OS K. A LOOS A - * * IOWA:
THK WAY WE WALKED.
I met a woman on life's way,
A woman fair to see,
Or caught up with her. I should say.
Or she caught up with me.
“The way is long when one's alone,’’
I said, “and dangerous, too;
I'll help you by each stumbling stone
If I may walh with you.’’
1 saw her hang her head and blush,
And I eould plainly see
The fire that caused the feverish flush.
I whispered: “Walk with me.
Thou art of all the very maid
A brave heart wants to woo.
And I'll remember long,” I said.
“The way I walk with you.”
Then on we went. Her laughiug eyes
And sunny smiles were sweet.
Above us blue and burnished skies.
And roses 'ncath our feet.
“I’m glad your sunny face I’ve seen,"
I said, “When life is through.
I'll own the best of it has been
The way I walked with you."
And on fte went. We watched the day
Into tbe darkness merge;
My fair companion paused to say,
“Here’s where our paths diverge.’’
I answered ; “Yes and one more mile
Is fading from our view.
And all the while lit by your smile
The way I’ve walked with yon.
“I do not say, my love, my life
Will all be given to grief
When you are gone; the ceaseless strife
Will'bring me much relief.
When death's cold hand the curtain draws,
When life's long journey’s through.
’Twill not have all been bad. because
1 came part way with you.”
—Cy Warman in New York Sun.
FOR THE NATIONAL FLOWER.
THE CLOVBB.
Some sing of tbe lily, and daisy, and rose,
And tbe pansies and pinks that the sum
mer-time throws
In tbe green, grassy lap of tbe medder that
lays
Blinkin’ up at the skies through the sun
shiny days.
But what is the lily, and all of the rest
Of the flowers, to a man with a heart in his
breast
That was dipped brimmin' full with the
honey and dew
Of the sweet clover blossoms bis babyhood
knew?
I never set eves on a elover Held now,
Er fool ’round a stable, er climb in a mow,
But inv childhood comes back jest as clear
and as plain
As the smell of the clover I'm sniffin' again ;
And I wander a way in a bare-footed dream,
Whar I tangle my toes in the blossoms that
gleam
With the dew of the dawn of the morning
of love
Ere it wept o'er the graves that I'm weep
in' above.
And so I love clover; it seems like a part
Of the sacrcdest sorrows and joys of my
heart;
And wharever it blossoms, O, there let me
bow
And thank the good God as I'm thankin'
him now!
And I pray to him still for the stren’th,
when I die.
To go out in the clover and tell it good-by,
And lovin'ly nestle my face in its bloom
While iny soul slips away on a breath of
perfume.
—James Whitcomb Riley.
—Secretary Carlisle did not buy any
July silver, and probably will not. He
has that right under the law.
—We are out on the ocean sailing,
but whether we are homeward bound
or just drifting remains to be seen in
August, when the Congressional crew
takes hold of the oars.
—There never was a currency issued
by any authority, save national, but
that was more or less a great fraud and
theft on the people—and was so intend
ed to be. Head the history of the state
bank swindles of the past.
—The worse comment on southern
prison management is found in the fact
ttiat the United States will permit no
persons convicted and sent to penal
servitude to be confined in any prison
in the south. That tells one chapter of
the story of civilization.
—James B. Weaver has thought more
on the financial question than all the
Democratic leaders of lowa put into
one heap. Attend one of these state
conventions and in the popping of corks
hear them spout about the finances in a
Dahomey like way!
—Thefailures for the first Bix months
of the present year number 45,401, as
against 5,503 during the same period in
1892, Bhuwing an increase of 898. The
total liabilities of ail the failures which
occurred in the first six months of 1893,
are #168,000,000, while for the same
period in 1892, they were #62,000,000,
showing an increase of #106,000,000.
—Like the sniff of air from snow
clad nffluntalns comes the Chariton
Democrat, strong in lusty Democracy
of the sort that even a Republican can
not help but respect and pity!—pity be
cause its tlavor will be lost on the gang
for whom it is blowing so bree/.ily and
so sensibly!
Senator Allison expresses the op
inion that the actiou of India em
phasizes the necessity for an inter
national agreement, and that the United
States alone can not maintain free coin
age. He thiuks it is clear, in view of
this new phase, that this government
should cease purchasing silver; that the
Brussells conference should be recon
vened, and that we should have a com
prehensive policy of our own in case it
shall appear impossible for the leading
nations to reach a common agreement
on the subject.
—The western silver mines are all
closing down, and within one month 90
per cent will be idle- the drop in the
market price of silver being the cause.
The owners cannot afford to pay $3 per
day for mine labor, and produce silver
at tW cents for the line ounce, so they
close down, and let labor drift. It is
either that or bankruptcy for the own
ers and they prefer to escape that. It
will cause very hard times in the west
ern camps, but what can be done to
avoid it ? When corn proves to be a
great, overwhelming crop, the price de
clines, and the farmer can lake that
price or let it alone, and the silver pro
ducer is simply a “cropper” in another
direction, and he can do as the farmer
is compelled to—take the price of the
market, or let it alone. And legislation
will not any more put real value into
silver permanently thau it will into
com. It is an unfortunate condition of
things tliat confronts the western mine
owner—but the same condition has fre
queutly'con fronted the western grain
Eower, and he has bravely home the
ttle between supply and demand.
The bullion owners must do the same.

