He described each view taking the audience, as it were, with him in a jaunt around the Capital City. The vi ws were all fine, distinct and lifelike.

The entertainment as a whole was instructive and historical and should be seen by all who have never been in Washington. Dr. Brown has a few army relics at Dr Noid's drug store, which every old soldier can appreciate, consisting of a huge home made bowie knife, from the Shiloh battle field, a wooden canteen belonging to a rebel from Second Cold Harbor, two shells, and about a pouud of sugar from the batile field of Franklin.

Away along in the warm summer days in March, he got out his seeder and planted a nice bed of radishes. In a resonable time the green buds of the early radish began to peep through the ground, not expecting that they would have to encounter the cold blasts of winter fringed with frost.

These radishes had faith in their planter and kept a coming, aud the planter has lost faith in the weather, as he has to do a large amount of work to keep his crop from freezing. Mrs. Nellie F.

Repp hadn't time to get sick when auctions were numerous, but as soon as the auction rush passed the measles came around and took in the Colonel as a fit subject.

This announcement was not unexpected by his friends in this city, as he had been very low for several weeks, and a patient sufferer for several months. He had been a clerk in his brother's dry goods store for a number of years and was a general favorite with all. He left the store last July and shortly after went to Michigan to consult medical experts accompanied by his devoted wife. No relief was found and the doctors there maintained that he had no consumption, but was troubled with some catarrhal disease in the head. At any rate he came home to die, as no relief could be found for the patient, heroic sufferer.

He lingered along during the fall and winter, gradually nearing the end, conscious that he was fast approaching the grave where all must And rest. The end came and the life thread that bound him to loved ones was broken. He was married over a year ago and returned from his wedding trip in January 1893, full of hope and happiness for the future. He was happy in his brief wedded life, and no man had ever a more devoted and faithful companion. The chief mourners are his wife, father, three brothers and two sisters.

The funeral took place from the Methodist church Thursday at 2 o'clock, under the direction of Rev. Rifenbark, and as a mark of respect for the departed, all business houses were closed during the funeral ceremonies. The funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in Canton, and the remains were buried in the Lutheran cemetery northeast of town close to the grave of his mother. He was a noble hearted young man, generous, of a loving disposition, devoted to home, family and friends, and esteemed by all. Dr.

I. Wickliff Bouldin. A Living Monument to His Success as a Well Known Case in Dell Rapids, South Dakota. James W. Thompson, a young man nineteen years of age, of this place, had been a sufferer from catarrh for five years, until about two years ago, when a small ulcer appeared inside the nose, which gradually extended until it developed into that dread disease known as Lupus, a variety of cancer.

Through the ravages of this disease the septum of the nose (the partition between the nostrils) was entirely destroyed, perforations had appeared through the soft palate into the throat, and the entire posterior nasal cavity was a foul raw ulcer. Externally the sore extended until it had involved the entire nose, the greater part of the cheeks, anc3 the upper lip, and the appearance of the entire surface was that ef a foul ulcer, and the stench from the sore was at times so terrible that his friends could not remain in a closed room with him, and he was excluded from the school on this account. The sufferer had, from the time of the developing of the disease two years ago. been under the treatment of many of the leading physicians and specialists of 1 Inwest, but without success, constantly growing worse until his friends and physicians had given him up to die. and using his own words.

"I have often been templed to commit suicide, preferring it to the horrible death before me."
