the track for distance of fifteen rods
before the engineer could get it
stopped.
The train contained about one
hundred passengers and aside from
giving them quite jolting down as a
result of their ride on the ties, nc
damage resulted. The remarkable
part of it is that the engine and cars
were not damaged.
The employees of the railway were
occupied all day Sunday in getting
the Train on the track, and the men
who were bound for Port Edwards on

certainly has a very nice pro-

through a large portion of it, This
of course is living stream supplied
by pure spring water. and is the home
for trout in large quantities. Mr..
Wood expects to paint and otherwise
fix up the home, and if he finds a
customer viii sell the entire farm, or
subdivide it into sma Her fractions.
This could be made an excellent stock

DELLA'S TROUBLES
A ChebOygan Girl was not Honest
and Upright.
TRIED TO SKIP OUT
Her Creditors got after her and Re-
lieved Her of Cash and
Clothing.

Della Tallman. a pretty Young Miss came
here from Cheboygan couple OF months
ago to work in one Of the silk mills, ano
by her winning ways and seemingly hon.
est face and purpose succeeded in ingra-
tiating herself into the good will OF her
andady, Mrs. Shoemaker. and severa
business houses of whom she obtained
goods on credit
Della was eighteen years old, handsome
as picture and very pleasing in her ad-
dress and could tell smooth story with
alacrity, though young she was evidently
no summer coon.
Della's troubles began to come thickly
upon her Tuesday morning. when her land
lady ascertained that she was about to
skip out without paying her board. $500
and in posthaste followed her to the depot
where she was about to take the tr ain east.
On being confronted with the bill and
demand for payment she related that her
mother was very sick and she had called
her home, that her brother would send
money to pay the bill. As she hadn' drawn
her check the story wouldn't 60 and the
landlady hauled her over to the silk mill
and got an order for it, which amounted
to $z53.
Her tribulations then began. She had
run her face for fine hat at Nellie Mil
lard's and was wearing it. Mrs. Millard
was notified and went to the depot and
tackled her. Della sprung the same old
story and said it would be all right, the
paw would come. but Mrs. Miard took
the hat while the girl accompanied her to
the store and got her old one in place of
it But her trials were not yet over; when
she again started for the train. barehead-
cd, hat in hand swinging Il -unconesrrcdly
in new paper bag, she was met by A. L.
Spencer Of Spencer Bros. who had been
touched for beautiful coat day or two
before, and taken to the store where she
was stripped of that garment after faith
erly talk. The girl put up smooth story
but he told her he did not believe a word
Of it.
A 3. Hull recovered a pair Of nose
glasses while another landlady, Mrs. o.
Conner with whom she had. boarded and
failed to cash up, retained her trunk.
Della got away just in time to save the
rest of her wearing apparel as it is said
other creditors were after her.
This occurance should be a lesson to
girls as we'll as all others, not to be dis
honest; never to make a purchase with
out paying for it.
On the other hand merchants should be
extremely careful in extending credit.

and peace which he had found. As he
expressed it. his only desire to live was
for the sake OF his family and that he
might be used Of God to lead his friends
and acquaintances to accept Christ as
their personal Savior. While he fully ap-
precated his position in the community as
a citizen, friend and neighbor. he repeat
edly said that his only hope was his be-
lieying on Jesus Christ as his personal
Savior. 1t was the great JOY Of his last
weeks to be permitted to hear Gods word
to have his friends pray with him and to
talk to all who came in Of his blessed re-
ligeous experience.
Today we are led to inquire as to
whether or not we can trust his Judge
ment as to meeting death with the same
confidence we do in other matters.

The FINAL SUMMONS
Ii Has Been Answered by Il.
Frank ireland.
DIED LAST SATURDAY
Awaited Patiently the Eni and Met
Death Bravely with Remarkable
Composurs In the Trying Hour.

T. Frank Ireland is no more. He
passed peacefully away Saturday morn
ing at a quarter past twelve o'clock and
Belding mourns one Of its best friends ano
most loyal citizens.
Eight weeks ago Saturday he and Mrs
Ireland returned home from Long Beach,
Cal. accompanied by Miss Crawford a
competent, faithful nurse and the follow
ing two weeks Mr. Ireland was feeling SO
comfortable, although in bed. that he had
the pleasure of meeting many OF his
friends and business associates with
whom he conversed and talked freely on
matters of business and of the warm
friendship he had tor all, of the pleasure
it gave him TO again meet them and es-
pecially of his love for 8eldng which had
been his home for the past z years. He
regretted that he could not i've for MS
family's sake especially, but SAID he was
not afraid to die and also talked freely
with his family and friends regarding the
future, hoping and expecting to meet
them in the other world. HIS composure
in the trying hour when knowing that he
must soon part with loved ones and life
was very remarkable.
To his physician, Dr. Bell he said he
as comfortable as possible before passing
to the other shore.
Sustained and soothed by an unfaltering
trust
He approached the grave like one who wraps
the drapery OF his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams.
T Frank Ireland was born September
9th. 1857 near Sublette, Ill.,, and his
early life was spent on the farm. This
life so near to nature, and the descent
from sturdy scotch parentage, gave him
physically, mentally and morally GER
tain character and pose that all felt upon
meeting him for the first time; he is a
man.
On March 9th, $3.50, he was married
to Miss Nellie Wilder to this home has
been given three children, Alfred, lmogene
and Walter, and all who ever entered the
doors of this home have felt the keynote
to be loyalty and unselfish devotion to
one another.
For about five years, he was engaged
in the hardware business in Subette;
finally selling out there and moving to
Beldng in January, 1889. 1t is here
with us he has spent the last IL years,
the better part of his lfe's work being
given to Belding and its vicinity.
Twenty five years Of his life he has
been engaged in the hardware business,
and he has made a success Of it not often
reached in so small a town. Beginning
in small wooden store, the business has
grown until now it occupies three story
brick block, the largest hardware store in
lonia county.
Hard times came to him financially, but
T. Frank Ireland has always stood in the
community for an honest man, and he
was justly proud Of his name. Business
honor was the watchword of his business
life.
His success as a business man was
recognized not only in his home town; he
served as president Of the Michigan Re-