CHARLES W. DAYTON.
hatch o t the Newly-Made Postmaster of
Charles Willoughby Dayton was born
In New York city on October 8, 1846,
and was educated In the New York
public schools. His grandfather was
born in Stratford, Conn., and came to
the city of New York to engage in
Commercial enterprises. Mr. Dayton’s
father, Abraham Child Dayton, was
educated in Europe, aud was a man of
literary tastes aud a contributor to the
periodicals of the day.
Mr. Dayton studied law, and after
graduation from Columbia college law
school in 1808 was admitted to prac
tice at the bar. He has an office at
No. 8 Broad street, and has for over
twenty years lived in Harlem. Mr.
Dayton has been active in politics for
fifteen years, and during most of that
time has taken an active part as an
anti-Tammany democrat. He was
IOWA:
prominent in the campaign of 1880 and
1884, when William R. (trace was suc
cessful in his contests for mayor, and
has been regarded as one of the cx
mayor's most ardent friends. He was
a member of the legislature of 1881,
and was a candidate for United States
district attorney when Cleveland be
came president in 1885. He did not re
ceive the appointment, but when Mayor
Grace constituted his excise board a
year later Mr. Dayton was selected
for counsel to the board and held this
office for three years. He was con
spicuous in all the battles of the county
democracy, and when the People’s
Municipal league was organized in 1890
he was one of the inner circles of
trusted advisers. He supported Francis
M. Scott and the fusion city ticket that
year and made many speeches against
Tammany hall. In 1891, with many
other county democrats of the Twenty
third district, to which he belonged,
he joined the wigwam. In the Feb
ruary "snap convention” held at Al
bany to declare the choice of the New
York democracy.for president and to
elect delegates to the national demo
cratic convention, Mr. Dayton repre
sented the Twentj’-third assembly
district as a Tammany man. When
the big committees were formed Mr.
Dayton was placed at the head of the
committee on permanent organization.
He lifted up his voice with the rest of
the snappers for Hill's nomination for
president.
His first official appointment under
Tammany hall was made last year,
when Mayor Grant selected him as a
member of the Park avenue commis
sion for supervising the building of the
railroad viaduct.
The Moat Versatile of Any Crowned
Woman of Kurope.
The golden rose of virtue conferred
by the pope will this year go to Marie
Henriette, queen of the Belgians. The
fact that the lady has had to wait so
many years for this consecrated token
should not be regarded as in any way
a reflection upon her worthiness to
wear it. It is only that there are so
many ladies of rank in Europe to
whom the golden rose of virtue be
longs by right, that the queen of the
Belgians has been forced to wait. The
queen of the Belgians is, perhaps, the
most versatile in her talents of any
crowned woman of Europe. She is an
adept at the piano, violin, harp and a
number of minor musical instruments;
is a horsewoman of the greatest skill
and daring, and, strangely enough, in
legerdemain she has a facility unsur-

