Nebraska voters arc getting very clos,
to Gilbert NJ Hitchcock's letter wrltng
csmpsign and are writing him in return
some letters. Some Of these Will doubtless
appear later In the World Herald, but
few Of them will not, for the reason that
the writer's express their true sentiments
concerning the candidate who borrowed
money from a republican state treasurer,
who afterwards went to prison for being
a defaulter, and refusing to return the
borrowed money, alleging that the DEBT
was outlawed while the creditor was CON
fined in prison: who has served several
terms In congress and cannot point to
single thing accomplished Tor his dis
trict: who criucizes the record OF others
on the tariff bill, but who ran away to
Europe while that bill was being put
through congress- and spent money paid
him for services he never rendered; who
has turned down applications from old
soldiers for assistance, and who has gen
orally made a record for himself that he
does not care to see In print That this
candidate Is we'll known to the voters OK
the state may be indicated by some Of the
letters which have been sent to The Bee

RESOLUTIONS.

Wereas, it has pleased God in his
infinite wisdom to transplant to his
heavenly kingdom our beloved cola
borer, Mrs. Gertrude Range, we, the
members of the Sunday-schOol of Num-
sey Memorial church, wish to record
our sorrow at the loss of one who was
always ready and willing for every
good word and work. - Mrs. Range
was quiet and gentle in her manner
and kind to all, therefore she had the
love and esteem of every member OF
the Sunday-school, and her memory
will live with us and her name be cher
ished while the heart beats and memo
nv is true to her office. Her patience
all through her illness showed the
depth of her christian character Not
a murmur escaped her lips; she endur-
ed as seeing Him who is invisible. BY
her christian life and triumphant de-
parture, she commended by her pa
thence and sweet spirit the grace of oul
Lord Jesus Christ, which alone is able
to sustain We sorrowfully bow in
humble submission to Gods will,
knowing that our loss is her gain.
Therefore, be il
Resolved, That the members of the
Sunday-school of Munsey Memorial
church make record of their sincere
appreciation of her christian attain
ments, her constant devotion to the
service of her Master, and the example
she has left for emulation in every
walk of faith, hope and love.
That we sympathile with the bereav
ed husband and son and all the mem
bers of her household who mourn hel
departure and commend them to the
blessing of our Heavenly Father.
Her Savior made of her what h
would; He guided the labor of he
hand; He let her build the work the
Aarchitect had planned. Her body
was frail, but her Lord whom she low
ed and served did not forsake his
dwelling, but let his presence rest ir
the temple of her breast.
That these resolutions be recorded ir
the minute book of the Sunday school
that the local papers be requested IL
publish them, and a copy be furnished
the bereaved family.
