Rock Island, Ill On last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at Moline hospital occurred the death of Miss Harriet Frances Golden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas Golden of Rock Island. Harriet had been ailing for the past eleven months but had not been considered serious until a week ago last Saturday morning, when she was taken to the hospital prior to an operation, which proved unsuccessful and death relieved this beautiful young girl of her sufferings. Just a few years ago the family was left to mourn in the same manner, after one that had just reached the age of 18 years, and now another one follows at the same age. Harriet was a great favorite among both young and old people of the tricities. She was a member of the A. M. E. church and was also superintendent of the Sunday School at the time of her death. She was also great speaker and has won many high honors among both white and colored people for her fine declamations. The funeral sermon was held Monday afternoon from the A. M. E. church, Rev. S.

The common people fear above everything the hospital, says the Paris Ecolair. They are badly received and questions are put to them in a loud voice in the presence of patients, students and visitors. The modesty of women is not respected. The poor have the right to demand when they are under examination the observation of the elementary laws of modesty; they have also the right to demand of doctors professional secrecy. Salt-free Diet for Epileptics. The suppression of alimentary salt the diet of epileptics has a favorable effect on epileptic seizures, inasmuch as it reduces their frequency and their severity. It is of the same value in the treatment of epilepsy as the strict observance of dietician and hygienic rules. Both factors combined aid considerably in reducing and con- ducing the seizures.—N. Y. Medical Journal Why Be Pessimistic? Like an individual, a nation cannot expect to be healthy or happy which, so to speak, is forever feeling its own pulse and looking at its tongue in the glass.

A wise man in Dublin tells the London police how to deal with the riotous "suffragettes," who have been besieging the house of commons.

PROVE EVERY CLAIM Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a Specific For Anemia and a Safe Family Medicine. When the body becomes run dows either as a result of overwork, worry or a severe illness, an examination of the blood would show it to be weak and watery. This condition is called anemic, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Mr. Louis L. Clark, a painter, of 19 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., says "Last May I was obliged to undergo an operation for appendicitis and while the operation in itself was successful, I did not recover my strength and health. I was confined to my bed for over a month and was under the doctor's care. When I was able to perform my work I was unsteady that I could only walk with a cane with difficulty. "I was getting no better and could not think of going back to work. I was discouraged, when a neighbor told me that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured her and advised me to try them. I began taking them about the middle of June and soon felt so much better that I kept on and was cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured rheumatism, chlorosis, after effects of the grip and fevers, and, as the health of the nerves depends upon the purity of the blood, they are invaluable in neural surgery, debilitity, flossing, nausea and even locomotor ataxia and paralysis. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenected, N. Y. Iowa State Bystander The North American Review discourses upon the improvement in American manners, declaring that though the change is not marked, it is of the gradual character that makes for permanence. The Review says: "It is not true, as declared in the form of mottoes upon the walls of a famous boys' school in England, that 'manners make the man', but they help, and much as we may despise them as a mere outer garment and superficial soul-covering, we cannot ignore the fact that they are still vital conditions of social intercourse, and afford much of the charm without which existence would be unendurable. Beautiful manners are as captivating as a beautiful face or hand or form, and, unlike these, may be acquired. To be born and bred well is a great blessing, but it is not necessary to chide Fortune, as Shakespeare did, for not having provided better for his life Than public means which public manners breed Savvity and gentleness cost only a little self-restraint and a little thought now and then, and yet they not only occasion much pleasure to others, but save ourselves much of the tumult and uginess and embroilment of life. Lucky, indeed, is that deservedly popular woman, American born and English bred, who once said to us, 'I am always polite because it is so much trouble to be rude.' After all, we cannot be very much better than our manners, any more than our clothes can surpass our taste, but it may be that goodness can be developed in the inner consciousness by outer conditions. At any rate, we know one woman who smiles continuously because she firmly believes that, if she persistently wears the expression of harmony, the inner mood will respond. We are unable to perceive a very considerable change as yet, and we must admit frankly that we could not endure for long an unyielding smile; and yet we have no doubt that considerate manners would in time tend to the development of a suavity and gentleness of which some of us still stand somewhat in need." Revival In Mural Painting In our revival of mural painting we have had much to learn. The larger number of our painters were not otherwise equipped for the work than by the possession of technical ability to draw and paint the human figure on the scale of life or larger, and all the other manifold conditions of executing an acceptable decoration they were obliged to acquire. Small wonder is it, therefore, remarks Will H. Low in Scribner's Magazine, that in these few years the expressional quality of our painters' work should have suffered in their effort to meet these new technical conditions. Nor has the fault been entirely that of the painters, for all others concerned, the architects and building committees, have shown equal indifference, and in none of the public buildings thus far decorated has there been drawn up a definite scheme of themes to be treated, nor any allotment made of their various parts to different artists. In some cases the painters have organized themselves into a semblance of a committee, but if a definite project has ever been devised it has never been carried out to the avoidance of repetition of subject, within the building, or, as in one case, on the walls of the same room. Only Millionaires Wanted Unfortunately, under present conditions the highest appointments in our diplomatic service are of necessity almost restricted to millionaires, simply because men of moderate means cannot afford to accept them. It is a fact well known, says Rene Bache in Lippincott's, that John C. New refused the English mission a few years ago, on the ground that it would ruin him financially, accepting instead the place of consul general in London, which paid him $35,000 a year, with no incidental obligation to entertain expensively. To show honor to Alice Roosevelt Longworth and her husband a few months ago, Whitelaw Reid spent a sum equal to his salary for a twelfmonth ($17,500) on festivities covering two days. It was an exceptional case, of course, but even the ordinary social demands upon an ambassador make a frightful drain upon his purse. That New York woman who confessed that she lived partly on the sum of money allowed her by her husband and partly by borrowing from her friends was unique only in the respect that she was frank enough to admit the truth. It is cabled over that the Berlin newspapers actually bulleted the election returns and got out extras on the night of the election. Germany is gradually getting Americanized. Official recognition has been given to two sailor pipers at Portsmouth (Eng.) naval barracks. They are Scotsmen, and on enlisting they brought their pipes with them. They have now been fitted out in kilts of the Royal Stuart tartan, tunics of the orthodox Scotch cut, and Glengarry caps with cockades. As America imported some $42- 600,000 worth of diamonds last year, property seems to have reached the market stakes.