POINTS ABOUT YACHTS.
The Prinoe of Wales’ Britannia
Not a Suooees.
Although Built at Great Expense and
With Remarkable Caro tho Valkyrie
Beat Her Easily The
Yachts Compared.
It rather looks as if the prince of
Wales’ yacht will not do. Dunraven’s
Valkyrie is certainly her superior, and
the Valkyrie is not allowed by the
critics to have any too good an Ameri
ca's cup chance.
The Britannia’s appearance under
canvas was rather imposing, her bold
fore body suggesting considerable
power, while her long after end gave
quite a graceful appearance to the hulL
She floats to submerge about four feet
of her counter, which fact accounts for
the supposition that she was the
shorter load water-line boat. Both her
main boom and her load line arc
eighteen inches to two feet in excess
of the Valkyrie, and the Fairlie de
signed boat will come in between them,
but on account of her smaller sail plan
will rate lower down a bit and have
an allowance.
A Scottish critic 6ays of the new
yachts: “The Valkyrie without doubt
is the most out and out thoroughbred
racing craft of the new Scotch crea
tions. I cannot say that I fancy it for
appearance as much as I do the Cal
luna, but, taking it all in all, it is the
vessel of the three which strikes one
of that combination of power, speed
and rakishness which suggests the suc
cessful racing cutter. It has a flnely
drawn-out forebody, terminating in an
overhang which looks like a cross be
tween the Calluna and the Britannia.
It has a lower side than the latter, and
especially abaft the mast its freeboard
gets beautifully less and terminates in
a counter where there will be no more
weight carried than is necessary for
getting an after overhaul sufficient for
immersion. It is not sawed off, of
course, but the counter is near the
water and is a nice study, a sort of
V-shaped stern.
“Fair on, and looking at the Valkyrie
from aft, she is at once recognizable as
the narrowest and deepest of the three
boats. She is more in accord with her
PRINCE OF WALEB’ CUTTER BRITANNIA.
own type of boat than the other two,
and in consequence, to the eye, seems
more in touch with what we have hith
erto recognized as the proper sort of
thing. Popular public opinion, how
ever, still favors the Fairlie boat.
“I must, however, state that in the
Valkyrie America has a good boat, a
clever skipper and a strong combina
tion to meet. It was thought on this
side that the Valkyrie would hold back
in the initial races, but both Capt.
Cranfield and those in authority have
assured me that their desire is to try
hard edge right off with the other boats
on the Thames, and this accounts for
his towing all the way to the south.
“Like the Britannia, the Valkyrie
has her head 6ails set in the ordinary
Scotch fashion, without any American
ism in the way of standing sharp so far
as the jib is concerned. The forestay
of both vessels leads down to about the
bitts, and a good deal of boat protrudes
it. Unlike the Britannia, the Val
kyrie, on account of her smaller beam,
has channels, which supply the neces
sary spread for the shrouds, and these
latter are of the skeleton order. The
main shrouds are the same in both
boats.”
The Thirteen Saperstltton.
It is said this strange superstition
extends away back to the time of King
Arthur. When the good British king
founded the famous Round Table he
requested Merlin, the enchanter, to ar
range the seats. Merlin arranged one
set of seats to represent the apostles;
twelve were for the faithful adherents
of Jesus Christ and the thirteenth for
the traitor Judas. The first were
never occupied save by the knights dis
tinguished for their achievements,
and when a death occurred among
them the scat remained vacant until a
knight surpassing him in heroic and
warlike attainments should be consid
ered worthy to fill the place. If an
unworthy knight sought the vacant
chair he was repelled by some magic
power. The thirteenth seat was never
occupied but once. The story goes that
a haughty aud insolent Saracen knight
sat down upon it and was immediately
swallowed up by the earth. Ever af
ter it was known as the “perilous
seat," and, brave as the celebrated
knights of the Round Table are said
to have been, not one ever had the
courage to sit on the thirteenth chair,
and the superstition against it still
survives.
A Kentucky Girl’s Idenl.
Here is a Kentucky girl’s picture of the
Ideal man who would make a good hus
band: “If I wished to marry—which of
course I do not—l would desire a man
too noble to commit a mean act, but
generous enough to forgive one. A
man as gentle as a woman, as man
ly as a man; one who does not talk
scandal nor tell disagreeable truths;
a man whose name I would be proud
to bear, to whom I would carry my
doubts and perplexities, and with whom
I would find sympathy and joy.”
Missionaries Killed In Chinn.
San Francisco, July 4.—A dispatch
frt>m Hong Kong reports another fanat
ical outbreak against missionaries in
China. The dispatch says a mob of na
tives attacked two Swedish mission
aries named Wickholm and Johannsen
at Macheng, 60 miles from Hankow,
and killed them. No further details
are given, but the murders are sup
posed to have been due to the anti
foreign placards that have heretofore
caused much trouble for the foreign
missionaries residing in China.

