The funeral service were held at his late home Sunday morning, Rev. Toll officiating. Interment in the family lot at the cemetery near Fort Hill. DIED --At the home of her parents, in this village, on Sunday evening last, March 7th, 1897, Miss LENA BUSS, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Benj. Buss, aged about 18 years.

E Lamphere, whose ages on Wednesday usual, Isaac had an old-fashioned Clam "Bake, Oysters in abundance, Sweet Cider, direct from New York, and in short all the good things a hungry man could think or dream of. The third of March is a red letter day in the Wentworth family, and their many friends here wish they might live a hundred years to en­ joy their birthday gatherings. OBII'UASY.I; DIED,--At the home of her father, Near Volo, on Thursday morning, Feb. 26, 1897, Miss NELLIE McCABE,aged 28 years and 7 months. Sad indeed is the home from whicfe this young lady has been called away, and es­ pecially so as she had battled so bravely against the current, that she must have realized was bearing her slowly but sure­ ly away, away from earthly friends and all that life holds dear to youth. But she was as surely sustained on her jour­ ney by the consolation of the fervent christian, and gradually, as the darkness of earth settled upon her, the light of the Eternal shone round about her, and she died resigned to depart, full in the ̂ faith of a joyous meeting with friends who preceded her to the Father's home. The funeral was held at the Catholic church, McHenry, Rev. Father Meehan officiating, and interment was made in the cemetery in the church yard. Bcr resting place made a bed of flowers by loving companions and sympathizing friends of the grieving ones who yet re­ main to travel death's journey like her alone. So young, so fair, so fond of life, It seems so hard to give Those gems of love unto the Lord, Who ordained they should live. Why such are called while others wait, No mortal tongue can tell; We humbly bow beneath the rod-- God doeth all things well. And shall we doubt that He who notes E'en when the sparrows fall, Has yet some nobler tfork for those Who hvar his early call. IfifThe special train carrying Gov. Tanner and his staff to Washington had a narrow escape from being wrecked a short distance east of Bellaire, Ohio. A track walker discovered a pile of boulders which had slid from the mountains onto the track, and not haying a lantern, he built a fire with brush and sticks, and succeeded in stopping the train after much effort in signaling with his hands. There is a high wall of rock on one side of the track and on the other a deep gorge of about 100 feet. The result can be imagined had the train been thrown from the rails at that point. GST The President conservatively reit­ erates the doctrine of the fathers with reference to the foreign policy of the United States. Within the compass of the President's utterance Secretary Sher­ man can honorably make our flag re­ spected in every corner of the globe. It will be the prayer of all good citizens that, though this administration shall be slow to anger, it shall have the nerve to put a warship in the remotest port that harbors an American citizen depriv­ ed of liberty and the right of a fair trial. Such a foreign policy is the only policy respected. Prospects are now the bright­ est that at last we are to see it enforced. --Inter Ocean. This country can never again be­ come prosperous until the products of the farm bring higher prices in the markets. The price of grain, hogs, cat­ tle and milk can never increase until there is a less quantity produced or a greater consumption brought about. To secure less quantity there must be raised in this country something besides wheat, oats, corn and hogs. There must be varied industries so that, one clnsp can derive support from another. In­ stead of sending annually abroad $90,- 000,000 for sugar, we should have some of our rich agricultural lands that are producing too much wheat, oats and corn, raising sugar beets from which to manufacture at home our own sugar. In a word, everything that can be pro­ duced at home, whether on farm or in factory, should be added to the product of American labor, thus giving us a home market for our farm products that will afford farmers the best market in the world. Our implement manufactur­ ers may need some protection, but they are not the "whole thing." When the new tariff schedule is made up, our agri­ cultural interests must be carefully con­ sidered, or all other effort will be in vain. There can be no prosperity for this country with corn selling at fifteen ceuts a bushel, no matter whether under Democratic or Republican rule.--True Republican. "Button's Cows." The following from the Hebron Tribune should be strained before taking: "Elmer Button has a cow that is a world beater. He took some milk from two of his best cows to the Farm­ ers' Institute, at Genoa, last week and had it tested. The result was marvelous. One tested eight pounds <5f butter fat to the hundred and the othertested ten and a halt and Elmer had skimmed the milk, for coffee that morning too. He has to be very careful while milking these cows as the butter collects in granules on the pails in such quantities that it is im­ possible to strain the milk. The best one gives such rich milk that she isgradually growing blind, which occasions Elmer a great deal of worry. The other one is all ritrht with a brilliant future before her. Thev are both -lerdpys of the McKibben strain." N U N D A . wo runaways in town last week. Goodwin was on t&e sick list last week bat is out again.

It is a very simple device that is placed over th^j griddle hole of any cooking stove, and is supplied by oil by reservoir, same as •i gasoline stove The oil passes through a coil .underneath the griddle or device and gas is generated which makes an in­ tense heat.
