Wyan­ dotte, on the opposite side of the Wsmari river, was also terribly dam aged, as were the villages of Randolph *nd^Aroutine, suburbs of Kansas City, and portions of the farming regions in that vicinity.

Of course not! Although the Democratic party has declared for Iree trade at every National Convention fcince 1800, It Is now willing to aoandon that doc­ trine for the pursuit of office.

There was a lively little runaway one day last week. The team started from Stewart's drug store and took a zig-zag course until they got to Abbott's store. A one horse rig was standing hitched there and the runaways cleared it with abound, their wagon colliding witli the o:ie hor«e rig, detaching it from thejiorse and smashing it ail to pieces. The horses were caught about half a mile west of town, uninjured. >>trawberries are in town, and a short cake tour stories high can be had at. 'Mrs* E. J. Goodrich's restaurant.

Wo are informed that this association and tlie Womans Sufi rage Association have joined hands and in­ tend to go it "whole hog or none," that is. both pull through, or neither. And we further see by a report that the ladies were gfad that they had met in convention, lor they felt that tlu-y had removed the barrier that had stood In the way of men voting for their pro­ posed reform. Oh. ladies1 dear girls! don't hug tills delusion too fruiilly. Bye and bye It will recoil upon you, and. oh! the venom of its sting! The funeral services of Henry 1*. Smitli occurred last Wednesday at 10:16 a. m. It was the largest and most im­ posing funeral we ever saw in Marengo. The floral ottering* were costly and profuse, Henry wis an exemplary young man In every respect. For several years he had been a partner in the "Bee Hive" store, and gained many friends bv his honest, upright dealing. Of late he had been subject to attacks of Hemorrhage of the lungs, and two or three weeks before his decease he went to Carthiige. to try achangeof climate. His health tailing fast, his parents were sent for, and upon their arrival they found hiiti very low. Tliey remained there a couple of weeks and feeling sure that he could not live long, were very desirous of getting him home that he might spend his last hours with the family and home scenes. Henry, too. wished to be at home; so accordingly they started, but as they neared Chica­ go symptoms of hemorrhage began to appear, and when they were within about two hours ri le fr »m Chicago Henry breathed his last--quietly, peacefully, without a struggle. How lonely tint home will be. Henry was an only son, and dearly loved. It seemed so hard for the dear friends to part with their loved dead, and they mourn :n him a dutiful son, ;v dtVG'teU brother, a kind, true friend. WOOD. EDITOR PLAIXDKAT.ER Since our la-t contribution the farmers have sown their small grain and a.*e now busy preparing to plant corn. The cheese factory Is fast approach* ing completion, and Is said to be as Hue a juildlng of the kind as the coun­ try affords. Mr. Hyde, of Dundee, who t!;; *• man who uuderstandb his business, and from his method of fair dealing. Is, we be­ lieve, in every sense a man. The ma­ son work was taken by Robert, Twist, of Dundee, and, as far as completed, the job is a good one. The cheese maker la Richard Mason, of Richmond, and conies highly recommended. H. C. Allen delivered the Hrst can of milk on the morning of May 1st. The amount taken in that nminiitg was about 1,200 pounds, which was consid­ erably Increased before the end of the week. The factor}' is under the man­ agement of Messrs. Oatman. and Is looked to with strong hopes of being a financial success. Farmers should call and examine those new wide tire wagens at JV Grlmolby's. Henry Rowley, of Nunda, spent the Sabbath In this vicinity. Miss Elida Buchanan, of T.odl, Wif,' was the guest of Mi*s Nellie Ladd over Sunday. Mr. J, I. Vasey has jjust organized a singing class in ihi*plaw,. The term will be extended fr**m thirteen t6! t'weniy lessons, and goad work Is ex­ pected. The class numbers about thirty afpreseut, but will probably be larger before the next session. Farmers who are In need of fence posts don't forget Geo. Stevens' adver­ tisement in this paper. Tlie posts are large and the price reasonable. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Smith were called to Hainesville to attend the funeral of their sister-in-law, Mrs. Edward Smith, of Mclleory. Mrs". Smith had been ill for some time, and was slaying in Chicago, hoping by the aid of skillful physicians to regain her hfaltli. but all aid and skill proved fruitlcs. She was buried in the cem­ etery at Avon Center. MosSey Buck I ami has gone to Ant loch to work in a cheese factory. M«»sley is a llrst-rate workman and that he may succeed is our hearty wish. Mr. F.

During the storm of the ninth, light­ ning struck a water tank on the farm of Richard Lawsou. We iearn that the Coggin mill was struck during a storm a-few days previous. A young man of this place was cut­ ting his corns on the Sabbath, but tlie razor slipped and lie cut his toe in^ stead. So beware, young man, for in such a moment, as you think not the shaver slippeth and of! goeth the long­ est member of the happy family of five.

The Commissioners recommend®d to him the appointment of one Keiin. * Pennsylvania "machine politician," for Chief Examiner under 4he new «Ivll-servlce law, and the President re­ fused to appoint him, in order--it is reasonable to believe--that the pro­ posed civil-service reform shall not be made a farce of. Now, the Commis­ sioners and tlie President have agreed upon Mr. Charles Lvman, the Chief Clerk pf the United States Treasury, for Chief Examiner, and he is a good inan for the place. Now let the new carriage move on, and let the Commis­ sioners who have been appointed to "smash the machine11 not again be guilty of inciting the "machine" to bm their official actions.--Journal. Marble foreign fish- f SST'There Is a small sized row In Washington about the Interior De­ partment. Senator Hill, of Colorado, assails in a vigorous, breezy, healthy manner Secretary Teller of the In­ terior. In his out-spoken utterances lie reminds one of a Sycamore public ipeeriug. He charges that the Secre­ tary has be«Mi connected with a num­ ber of land frauds in Colorado, and that he is acting generally, in tlie in­ terest of the great laud grant monop­ olies, against the good of the govern­ ment and the people. He charges liim VMth evading the law passed by Con­ gress. which forbid the Kufus Hatch syndicate from monopolizing the en­ tire park, and that he has practically given them that monopoly In spite of Congrew. There is a wholesome, hon­ est sound to Senator Hill's letter, and perhaps tho>ie acquainted with his As­ sistant Secretary Joslvn. may surmise that Teller is undergoing castigatlon = Ipr some of his oftences.

As tlie day for decorating the graves of the fallen heroes approaches, we think of tlie years that have elapsed sluer the great civil war began, and .of those %vho so gallantly gave up tli^ir lives in defense of our country. We think of tlie terrible days of battle, of tedious marches, and our brave boys languishing in loathsome southern prisons. Can we think aught of the defenders of our union but with admi­ ration? O, how impatiently we wait­ ed to hear news from the battlefield, and then anxiously scauue-d th& lists of those who fell, fearing to tind the name of a loved one among them! But those years of strife and bloodshed are past; north and south are at peace once more, we hope never again to be en­ gaged In such a struggle. Again we are united; slavery is abolished, and prosperity sinilea upon us as a nation. So let us do all we eau in reverence to those who died in defending our union. It leads us to say a word about pen sions. which may not '.ie out of place. Every day we hear person* saying that they do not think a soldier deserve* a pension, making au additional ex peuse to the government. But do you suppose they wonlil say it If they had been soldiers, and is not our .govern­ ment able to psij* them? Tho*e who talk the loudetit think the least. As for out-M'ive* we think that all honor­ able soldiers deserve >i peiifioii, and the day is not tar distant when tfeejr will receiye one. HEBRON.