First In War, First In Peace and First In the Hearts of His Countrymen. First in War, First in Peace and First THE SPIR THE SPIRIT OF '76 BY W. J. M. KIT TRICK N our near approach to the anniversary of Washington's birthday it behooves us all to be very grateful to God and the revolutionary fathers for the nation which they gave to us. Away with the man who does not love his country. It has its faults. builders. Every time we cast a ball lot for an unclean office-seeker we are committing an outrage upon the future. Patriotism can never be selfish. I can never be bound up and rope round in its own pleasures and comforts. It can never stand still, lookin' backwards. It is no better than the best man who lives in it, and the best man who lives in it is separated by a long distance from the angels of heaven. The writings and orations that would put us beyond criticism explode against some very hard facts and let out upon the air a great deal of silliness. Our politics are not so absolutely pure that a searah's wing could graze them without contamination. Our ideals of greatness and glory are closer to the ground than they ought to be. Our reverence for the sacredness of law that should be as firmly fixed, in our national conscience as Pike's Peak is firmly fixed in the soil of Colorado, is not beyond the cavil and complaint of those who study the foundations of our institutions. But of one thing we are persuaded, and that is that the virtues of our country over-balance its faults. There are more angels than devils among us. The devils are making the most noise, but the angels are doing the most work. The man who believes that righteousness is losing its grip upon this nation is a woefully mistaken man. I heard a speaker the other day who proclaimed that we are falling from bad to worse and from worse to worst. We do not believe him. We believe that we are rising from good to better, and from better to best. One of the chief roots of our patriotism is gratitude, the realization of an immense debt to those who battled about the cradle of our national existence and won our freedom and independence at the points of their swords. Here we are because the men of '76 put us here. Here we stay because the spirit of '76 has kept us here. Stormy Atlantic, mild Pacific, sleeping lakes, waving forests, tree-crowded mountains, gold mine and silver mine, storms out of whose tempest-driven hearts have fluttered the white-feathered birds of peace, fiery baptisms through whose flames have crept forth the evangels, gave everlasting covenant. When we think of these things, when we stand upon the mount of vision, and the splendor of our country breaks upon our eyes, when the song of the reapers comes up to us, when we hear the hum of industry thrilling along the ground, when we see the gleaming rivers curving and winding like silver threads through vast gardens, what account of ourselves shall we give to ourselves if we take not the cup of praise and thanksgiving in our hands and pour it out to the heroes whose patience, faith and courage ushered in the dawn of our splendid prosperity? They were fighting for the future, for the country that was coming. So are we fighting for the future—for the country that is coming. As we look into the faces of our little children we cannot feel that for us the battle is ended. We have won a country for ourselves. But we must win a country for them. And love of country and love of children run together with the ambition to win a better country for them. Home and patriotism are linked together. The children will help to make the nation. But the nation will help to make the children. That little dimpled cheek will not allow you to take off your uniform for a single day. You must build his home. You must fight for his inheritance. You must put your life into the moving and marching forces of righteousness that are trying to win victories for him. The next generation will live in the country which this generation is making for it. And each one of us is helping to make it. All of us are nation. ```markdown ``` I We do not believe him RIT OF'76 BY W.J.M.KITTRICK builders. Every time we cast a ballot for an unclean office-seeker we are committing an outrage upon the future. Patriotism can never be selfish. It can never be bound up and roped round in its own pleasures and comforts. It can never stand still, looking backwards. It can never content itself with making a noise. In Washington's farewell address we see