her husband, Alexander Carey, and
dying almost instantly—being followed
by the self-destruction of Carey at once.
The particulars aud causes of the crime
are as follows:
THE SHOOTING.
The shooting took place at 11:45 Sun
day forenoon, at their cottage home in
Carbonado. The neighbors were alarm
ed by the rapid discharge of three re
volver shots, and by Mrs. Carey rush
ing out of the house and dropping to
the earth. She was followed by Carey,
who shot himself, and fell on the south
side of the house. Mrs. Carey was hit
three times: one through the right
hand, as if she had raised it in defense
against the leaden hail; one through
the body above the hips, and the third
through the left breast near the nipple
into the heart. Carey lired two shots
into his body, involving the heart also
—and when the neighbors got on the
ground his clothes were burning from
the pistol lire.
THE CRIME
was one of great deliberation and prep
aration. This was discovered on search
ing the body of Carey, where several
letters were found setting forth his
reasons for the act, murder and suicide.
One letter was to Superintendent Kam
say, one to I)r. Parry, one to J.C.Smith,
and one to the “citizens of Carbonado,”
They had been written J une 28, and
gave directions in a general way as to
what should be done “after the ball"
had done in deadly work.
THE CAUSE.
Coroner liacon was early summoned,
aud with Sheriff Timbrel, as officer,and
Messrs. F. D. Boyer, G. B. McFall, and
Janies Atchison as jurors, an examina
tion was made of two or three witness
es, and the letters read, which clearly
made it a case of murder and suicide,
and the verdict so said. The cause of
the trouble that led to this horrible
affair seemed to be about some money.
Mrs. Carey was the widow of Samuel
Gore, and married Carey about twelve
years ago. Mrs. Carey had two sons,
John and Sam, and she kept boraders.
The boys were hard workers and in old
Excelsior days they made much. It
seems that Carey became the head of
the house, and took charge of the sav
ings—and on them, it is said, he travel
led a good deal. There was some prop
erty sold at Astoria, Ills., the avails of
which, #7OO, came to Mrs. Carey, it be
ing her own. Carey his all along de
manded that he should wholly control
it, and as a compromise it was deposit
ed in the Oskaloosa National Bank,but
subject only to joint action as to with
drawal, and not subject to check. This
has been the cause of much trouble,
and Carey left home about it, and went
over to Mystic and worked awhile.
Mrs. Carey continued in the cottage,
kept boaiders, aud worked industrious
ly all the time. The letters spoke of
jealousy against one of the boarders,
and seemed to be imbued with that idea
to a bitter extent. All the neighbors
give Mrs. Carey a character for all that
was womanly and in the highest degree
Mattering- and deny the slanders of her
murderer as utterly untrue. “The
money” is mentioned several times,and
his failure to control the same, with a
choice disposition to find fault, suspic
ion, and demean—led to tin m iking up
of the mind that the killing of the wom
an would alone satisfy, and that he
would end it by sending his soul into
perdition to do it. And so it was that
Mary Carey was murdered by the hand
of the man who should only ever have
raised it in protection.
In the search there were found'collat
erals for #Boo—the #IOO being in a draft
from a Mystic bank.
Mrs. Carey's son Samuel, married,
living at Pekay, was summoned and
took charge of affairs, aided by that
hearty comradeship that marks the men
and the women, and who, on Monday,
gave sepulchre to the dead of this sad
dest of domestic tragedies that clouded
and destroyed homes in this section.
A Card.
There is probably more than one
hundred thousand dollars on deposit in
the banks in Mahaska county, drawing
little or no interest. From experience
in negotiating loans, 1 am satisfied that
this money can all be loaned on excel
lent real estate security, at seven per
cent, semi-annual interest, free of ex
pense to the lender. If, therefore, the
leader of this card desires either to lend
or borrow, on tne terms stated, you are
cordially Invited to take advantage of
the Loan Exchange, established in con
nection with McMUleu’s Law Office. I
carefully examine the abstracts of title
and attach my opinion as an attorney,
that the title is clear; and take every
precaution essential to a conservative
business. In no case will I negotiate a
loan, unless I personally examine the
security, and believe that It is ample.
I also can negotiate eastern money at
six per cent interest, where three thou
sand dollars or more aae desired.

