The resH Is by far the best newspaper to Ie Kalb county." St.

Joe Sews. Thanks Bro. you make us blush. It may not be out of place to remark that Mr. C.

F. Smith is still in the race for mayor of Indianapolis and If he secures all his family name to support him, the returns may be a surprise next October After all, theaklng mother earth is receiving, may be valuable in more ways than we think, for, why not suppose that the soil will be benefited and pulverized, and why not believe that the injurious insects and laravae that withstand the frosts of winter, will be baked so as to save the crops of the future. There Is some good in It, if we only knew. Patent Commissioner, DenJ. But terworth, has disbarred John Wedder burn from practice as patent attorneys, on the charge of "gross fraud and unprofessional conduct." This should have been done Ion ago, but the last administration seemed to permit the fraud to go on unmolested.

This firm secured itome money in this section, under misrepresentation of facts. Wis hear frequent complaint about railroad corporations and their treatment of the public, but there are a few things a traveling public could observe with credit to themselves, and at the name time merit courteous treatment from conductors and train men. For Instance In getting off and on the cars, there should bo no unnecessary delay, and all reasonable speed should be considered. No one realizes the strain upon the conductor, who Is anxious to make some prominent connection, and may have on board nome passengers wboconld not afford to miss the connecting train. Who knows of the anxiety of such passenger seeking to meet a dying friend, or to transact some Important business, and theft imagine at every station the 'independence" of the traveling public in getting olT and on the train, greeting a friend, or speeding, with slowness, the departing guests, using time that Just ly belong to others.

Why not be! ready to alight at your destination, with promptness and to board the train with reasonable alacrity. Then when the train Is crowded, why not have your tickets ready, and If you know the train ill be crowded hy not purchase your ticket, 'and nave the conductor tho necessity of using the slips required of him to prevent any temptation to dishonesty, thus taking valuable time In making change. We itnessed a scene on the return trip from the Auburn Carnival, which would try the patience of a saint. Conductor Fitch was in charge of the train, four coaches crowded to the doors, and In his effort to make the rounds between Auburn am! Waterloo, It reqalred the greatest alacrity possible on his part, when In the center of tho second coach, he found two "smart" young men, old enough to be honest and nense enough to be responsible, who refused to show their tickets or pay fare, laying claim that they had lost the return ticket. It required fully half of the run between the two stations, to secure half a dollar from these recalcitrant passengers, and as soon as Conductor Fitch's back was turned, they began to chuckle and laugh at their smartness to think 'how they had beat the conductor.

If lynch law is tfver right, then It would have been serving these "smatt les" correctly to have thrown them out the car window without raising the sash. But, happily this kind of travelers are the exception from the majority of well bred people, who do the principal travel In this civilized country. The suggestion above, may be food for reflection to those who think they can abuse an over worked emtloye, Just because he serves a 'soulless corporation." Disfigurement for life by burns or scalds may be avoided by using Ie Witl's Witch Hazel me great the remedy for piles and for sores and skin troubles. all kinds Campbell. of $2.

1SU7; aged 7 years, 4 months, ltf days. The deceased was the second son of Henry and Nancy Beidler, and when he was two years of age his parents moved to Holmes county, Ohio, where they lived the remainder of their lives and wiiere the subject of tills sketch grew to man hot and was married when 22 years of age to Elizabeth Fisher, a native of Ht lmes county. In the spring of 1847 they left Ohio and settled In lHiKalb county, on a tract of wild timbered land adjoining Waterloo on the southwest. This land was entered from tho government by his father. There were but few in habitants in tiie county at that time and pioneer life was lived in the prim itlve simplicity characteristic of the early days.

Out of the wilderness he builded wood homes and by industry and thrift kept pace with the tiuies In whicli lie lived. He leaves surviving him the wife of his early choice, five sons and one daughter, Frank Solomon, Catherine, wife of J. II Taylor, of Kendall vllle, Henry, of Elk hart. Illrani of Chicago, John C. and William of Toledo, O.