the prayers of a great soul embracing a nation's posterity. The pen that wrote the emancipation proclamation was tracing on the paper a heart's desire for a long procession of centuries. And out of this love of country and its guardianship of our children will come the patriotism of service. The Roman soldier cried out "it is beautiful to die for one's country." Our country does not want anybody to die for it now, but it does want all the multitudes of its people to live for it, to do their big best or their little best to serve its highest and noblest intents, and pass it along to the future cleansed, purified, sweet to the heart and sound to the core. Soldier and statesman, rarest unison; High-poised example of great dukes done Simply as breathing, a world's honors worn As life's indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by his awe in hollow-eyed content; Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; un- blamed Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad-minded, higher-souled, there is but one Who was all this, and ours, and all men's,-Washington. An Interesting Experience He Had When a Small Boy. As a small boy, George Washington was fond of following his father on his daily tour of inspection over his estate. In fact, so great an interest did the boy manifest in the tilling of the soil that his father determined the tendency should be fostered. With this object in view, Mr. Washington appeared bright and early one morning with a bag full of a mysterious something. George's curiosity was at once aroused, but his father insisted upon his accompanying him. Armed with trowels, they went merilly away. The mystery proved to be a bag of seed. Mra. Washington took his cane and began making letters in the soil, instructing George to sprinkle the seed along the lines marked out. When the work was completed, the pair returned home. Every morning George went to the place to see how things progressed. At last his patience was rewarded by seeing one little blade, then another, appear, until one day the boy, all excitement, ran in to his father, crying: "It spells me! The flowers have come up 'George Washington!'" Washington's Wealth. Whether Washington can be put into the envied category of millionaires no one can assert positively. According to the late Paul Leclercst Ford whose work, "The True George Washington," has received wide recognition, "the father of his country" was worth $530,000. This fortune did not include his wife's property, but nevertheless it made him one of the wealthiest Americans of his time. Her part of the Custis property equaled "15,500 acres of land, a good part of it adjoining the city of Wilkinsburg. WASHINGTON. The revelations regarding fraudulent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commissioner, have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked "Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so-called "White Leads" contain not anota of genuine White Lead. The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their contents. That would enable every painter to buy intelligently. Film Record for Last Year. Fire Record for Last Year The fact that when a servant becomes master a cruel foe is suddenly developed is attested by the dreadful havoc and loss of life occasioned by fire in the United States within the 12 months covered by a summing up of these losses for 1906. This record shows that nearly 7,000 lives were lost and more than $500,000,000 worth of property was destroyed by fire during that period. In no other country in the world is the fire loss, in bulk or pro rata, anywhere near our own. Last year, owing to the devastating fire that followed the earthquake in San Francisco, this loss was in great access of the average, but the average for some years past has been $200,300,000 a year. The "Thunderer." Judge Renton's reference on the bench to the Times as the "Thunderer" reminds us how remarkably this nickname has persisted. The Morning Post is no longer "James;" the Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp" since the decease of the Morning Herald—the "Mrs. Harris" to whom it would allude as an independent authority, and the two represented the same proprietor. But the Times is still the "Thunderer." It owes that name to Captain Edward Sterling, who is said to have begun a Times article with the words: "We thundered forth the other day an article on the subject of social and political reform"—London Chronicle.

