Hattie Edna, eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. S. M. Guthrie, of Hopkinton,
was born in Delaware county, Novem
ber 11,1808. She removed with her
parents to Linn county in 1884, where
she resided until 18'J1, when she was
unitedinmarriagetoE.lt. File, after
which she returned to Delaware county
living there until her death, which oc
curred on the morning of November
24,1D00. She united with the M. E.
church at Central City. Iowa, removing
by letter to tho Buck Creek church in
1892. She was a faithful member, ever
willing to do her duty, never shrinking
from any part allotted to her. She
strove to do her Master's work, seldom
being
from der charge as organ­
ist at her church, until physically un
able to attend. Hattie was a dutiful
wife, a tender mother, a loving daugh
ter and sister,and a faithful friend.
Georgia-Graham of Manchester,
who has been making weekly visits
here to teach instrumental music
turned over her
She will be sadly Jmlssed by all who for its surposes. Tbe general idea,
knew her, especially in th» parental now in the minds of tbose having the
home, for which her love never dlmin- convenience, beauty and historical val
ished. Her request was to come home
to die. She died with faith in her
Lord and before her death saw visions
of beautiful flowers. She leaves a hus
band, one little daughter, Augusta
Belle, aged four years, a kind father
and mother, and three sisters to mourn
public functions. This will come
when we become surfited with build
ing navies, big guns, enlarging armies,
and fortiHcatlons for the laudable pur
pose of killing our fellow men, and thus
showing to future generations our in
terpretation of an obsolete saying,
"Peace on earth, good will to men."
We now know more than the Prince of
Peace. He turned the other cheek, we
spit on our hands, roil up our sleeves,
vote a larger appropriation, send out
the Red Cross women and an ambu
lance corps, and then cover our hypoc
risy with remarks about the strenuous
life, and ease our consciences with the
reflection that if Jesus were here now
He would be leading an army division
and preparing an addenda to His Ser
mon on the Mount to square with mod
ern ideaB, with the purpose of having it
printed in the Congressional Record for
campaign purposes. However this is
another story and somewhat afield from
the beautieB of Washington. But
when I gaze upon the lovely Library
building, behold its eternal elegance
and drink in all that it means toward
education, art and culture and remem
ber how hard it was to obtain the pal
try six and a half millions of dollars with
which to build it, and think how eager
ly our great men will vote millions up
on millions with which to construct big
guns, floating arsenals and any thing
and every thing with which to kill and
maim and torture, I feel like turning
Jeremiah and weeping and lamenting
over the general "cussedness" of this
untoward generation. AB Brother
Amsden once remarked in prayer meet
ing, "now if any brother wishes to kill
anybody let him get up and say so," I
am going to proceed to write about
Washington.
ThiB is rather a labored introduction
to some facts about the Government
printing ofllce. .This building is an
old one, and there is nothing artistic
about it, but there is an nt, large
new building now in course of con
struction, which, when finished, will
have cost 82,000,000. The Government
does its own printing. The Congress
ional Record, that embodiment of all
the wise and other-wise sayings of our
congressmen, all the documents, re
ports, bills, books and blanks required
by the departments are printed here,
The number of employees are 3250 of
which 609 are in tb$ main composing
room: 783 in the bindery 208 in the
main press room 264 in the specifica
tion room and 582 in the folding room
the balance are in many other depart
ments. The office has 127 large presses
with an output of 1,000,000 impress
ions per day of eight hours. They use
750 tons of type. Here are some of the
yearly rations of this modern stationery
Frankinstein: paper 8000 tons glue 37
000 pounds bar lead 200,000 pounds
binders board 900,000 pounds printing
ink 40,000 pounds gold leaf 4000 packs:
besides thousands of pounds and gal
lons and yards of other necessary
things. The aggregate expenditures
of the office per year are about #4,000
000 nearly three-fourths of which is
paid to its employees for labor.
Few people have any idea of the
publications of the Government.
large portion of them are very valuable
in the matter which tney contain. Fre
quently when there is some Important
legislation before Congress, such as the
Nicaragua Canal or the Ship SubBidy,
or the Oleomargarine matter, or Armor
Plate, or Ship construction, or the
Philippine, or Porto Rico matters, the
documents published in re'erence to
them, for the aid of Congress, are re
plete with Interesting and useful infor
mation. These may be purchased at
times -from the Government, or in
some cases the members of Congress
have a few copies to distribute. Much
of this information could be gotten
from the Congressmen for the use of
the schools and now that the districts
are building up libraries for their
schools it would not be a bad idea to
obtain some of this literature for use!
It may not be bound as neatly and
showily as some of the works published
by the American School Book Com
pany, or other Companies which may
have a "pull," but the Information
would do our young people just as
much, if not more, good. 1 may in my
next give a description in generality of
some of the noted buildings which
grace this city.

Washington Letter.
One hundred years since this place
became the seat of a developing repub
lic. Then it was constituted of a few
houses, the native hills and daleB, the
swamps of the i'otomac, the forests
and wild game, and the very essence of
a great people in its magnificent pros
pects now it is one of two or three of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Its beauty is the result of position, nat
ural scenery, plaD, parks, statuary, pub
lic buildings, cleanliness, high average
of elegance in private residences and
the absence of the usual city slum ele
ment. There are no manufactories, in
the general sense, in the city and tbe
few which are here ought to be abated
as nuisances. Washington is not a
modern city it is a beautiful, almost
entrancing, large town. Its crown of
glory is its public buildings. As the
hills stood about old Jerusalem, giving
it dignity, so the buildings of this city
give it preeminence. The Capitol, tbe
gorgeous Library, the stately Post
Ofllce structure, the grecian Treasury
and Interior buildings, the magnificent
State, War and Navy edifice, the White
House, tbe Smithsonion Institute with
its Norman architecture, and the Cor
coran Art Gallery in its marble ele
gance, all declare the glory and beauty
of tbe Nation's Capital. There are
many other public buildings here which
will not be missed when they are gath
ered into the limbo of the forgotten
things, and more elaborated structures
have replaced them. Tbe White House
is an historical structure and one that
every patriotic citizen will ever desire
to bave retained. J3ut it is too small
ue of the city in view, is to enlarge the
present building by suitable additions,
not changing in the least tbe present
old structure, so as to make it a proper
Executive workshop and then erect a
large, grand, and noble Presidential
mansion, for tbe convenience of the
President and hli household and for

The large ana increasing circulation
of Tbe lows Homestead in this county
is a matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun
try, It is easily the best and most help
ful. Its Special Farmers' Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the Boil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers' Institute Editions,together
with Tbe Poultry Farmer ana The
Farmers' Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the moBt valuable farm publi
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with onr
own paper for $1.90 for the entire five
one year. This is emphatically a gooc
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For a large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equate it. A
county paper, a farm paper, a poultry
paper, a farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers' Institute, all for 91-90.
