SMALL-1UY. Death of Wm. HfCauibrldgf. Sr. -A leli gram from Denver, received ut ouo NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

WANTED. 3INESS GUIDE im or Im wwlrr (Hu for 15rU pursued medical studies while teach-and farming, and acquired a "piofesBii.nal ediicacion In the allopathic school. In which he prucli.ed for ten years In Knox county. Afiurwauls he changed his medic al views aud became a homeopath, and was granted an honorary dlplomu by Hahnemann medical college of hlcago. Soon after this, In the year l'vl, became to Bloomington.

Ho was the first man to succeed as a homeopathic pliysiciau in liloomlnuton and he may properly be called the Father of Homeopathy here. His practice berume so great that it wore him out As a practioner he was kind aud generous und wise. Ills first patient here wa! a man he found sick with fever.and he brought him to bis own house, put him lu his owu bed and nursed him til. he recovered. Love of justice ws a marked characteristic of the man.

He was an nncompromls. Ing, abolitionist and useful and trusted lluk In the "I ndergroiind Railway." In Fulton county It was no uncommon occurrence for the doctor, after a hard day work among bi patients, to take out his team at nightfall and go to a designated spot for a colored man, and drive with hitu all night to another station. Since he came to Bloomington he often sheltered runaway negroes iu his own house. Dr. Dutin'a daughters were both graduates of the Normal I'niversity, the Mrs.

Strickler, now living In Philadelphia, in the lirst class of Vat, and Mias Harriet K. Dunn, in '(14. Another daughter, Emily .1., died, aged seveuteen, and a son, Albert, Is living in Nebraska. The lirst Mrs Dunn having passed away, the doctor married again in to Mra. Ell.a A.

White, of Ihls city, who survives. The deceased had been falling for two years. For year he had surrendered his practice, and for the last three months required constant care. The only public olllce Dr. Dunn ever held was that of member of tbe school Bourd of Education, l- or H'aJ.

He distinguished himself at the time for a gallant light for I he admission of colored children to the public schools. This was years lu advance of the eniancipii'lon proclamation, and 11 did not meet public approbation at the time. About this same time Dr. Dunn and Dr. Worrell engaged in a spirited controversy through the columns of the Pantaoraph upon the merits and demerits of their respective schools of medielue.

Older citizens will re-member this well. It ended Anally in a good natured way by Dr. Dunn challenging Dr. Worrell to a test of which would survive longer upon his own medicines. The two physicians were warm personal friends, and Dr.

Worrell was one of those who called to see the remains before they were sealed from sight forever. TOW A XI) A. 7.I7.7..S.S7 i' FCXKriAl. OBSEQUIES. A Largs and Sympathetic Lathering to do llouor to the Memory of Late Dr.

McCann Duiin A Remarkable and Panful Life. The funeral of the late Dr. MiCatm Dunn at the Free Congregational churali yesterday afternoon, at half past two o'clock, was very largely attended. The auditorium was so densely packed that there was not a vacant sest. The Lodge of Musons, of which the de.

cessed was long an honored In body. Rev, J. R. Efflngcr, the pastor, conducted the services and delivered a short address. Prof.

Metculf, of the State Xoimul lul-varsity, pronounced the funeral oration; having been selected to perform that tender olllce by tbe deceased, with whom the speaker bsd been on terms of close Intimacy for a score of years. The text which Prof. Metcslf took for the basis of his remarks bad also been selected by the one who passed away. They were: ''lie not deceived; (iod ll not mocked; for what soever a man lowetb thut shall be also reap." Oalaliiins '1 he peculiar appropriateness of this text was felt by every one present. That part of Prof.

Metcalf'a remarks ol a personal uaturj are reproduced entire as follows: From the column! of the city press you have gleaned, and 1 need not repeat them, the leading Incidents hich brought Dr. McCann Dunn, by his own great energy and rare self-reliance, to a successful estubllah. tnent in bis profession. 1 attempt but a brief sketch of the character of this man my family physician for almost twenty years, and in; friend. His was a worthy ambition to administer relief In sulleriug and to restore to health.

