After a Lingering Sickness.
Deep Sorrow Of Friends,

Tie light of the house has gone
out, the friend of the poor and needy
has departed,a one of the loveliest
of women has passed from the scene
of earthly activity. At 1880 p. 20.
Wednesday,at the family home, occur
red the death of Mrs. R.E. Wallace
from Brfght's disease after long..and
sturdy battle against the .cruel pro-
gress of the malady Several weeks
ago it was known to the members Of
the family that death was not far
away. The patients strength has
been gradually lessened each day and
while there we're hopeful gains, they
we're but temporary, and each change
for the better was only to. be followed
by relapse for the worse.
The news of her recent serious con-
dition became gradually known and
alarmed her circle of friends in the
city, who each day made the same
anxious inquiry as to he' condition
to which no favorable response could
be learned.
A few days ago there vas a copsul-
tation of her physicians, including
DR.. Darrow of Fargo, but the sad
conclusion was reached that no hu.
man aid could long save the loved
one from the common destiny of all.
Last August Mrs. Wallace suffered
from stroke of paralysis from which
she was Frustrated for number Of
weeks, but gradually recovered, and
again delighted her friends by ap-
pearing at intervals and looking
something like ..her former self.
There were hopes, also, that she
might fully recover her strength, but
the last. three. months have gradually
stifled such anticipations, and the
best that could be looked for was a
prolongation each week Of the. life
held by.'sucn slender thread.
The last day or two the patient
has shownsmore manifest evidences
of failing vitality. Lack Of ability tt
retain nourishment, had for SOM
;. time hastened her decline, and so a
noon today, with the sun shining
brightly outside, the cheerful ligh
of her countenance went out foIeve
and she passed peaceably and quietl
away, Tired out and ready for the end
4 1t is one of the saddest of tasks t
3 tell OF the loss of so estee med
friend and such a general favorite
Mrs. Wallace has spent her life il
what has been practically the life G
the city in,which she lived and mad

when it was village, in May, 1880
and has been closely identified wit
the social and charitable events of tn
city almost constantly since. He

manliness and gracious gifts of ma
