DURING the high wind on Tuesday morning a spark from the chimney caught on the roof of Bacon's Warehouie which, had it not been discovered in time, might have caused a serious conflagra­ tion. As it was it was extinguished with a few pails of water. Everyone should be particularly careful these windy limes..

ONCE in life, at least, every man should be a candidate for town, city or county office. It would be a benefit to him. When a man is a candidate his heart becomes filled with the milk of human kindness, which makes him a friend to every man. He becomes so deeply interesled in your welfare, in the health of your family, and ih the progress your new twin babies are making in cutting teeth, that you volun­ tarily wish every man a candidate and that elections were held every time the moon fulls. If every body were a candi­ date, what a happy world we would have. • . rv**!"" A HANDSOME PRESENT. F " The Uaiversalist Sunday School was the recipient of a very handsome present last week from the hands of our esteemed townsman, John Ralston, in the shape of aSunday School map of Palestine and the Holy Land. It is 8x10 feet hand­ somely hung on spring rollers, and not only useful for the Sunday School but ornamental as well. That this handsome present wa* fully appreciated is evidenced by the vote of thanks tendered him by the church and Sunday School on Sun­ day last. It was a generous act and is deserving of the praise it received.

The deceased was a native of York­ shire, England, and. was born Sept. 10th, 1823. In company with his brother Thomas, he came to this country in 1850 and the next year was attracted toward California by promise of a fortune in the gold fields of that Eldorado. In this un­ dertaking he was fairly successful and the adventures and experiences of the venture furnished the material for many anecdotes and stories which he took de­ light in recounting. He returned to Ringwood Prairie in 1854 and bought the farm on which he lived till within a very late period. In 1854 he married Maryette Madole and three children were born to them. Mary AJjipe died in in­ fancy. Dr. Allison and George survive him. In October 1860Tie lost his wife and on April 12,1863 he married Kath- erine Roe. This union was productive of six births, five daughters and one son. Etta died at 16 years of age and Nellie in infancy. Gladys, Lizzie, Stella and Lewis survive. W m. Lumley was a man widely known and respected. He was a good husband and father and his pride in his children was something pleasant to see. He had been a hard worker up to the time of leaving the farm, but since that time he had taken life easy. He having been a good farmer knew when he had a good tenant and it was remarked by many that they never had a word of difference with him. He had accumulated a handsome property and his final dispo­ sition of it was most just. His health had been his fortune, and until quite re­ cently he had not known the need of a physician. During the winter he had been attacked by LaGrippe, from which he recovered slowly. About three weeks before he died he was found to be suffer­ ing from some supposed trouble of the stomach and was unable to retain food or to receive much good of it if tempo­ rarily retained. He wasted rapidly, and though patient seemed to realize that this was to be his summons to depart. He arranged his business as a prudent man and sought his Savior as a wise one. He retained consciousness till the end came and was fully aware of its final approach. A post mortem'revealed the fact that a tumorous growth had com­ pletely closed the second stomach, and that no earthly skill could have saved his life, as the operation necessary to re­ move the cause would have proved fatal to even a younger. man. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Wm. Nickie and the remains were followed to their last resting place by a large circle of friends and acquaintances who sympa­ thized with the mourning relatives. This, earth another body claims for tote, While God, the (river, claims the qalekeainc sonl; This is man's record, marked on every scroll, And shall, while oeaaelessages down through endless time shall roll.
