Obituary.


| The announcement Of the death o.
! Mrs. Sarah Jane Emig, wife Of Henry
Emig at their home in this city about
5 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, April IA,
1908, caused many sad heart and .
shadow Of gloom to spread over this
Icommqnity. While u was known
she was seriously afflicted her many
friends did not think her SO near
deaths door. She had been in poor
Health for some time, being confined
to her bed and then up about her
duties until about three weeks before
her death she was confined to her bed
all the time. The day before her
death an operation was performed
with the hopes Of prolongihg her life
but she never fully recovered from
its effects and she fell asleep and
passed from this world Of afIliction
and pain with her husband and chill
dren at her bedside.
.MrssEmigi was loved by all who
knew her. She was converted In
childhood and led noble Christian
life. She was the mother Of ten chill
dren, nine Of whom are living in
Dickinson county and one has pre-
coded her to the better land. Her
home was ideal In every particular.
She leaves husband, four daughters,
five sons. sister and brothers and a
host of friends to mourn the loss OF
an affectionate wife. devoted mother,
true friend and noble Christian.
In her affection she never lost con-
fidence In her Saviour. We feel sure
she is enjoying the eternal glories OF
heaven and look forward to joyful
reunion there when we have con-
quered the last enemy-deeth.
Short funeral services were held at
the house at 1880 a. m. and at q
o'clock in the afternoon the remains
were brought to Mt. Pleasant where
the church was not large enough to
hold the sympathiEing friends who
gathered to show their respects for
the departed. The beautiful flowers

When Lies BrIohtness Leaves.

The setting of great hope is like
the setting of the sun. The bright
ness of our life is gone. Shadows Of
evening fall around us, and the world
seems but dim retlection-itself a
broader shadow. We look forward
into the coming lonely night. The
soul withdraws into itself. Then stars
arise and the night is holy.

Denver, Col.-The platform Of the
Democratic party, as adopted by a
unanimous vote Of the convention, Is
as follows:
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1908-07-17

VlVing veterans and their dependents
and because it tends to relieve the
country of the necessity of maintaining
a large standing army.
Health Bureau.
We advocate the organization of all
existing national public health agencies
into national bureau of public health
with such power over sanitary cond-
tons connected with factories. mines,
tenements, child labor and other such
subjects as are properly within the jur-
iSdiCtion of the federal government and
do not interfere with the power of the
states controlling public health
agencies.
Agricultural and Mechanical Education.
The Democratic party favors the ex-
tension of agricultural. mechanical and
industrial education. We, therefore,
favor the establishment of district
agricultural experiment stations, the
secondary agricultural and mechanical
colleges in the several states.
Popular Election of Senator's.
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, and regard this reform as the
gateway to other national reforms.
Oklahoma.
We welcome Oklahoma to the sister.
hood of states and heartily congratu-
late her on the suspicious beginning of
great career.
Arizona and New Mexico.
The national Democratic party has
for the last 16 years labored for the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as separate states of the federal union,
and. recognizing that each possesses
every qualification to successfully
maintain separate state governments
we favor the immediate admission Of
| these territories as separate states.
Grazing Lands.
| The establishment of rules and regu-
| lations, If any such are necessary in
| relation to free grazing upon the public
| lands outside of forest or other reser-
Vations, until the same shall eventual
| ly be disposed of should be left to the
| people of the states respectively in
which such lands may be situated.
Water Ways.
Water furnishes the cheapest means
| or transportation and the national
| government. having the control of
| naVlgable waters, should improve them
| to their fullest capacity. We earnestly
| favor the immediate adoption of a lib
| eral and comprehensive plan for inn
proving every water course in the
| union, which is justified by the needs
| or commerce. and, to secure that end,
| we favor. when practicable, the con-
| nection OF the great lakes with the
| naVigable rivers and with the gulf,
! through the Mississippi river, and the
navigable rivers with each other by
! artificial canals, with view to perfect
Ing system Of inland waterways, to be
