California, and Jesse Elwood, of

16 years ago. He leaves one brother
and two sisters to mourn their loss

sister and mis- parents passed on before
Mr.. Hiatt came to this state from
Ohio in 1872. The farm now owned
by Frank Beck was his homestead
where he resided with his family for
several years. After the death OF his
wife he went to California, where he
remained until October, 1899. when he
returned to Carleton, remaining until
the following March, when he went to

health failed him. then he went to
the College View Sspitarium one year
ago, where he remained. atten ded by
the best physicians and trained nurses
till the time of mis- death. Through
all of his suffering he was very patient,
and passed away peacefully and calmly.
He had been an earnest Christian, and
a prave "soldier of the Cross, a true
follower of the Lamb and never feared
TO own His cause, or blushed to speak
His name. Those vino We're with
him in his last hours have cause to
believe that all is well. He and his
wife were of the limited number that
started the NJ. E. Sunday school and
church in this city, and were faithful
workers as long as they lived here with
that branch of work. But ''God's fin
ger touched them and they slept. I"
How beautiful it is for people to die
on the walls of Zion! To be called
like watch-worn and weary sentinels

dwell.
Where love no more deplores the past
Nor breathes that whitening word

The better Judgment of men seems
to be gradually gaining the upper
hand Even the Cincinnati Enquirer
comes out in favor of a clean cam
palgu- 1t says
Patriotic citizens find abundant
cause for encouragement and reassur-
snce in certain salient features of the
campaign of 1901 Especially are they
reassured by the fact that there is
nothing in the personal character and
private record of either candidate to
Justify OF even excuse resort to the
abominable tactics of scandal and vi
tuperation. Neither President Roose-
velt nor Judge Parker furnishes peg
upon which the most unscrupulous en-
envy can hang the thinnest latter Of
detrsction- 1t is to be a fight, of
course, but an honorable one, and
neither in victory nor in defeat need
either antagonist find shame. 1t will
be a gallant battle with clean weapons
from the beginning to the end
