Mrs. Mary Slater, of Oakfield, died
on Saturday night, February 27, 1897,
aged seventy-nine years, two months
and twenty-three days. Mrs. Slater
was born in Ross county, Ohio, on
December 4, 1818, and was married to
James Slater, who survives her, on
October 20, 1836. Her disoase was
caused by lagrippeand complications.
There have been eleven children
born to Mr. and Mrs. Slater of whom
nine survive the mother. Five are
living in this State, one in Kansas,
one in Missouri, one in Dakota and
one in Oklahoma.
Mr. and Mrs. Slater came to Cedar
county, Iowa, in 1844 before Iowa had
assumed Statehood. They remained
there until 1881 when they moved to
Guthrie county where they remained
twelve years, thence coming to Oak
field, the present home. The wedded
life of this couple has been over sixty
two years, long beyond that allotted
to most mortals, yet however long,
death enters and the family ties are
broken. Two, only, of the children
were present. Mrs. Danner and Wm.
Slater. A short service was held at
the home on Monday, March 1st. The
service was necessarily brief, as Mr.
Slater is daugerously ill, also the two
children. Mr. Slater is over eighty
six years of age, and the grippe and
heart failure is enteebling his system.
On the evening following the fuueral
Mrs. David Zeither—eldest daughter
and husband, from Ida Grove, arrived
and are now with the father and his
ohildren. B.
MR. EDITOR. In last week's Jour
nal appeared a short obituary notice
of Mr. Young, of Brayton, and know
ing the friends desired a more extend
ed statement I send the following:
Asa Brown Young was born on
December 22, 1844, near Joliet, Will
county, Illinois, and was married to
Miss Julia Ann Liusberger, of Will
county, Illinois, on January 18, 1866.
He died at Brayton, Iowa, on Febru
ary 24, 1897, of la grippe and com
plications. To them were born four
children, three now living, who were
present wli6R he died: Isaac L. Young
and Mrs. Etta Brewer, of South
Omaha, and Elmer H. Young, of
Brayton.
The greater part of Mr. Young's
married life was spent at Oxford,
Johnson county, Iowa. The last oi
and one-half years he lived at Brayton
where he bought grain for Counsel
man & Company.
This brief sketch closes the life of a
good and true man, one whom the
world was made better by his living
in it. No man ever made more friends
in so short a time than did Mr. Young
and his estimable family duriug their
residence in Brayton. The whole
community mourn his loss. He was
a kind friend to children, and they
loved him dearly as was well attested
by their sorrow at the funeral. The
respect and confidence he had among
men was clearly shown when his
political party placed him in nomi
nation for office and though his party
was in the minority, yet he received
more votes than any man running for
the same office.
The fuueral services were held at
the Baptist church, in Brayton, on
Friday, February 26, 1897, conducted
by Mr. Nels Sorensen, assisted by W
H. Brinkerhoff. The remains were
taken to Joliet, Illinois, for inter
ment where he was buried oil Sunday
her acquaintance, esteemed and loved
her. She was also a thoroughly Chris
tian woman. Her Christianity was
ot that kind which showed itself in
all her dealings and conversations,
without ever being intrusive or ob
jectionable. Her last ailment confined
her to her bed for over five months,
and during this time her sufferings
were often times intense. But not
once did she murmur or complain.
But with kindness and peace she re
signed herself to the will of the
Master.
Her funeral was held from Saii
Boniface church, at Exira, last Tues
day noon in the presence of a large
number of sorrowing friends. After
the solemn and touching office of the
dead, the pastor, Rev. A. Zaiser,
spoke feelingly from the text: "I
have fought a good fight, I have
finished my race, I have kept the
faith. As for the rest, there is laid
up for me a crown of justice, which
the Lord, the just judge, will give to
me."—II Tim. 4-7, 8.
Her remains were interred at the
Catholic cemetery, in Exira.
We wish to express our warmest
thanks to the many kind friends who
aided us with words of sympathv
during the illness and death of our
dear sister and mother.

Last Sunday morning as another
beautiful Sabbath day was being ush
ered in Mrs. L. J. Hilton, who has
been so ill at the home of her sister,
Mrs. I. H. Jenkins, in Brayton, died
and the death angel bore her spirit to
the great beyond to dwell with the
saintly dead. The good lady has beei
a great sufferer for many months yel
with rare fortitude she awaited the
summons to come home. She was
ever a kind and indulgent mother and
though strongly attached to herchild
ren yet she expressed a perfect resig
nation to the Master's will and pa
tiently awaited the end, and at five
o'clock she sank into a dreamless sleep
and the relatives gathered about her
couch saw no change except that she
gradually lost hold of life and drifted
off into the great unknown. Through
our long acquaintance with this lady
extending over more than twenty
years, we never knew anyone who
had such a beautiful and kindly dis
position as did Mrs. Hilton.
Mrs. L. J. Milton was born in
Liiurick, Ireland, in the year 1842.
When six years old she, with her
parents, came to America, settling in
Massachusetts. After three years
they moved to Daue county, Wiscon
sin, where she lived until her marriage
to L. J. Hilton. Mr. and Mrs. Hilton
went to Colorado where they lived
for several years, then moving to
Exira, Iowa. They lived here about
two years, returning to Colorado
where she remained until April last
when she, with her youngest daught
er, came to the home of her sister,
Mrs. I. H. Jeukins, in Brayton. Mrs.
Hilton was the mother of five child
ren, four of whom are living, the
other is buried in the cemetery at
Exira.
Mrs. Hilton was a noble woman.
None kuew her but to love her,"
can truly be said of her, for everyone
that had the good fortune of forming