The deceased was married about one

rhage, at his residence on South A street,

Mr. Harbach was one of the old residents
and business men here. He had been in
ill health for some, and recently in giving
personal attention to improvements on his
property in the business quarter he worked
too hard. That caused a weak blood ves
sel to rupture, and death followed. Mr.

a man universally held in high esteem for
his integrity in all business and personal
relations. He leaves a wife and daughter,
for whom will be felt the sympathy of all

est cemetery. Mr. Parkhurst was born
Oct. 24, 1832, at Plattsburg. N. Y., remov
ing to lowa in 1854, and to Oskaloosa in
1867, which city has been his home prac
tically ever since. About three years ago
the family removed to their farm near
Jacksonville,Mo. ,as a temporary residence,
but their home feeling was centered here,
and here they ultimately anticipated a re
turn. Mr. Parkhurst leaves a wife and
son, Elmer, who has been in business with
him in Jacksonville, and to them and his
brothers and sisters and other relatives the
sympathy of all will go.
HOFFMAN—CROSBY.— Married, in
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 28, 1893, Db. R.
C. Hoffman, of Oskaloosa. and Miss Maud
Crosby, of Salt Lake.
Thus one by one they surrender, Dr. Rip
Hoffman having for many years entertained
his bachelor freedom and successfully re
sisted the blandishments of the other sex.
The newly wedded couple left Salt Lake
immediately after the nuptials, and will
tarry for brief visits at Denver and Omaha,
arriving here about July 4th or sth. The
groom needs no words in this community,
where he has passed his life. In his bride
he has chosen a highly educated lady, who
will be a pleasant accession to social cir
cles here, and who will find her home cast
among congenial people. The Herald
joins the Doctor's friends in cordial felici
tations.
CARY —HENLEV. —Married, at the res
idence of the bride's father. H. Henley,
southeast of the city, Wednesday evening,
June 28, 1898, at 9 o’clock, Ralph C. Cary,
of Medicine Bow, Wyoming, and Miss Car
rie J. Henley, Rev. I. P. Teter officiating.
This was one of the most novel weddings,
taking place on the lawn in the moonlight,
and the scene being one of the most beau
tiful. The Cary orchestra, of Clinton, rel
atives of the groom, consisting of Mr. J.
L. Cary and wife, three sons and Miss
Howard were present, and stationed at
some distance from the house. At the ap
pointed hour to the soft strains of the wed
ding march the bridal pair marched down
the green aisle of lawn to the nuptial sta
tion, and by the moon's shimmering rays
the ever new words were said pronouncing
them husband and wife. An elegant wed
ding repast was served to about seventy
five guests, and the occasion made one of
unique interest and attractiveness. Hand
some wedding gifts evidenced the affection
in which the young couple was held. The
bride is the daughter of Mr. H. Henley, and
an esteemed and popular young lady. The
bridegroom is the operator and ticket
agent of the Union Pacific railway at Med
icine Bow, Wyoming, and was formerly in
railway service at Muchakinock, where his
sterling qualities commended him gener
ally. To their new western home will be
borne the hearty congratulations of their
friends, in which The Herald cordially
joins.
WALLING—KNIGHT.—Married, at the
residence of the bride’s parents. Mr and
Mrs. I. N. Knight, in Garfield township,
Mahaska county, Wednesday evening. June
28, 1893, at 8 o'clock, Charles S. Walling,
of this citv, and Miss Mary Knight, Rev.
D. A. Wickizer officiating.
This union is one of unusual interest to
The Herald family, of which both bride
and groom have long been an esteemed
part, and amidst whose labors the affection
that has culminated thus happily took its
start and ripened. The bride is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Knight, and is a
girl of womanly and practical worth, fitted
to do her part in the duties of life as they
shall come to her. She learned the print
er’s trade iu this office and served thereat
four years in faithful industry, fulfilling
every test of character and requirement
most worthily. The bridegroom is a grad
uate of the Oskaloosa High school,class ’BS,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walling,and,
like a wise young man, ou graduating took
up life with a good trade at his back, be
coming an adept in the art preservative in
this office, where he still remains as a
trusted and efficient member of its job de
partment force. He is one of the most
genial and capable of young men, a friend
maker everywhere, and one of sterling in
tegrity and faithful manhood. He is also
a member of the famous K. of P. Band and
of the Frit* Orchestra, and popular in both.
For the new household thus formed The
Herald would invoke content and happi
ness in the best proportions, and a pros
perity that shall embrace the good things
of life liberally, and to the end. After a
brief visit at the parental home they will
return to this city, where sensibly they are
erecting a comfortable cottage,and in which
they will be at home, at 707 North B street,
after July 24.

