Death of MRS. Clemens Young.

Elenora Braun was born October 4,
1895, at Neidersaulhein, GERMANY
She was confirmed IN the Lutheran
church at the age of IA; came to the
United States at the age of Is; mar
ried Clemens Young June 2, 1855;
moved to present home in Trego
county in 1880.
Mrs. Young died April IL, 1904, at
the age of 68 years, 6 months and I
days. She was the mother of six chill
dren, all of whom survive her-MrS.
Thomas Reddig, of Rock Island, ILL.,
Mrs. George S. Downing, of Moline,
ILL.,, Mrs. G. L. Garrigues, George,
Otto and Robert Young, all of west
ern Kansas. Clemens Young died
May 10, 1897. Sister Young was only
sick few days, and her death was
surprise to all-death resulted from
an old standing stomach trouble in
addition to the prevalent pneumonia.
She was conscious until the last. She
was one who put in practice the Cos
pei of the Christ she loved, and her
last wish was that she could tell to
those of her children who were not
converted that the religion that was
good enough to live by was also good
enough to die by.
She was like her master before her,
one who went about doing good. She
will be sorely missed by the family.
She leaves host of friends who had
come to look upon her as belonging to
every one. May the Lord raise up
some one to take her place.
All of the children were at the fun
eral except Robert.
The funeral took place in the NJ. E.
church in Utica, on Wednesday. April
ID. Services were conducted by Rev.
d. B. Brooks assisted by Rev. F. ID.

DR.: P. M. Hall, commissioner OF
health, proposes an active propaganda
in favor of the bonds for the filtration
system proposed by the pure-watel
commission, and is trying to make ar
engagements with the campaign commit
tees to speak at their public meetings.
He has not received much encourage
ment from the leading politicians, who
maintain that the candidates who pay
for the meetings should have the time;
but if he cannot do anything thru the
campaign committees he can thru the
ward clubs and the Independent organ
izations.
cit is Of vastly more Importance to
the people of this community to have
pure water than to get a certain man
into minor offce,' declared DR.. Hall
this morning. GA system Of filtration
is absolutely essential, for IN no other
way can there be any means taken to
prevent typhoid fever epidemics, such
as the one which prevailed last winter
and spring and which may be repeated
at any time with possible great effects.

CARBON GOES TWO WAYS
Curious Condition in the Diamond and
Sugar Markets. -. -

Prices for different grades Of crys-
talline carbon have taken a divergent
shoot, sugar having gone down 10 cents
on the hundred pounds and diamonds
having advanced per cent in cost.
Sugar has fallen thru the competition
Of the manufacturers Of cane and beet
sugar; diamonds have risen because the
mineowners have combined to regulate
the supply. The announcement of the
change in prices was made yesterday.
Sugar has been high all summer,
more SO than usual on account Of the
large demand for canning purposes; but
the supply increased faster than the
mand for diamonds continues strong
and the output is carefully managed
so that an increase in price can be
made about twice year. It was
thought that after the Boer- war the
price would drop on rough stones, but
it has increased steadily since the South
African mines were reopened. The de-
crease in one commodity will about
balance the increase in the other, and
the aggregate expenditure for crystal
line carbon will remain the same. - ;.