THE TABLES TURNED.
How Captain Palmer Was Finally Be
vended on General Butler.
Captain Johu Falmor tolls the fol
lowing good story of the late Gen
eral Benjamin F. Butler:
"I served in the Louisiana cam
paign. Ben Butler's headquarters
were in New Orleans. Ono day I
was told that I had been detailed to
go to New Orleans, some 90 miles
away, and present a report to But
ler. I was a very young man then,
and to be thus detailed I considered
a tremendous honor. After long de
liberation I concluded that I would
be expected to make a speech in de
livering the report. I worked over
that speech until it was a master,
piece.
"Of course I bad an idea that if I
could make an impression upon the
general it would be a good thing for
me. Finally the day of my depar
ture came, and I started for the city.
On the way I rehearsed my speech.
I had it letter perfect and felt satis
fied that nothing but stage fright
could knock it out of my head. When
I reached New Orleans, I lost no
time in finding headquarters and
getting into the presence of General
Butler.
"After I had saluted him I stepped
back, threw out my chest and start
ed in on the speech. Before I had
spoken a dozen words Butler looked
up from bis desk. I saw that I was
making an impression. A dozen
words more, and the general began
to move uneasily in his chair. There
could be no doubt of the fact that I
had caught his fancy. Visions of
promotion began to float before me
as I warmed up with the speech.
Suddenly old Ben thumped the desk
Bavagely with bis fist and roared:
'Young man, if you have any
thing more to say to mo, say it
quick.'
"If he had hit me in the head with
an ax, he could not have knocked
me out more completely. The
thought that instead of oreating a
favorable impression I had incurred
the displeasure of the general mode
my head reel. All of my hard work
had been in vain. I dropped the re,
port on the desk, saluted and walked
away. My homo in Albany was far
ther away that night than it had
ever been since I marched with my
regiment into Louisiana.
"Many years after the close oi
the war I waB elected commander
in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic. I was in Washington ar
ranging the details of the great pa
rade of Union veterans. I had a
room in the Ebbitt House. All day
long I had been receiving delega
tions. Evening was at hand, when
the door oponed, and in walked Gen
eral Butler. Striding to the middle
of the floor, he struck an attitude
and began a vehement speech in
which he intended to prove to me
the right of the Massachusetts vet
erans to the right of line. I listened
to him for probably two minutes,
and then, smashing the desk as hard
as I could with my fist, I yelled:
'General, if you have anything
more to say to me, say it quick.'
"The old warrior fairly gasped
his astonishment. His ponderous
jaw fell. Seizing the back of a chair
to steady himself, he asked in a voice
which showed how keenly I had
hurt him:
'Captain Palmer, do you mean
that?'
'General Butler, did you mean
it when you said the same thing to
moat New Orleans?' I asked.
'What do you mean?'
"I told him. Butler walked up
and down the room while I
was tell
ing the story. When I had finished,
he came over and put his hand on
my shoulder.
'Palmer, I had forgotten all
about it. So you are the young fel
low who wanted to fire a speech at
me? Well, you have had your re
venge.1
"And then he sat down, and, hug
ging his right knee in his clasped
hands, he fought over with me the
whole Louisiana campaign. The
Massachusetts veterans had the
right of line in the parade."—New

the tastily decorated hall where
hearty congratulations were offered
and the happy couple became the re
cipients of many presents both orna
mental and useful. At 6ix o'clock the

to a class of nurses, by which one oan
easily determine it a solid food is one
which is proper to give a sick person, is
to drop a small piece of it in cold wa
ter. If it soaks up the water rapidly,
thefood is moderately digestible.—New

Elder Wm. Tennison
OF BUFKIN, IND.,
Tells of the Qreat Benefits Derived From
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
HEART
DISEASE of long Standing is
not easily cured, but it is CURABUB.
EldorWm. Tennison writes: "I was
afflicted for thirty-five years with heart dis
ease, in fact, troubled with it nearly all my
life I think it heredl*
tary as my father was
afflicted with it. I have
suffered great distress,
my heart palpitated to
such an extent as to
shake my whole body.
I So distressing was it I
could only with great-
estdifflculty compose myself to sleep. About
two years ago I began taking Dr. Miles*
Heart Cure. The first bottle gave me no
perceptible benefit, but after taking the
third I began to feel much relief and I con
tinued for some months. I have good rea
son to believe the euro Is permanent.

"At one time," said Mr. Bugleton,
"Ihad a sort of inclination for arctio
exploration. I thought I would like
to join some expedition setting out
to reach the north pole. There was
a fascination about this work that
was attractive, but it seemed to me
that before starting I ought, in some
degree at least, to inure myself to
cold. I thought that perhaps the
easiest way in which I could accom
plish this would be by braking on
a freight train one or two winters.
I tried this, but with a somewhat
curious result. It led to my giving
up the north pole idea entirely, for
I found that in thiB way I could get
right here in a single winter all
the arctic experience I wanted,"—
