Fell From Chair in Which he
was Sitting Without a
Sound.

John Long, a wagonmaker,
aged about 62 years, dropped
dead in the office OF Ringgenberg
and Cullison Wagon Shop, on
Center street, at 9 Is I. m. Satur-
day. He has no living rela-
tives. Long has been troubled
with heart disease for many years
and frequently had spells with
his heart while at work. This
morning while A. E. Massena
was working on the second floor
OF the shop he heard dull heavy
sound, like a falling body. Mas
sena hurried down stairs, and
found Long lying ON his back,
just as he had fallen from the
chair. No cry, or word had es-
capped the stricken man. When
Massena had reached his side, the
workman was already dead.
The coroner was called and the
body removed to undertaking
ROOMS.
John Long has resided in this
city for about fifteen years. He
has been a boarder at the resi-
dence OF Peter Ulrich. He has
been employed at the Ringgen-
berg and Cullison wagon shop,

Made Many Enemies.

That Albert ]. Hopkins was
not the sort o Imam to whom
men would become warmly at
tachcd is indicated by the fact
that there was great rejoicing in
his own town, Aurora, when the
fact became known that he had
finally been defeated for re-elec-
ton. Prior to his election as SEN
ator. six years ago, Hopkins was
one OF the most popular congress
men in Illinois. AS senator he
seems to have made many en-
emies, although on the popular
vote as candidate for reelection
he led his competitors by many
thousands. "The people" seemed
to be for him, but the legislators
whom "the people also elected,
don't seem to have been inclin-
ed that way.

Prospects Flattering.

The prospects OF a bounteous
crop of all kinds was never more
flattering than now is in evidence
in this section of the state. The
rains have been in sufficient guam
tity to give growing vegetation
a most propituous start. In the
fruit line. apples will be a scarce
article this year. Here and there
we hear of the late apples being
fair crop. The early bloom OF the
strawberries, where they were not
protected by covering, was cut
short by frost and cold weather,
The late berries will furnish a
bouhtiful supply. If present indi-
cations for potatoes do not fail to
materialize, the high price OF the
past few years will be knocked
into a cooked hat, as every where
comes the report OF splendid pros
poets. Grapes seem to have evad-
ed the late frost and the bloom
seems as good as that OF last year

this industrial warfare to the bat
ties of men who fought for the
enthronement of the Goddess OF
Peace and the Union.
AS result OF their battles
noble army of martyrs is born
on the army rolls as the killed
and missing. A silent army OF
noble men 100000 strong who
answered promptly, valiantly and
patriotically the call OF their
country. They lie today in sol
dier graves along the Potomac,
the Rappahannock, the James,
the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
in unknown graves and trenches,
in the woods and the swamps, in
the great National cemeteries, in
public and private burying
grounds, many whose names are
only known in the hearts OF those
they left behind at home.
The debt which we of this gen
Grafton owe to the men who wore
the blue increases as the bles-
sings of liberty, happiness, and
prosperity increase Money can
never pay their debt. The prin-
ciple is of the blood of noble,
courageous, self-sacrihcing, patri-
otic manhood. Let this be an n
terest paying day and let the in
terest be a spirit OF Americanism
which knows no sectionalism,
such as was seen when the sons
of the men who wore the blue
and the sons of the men who
wore the gray marched shoulder
to shoulder under old glory, and
lighted the lamp of liberty over
Cuba. Let this interest be an
Americanism that twill be an all
embracing patriotism filling us
with love OF home, love of coun-
try, a love of God and the spirit
OF peace on earth, good will to-
ward men, peace which will
bring with it the hum OF indus
try, the laughter of happiness
and paeans to merciful and
bounteous God.
No country has done more for
the soldier than our country and
what the country has done for
you soldiers, you have deserved.
Our highest tribute is--Our coun-
Try. the beacon light of liberty for
the oppressed of all the world.
With EDUCATION and morality
in our homes, with loyalty to the
underlying principles of free gov
ernment in our hearts, with law
and justice fostered and exempli-
fed by those entrusted with pub
lie administration, we should be-
queath to our posterity the inner
itance left us by the soldiers liv-
ing and dead whom we honor to-
day, secure in the respect OF man
kind and in the gracious favor of
Almighty God.
Each soldiers name shall shine
untarnished on the rolls OF
fame
And stand the example of each
distant age,
And add new luster to the his
toric page