He was accounted an unusually successful physician. He won tbe conlldeuce of bis patients. As oother bus we 1 said: "They be. lieved that whatever could be done for them he could do." He brought a cheerful countenance to the sick room. He whispered no untimely misgivings.

1 point to one testimony to bis downright honesty when 1 suy that successive visits to a patient were always made in tbe patient's interest never with thought to "run up a biDf' I point to bis deep interest In his kind, hen I tell you that wherever duty called him for successive visits, he aought to impress the truth that sickness is very largely the outcome of disobedience of law, that prevention is wiser, nobler than cure. Kindness to the Iwxir was a touching trait in bis character, know not in how many well-to do families past services of his ure still unrequited. Let ui in a generous estimate of men's justice trust It ia lu but few. But I do know that into the homes of the poor he went with his skill, his counsel and his cheer, asking no return. Seldom if ever refusing entertainment to new ideas, he honestly and patiently strove to prove all things, and hold fast the good.

He was a good example of the power of early teaching. In bis boyhood his parents showed their hatred of slavery by exchanging Its atmosphere for that of free State. And to bis dying day the feeling was not less deep in the son. A lover of justice, he spurned whatever tended to custe or to class distinctions. Tbe soul of sincerity, he was outspoken in approval of what be deemed the truth, however unpopular; equally frank In his condemnation of wiiat seemed to him error.

Not seldom, this characteristic must have given him, at least among strangers, the attitude of bluntuess. Obsequiousness was tbe very antipodes of his nature. His words, put forth by the earnestness of his feeling and conviction, carried weight and gained for him a courteous and considerate hearing. Of the society worshipping in this house, he was one of tbe founders a consistent sup. porter, too, with such strength and means as he could- command.

The men who ministered to this people in th early days Ames, Codding, Finluy, and others received hearty welcome in bis borne, and found him an appreciative listener on Sunday. I do not say, for I do not know it of any man, that our departed friend exemplified to the full St. James' definition of "pure and uoiletl led religion before (iod the Father." But most of us will be helped to noble living, If we consider well his kindness to the widow and tbe fatherless, and estimate aright the cost and true worth of bis self, reliance, honesty, bis sincerity, aud his sym. patby for the down trodden. His neighbors and bene liciuries count his a greatly useful life.

We may be sad that lie could not draw consolation from seeing that he had been the almoner of much good, while, his strength was equal to his day. This his nature forbade. He wanted to go on with his work; he loved it. How well, they best could testify who saw him struggling against bope when lirst the sting of fatal disease penetrated his soul. do not fear said, "nor do I fear that to which death may usher me.

Hut I long to work. I ought still to udd years to my eervice." And this thought he uttered to the last. It must be that the freed spirit is now permitted to discern that the good he did goes on, though the tiled brain rests, and the tongue that counseled is stiil. Aside from the conscious presence of the Heavenly Father's love, I know not what truer comfort could come to this bowed widow, to these bereaved children, to the stricken brothers, to the othersorrowing rcla-tivee, than is found in the wide and hearty recognition of these traits In the life of our earnest friend, that the poor sadly miss him, and that in no very slight degree. His qualities touch to finer issues the lives of many.

As tbe speaker proceeded, there was no little feeling manifested in tbe audience, showing that the grief and a sense of personal loss was deeply realized. The music was sweetly solemn, and a mournful interest attached to It, because the selections were such as the deceased had loved to bear. One, "Come I nto Me When Bbudows Darkly Gather," had long been a favorite; another, "Into the Silent Land," bad been sung twenty-four years before at the funeral of a former wife. The flowers were profuse and beautiful-all the unsolicited tokens of love and grnt, itude. Two only will be mentioned.

One was a large floral cross and anchor from pupils of the High School. The other was a lovely wreath, tbe of au old lady in bumble circumstances, who had for years received the professional care of Dr. Dunn, without money and without price. She said with sobs, as she brought it, "This is not half good enough for him, but it is the best I could do." The pall-bearers were Masons all old friends of the deceased being Messrs. Peter Kolsom.

Lyman Ferre, W. M. Hatch, Wm. Perry, B. Lucas, Dr.

II. Conkling, Adam Guthrie, and Judge A. J. Merriman. The latter was the first man in Bloomington to call upon the deceased to make a professional call twenty-nine years ago.