Proper method of learning to derive any real benefit from walking, the step must be light and elastic; swing the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt. The harmonious play of the muscles imparts a supple grace and liveness that is felt mentally as well as physically, and produces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins. This manner of walking, as may be imagined, strengthens the whole body, giving tone to the nerves and producing just the sort of healthful fatigue which encourages sound rest and beautiful slumber. 1847-1907. 60 years ago Allcock's Plasters were first introduced to the public.

How sensitive deer are in the matter of food was proved once again during the hearing of a case at Feltham, England, where three men were charged with sleeping in a deer pen in Bushey park. A keeper said they had pulled down from the racks about ten shillings' worth of hay, which the deer would not afterward touch because it had been lain upon. In fact, the deer would not go near the pens, as the men had slept there. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, one much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.

ENGLISH VESSEL FOUNDERS ON COAST OF HOLLAND Gale Drives Ship Ashore—Prevents Life Saving Crews' Work—Only One Man Saved. London, Feb. 22.—The worst disaster for many years in the history of the channel traffic between England and the continent occurred during a violent gale shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday morning, when the Rotterdam mall steamer Berlin, from Harwich to Hook of Holland, having safely beached the hurricane, was hurried back to the sea. With only a single exception, all her passengers and crew, numbering altogether 143 persons, lost their lives. The terrific seas broke up the steamer with such awful suddenness that all efforts to save life appear to have been utterly hopeless. At a late hour it was reported that some few survivors were still clinging to the wreck, but the heroic efforts of all day the life of the lifeboat crews had failed to reach them, little hope that they will be saved remains. A terrific southwestly gale was blowing right inshore and drove the steamer on a sand bank close to the northern jetty as she was trying to quickly pounded the away. Heavy seas she broke in two, her fore-arm sinking immediately, while the doomed passengers and crew could be seen for a brief space of time clustered on the afterpart. Then the afterpart slipped off the ledge and disappeared in the Tugs and life boats, when the alarm promptly put out to the assistance of the Berlin, but the violence of the gale and the heavy seas made it impossible to approach the wreck, and the helpless would-be life savers saw the steamer break up and the crew and passengers washed away without warning. The wreck was asistance. One man, an Englishman, was saved. Twenty-five bodies have already been washed ashore. WOMAN HELD UP TO SCORN. Jerome Makes Mrs. Thaw Confess Her Wrongs. New York, Feb. 22—Under the stress of a cross-examination in which District Attorney Jerome gave no quarter, Mrs. Evelyn Nesitf. Thaw broke down on the witness stand, and, with blinding tits burning their way down checks which from ashen white flushed to crimson, she admitted that she had been in Stanford White, her relations with the architect continued for several months. But this was not all. There were other confessions, which, while damaging to her own character, accentuated all the more the terrible effort to save her is making in the effort to save her life in an electric chair. The case has progressed to the point where the defendant had been all but lost sight of. His girl like wife is the figure about whom the storm lashes up for her, is whose life is being seen around her and is the prosecuting officer. There was not a subject affecting the witness of so intimate a nature that the district attorney hesitated to hail in from its hong place and hold it before the gaze of the world, all the while requiring that she should recognize and own the fault in her own words. / MYERLY NAMED POSTMASTER. Representative Hull Sett is controversy—Makes a Statement. Washington, Feb. 22—Representative Hull has at last settled that Des Moines postoffice controversy by naming J. I. Mylery to succeed Postmaster John McKay. He so informed President Roosevelt yesterday and the nomination will probably be sent to the senate by the president today. Capt. Hull made the following statement: "The appointment is not factional," said Captain Hull. "I have selected Mylery without regard to any faction. He has the support almost of the entire east side. In West Des Moines, Cummings and are for him. If the matter went to war, I believe Mylery would be the choice. I would have been pleased to have appointed Mr. Lesser, but his appointment would have been more purely factional than that of any other candidate. I should also have been pleased to have named W. B. Keefer, a box holding the pension agency, to be the full well he has Mr. Lesser, who is living right there by the side of him, and give him the postoffice." MACKAY GOES ONE BETTER.

ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY. Match Twins with Twins, Was the Fond Mother's idea. A little woman entered a drug store and asked the proprietor if he had "an other picture." "What kind of a picture do you mean?" the druggist asked. "One like this," said the woman, holding up an attractive advertising print. "I may have one or two of them left," the proprietor said, "but I haven't many of them." The woman said she only wanted one, and her tone indicated that she was anxious for that one. She explained that the one she had with her had been given to one of her children. Another child, she stated, was sick, and was crying for a picture such as his brother had. "But," said the mother of the children, "you don't know. The children are twins and what one has the other wants." "Suppose," objected the moralist, "when your children get older, they fall in love with the same girl, what will they do?" But the mother was ready. She promptly replied: "Find twins and fall in love with them." DREADED TO EAT. A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food energy as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are—induction and its accompanying miseries. A Phila. lady said, the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion, total unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually have the same meals." "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidently, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are no well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, MN.

It costs from $1.50 to $2.00 an acre to raise peas, and an acre produces 400 pounds of pork. They are produced 400 pounds of pork the present time in the San Luis Valley and if the farmers there will devote one-fifth of the valley to this industry, they can turn out a million head annually."

COME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS. Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Recognize Vatican Titles. Among the lucrative sources of revenue of the pope before the separation of church and state in France was the toll or tax on titles of nobility and decorations. Since the rupture the French government no longer recognizes the ennobling titles and decorations of the holy father. To have the right to wear the Vatican ribbon, or to be called count, it was necessary to obtain a confirmation of title. This gave much perplexity to the candidates. The question has just been settled. Queen Wilhelmina has consented to validate such titles and distinctions.

Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as "cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflammation at once. Perhaps this may be the means of helping her suffering babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomason, June 9, 1906." **EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.** Some Account of the Arctic Trips That Have Been Made. Beginning with the American discoveries of John Cabot in 1497, the search for the northwest passage was for many years the object of rival expeditions from Denmark, England, France and Portugal, says A. W. Greely, in the Century. It was Frohbier, however, who in 1576-78 first gave a distinct national character to the quest. John Davis of Davis' strait, followed in three voyages, 1585-88, and then in 1589, 1590, he sent Henry Hudson, whose motto was that explorers should "achieve what they had undertaken or else give reasons wherefore it will not be." The search for the Atlantic side closed for two centuries with the voyage of a great seaman, William Baffin, who, in a tiny boat of 55 tons, with a miserable equipment, but an undaunted heart, attained, in 1616, the highest north in the western hemisphere, 77 degrees 45 minutes N., and discovered three radiating sounds, Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last being the eastern entrance to the long-sought passage. HOME-MADE CATARRH CURE. Sufferers Should Make This Up and Try It Anyway. Any one can mix right at home the best remedy of its kind known. The name "Cyclone" is given to the following prescription, it is supposed, because of its promptness in driving from the blood and system every vexion of cataract poison, believing this foul and drastically dangerous no matter it be located. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good pharmacy one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup Saraparilla. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. This is a harmless, inexpensive mixture, which has a peculiar action upon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all tartarial poisons, which if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or catarrh is the result. Prepare some and try it, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh specialist of national reputation. He Shut Her UP. Mrs. Cutting Hintz—Will we go to the Jamestown Exposition this summer?

