AT THE POINT OF DEATH

As we write Claude Robbinault lies
at the very threshold of death and be-
fore this reaches our readers his soul
will in all probability have passed
away. For a year he has been a
victim of diabetes although this last
acute attack has been of but short dur
alton. He has been in great agony
for the past twenty-four hours ana
death will come as a welcome relief
from suffering. Claude has been an
Industrious helpful young man, a
great comfort to his parents and a
favorite among his friends. Our
hearts are with him and his loved
cnes as they pass through the Valley
Of the Shadow.

Town, Who Has Taken Possession.

The latest business change is the
purchase of the Parlor Bakery by
Mr.. Salem Town. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobsen have made success of this
business here and have won a host of
friends. Mrs. jacobsen plans an
European visit in the near future and
Mr.. Jacobsen has made no plans, but
it is not probable that he will long
remain idle. Mr.. Town. the new
proprietor is a we'll known citizen. of
highest integrity and of excellent
business ability. He will conduct the
business on the best possible basis.
Later Miss Rose Larson. now each

service, but changed her mind and

form heard the words as they fell
from the trembling lips of the presi-

down his sad face. AS Mrs. McClel-
Ian read the memorable words, the
hearts of her hearers were stirred to
hear them from the lips of one who
heard them first spoken by the great
emancipator himself. As if by in
spiration. rather than because of the
printed program. the audience here
joined in singing "Nearer My God to

blue lights were turned alternately
upon it. This was very effective.
Many were the words of appreciation
of the ingenious idea. The general
lights were turned on. showing the
stage handsomely draped in flags and
hung with portraits and casts
of Lincoln and his contempor-
aries. Seated on the platform were
Mr.. j. B. Lyon, captain of S. of w.,

Capred Proiectiies.

Ii III curious fact that armor pierre
ing shells having soft metal caps on
the point are more effective than those
not so provided The way in which
the cap acts is not well understood. A
needle may be driven into a board
with a hammer when II is thrust
through a cork, whereas It would
break off unsupported. Some have
thought that the soft cap supports the
hard point of the projectile in the
same way. A British naval architect
who has been studying the mutual ac.
tion of proiectile and armor says that
a she'll frequently fails because a very
small piece of the point is forced back
into the mass and splits It, A large
piece is then similarly forced back
and so on The main advantage of the
soft cap, this writer thinks, is to pre-
vent such splitting. Caps are inef-
fectiye at low velocities, but would
probably be less so II made larger.

1876 dots. Sitting Bull was the chief

Sioux tribe was largely recruited from

Penn made the famous treaty. Other