The procession to the tomb, despite the almost impassable state of the roads, was a large one. At the grave the Masons took charge of the body, and Mr. T. W. Stevenson read the beautiful burial service of the order Of the family present at the funeral service i were the widow, and two children, Mrs.

Sarah D. Strlckler, of Philadelphia, and o'clock this morning from Mr. William Me. Cambridge, managing editor of this miner. Hiinoiim ua the not unexpected death of his father, nt the advanced age of elghly uiue years.

The deceased was widely known in Normal and In this city, and enjoyed the respect and conlldeuce of all bis friends. He came here nearly thirty years ago, and afters short residence iu Bloomington, removea with his family to Normal, where he con- Untied to live till bis departure for Dcnyer, a year or moie ago. Tbe dispatch lust night says: "Father died to night. Funeral there Sat. urday," which we understand to mean that the remains will be brought to Bloomington for burial in time for Interment on Saturday.

In Friday morning's PaNTAoiuph we shall probably be uble tOBtate more positively. Bouth. The Peoria Journal of yesterday states that the great tragedian has been really booked to play in that city some evening during the present season ou guarantee of The date of tbe peiformaiice and the title of the play are not yet unnounced. If the famous player goes to Peoria, theru can be no reason why au engagement csnnot be made for him to visit this city. We hope there Is no mistike about bis appearing In Peoria, mid also bope he can be Induced to come here.

The street committee of Towunda board of trustees and the commissioners of Towanda and Money Creek townships viewed the road leading nm Hi of Tow anda, on last Saturday, and decided on tiling it this spring. This road has been impassable a good portion of this winter. Probable Action Foreshadowed.

The latest in regard to the Hoffman lec tures is that the scheme will probably be abandoned, but that those who have signi fied their willingness to take tlekats will contribute their money, and it will then be presented to Mr. Hoffman for his support until his conference trial occurs. Such a disposition of this matter would be pre eml nentlv satisfactory and proper. Iloll'mau, standing on tbe position that he is innocent, conld accept such a gift without doing violence to his feelings, he would have the same right to do this that a man with a broken leg would have to accept the assist ance of his friends, who would not stop to ouestion through whose fault the accident occurred. The donors would by their gift he committed to nothing except a cotnraeniUUIe willingness to assist a person in trouble and help him until it can be settled who Is to blame Tor that trouble.

it wouia not em-barrass or complicate Mr. Hoffman before his conference. The whole case would pass out of fin ic sight, and people would calmly await the result of the open cnurcu trial. The gentlemen who have the matter In charge deserve much credit for good sense In considering this line of action, and the Pan- taokai'h hopes and expects that It will be followed ouL Business Prospects. It is safe to say that In years the mer.

chnnts of Central Illinois have not had as cheering prospects as this spring. There Is not a man In all this section who Is necessarily idle. Never before have the farmers had so much money, or grain and stock that will bring larger prices For twelve or fifteen years mechanics have not commanded as good prices for their labor The rcauit must be that farm machinery, dry goods, groceries, and all the necessarics.as well as the luxuries, of life will be in great demand, and tbe people ill have the money to pay for what they buy. Discharged and Rearrested. Scott aud Ferguson, who were arrested in Peoria for having swindled Mr.

George Hyndman out of t'-l'i, were examined Tucs. day on the charge of being confidence men. This charge was not sustained, but they were immediately rearrested on the charge of lar. ceny. If not held on this charge, they will be brought to this city to answer to the eharge of playing the confidence game with Ptcsly Black, In sw indling him out of $Vi.

Sdch men ought to take a trip to Joliet, and there ought to be some charge which can send them there, Thousands of families have had occasion to try the never failing qualities of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrrtp, and they all unite iu the praise of this wonderful prescription.

AN UOXOKABLI CAREER. He whose body waa thus laid away to rest was no common man. His was a rugged, sturdy, manly life that made its Impression on IU fellows. He was born near Winchester, Ya April 7, 18-Jl. Three years later his parents removed to Ohio and subsequently to Fulton county, this State, to escape the blighting effects of human slavery.

McCann was the youngest of seven children. In Fulton countj, while yet a very young man, he engaged in school teaching.
