ARE CALLED HENCE. JAMES 1'IJBltCe. James Pierce, one of the best known and most estimable veteran residents of our neighboring village of Plover, passed away at his home last Sunday morning. He had not enjoyed good health all winter, having suffered greatly with rheuntotism, but was able to be about most of the time. Not until last Thursday morning were the immediate members of the family sufficiently alarmed at his condition to call a physician, he having been taken suddenly worse.

From that time until his death on Sunday morning, Mr. Pierce remained in a stupor most of the time, it being almost impossible to arouse him, and there was no apparent suffering. Death came peacefully, and those about the bedside could hardly realize that dissolution bad taken place. Jas. Pierce was born at Tyrole, Steuben county, N.

and would have been 67 years of age next June. He was married to Jane Allen at Alleghany, N. July 26th, 1849, and they came to Plover with their little family in the fall of 1855. There they had resided ever since, Mr. Pierce being engaged in the merchandise business for a number of years, and for some time thereafter he owned and managed a meat market.

For several years he had devoted whatever time he desired to looking after a farm which he owned, located near the village, and had practically retired from active business and work. He was a man of decided views and strong personality, and in politics he was a staunch Dcmociat. An honest citizen, good friend, true husband and kind father has passed away. He leaves a wife, two sons, M. F.

and J. W. Pierce, and one sister, Mrs. Martha Roberts, wlio had made her home at his residence for some years. The funeral took place from the family residence at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Rev.

Ira Eldredge offlciatr ing, and interment was in Plover cemetery. The pall bearers were Frank Tyler, Cass Beach, H. G. Ingersoll, IT. II.

Moore, G. L. Wilmot andE. G. Van Camp.

COMMITTEE. After an illness extending over five months, Mrs. Chas. Dael expired at her home, 1509 Clark street, at ten minutes past five o'clock, last Monday morning. Her death had been daily expected by the family and immediate friends for several weeks, and it consequently was not so much of 'a surprise to those who knew of her 111-, ness.

Death was caused by consumption. The deceased lady, whose maiden name was Rosa Clute, was born in Belgium, and was 73 years of age on the 20th of June. In 1869, Mr. Dael, who was then a widower, with four children, visited his native country, for the purpose, as he says of finding a wife. He had not been there but a few days before he met Miss Clute and an agreement was soon formed that they should share one another's joys and sorrows thereafter.

The matter of procuri ng a marriage license promised some delay, and after remaining there two weeks, it was mutually agreed that the couple should sail for this country to have the marriage consummated. The ceremony took place at Applcton, March 12th, 1869, a brother of the groom, Rev. Father Dael, officiating. They then came to this county, residing in the town of Sharon for some time, but fora number of years have lircd in the city. The deceased had always been a stout, robust woman previous to her late illness.

Besides her she leaves four step-children, Mrs. Jos. Doyle, of Waukcsha Mrs. Nick Merchant, of Rhinelander; Mrs. Frank Sulka, of Stockton, and August Dael, of Sharon.

Her other relatives, if any are living, reside in the old country. The funeral took place from St. Stephen's church at half-past nine o'clock this morning, Rev. W. J.

Rice officiating. The pallbearers were Chas. Van Hecke, Patrick Leonard, Eugene Tack, Alois Gross, Jos. E. Leonard and C.

E. Van Hecke. Mr. Dael expects to make his future home with his daughter, Mrs. Doyle, at Waukesha.

His wife and little child live at New London. AT THE Satisfaction! IN THE conditions of the past week have been remarkably favorable for farm work, but unfavorable for the growth of vegetation. A few light showers occurred in the northern portion of the state, which are of great benefit to that section. In the central and southern portions there has practically been no rain this spring, the effects of the drouth are being felt. All correspondents report upon the great need of rain to start vegetation which is nearly at a standstill.

Clay soil has become very hard, and marshes which ordinarily at this season are uttsafe to venture upon are now bard and dry. Streams were never so low at this season. Wells are failing in many portions. Grass is making slow growth and pastures are generally too short for feed, so that very little stock has been turned out to grass. Generally speaking the condition of stock is very good.

Clover is mostly winter- killed and much of the land is being plowed for corn. Winter wheat is also to a considerable extent winter- killed, and the land has been sown to other crops. Reports as to the extent of the damage are conflicting, though a majority of the correspondents consider the crop a failure. Early potatoes are generally planted, and the late varieties will soon be in. Corn land Is being prepared and planting will commence i the coming week.

Gardens are everywhere being made, and some vegetables are now up. Fruit is coming out in good shape. Price you cat? you AT. SHARP Wall Paper and Paint Store, ISl AVENUE. fOH DO YOU LIKE That is white That are light? Out of sight Just right OF COURSE YOU DO, Bennett has them.
