Again bas'death invaded the home of one of our citizens and took from it the prop and stay of the family. On Sunday last Mrs. 0. L. Chap man breathed her last at the family home on Miin street. Mrs. Chapman was born in Erie, Pa., in 1841, where her girlhood days were spent. About 1856 her parents moved to Wisconsin, in which state, at Kingston, she was married to C. L. Chapman on the 22d day of August, 18G2. After the war they moved to Rochester, Minn., and from there to Dakota in 1881, where they have resided ever since. Mrs. Chapman was a woman oi strong will power, force and exe cutive ability. During the wai while her husband was in the field, she bravely encouraged him in hit patriotic duty and kept up the bat tle for the good of the soldier at home, and was an active force in the community where shs lived in encouraging the patriotism of all the citizens. For yeaas she has held t firm faith in a crucified Redeemer, and died in the hope of a gloriout immortality. During the last three months she has suffered the most intense agony at times, but kept a brave front through it all for the lake of the loved ones at home. The earnest sympathy of our citizens goes out to the bereaved husband and children—the family circle has ocen broken never again to be re-united this side of the golden shore. It is a bitter bereave ment, the grief of which,.only time and the Cheat Healer can assuage. She was followed to the tomb on Tuesday by a large concourse of sorrowing friends who knew and loved her in life. Below we give a communication from the Grand Army boys as Britton: Britton, Dak., April 2,1588. We, the members of Gen. Hendricks Post, having heard of the death of Mrs. J. L. Chapman, wife of our comrade in the war, and member of Gen. Crocker Post,Webster, Dak., wish to extend to him and his family our deepest sympa thy in their sad bereavement. Another spirit called to its home. Guardian an gels have liorne the soul of a precious wife to its everlasting resting place. With sympathetic prayers we remain your comrades, Attest: Geo. Vanderveer, Com. M. Vincent, Adjut. At a special meeting of Gen. Crocker Post. No. 70, G. A. R., Webster, Dakota, on Tuesday aftenuxm, April 3d, the fo’. lowing preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas. It h.-.s pleased an allwise Creator to remove from our midst Mrs. U. L. Chapman, wife of the Commander of this post, leaving his hearthstone des olate, therefore. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with Comrade Chapman in the loss of a companion wiio, for twenty-five years, has shared his joys, his sorrows and troubles, bring ng blessings to his home and fireside, a helpmate indeed, faithful to all his fortunes—a tender, loving wife and mother. Rksolakd, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of General Crocker Post, a eopy fumish&d to each of the city papers, and one to Commander Chapman. J. C. Adams, ) E.

Adams, Adjut. —Zephyr, Shetland, Germantown and other yarns in endless profusion at the Farmers Bazar. —Hans Tallackson says he will see to it that the straw-burner busi ness gets there.

Church’s recent Arbor Day proclamation is like the heathen Chinee, ’-very peculiar.” Nearly a month between the time of holding the services in North and South Dakota. Of course this is because of the fact that the ground is too badly frozen in North Dakota to tlant trees on the regular Arbor >ay, but that the difference between the two sectons should bo so marked in this matter, as it is in all others is where the gazelle comes in.
