A Beautiful Sentiment.

An Eldora preacher the other day
delivered the following beautiful
funeral sermon: Here is word 70

are in the air. People kiss the dead
but never stop to kiss the living they
hover over the oasket in hysterical
sobs, but fail to throw their arms
around the loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battle of life. A word
of cheer to the struggling soul in life
is worth all the roses in christendom
piled high on the casket covers. The
dead cannot smell the flowers but the
living can. Scatter them broadcast in
ther pathway, therefore, pluck out
the thorn before it is too late. Iowa

Narrow Escape From Death.

Janitor Pangburn had an exciting
experience, Saturday might, ana one
which probably brought him as near
deaths door as he has ever been or
ever will be till the final casting of
accounts. He had visited friends at
Albert Lea that afternoon and came
home on the Central passenger, just
before midnight. The train was back
ing as he alighted and in some way
he was struck by the car steps and
thrown down between the rail and
the platform. We are told that the
wheel boxes struck him and turned
him over twice, and tho dazed he
had the presence of mind to withdraw
an arm and foot from the rail just
in time to save them from being
ground beneath the wheels. The con-
ductor signalled frantically for the
engine to stop and it stopped just in
time. ana Mr.. Peter Cullen and the
night operator pulled Mr.. Pangburn
from his perilous position, comfort.

but comparatively uninjured. 1t was

Saloons of County in Jeopardy.

A case in court last week has &C.
quainted the liquor dealers in ALBANIA.
kee with the fact that they are all
open to prosecution under the mulct
law by reason Of not having the con-
sent petition of the county properly
filed. Gus Verdon. Lansing saloon
keeper, was indicted some time ago
on complaint Of woman there for sell
ling liquor to her husband. He sought
to defend himself against the charge
but on looking up his case the defect
in the filing of the county petition
was discovered and this left him open
to prosecution for conducting a saloon
contrary to law. A $500 fine was the
penalty and this he felt unwilling ito
pay, being out of the business at pre-
sent. Other dealers in the county
learned of his predicament and after
consultation it was deemed best for
the entire eighteen in the county to
contribute towards this sum and let
the case drop. This being agreed to.
Verdon plead guilty and was fined
$500 and costs which was at once paid
over. But the dealers realize that if
any Of their number is amenable to a
fine they all are in the same boat. and
to remedy the-defect and save them
selves from prosecution another peti.
ton containing the names of 50 per
cent of the voters of the county must
be secured. They will! take steps to
procure.it at the coming election. -
