Brought down to its last analy-
SIS, the meaning is to rise, to
spring up into the newness of
life, garbed in all the beauties of
the resurrection.
On Friday. preceding Sunday,
the 3rd day after being deposited
in the tomb, Christ arose from
the dead. He had declared de.
family that He would rise again
and the crucifiers Knocked Him,
yet they feared Him and must
have believed such thing as
dead man rising from the grave,
because huge stones were placed
over HIM and squad of Roman
soldiers were put on guard to
guarantee His safety, and pre-
vent any possibility of His rising.
But it is written that early in the
morning OF the third day, He
arose. Mary MagdaIene is
said to have first appeared there
and ran away to tell the apostles,
Peter and John, running swift
" to bear witness TO the news.
The people came amaz I'd. They
went down into the grave and
looking. found no one. The angel
said: Why seek We the living
among the dead. He is not here
but is risen, and became the first
fruit of them that slept.
So Easter is a great day in the
christian calendar 1t is not nee
essary TO strive to get fine ha
or clothes for Easter. But rise
from your deathly lethargy and
come forth into the newness of
life-be men and women of pure
hearts and transcendnt in
thought. Jesus Christ came into
the world not to condemn but to
condone and save them that emu
late Him.
ASK yourself the question:
Have | been resurrected or am |
yet buried ia the grave?

DEATH OF CAPT. GUSTAV A.
BUSSE.

Thousands of ChicagOans were deep.
ly shocked on last Saturday night to
hear of the death of Capt. Gustav 4.
Busse. father Of Mayor Fred A. Bussc,
and one of the best known old resi-
dents Of Chicago.
His long and honorable career had
rallied around him a big army Of
friends and his loss will be felt by
all of them.
The Eagle extends Its deepest sympa.
thy to his widow and family.
Captain Busse was born In Germany
and came here In 1855. His parents To-
Gated on the North Side, his father.
John II Busse, establishing a grocery
business at Clark and Illinois street.
Gustav assisted his father about the
store, but he always evinced an interest
In public affairs, and the time he could
spare from his duties he devoted to
politics. Within few years he became
prominently identified with the Repub-
lican party In the old Sixteenth Ward
how the 1wenty-first. But with the
breaking out of the Civil War Mr..
Busse temporarily abandoned his per-
sonal aspirations and enlisted In the
Twenty-fourth Illinois Volunteer Infan-
try. He was promoted to the rank OF
| lieutenant and later became a captain
In the Fifty-seventh Illinois Veteran
Infantry.
During the war he served In the Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth Army Corps nm
der General Sherman. When hostili-
ties closed he returned to Chicago ana
established himself in the hardware
business in North Clark street, near
the old grocery store.
In 1871 his friends urged him To en-
ter the aldermanic race. He reluctant
~ consented. for, although he always
maintained his keen interest In polit'
ical affairs, he never had solicited
office.
In that particular campaign SD
Kehoe was the Democratic nominee
The contest was lively and Kehoe's
friends were confident of success. but
when the ballots We're counted Captain
Busse was found to have been elected
by an overwhelming vote.
Captain Busse held his seat In tho
City Council for two years, serving a'
one Of the Aldermen during the Chicago
fire. Upon the expiration Of his tern
! he declined to accept a denomination
devoting himself to his business affairs
until fifteen years ago, when he retired
