~ N4l' VI ~ NJ ''''N ~ NJ
At his home in Erkhart Md. Tues
day, January 30, 1906, Capt. Edward
Davis, for many years prominent
citizen and trustworthy convoy con
ductor on the Eckhart Branch of G. &
II. Railroad. He was esteemed bv his
employers as no mans man, and that
was the keynote of his whole character.
Yet those who knew him in public
life only did not know him at his best.
1t was III the cabooSe, surrounded by his
fellow tralnmen, III the freedom of I'M
restrained intercourse, that he appeared
to the greatest advantage 1t was then
we really knew him aud appreciated his
true worth. His education was not of n
kind that Is soon forgotten i'll the ;uml.lt
of busy life. His knowledge of public
affairs surprised everyone
Alas! he has passed from our mortal
ken. Farewell, dear friend, never again
shall we see thy stalwart form walking
the road that you loved so we'll Never
again Shall we hear thy cheerful voice,
or feel the warm grasp of thy friendly
hand
The genius of the sculptor can give
his monuments of granite and bronze
form and beauty, but it cannot formu-
late anything more beautiful and nobler
than Capt. Davis character.
Therefore. let us lay our hearts at the
foot of the Cross, and accept his death
for the sake of Him who died that we
may have assurance OF meeting each
other again. AN ECKHART TRAINMAN.

BURN THE MISSIONS.
OUTBREAK OF CHINESE MOSS
AT NANCHANG.
Fourteen Americans Escape, but an
English Family Is Murdered
American Gunboat Ordered to

Consul-General Rodgers at Shanghai
has cabled the state department that
the American mission stations at Nan
chang in the province of Kianjsi have
been destroyed The probable cause is
local. kilograms received at Shanghai
from Nanchang state that the fourteen
missionaries escaped, but the bingham
family, English, two adults and two
children are reported to have been
killed.
The American gunboat FL Cano at
Nankin has been ordered to proceed i'm
mediately to Kinkiang. The scene of
the trouble is about 400 miles up the
Yangtse river. A later dispatch from
Mr.. Rodgers says that the inland Bri-
ish missions are reported TO be safe. A
cablegram from Commander Fletcher,
the senior officer of the Raleigh at
Shanghai, received at the navy depart
General Rodgers report.
Reports of rioting at the American
mission station in Nanchang and the
escape of eight American missionaries
stationed there were received in by
cable at the Methodist board of foreign
missions. The Methodist board has a
mission station at that place. The
cablegram, which was sent by Bishop
J. w. Bashford, Methodist Episcopal
bishop resident at Shanghai, and made
public by DR.. II. II. Carroll of the
Methodist board, is as follows:
Mission of Nanchang destroyed in
riot. Methodist missionaries escaped

How to Grow Devberries,


In the Fruit Grower, J. NJ. Austin
gives his experience in growing dew
berries. He does not believe in the
trellis system, but treats the plants in
way to make bushes of them, so that
they Decome self-supporting The first
year The ends are clipped off when
about a foot long, being done from time
to time all summer, as needed. This
makes round, bushy plant by the end
of the season. Then when blooms are
dropping and fruit begins to form, the
new gr0wth is clipped off at about to
) inches from the ground.
This is done twice while the fruit is
growing and ripening, as it keeps the
growth away from the pickers and
sends more sustenance to the fruit. AS
soon a. the fruit is gathered clip out
all shoots that bore the fruit close to
the ground, that the growth which will
bear the coming year may be stronger.
Should the bushes be too thick in
spring, thin out by cutting away some
of the growth. Mr.. Austin has found
that a rather heavy soil is preferred;
but it is true that in their wild state
they are found in soil not at all heavy,
and thriving well, too.
Cultivation is a great help TO the
dewberry, and as the roots are of
penetrating nature they are not apt to
be broken by the harrow when working
the ground, as happens with black
berries.