HARRIS.—Died, of paralysis, at bis
home in this city, at 4 o’clock r. u„ July 2,
1898, D. W. Harris, aged 72 years. Funeral
at 1 o’clock p. m., July 8, and Interment in
Forest cemetery.
YATES.—Died, of nervous prostration,
at his home, 307 First avenue east, at 5:55
o'clock p. if., June 80, 1893, Elias Yatks,
aged 63 years. Funeral at 2:30 P. M., Sun
day, July 2, with interment in Forest cem
etery.
BILLICK.—Died, of consumption, at his
home two miles north of Oskaloosa, June
15, 1893, James L. Billick, aged SI years,
5 months and 4 (lays.
James was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jef
ferson Billick, for twenty five years well
known in Mahaska county. James was
born in Green county, Pa., emigrated with
his family to Io k a and settled on a farm.
Seven years ago he married Mary Garner,
of the same county and state. To this un
ion two children were born, but only one,
Victoria, is now living. The writer,accom
panied by his wife, called to see James a
few days before his death. His cheerful
and hopeful utterances in reference to his
approaching end filled our hearts with hope,
reassuring us that “earth has no sorrows
that Heaven cannot heal.”
“They sin who tell us love can die,
With life all other passions fly;
But it's a flame that ever burneth,
From heaven it came,to heaven returneth.”
The funeral occurred on Sunday, from
the family residence, and was largely at
tended. All the brothers and sisters were
present. Though the occasion was solemn
yet to see that excellent family in the pres
ence of the dead son, brother and father,
who before death had expressed hopes of
seeing them all in that world where sorrow
and sighing shall flee away and tears shall
be wiped from all eyes and death swal
lowed up in victory. Yes, the love of the
“unchangeable Father, and the promises
recorded that in the ages to come accord
ing to the riches of His grace, He would
gather together in one all things under
Christ; for it pleased the Father that in
Christ should all fulness dwell. And hav
ing made peace through the blood of the
cross, by Him to reconcile all things to
himself; by Him, I say, whether they be
things on earth, or things in heaven.” The
services were conducted by the writer. An
appropriate song by the choir of the neigh
borhood, reading of the Scriptures and
prayer; then some general remarks on the
resurrection and th« future state of man,as
found in the 22d chapter of Matthew. The
subject matter of the discourse was iu show
ing how little that was understood. The
Sadducees had become disgusted with the
Pharisees and their unreasonable assump
tions touching the resurrection of our mor
tal bodies. The Sadducees asked the ques
tion, saying: “Master. Moses said: If a
man die, having no children, his brother
shall marry his wife and raise up issue, or
children to his brother. Now there were
with us seven brethren, and one died, lea /-
ing no children ; another married her, and
likewise the wholekeven,all of whom died,
and last of all the woman died. Now, there
fore, whose wife shall she be in the resur
rection, for seven had her to wife? Jesus
answered and said unto them: Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures nor the power
of God. In the resurrection they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, but are
as the angels.” Christ charges them with
ignorance. “You err, not knowing the
scriptures,” i. e. the meaning of the scrip
tures. They seemed to have no knowledge
of the dead or the two natures of man, the
body first, then the spirit separating at
death. Mother earth claims our earthly
bodies and our Father in heaven claims our
spirits and raises them to Himself. The
last account we have of the spirits of our
common humanity they are in the hands of
God. God is love, and love thinks no evil.
In the language of the learned Dr. Dwight,
Ist Corinthians, 15: “The subject of this
chapter is the future existence of man.
The word commonly rendered resurrection
usually denotes our existence beyond the
grave.” The services over, a large pro
cession formed and moved awav to Forest
cemetery. The day was beautiful. Prayer
was offered for the living, mingled with
hope for the dead, and a re-union in that
“land that is fairer than day.”

