Born, June 9th, 1899, died April
21st, 1904.
Through the every day sunshine
and shade of life's passing hours,
there comes, now and then a dark
ness so great, sorrow so deep,
that even the Christian heart
trembles.
Only for His sake can such hu-
man ties be calmly severed; and
though the heart strings culver
and bleed, and humanity cries out
in its weakness. it can sing above
it's agony:
As God so loved the world, so
l, in poor return. for that bleeding
sacrifice, now lay upon the altar
for Him, this lamb of my bosom,
for He gaveth and He taketh
away, Blessed be the name of the
Lord"

Respectfully submitted,
G. HEUCK,
for the Com.

committee with the suggestion
therein contained, was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Norton, one
of the delegates from beat 5, Hon.
lC. 9. Chrisman, was given seat
in the convention as a proxy for
w. E. Kimball, not being able to
attend.
Resolutions endorsing the can
didacy of Judge Alton b. Parker,
of New York, as the Democratic
candidate for president, we're
adopted, as follows:
Resolved by the Democratic
Party of Lincoln county, in con-
yention assembled, That we en-
dorse the candidacy of Judge Par
ker of New York, for the Demo
cratic nomination for president of
the United States.
Resolved further, that we rec
ommend Hon. j. D. BarkdulI, of
Adams county, and Hon. T. w.
James, of Pike county, to repre-
sent the 9th Congressional Dis
trict in the National Democratic
Convention to be held at St.
Louis.
Resolved further, That two
delegates from each beat and four
from the county at large be elect
ed by this convention to represent
this county at the Democratic
State Convention to be held at
Jackson, and chat on all questions
in said convention the vote of this
county shall be cast as unit, a
majority of the delegates present
to determine how such votes shall
be cast.
Resolved further, That such
number of said delegates as may
attend said convention shall cast
the vote of this county in said
convention.
The following resolution offer
ed by Mr.. Norton was unanimous
ly adopted, to-wit:
Whereas, The Democratic party
has always been bold in asserting
and maintaining the rights and
interests of the Individual and the
state, and has in its essential prin-
ciples favored just and wise gov
eminent, and in party councils
and in appeals to the voters of our
country preferred honest and
honorable defeat to glorious and
unmeaning victory, and hopes to
win upon the issue Of right and
does not ayow or follow any such
misnomer or delusion as expedien-
cy as opposed to justice and the
welfare of the people, and at all
times makes us it right?" the
test, and condemns in positive
terms the wicked proposition of
any thing to win;"
Therefore be it resolved by the
Democrats of Lincoln county,
That we view with alarm the
efforts of the Eastern politicians
to re-organize the democratic
party, and earnestly hope that the
trust-owned and subsidized press
will fail in their desire to re-or-
ganize the Democratic party in
such way as will ape the methods
and policy of the Republican par
lty, and we hereby instruct our
delegates to the state convention
that they labor in all matters with
| those who have been the tried and
willing friends of recent national
platforms, and who have no apoI-
ogy to make for having been
right; and we further instruct
our delegates that they see to it
that the real friends of former
platforms write the present one.

seconded and carried, the chail
man of the convention was in

BUSHES ON TO DEATH,
Train Fails to Stop with Signal Light
Gone.


One Of the worst wrecks in the long
list Of railway horrors occurred Saturday
night on the Pere Marquette Railroad
six miles east of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Twenty-Five persons were killed outright
and twenty-nine persons were injured.
Many Of the injured were crushed and
manned in frightful manner.
The wreck was the result Of head-on
collision Of en- east-b bound aud a west
hound passenger train and was due to
the high wind blowing out the red signal
light set at McCords for the purpose OF
stopping the west-bound train. AS the
west bound train rushed past the opera
tor at McCord's Immediately reported
the fact to the dispatcher, and running
to the signal board found the light was
out.
The two trains were running at full
speed and the engines were reduced to
tangled bits Of wreckage. The first cars
were also demolished and the entire
trains left the track, except the last
coach on each, SO great was the force OF
the collision.
The eastbound train was crowded
with passengers when 1t left Grand
RAPIDS. 1t carried scores OF Christmas
visitors returning to their homes along
the Pere Marquette line after spending
tho holidays in the city. The train was
much heavier than usual on account or
this extra rush. The incoming train also
was heavily loaded. 1t, too, bore hol-
iday crowd, as well as the regular Satur-
day rush Of passengers. As usual, the
smokers were damaged more than any or
the other coaches and in the smokers ey-
cry seat was occupied.
- The wreck took place about half
mile west Of East Paris. There is
curve at that point and long grade
extends from half a mile east Of East
Paris to near the scene of the wreck.
The vest bound train had just descended
this grade when the collision occurred
The speed of the train must have been
very high because Of the velocity by the
descent Of the grade and Of the fact that
the train was trying to make up time.
While the two fast passenger trains,
beyond human recall, rushed through the
binding blizzard to meet in a crash that
snuffed out twenty-five lives and injured
twenty-nine persons, many Of them ia
tally officials of the Pere Marquette Rail
road kept n CHASTITY vigil with death
When the terrified operator at McCord
had licked off his hating message that
the west-bound train had whirled past
his station and was beyond reach the dis
patchers could do naught but call formed
ical aid and order the fastest engine at
tachcd to the wreck train. Then they
bent over their silent instruments, await
ing in agonized suspense the dread mes
sage they knew would come.

An Evil in Food the Law Should
Reach

1kGaCn.
In reference to the use Of alum bak
ing powders Prof Schweitzer, Of the
State University of Missouri, says:
1.-THE deleterious effects of alum and
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder Is dangerous, and should be re-
strictcd.'
The effects Of the continuous use of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in medical publication:
Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion Of the food.
at is an irritant which inflames and
initiates the stomach and intestinal
canal.
1T is an astrinsent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interfeaes
with digestion.
ut renders the albumen OF the food
partially insolublc, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
1T is absorbed into the blood, whi0|
IL lpHtisS 10 tIllChcu ulitl IOdS NV
free flow of the blood through the or
gans Of the heart is thus retarded.
Its continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many or those affec-
tons of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains of alum have
caused the death Of q child. Larger
doses have frequently resulted fatally
in the case Of adults.
"No drug so powerful and deadly, no
matter in what proportions it may be
employed, can safely be used in any ar
ticle of food"
