SAD ACCIDENT.
Frank Moyer, an Employee of the
Indiana Novelty Mfg. Co., Meets
With a Painful Injury While
at Work, and Dies Short
ly Afterwards.
On Tuesday evening Trank Moyer,
while at work at the Indiana Novelty
Manufacturing Company's factory had
two lingers of his right hand cut off by
a circular saw. He was taken to Dr.
Wilson's ollice where his hand was
dressed, Dr. Jackson assisting.
During the operation and dressing of
the injured hand, Moyer showed signs
of weakness, and everything that
medical skill could suggest was re
sorted to to relieve him. Hut it was dis
covered that acute congestion of the
lungs had set in, this probably being
superinduced by the fact, that Moyer
after being injured had walked to the
Doctor's ollice through the cold night's
air with only an overcoat thrown around
his shoulders, and had, as we under
stand, been subject to lung trouble for
some years. Everything possible was
done for him but in about three hours
he died.
The remains were taken to Uunnel's
store and his friends and relatives noti
fied. The deceased lived near Donal
son, was 20 years of age, and had a wife
and two children. He had only been
working at the Novelty works a few
hours when the accident occured.
It was in every way a sad accident
and one under ordinary circumstances
would not have been attended by any
great danger. In the prime of man
hood and just entering upon the duties
of a new situation, commencing work
on the eve of a new year, it seems doub
ly sad that the angel of death should
claim such a one as he, and leave be
hind the mother and two small children
to mourn the loss of a husband and
father.
The remains were taken to Donal
son for interment and as the casket was
taken from the undertaker's store and
shipped on its last journey, the small
crowd which accompanied it, and who
had known the deceased, must have re
alized the full truth of the fact that "in
the midst of life we are in death."
Relief to Nebraska.
The call last week issued to the citi
zens of Plymouth and vicinity for help
to relieve the want and distress in Ne
braska, gave gratifying results yester
day as the last box of sweet charity,
packed by the loving hands of tender
hearted wives and daughters of Indiana
who, with that generosity that so be
comingly adorns their every action, re
sponded to the appeal for succor, was
prepared for shipment.
As the last article was placed in the
car, it displayed the interior filled to
the roof with the substances brought
in from all parts of the county. It
would be superfluous to thank the don
ors, as each individual's heart has re
ceived that offering by the deeds of
charity.

Expounders of the Gospel as Citizens.
We never could see any sense in the j
doctrine that because a man has adopted j
the profession of preaching he should
drop his citizenship and his interest and
active labors in politics. The state and
municipality does not relieve him from
taxation, or from the penalties f r
transgression of the laws or any of the
duties of citizenship imposed upon any
other person. The hope for the perma
nancy of our institutions rests in the
justice and foundation on the eternal
principles of right. The church is the
most potent power in all the land for
the inculcation of not only morality and
righteousness, but of a true liberty lov
ing spirit and right political principles
and action. Every man's religious du
ties should be identical with his political
duties. A preacher is entitled to the
privilege, and no citizen is more urgently
and strongly bound, from his peculiar
calling to teach, that men should be gov
erned in their voting by the precepts of
that gospel all Christian preachers ex
pound, as that they should be so in their
business or in their daily intercourse
with their neighbors. Such proper
preaching is consistent and practical,
because it has a tendency to infuse mor
ality into every branch of life and action.
To impress upon men their moral re
sponsibility in patriotism and civil life
as well as in religion is not a duty which
any faithful preacher has any right to
evade, or put in practice only on Thanks
giving days. It is notorious though that
the majority of the pulpits in this land
are deplorably silent on everything
which savors of politics or even of na
tional or municipal morality. Once in
a while a preacher is found who is ready
to denounce political immorality and to
thunder out maledictions against the
corrupt practices of politicians in gen
era!, Hut the preachers of this kind are
so Tire and the denunciations so general,
that the shot are so scattered that they
do not even scare the enemy. Neither
do they teach directly what is right po
litically. It seems to be the rule with
the average preacher to avoid all ap
pearance of any political exhortations
These diffusions go all around the world.
and their preaching on men's political
duties are all in the abstract. It is the
duty of the honest preacher to some
times preach politics. Preach it as did
Isaiah and Jeremiah, and there will be
purer politics and purer religion.
Farewell Sermon.
Iiev. Lattimore preached his farewell
sermon at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday morning to a large and appreci
ative audience. His sermon was com
posed mostly of a review of the past
year, covering not only religious, but
moral advancement. He dwelt to a
large extent upon the deaths of promi
nent individuals, not only in America,
but the old world, with a short review
of their past life, and the benefits the
world at large derived from their efforts
during life.
The effort of the reverand gentleman
was very pronounced, and was filled
with plenty of food for thought. A
sermon of deep and earnest study, and
an able, and logical discourse. At the
close of the services he announced the
vacancy of the pulpit, also giving a de
tail account of the work done during his
pastorate here, nearly seven years.
Ilev. Latimore will be missed by those
who have met Sabbath aftc Sabbath to
hear him expound the Scripture, and it
is to be hoped his new home will be as
pleasantly surrounded as the one lie
leaves behind.
