A HERO FALLEN,

Dear Sir: I know your space is
limited, but I want room to say a
few words concerning one of your
most devoted friends.
John A. c. Thompson, who de-
parted this life the 18th inst. was a
loyal friend of yours and a strong
believer in the principles which you
have been battling for SO long All
through the conflict Of the COS he
was faithful, never doubted your
ability to lead safely and surely to
victory. He was ever ready to lend
a helping hand to the cause he so
much loved. One of the last things
he did was to renew his subscription
to The Jeffersonian. The cause has
lost a strong supporter in the death
Of Mr.. Thompson, and you, Mr.. Wat
son, true friend We, as his com
rades, feel deeply the loss of Mr..
Thompson, but with courage mean
to press the battle onward.
May He who doeth all things we'll
comfort the bereaved.
A FRIEND.

HEAVEN AND OUR SAINTED
LOVED ONES.

Rev. E. w. Pfaffenberger, of Boon
vile, Mo-, editor of the sprightIy
Western Christian Union, was led to
write tract some time since which
has been a blessing to multitudes.
The tract is *Heaven and Our
Sainted Loved Ones" 1t is a medi-
tatiOn on death and immortality, and
is so natural, so elemental and vic
tOriOus that it touches the depths of
the soul. If we may indulge in a
personal reference, we read the
booklet in the waning afternoon as
the train was shooting down the bank
Of the Hudson. We will never out
grow or forget the impression made
by the booklet, page after page,
touched with pathos, but each mar
rative eliminating in triumph too
deep for tears. We are glad our
brother wrote that booklet, and now
that all the sales of the book are
devoted to educating his son, we
know the circulation Of the book
will serve a tWo-fold purpose, bless
ing him that sells and him that buys.
Even so. We wisely trust it's oircula-
ton may be large. Price, 10 cents,
silver.-Rev. DR.. G. B. Spencer in

Free Wool FIGHT

WASHINGTON, April "A bitter
| fight will be prccipitated in the Dem
ocratic caucus when the question Of a
tariff on raw wool is submitted. The
far western, middle western and the
New England Democrats will be aligned
with the Southern Democrats in de-
| mand that duty be retained on raw
wool. They fear the competition Of
Australian and other foreign woods.
Secretary Bryan has advocated free
raw wool for a number of years. He
is still insistent that free raw material,
which includes wool, is a cardinal prin-
ciple OF the Democratic doctrine. Chair
man Underwood OI the ways and means
committee contends that tariff on
woods is necessary to produce needed
revenue for the government.
II is impossible to forecast action by
the caucus. Old Democratic members
OF the house are IN a majority behind
Underwood. Bul i0J new Democratic
members are entering. and what leader
