SMALL POx IN HOUSE;
OWNER SEEKS DAMAGES.
Mrs Polly 0'Connor Asks City For
$500 for Furnishing Shelter for
Small Pox Patients.

Alta special meeting of the city
conncil Thursday afternoon, convened
for the purpose of considering the or
dinance raising the saloon license from
81, 600 to $1,000 year, no action was
taken on this measure owing to the
absence Of Mr.. Howell, the member
who introduced the ordinance.
Rev. Father J. j. Dillon appeared
before the council in behalf Of Mrs.
Polly O'Connor and asked that the
latter be allowed the sum Of $500 dam
ages for the use Of her residence as .
shelter for small pox patients.
The residence is on Franklin avenue
and for the last six weeks has been
under quarantine, two cases Of small
pox having developed there. The
Crawford brothers are the sufferers Of
the dreaded disease and are reported
to be about well. Fred, the first OF
the brothers to contract small pox was
an employe at j. 7. Campbell's restu-
rant and roomed In Mrs. O'Connor's
residence.
The house was placed under quaran-
tine Immediately, with brother and
the victim as the sole inmates.
Mrs. O'Connor's house had been
used as lodging house and previous
to the development of small pox, had
been good source of income.
The matter was referred TO 0 COM
mittee composed of Messrs. Abbay,
Buckner and Ferris.

Blair-Robinson.

William d. Blair, of Emington, and
Miss Eva Robinson, of Mexico, Mo-,
were united in holy matrimony Sun
day at high noon by Rev. James W.
Durham of the First Baptist church
at Hotel Hames.
Owing to the kindness Of Mrs. Geo.
II. Hanes, the marriage was solemn
lied amid almost the same pretty con-
ditions which characterize a home
wedding. Even the company of friends
was not wanting, for although the
bride and groom we're strangers in the
city, Mrs. Hanes had made them so
thoroughly at home among the regu-
lar guests of the hotel that when the
hour set for the solemn service arrived
they were the center of a group OF
friendly well wishers who were happy
to lend their presence to the oscasion.

Fait went into the closet and with his
hand cuffs on, threw up the window
and jumped out, falling and rolling
over several times. The sheriff could
easily see the whole performance and
sprang up, ierked the bell cord ran out

One of the greatest American mi1Iionaires
ouce said to his physician, "a million dol
lars. Doctor, for new stomach, and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One of mans greatest pleasures IS that
born of keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs to
u1auy a good fellow who Is living on small
wages, but the rich man without a stomach
has to forego the good things OF the table
because his stomach rebels. Without a
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood Is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action Is weak, our liver does not do its
duty, and man Is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition rnan IL prey to the germs
of infiuen consumption, malaria and all
the Ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan Of the Invalidss Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago uri-
derstood this disease, and after long Pc
riod of experiment discovered eertain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in patting them up. in q
form that would be easily procured and
ready TO use; THIS he called ~. Fleree' :
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because II contains no
alcohol aud no narcotic. 1t helps diges.
tion and the assimilation of such elements
In the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the al.eady sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. It maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimilats nutritious food. II
cvercomes gastric irritability and symp-
/ torrs Of Indigestion. and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
away with. 1t fortifes the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
Iaria, and II builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is sjust as good as DR.. Pierce'a
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be
cause he hopes to make better profit,
bat his own mixtures have not stood the
test OF long experience nor had the success
that Dr.. Pierce's medicines have had.

He never sought pastorate. He
always said ~ will serve you until you
can do better"
He had no studied manner or
methods In the services be conducted.
His voice was clear and penetrating.
He committed to memory the scrip
lures he desired to use in his sermon,
but never used notes at all. He inn
proved in the use of language by con-
versation, and reading the papers.
He said, HE owed more to ED. S.
A. Beauchamp than to any other
man."
ED. Beauchamp was scholar, and
was helper indeed to his brother OF
less advantages.
He not only preached from the pull
pit but by the wayside, in the home
circle he always loved to talk religion.
He never would state any amount as a
salary. He cheerfully took what they
volunteered to give him. And when
church volunteered to pay him SO
much he thought they ought to do SO.
Not because he demanded 1t, but that
churches should be exceedingly honor
able In all they agree to do.
Soon after his ordination he was
called to Union church southeast Of
Mexico. This was his longest pastor
ate; / think about 20 years. His next
longest pastorate was New Hope,
southwest of Thompson. He preached
seven years at Hopewell his home
church. Four years at New Provi-
deuce, in Boone county. Three or
four years to Corinth church, in Rails
county. One year at Beaver Dam
church, south Of Mexico. He preach
ed some time at Rush Hill, also.
He lived all his life on his farm. He
never quit farm work. He must be
about something every pleasant day.
His seventy years was spent in one
half mile of where bis father built his
| first log cabin In Missouri. In the fall
OF 1854 he built one room house, a
half story above, and In December he
moved into 1t and never moved out
fifty years and three months, He
never sought preferment In any public
way, but neither did he ever shrink
from what he felt to be his duty. In
| war times he was a man of peace.
What this town and county is, he
has borne not a little part in its max
ing. He was a friend to all. He was
familliarIy called "Uncle Billie;'
many men as old as he called him
"Uncle Billie" His honest, earnest
manner gained for him the confidence
of every one who heard him preach or
knew him personally. We think he
did his work we'll, surely conscienti-
ously.
The Lord took him out Of our hands
land care at once. We could only
stand by and look on In the last strug-
gle. The body died, but his spirit
lives with his God, whose be was and
whom he served.
! could as uneservedly speak of his
domestic life, but leave shat In the
hearts of sorrowing, loving children.
In our memories he still lives, and
will so long as memory lasts.
/ Brief funeral services we're held at
bis home by his pastor, @. @. Long, OF
Columbia. 1t was very cold but many
of his kindred and friends assembled
to be present when all that was of the
earth was consigned to the earth.