The Iowa State penitentiary will finish filling its house tomorrow. The ice this season has been very thin, because of our exceedingly warm weather. Mr. Hooks of Chicago was in our city attending the funeral of his grandmother Mrs. Geo Chambers. Miss Lizzie Tolliver of Dallas City, Ill., has come here to make her future home. Mr. D. L. Holmes spent last Sunday visiting friends and relatives in Keokuk, Iowa. We are sorry to state that during last week there has been as many or more deaths in the same week than ever before in Ft. Madison. At the home of her mother Mrs. Elmira Crouson, 315 Fifth street, Friday the 8th at 3:15 a.m., Miss Elmira Cousson died of tuberculosis, age 42 years, 7 months and 29 days. The deceased has been a resident of Ft. Madison for four years. She was a member of the A. M. E. church. Besides her mother she is survived by four sisters and two brothers, namely Mrs. Charlotte Rollis and Mrs. Mollie Anderson of this city, Mrs. Sadie Woods of Montrose, Ia., Mrs. Jenne Holt of Galland, Ia., and James and Charles of Montrose. At her home at 127 Dode avenue at 8:36 p. m. the 4th inst., Mrs Louisa Chambers died of paralysis, aged 50 years and 9 months. The deceased was born in St Charles, Mo., and has been a resident of this city 31 years. She was a member of the Second Baptist church of Davenport and a grand officer of the Household of Ruth. She is survived by a husband, Rev. Geo Chambers, and four cousins, out of the city, who attended the funeral. Friday Feb. 5th at 2:30 p. m. from the residence, Rev. D. A. Holmes of Davenport officiating. Interment at Eimwood cemetery. As assisted in the paper sometime ago that Ft Madison lost by marriage one of its most prominent young ladies, but now we are very glad to write that Ft. Madison has one more, survived by welcoming Miss Beatrice Thomas of Galesburg, who will fill the vacancy. Master Harry Harper celebrated his seventh birthday anniversary last Tues day, witnessed by many young girls and boys. Mr Geo. Yeiser, Sr, an employee at the state penitentiary had a very unpleasant accident while hauling ice. He was handing ice and a large cake fell on his foot making it very sore, but no doubt Mr. Yelfer will be out in a few days. We a sneerly hope him a very speedy recovery. Neglected Colds Threaten Life [From the Chicago Tribune.] "Don't trifle with a cold," is good advice for prudent men and women. Proper food, good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold. Whether it is a child or adult, the cold sight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is safe and sure.

Pride and Vanity: The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for the admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect.—F. Marion Crawford. Resents Reference to to "Copperers." "What do you mean by talking about 'copperers' before me?" said a London magistrate to a man in the dock. "It is a gross impertinence to refer to the police as 'copperers' in a court of justice." Many Species of Animals Four hundred thousand species of animals are now known to exist, according to the latest report of the French natural history museum.

Pauper Glergymen. That ministers are underpaid would seem evident from the fact that during the last ten years 103 clergymen have been admitted to almshouses in England as paupers. Of these, one was a doctor of divinity, while the others held the degree of master of arts. Of all the Episcopal clergymen in England, 6,000 earn less than $20 a week, and the greatest majority much less—The Sunday Magazine. Masterpiece of Peter Paikoo. On a post card of the usual size shown at the Bucharest exhibition is written the bulgarian constitution in full, the opening speeches of various European parliaments and two poems by Rudyard Kipling—12,000 words in all.

The proportion of women to the total population is greater in the villages and on the farms, though these are some striking exceptions to both rules. Lord Roschery's Definition: It is to Lord Roseberry that we are indebted for the most modern definition of memory. "What is memory?" said a friend one day to him. "Memory," replied his lordship, "is the feeling that steals us over when we listen to our friends' original stories." Habit and Imitation. Habit is our primal fundamental law. Habit and imitation—there is nothing more perennial in us than these two. They are the source of all working and all apprenticeship, of all practice and all learning, in the world.—Carlyle. City and Country Dwellers. It is a mistake to suppose that the oldest countries always have the largest proportion of city dwellers. Argentine has a greater urban population, relatively to the total, than France, and Australia than Spain. Men and Women Immigrants Of the countries from which the immigrants come in large numbers to the United States, Italy sends the greatest proportion of men. Ireland furnishes the largest proportion of women. Hospital Built by Woman. A magnificent hospital, to be known as the Ho Min Ling, has just been opened by the governor of Hongkong.
