Chicago, Aug. 11.-There is a revival
Of talk concerning the formation of q
new stock yards corporation to build
a general stock yards on the Stickney
tract on the Chicago drainage canal.
This project is credited to the Hatelry
Bros, former packers. now engaged
In board Of trade operations. They are
said to have secured extensive inter-
ests in the properties that we're once
In the possession Of President Stick
ney, Of the Great Western railroad.
In this connection, Isaac Heitner, a
cattle speculator at the yards, who has
also conducted slaughtering operations,
has secured two killing plants and has
entered the field as an Independent
packer.
Determined efforts are now being
made to settle the stock yards strike
by mediation. Negotiations begun be-
tween the Retail Butchers and Gro
GERS association and representatives
OF several labor unions. which would
undoubtedly be involved in the strike
should 1t be prolonged much longer,
resulted In the appointment OF q COM
mittee composed Of those who attend
cd the meeting to, negotiate with the
packers in an attempt to bring about
a joint meeting between the employers
and the striking unions. It wal the

ranged between the two opposing in
~terests. a settlement satisfactory to
both sides could be realized.

seem 70 hold despotic sway and
with none to molest pursue the

thing their vagrant fancy chances to

animate or inanimate, and the
deadly missile goes after it regard

Journalism one of its ablest expo

the soul of honor, he was liberal in
his views; but his stern and uncom-
promising sense of duty made him
an adversary to be feared whether
in the forum of debate or in the COL
umns of q newspaper. In him
burned the pure fires of patriotism

thrown to the winds before the In

and readiness in using the sword not
less conspicuous than that plimar.

his apprenticeship when a lad OF
fourteen he became in few years

career.

Obituary.

Mis- Mary Elizabeth Camliu died
at her home near Harpers, S. G.
February l6, 1904. She was in her
Gath year. She joined the Metho.
dist church, South, when girl and
soon afterwards was converted. She
was married to W s Camlln, Sr.,
who served his county (Williams-
burg as representative in the Lower
House for some time. To this union
were born nine children, four of
whom have gone before, and five
are still with us-four sons and one
daughter. These with Brother Cam
lin are left to mourn their loss.
Mrs Camlin was an intense suf-
ferer fo: many many long years.
She had spell of fever years ago
from which she never fully recov-
cred, and about fifteen years ago her
cheek bone was broken and her per-
son otherwise badly bruised in cy-
clone which swept house and almost
every thing on the place away. For
weeks she hung between life and
death and even the physician said
she must die. Bet in this shattered
state she sorvived only to be Grip
pie and live an invalid's life. The
writer knew her personally for. sew
eral years. Her faith was strong
and her hope was bright through the
years. She was on speaking terms
with the Master. She often talked
to her children abont her conversion.
1t was clear. She didn't complain,
but bore her affliction with Chris
tian grace. A kind friend, loving
wife and true mother is no more
with us. She often expressed her
self as being ready to so when the
Master called.
When she realized that the end
was near she called the children to
her and said: "Take care of your
father. You all must hive in peace
and brotherly love-. Then repeated
the words: "Bless the Lord o my
soul and all that is with in me, bless
His Holy name'', and raising her
hands IS in triumph she soon passed
into sleep. REV. j. B. WELDON.