Will Compete. —Dr. C. 11. Hare
of this city and J. W. Canty of Carlx n
ado went to Ottumwa Monday night to
meet with the ether members of the
committee on arrangements of the
lowa World’s Fair Male Party. A
chorus of sixty voices, representing
Wapello, Monroe and Mahaska coun
ties will compete at the National Eis
teddfod, to be )bdW in Chicago in Sep
tember, and they we ,pow in training.
They will rnqet £QQfI in Chi
cago, three parties from Wales being
entered for competition, but they are
going in to win a piece of that prize
money. It will necessitate an outlay
of about iifteen dollars to give the party
the required training, and they have
decided upon a series of four concerts,
to be given in Oskaloosa, Ottumwa,
Albia and Eddy ville. The programs
will be made up of four selections by
the party, 60 voices. Two of the cho
ruses will l»e the competitive pieces, the
other numbers being of unusual excel
lence. These concerts should be very
liberally patronized. By the generosity
of the coal companies and many indi
viduals about live hundred dollars of
the expense f und has been pledged, and
it should be no trouble to raise the bal
ance. W. B. Powell of Hiteman is the
leader, and he will be heard from later.
Malurla.
Malaria was formerly considered as a
miasm, limited to the exhalations en
gendered in low-lying lands. But mod
ern reseaches have shown that while
the miasm is more intense in such local
ities, yet it is by means confined to them,
and that as a fact but very few and
narrow sections of country are entirely
free from malaria—cities, vilages, towns
and country all have it in greater or
slighter degree. Murphey’s Specific

dumb ague, malaria, intermitting fever,
malarial fevers, effects of malaria, old
suppressed agues, ague cake, enlarged

agogue, arsenic or other drugs taken to
cure it. Specific No. Sixteen is the

To minister in comforting assurances
to parents living in fear of leaving their
children penniless and homeless.
To make it possible for many persons
without children of their own to adopt

child, that may be a blessing to the
household.
To protect society, by guaranteeing
proper home training and education to
the unfortunate little ones against its
two greatest enemies, ignorance and
vice, and thus to improve American