Small Troubles.
Most of us can endure the great disap
pointments which fall to our lot in life
with a certain degree of fortitude and
complacency because we are apt to re
ceive the sympathy of the world, or of
our sincere friends at least. Then there
is something in the knowledge that we
do not suffer for naught, that there are
others who have passed, or are passing
through liko troubles and disappoint
ments. A large misfortune of any kind
rather exalts the victim, and gives him
a sort of prominence which is to a de
gree consoling. Hut it is the little foxes
which destroy the vines. The little har
rassing, nagging, every day disappoint
ments arc the wearing ones, and they
receive no sympathy from any one. Who
has any words of consolation for the
merchant who by some blunder has lost
a good trade he had set his mind upon?
Who cares for the editor who has of
fended a good patron he has spoken
many kind words about, by some unin
tentional blunder in his last issue? Who
does anything but hugh at us when our
hopes of a tine time at an excursion are
all blasted by an inopportune storm, or
when our last photograph makes us look
ten years older and a great deal uglier
than ourselves? Who cares when we!
get the mitten from the girl on whom
for weeks we have doted and dreamed,
or when all our election bets have been
lost ? These are the woes and the cares
which wear out one's soul, which de
stroy his peace and make him grow old
with fretting, became theie are some of
them mixed in with our everv dav life.
llitenipered remarks. When a man un
tier like circumstances would us? more
Hible words wrong end first than can be
counted.
A Piano at a Nominal Price.
Chicago's largest music house, Lyon
S: Healy, has moved into a magnificent
new building. They have a number of
slightly used and second-hand pianos
returned from World's Pair renting, etc.
etc., which they have determined to sac
rifice rather than to try to make room
for. These instruments comprise
square pianos at 810, 80Ö, sk), 100 and
125. Upright pianos at 8125, 8110,
8150, 8105. 81'.0, 82(H), 8225, 8210 and
upward. Grand pianos at 820, $250
8300 and upward. Nearly all originally
sold for from two to four times their
present price. Almost all prominent
makes (in square and uprights) are rep
resented, including among numerous
others Chickering, Knabe, 8teinway,
Weber, Decker, Steck, Fisher, etc. This
is an opportunity that will not occur
again, as Lyon & Ilealy have not moved
for twenty years. Immediate attention
is therefore necessary. A good plan
would be to order a piano, leaving the
selection to Lyon & Ilealy. However
they will send a list and full particulars
upon application. Any piano not prov
ing satisfactory may be returned at
their expense. Address at their new
salesrooms, corner Wabash Avenue and
Adams Street, Chicago. Distance is no
obstacle in taking advantage of this re
markable chance to obtain a piano, for
in proportion to the saving to be made
the freight charges are insignificant. If
you do not already know them by repu
tation any banker will assure you of
Lyon & llealy's entire responsibility
and record of over a third of a century
for honorable dealing. Write today so
as to avoid disappointment.
Hold On.
Don't let go. If you have a slight
hold, take a firmer one, and if you tire
hold on until you are rested. Never let
go. If you are in the right, stand up to
it even if you have to stand alone, and
make it a very lively racket if any one
attempts to put you down or put you
aside. Grit is always winner. It has
chosen for its motto ''Never say die."
If things don't come to pass, bring them
to pass; if things march too slowly,
tighten your grip and make them tread
faster. If they are in a good humor?
you wear a frown; if they lrown, then
you laugh. There is no such thing as
defeat for a persistent spirit, which has
the right as an inspiration. You will
often find that the moment of despair is
apt to be the dawn of day- Hut don't
repine; don't complain; don't ask favors;
but push; persist, move on; straight
forward, and you will soon stand on a
sure and firm footing. Hold On!
A New Industry.
Plymouth is to have a foundry. Isaac
Anderson will move his plant here from
Uourbon, and has associated with him
John Langdon a former resident of
Plymouth. The foundry will be located
west of the Pennsylvania tracks, the
first load of lumber for the building be
ing hauled their yesterday.
Although this business will be com
menced on a moderate scale, its loca
tion here is a good thing for this city,
and we hope to see this new enterprise
grow to large proportions and good success.
The Charity Ball.
The charity ball at the Opera House
on New Year's Eve was well attended,
some thirty-live couples being present.
Hansens Orchestra furnished the music
w hich was well selected and finely ren
dered. W. W. Hill served a sumptuous sup
per, to which nearly all the dancers sat
down. This charity ball will long be
remembered as one of the most pleasant
events of the year.
Female Piety.
Some of we lords of creation are not
apt to justly appreciate the troubles and
trials of our wives, who are left at home
all day to look after the household
affairs and duties. It is tho little vexa
tions of every day life, which produce
the wear and tear of the system and
nerves. The busy house wife hears the
door bell ring. She washes the dough
from her hands, pulls down her sleeves,
removes an old calico apron, takes a
hasty look in the mirror, and goes to
the door to lind a patent medicine
dodger on the tloor. Yet nine out of ten
of these patient women go through such
experiences day after day and make no
