and accepted by this post, standing
with uncovered heads, with reverence
and in memory of the brave young hero
who is gone, who gave his life to save
the dear old flag from dishonor, and
the nation he loved from destruction.
We honor and revere his memory.
He was indeed a hero and one
of natures courtiers, affable, gener-
Gus and charitable; and as we gaze
upon that statue the embodiment of
youth and vigor, he represents the
highest type of human manhood, we
feel his presence, and are awed into
silence. We thank God he has lived.
for it is he and such as he we de-
light to honor, for it was he and his
kind the nation should remember. for
they were the nations hope. Like a
meteor he flashed across the horizon,
for time his chivalry and bravery
illuminated the skies, then he was
gone. and gone forever. But his name
and deeds are inscribed across the blue
arch of heaven in letters of FURNISHED
gold, where they will live forever. as
an inspiration for the ennobling OF the
youth of all lands for all the genera
tions to come Again thanking you
for these precious treasures which
we honor, appreciate, and accept,
which we will hang in the most prom
inent place in Memorial hall. where
they will remain long after the last
comrade of General John Buford has
passed away. We are yours, respect
fully,

Declared.

Clean Clothes and Towels Found on
5ank-Wife is Summoned From
Peoria-Congregatio Mourns.

After an investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the discovery of
the body of Rev. Frank w. Hoover in
the pond on the Coal Valley Mining
company's land near Sherrard, Coroner
l.. V. Eckhart yesterday afternoon is
sued a certificate of death by accidental
drowning, no inquest being held. The
remains had been removed from the
pond to the undertaking rooms of f. c.
Danielson, which is in Mercer county.
The evidence which Coroner Eckhart
secured shows conclusively that the
minister's death was accidental. The
body was naked when discovered, and
on the bank was found Mr.. Hoover's
clothing, together with a bundle con
tanning some clean clothes, a towel and
some soap. Inquiries made at Sher-
rard showed that Mr.. Hoover had been
seen last about 10 o'clock Tuesday
night. All day Tuesday he had worked
about the church grounds.