The deceased was a member of the U. B. church from the earliest history of that denomination and was a liberal supporter of the same, adhering to the Radical wing during the recent split in the church. He was in politics a republican and in the days of the country's peril was active as a member of the martial band in kindling enthusiasm for his country. He was a good citizen, honorable and just in all his dealings, of times oppressed by financial straits or persecutions resulting from mistaken confidence, but ever faithful and true to his family and friends.

For some years he has been unable to do manual labor on ac count of the overwork of esrlier days in clearing the forests and building the home and he had arranged some time since for the disposition of his es tate. His wire nas oeen a great sui ferer at intervals of recent years and few exoected her to survive her hus band. The immediate cause of death. was a complication of heart failure and paralysis of throat, resulting from a weakened constitution from stomach disorder. The funeral occurred Wed nesday at 10 o'clock from the Evangelical church.

Prayer by Mrs. Ruby. After singing "Soldiers of Christ arise" Mrs.

Singing, 'The Joy of the followed by prayer by Mrs. Ehlers, of Auburn, and as the recording secretary could not be present at the morning session, Mrs. MeClary was requested to act for ber until she came.

Next on program was a paper by Mrs. Stewart, subject, "The deceitfulness of strong drink," as she was not present, Mrs. Cammack took up the topic for discussion by repeating that well known text, "Wine Is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and wbono is deceived thereby is not wise." Her remarks were right to the point, showing many ways in which a man Is deceived by strong drink. Mrs. Jones said that God, the ministers and the W.

T. U. were all united in this work. Rev. Zechiel favored us with a short talk, congratulating the ladies on the good work they were doing, that strong drink was de ceitful, but back of atrong drink were other evils to be overcome, for give us the sons and daughters of the land for temperance and the victory is ours.

Rev. Haines of Garrett, said he was opposed to alcoholic drinks from principle and because Christ was opposed to It. Mrs. Ehlers said there were two classes of people that were deceived. the voters and the woman that marries the man that drinks, and closed with saying, God pity the poor deluded man who is deceived by strong drink.

Music. Sunday School work of the W. C. T. U.

was then taken up by Mla Kate Lei brick, by asking what connection the C. T. U. bad, and what they could do, it was decided that they could pledge the children, and distrib ute temperance literature In the schools. Bible reading by Mrs.

Prayer by Mrs. Jones, after which was sung "Working for the master." The subject, "Kesponsibilltesof mothers" was taken up by Mrs. Erlougher who made a few remarks, followed by Mrs.

Cam mack, who said if she reared her own family as Mrs. Erlougher had hers, she had not lived in vain. Mrs. Ehlers quoted the mothers of olden times, and said if the children of to day were such children as were Samuel) Timothy and Moses, they would be trained in tiie fear of the Lord from their very birth, and a mother's responsibility began then. Parliamentary drill by Mrs.

Cammack, and Mrs. Ehlers took up the subject of "Social purity." she handled her subject in a manner which showed that she had studied it well. Among other things she said was, that impurity of language and impure reading were two of the causes that lead to social Impurity. After singing "Guide me, thou great Jehovah," the reports of corresponding and recording secre taries and treasurer were read and accepted. Reports were given from the different unions showing that they were active, earnest workers and doing what they could.

The election of of ficers resulted as follows: Pres. Miss troubled with irritable bladder weak kidneys. Parents cali help and prevent it, so they tell us in their letters, because it can be CURED The Hobbs Sparafiru Kidney Pills I got from rou for kidney trouble, were ciTen to my son according to directions and so well were we pleased witli the result after a few days trial, that I Eurchased a full box of the llobbs Liver FilK liefore taking the pills our boy had to tret up at night and rery often wet the bed. At school he was forced to leave the room several times a day, on account of kidney pnd bladder weakness. Now he can remain throughout the session and is just about well.
