According to advices from Buen-
aventura, Colombia, the government
OF Panama has stationed a military
garrison at Nugui, a city at the
Junction of the Atrata and San Juan
rivers. In taking this step the Pan
anna people have assumed formal pos
session of wide strip of the Colom-
bian department Of Cauca, which, ac-
cording to map Of Greater Colom-
bia, issued in 1880 at Caracas, was
originally the southern extremity Of
the old department Of Panama. If
Panama, morally or by force, sue
ceeds in maintaining her conquest,
she will acquire an additional Pacific
seaboard extending from the 18TH
mus proper south to Punta Limones,
near the mouth, of the Baudo river,
distance of about 100 miles. The
minimum width Of the territory is
eighteen miles, the greatest fifty
eight. The news of the seizure is
said to have created intense excite
ment and Indignation at Bogota,
where the people have associated
the affair with the Americans, whom
they believe to be seconding the op-
erations of the Panama people and
to be prepared to lend armed assis-
tance if necessary.

Obituary.

Sacred to the memory of Mrs.
Delaney Knight, who died August
10, 1904, at her home near An
napolis, Iron county, Mo.
The subject of this sketch was
70 years, 6 months and t3 days old.
She was born in Indiana and
moved with her parents to Arkan-
sas when a mere child, where she
was reared to womanhood. She
was left widow at the close of
the civil war. She moved with her
aged parents to Arcadia, Mo-, and
located there in 1865, where she
worked hard and faithfully to sup
port her little children and gave
them all the advantages that she
could at that time. She also ac-
cumulated enough to buy her a
small farm near Annapolis, where
she lived and reared her children
until grown, married and doing
well. BY her industry and faith
in God and constant prayers every
thing seemed to work together for
her good. She was a loving mother
and devoted Christian and had
lived as such for more than forty
years. She was kind to children,
her grandchildren and neighbors.
Though she was sick for a long
time she never complained but
continued to pray for herself and
those who were near and dear to

The DEVILS Soliloquy.


One night as the devil sat musing alone
In the midst of his cosy warm fire,
Trying to figure the difference in guilt
Tween thief and an all-round liar,
His memory turned to the scenes of his
youth,
And his eyes filled with hot boiling tears
So he took down his ledger and turned to a
page
Dated back about six thousand years.
81 suppose" he exclaimed, as he glanced
through the book,
"1'm doing the best that can,
For my business denotes continual in
crease
Ever since the creation of man.
I've cribbed good harvest for six thous-
and years,
And should be content with the yield,
And give my opponent permission to have
The gleanings leave in the field.
I've gathered very diversified crop
Of merchants and lawyers galore
I've bound politicians in bundles until
the ends of my fingers are sore.
I've fddlers, gamblers and insurance men;
I've murderers, forgers and liars;
And fill up my furnace with green Popu-
lists
Till they actually put ont the fires.
s've railroad conductors to spare,
Horse traders and preachers to spend,
Republicans, Democrats, Tories and Wings
And two or three newspaper men,
But there one class am happy to say,
Can never gain entrance here;
Their souls are so dirty, am sure that they
would
Demoralize hell in year.
81 refer to that thing neither human nor
beast
The carrion crow of the world
Who never is happy unless he can feast
On the wreck of an innocent girl.
A million of years in my warmest of rooms
His ISLANDERS would never atone;
So gave him match and advised him to
start
A select little hell of his own"
With his fingers he lit an asbestos cigar,
And placing his book on shelf,
He muttered: 81 may be a very bad man,
But I've got some respect for myself"

Obituary.

Bertha F. Shelton, daughter of
D. j. and Martha D. Shelton, was
born in Iron county Aug. 5, 1879
and departed this life at Ironton,
Mo-, Aug. 10, 1904, aged "a years,
IL months and 19 days.
She professed faith in Christ at
the age of IL years and joined the
the M. E. church, south, in whose
communion she lived a faithful
and consistent Christian life until
she was called to the church tri-
umphant.
Sister Bertha was loved by all
for her affectionate ways. A smile
and a kind word won for her many,
many friends. She was indeed the
light of the Sanitarium here, where
she spent the last few months of
her life on earth.
May her last words, "Meet me
in heaven" with many others as
precious prove ministry of good
to the bereaved and comfort them
till they meet at last in that union
that can no more be disturbed.
According to her request Revs. T..
G. Peterson and A. D. Burress
conducted the funeral services in
the M. E. church, south, at Gale
donia, Mo-, in the presence of a
large and sympathizing congrega-
tian. The remains were laid to
side her brother to await the res
surrection of the Just. May that
blessed morning heal forever the
wound that is made in the home
and in the heart by bringing to-
gether at last, father, mother, broth
ers and sisters where death can
never more divide. Till then, dear
Bertha, farewell.
