W. B. Gil THE SilOETtlftOZ SECURED BY2 DEATH OF FATHER, iMrCRAE. Rev. John McCkae who has ben pus-tor of the Presbyterian church of this City since October, lii, diedat his residence February lit, PV.HI, afterajingoring illness of nearly a month.

Tho deceased was a native of Scotland, being born in Stewart-shire iu HI 9. His parents were of tho old religious Scotch class that has furnished so many strong-charactered men. Growing to manhood amid tho rugged scones of a mountain homo and tho benign influence of a wholosomo piety ho was well prepared for citizenship in his country, to which he came in 1 St 2, settling as a saddler in Nashville, Tennessee. Ho worked at his trade in that city until 1H.M, when ho dedicated himself to God and his lifo to tho ministry. From his first religious awakening ho felt that tho work of a niisi-ionnry was his, and when in 1852 he married the wife who now survives him, it was with thennderHtaud-ing that they wore to go to the then turbulent country of Mexico to tako work under tho Presbyterian Board of Missions.

Arriving on the Texas border he wns prevented, on a-' -oiint of tho hostilities between the Filled Stales and Mexico, from accomplishing his desire; this led himself and companion to remain in Texas, where he labored for several years. While feeling all tho horrors of war incident to a sensitive nature, still tho love of souls led him to accopt the Chaplaincy of tho Third Kentucky Cavalry, which position he held for over two yoarB. No where was the "minister" seeu more than in his labors in this capacity. Sharing all tho hardships of tho camp and march, he refrained from engaging in the innumerable actions which compromised so many chaplains during the war. In February 1870, actuated by tho same missionary zeal of his earlier years, he came to Kansas at the call of the Peatono and Conway Springs charge, in Sedgwick county.

The crop is rank, and apparently of spontaneous growth, and being upon a theme that is practically inexhaustible, it has assumed gigantic proportions.

Mrs. Jennie Kerr died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Bhoadhooks, near Noss City, February 3, 181)0.

Hor remains wore laid to rest in the Jia.ine cemetery beside her daughter, Mrs. Cart-whkiht. Mother Kerr was horn in Rockingham county, West Virginia, January 28, 1811. She removed to Ohio in early childhood and remained in that State until IKoo, when she removed to Iowa; and from thence to Kansas in 1878. At the ago of 34 she joined the Kree Will Baptist church.

She brought her certificate of membership with her to' Ness county but finding no organisation of that denomination kept it as one of her precious things till she died. Sho often spoke of her great ago and infirmities, and longod to go aud bo at rest. R-ev. F. A.

Gopomuii preached her funeral sermon from Rev. It, 13, a text which Mother KEkh had chosen and marked for the occasion ton years before. Out of a family of seven children sister J. M. Bkoaoboo'ks is the only one left to inuu.ru the absence of Mother.

A telegram wns received in this city Monday announcing the death of of Mrs. I. Beii.r Ei.ti.ng, at Kansas City. Mrs. Eltino was the widow of Jambs H.

Exr-iNa, Neaa county's first clerk, and was well known in this city and throughout the county. The lecture given by Hon. Waktin Allen was well attended, and especially by people from the country. Mr. Allen did not attempt to make a set speech, but occupied the evening in answering questions and talking upon topics suggested by different persons in the audience.

The case of the State vs. B. F. BntiM-back, for misconduct in office, which occupied the attention of court and jury three days last, week, resulted in a mistrial, the jury failing to agree on a verdict. This will leave the case on the docket for another trial at the next term of court.

The smoke stack at John Snow's mill was blown down by the high wind last Monday night, and considerably damaged. It was put place again Wednesday and the milf is now running as usual. This is the second time this winter Mr. Snow has had the misfortune of having his smoke stack blown down. County clerk Bkelrr has received a number of volume 1 of the General Statutes of Kansas, intended for the use of township trustees and justices of the peace of this county, and is ready to distribute them.

A sufficient number will be received in due time to supply all officers entitled to them, and volume 2 will be sent out as soon as it is completed by the printers. The township assosors will meet at the county clerk's office the first Monday in March for the purpose of agreeing upon a basis of valuation for the assessment of personal property. Taxpayers would do well to talk over matters connected with the valuation of this class of property with township trnstoes, in order that they may have all the information possible upon the subject. The next interesting public question on docket will be the city election. We linow of no aspiring candidates, and if the present incumbents are willing longer to shoulder the responsibilities of managing the affairs of the city we can see no reason why they should not be continued in office.

During the past two years we have had a careful, conservative and clean city administration, and one exactly fitted to the present depressed condition of matters both public and private. Let our people make no mistake in choosing their Mayor and councilmen, as the welfare of the city depends upon having in these positions men of ability and judgment, and who are willing to devote some timein looking after public business. W. F. Hague returned Thursday morning from Omaha where, in company with W.

P. Miner, be represented Ness county in the conference between the Kuneas Immigration Bureau and the Trans-Missouri Traffic Association. He reports that the meeting was harmonious and enthusiastic, and that the relations between the two bodies were of the kindliest nature. The railroad officials acceded willingly to every request made by the Bureau, though its representatives, and appeared as fully interested in the undertaking as the most zealouB delegate present. They promised to work in unison with the people of this state, and to do all in their power to Bocure the best possible rates from the eastern railroads.

Jn the matter of advertising Kansas to the world it was determined to issue a book, the first twenty-five pages of which should be devoted to a general description and statistics of the Htnto at large, followed by a Bingle page evoted to an exposition of the resources of each county and containing a map of the county. At the close of the volume will be maps of the State, and railroad maps showing all routes of travel leading to Kansas, making it a valuable traveler's gide. A a attempt was made by some of the stronger eastern counties to work in a lot of extra special but the effort was promptly "sat down tipon," and the book will be sent out to the world giving each and every county an equal showing. This feature of the immigration scheme will at least give the Western counties a square deal. As our readers may have some interest in the financial part of this undertaking, we will say that the books wil1 cost about four cents each, and the cost will be apportioned among the different counties according to population.

books will be issuod, aud Ness county wili bff expected to pay for about 400. OUR FREE COLUMN.

His work in our midst has been of tho highest character. Finding a more handful of members, he brought them together, led others into the church, imparted to them some of his own enthusiasm, built a church that would bo an honor to a much larger town than Noss City, and entered into tho work of a frontier preacher with all his former devotion. No minister ever worked more acceptably to his church than did Rev.

MoOuae. Ho loved his peoplo. Their lifo was his life. Their success his "vital While entirely loyal to his own denomination he possessed that catholicity of mind and heart which enabled him to comprehend his Savior's prayer "That they might bo one." Ho was anxious for tho success of other congregations. He rejoiced in any work that tended to increase the piety of tho community.

All the solicitude of a father for his family was felt by him for our town. Among his last expressed wishes he said 'I would like to live to do good and show this people how much I am attached to thorn. IIo was a typical Puuliue minister. Like Paul be determined to "knowing nothing save Christ and him crucified." Everything else was subordinated to the one work. That work was spiritual.

It actuated him in all tilings. In midsummer, though frail in body, it led him through the burning sun to tho homos of tho people. In midwinter through increasing infirmity it urged him into driving storms to his accustomed duties-It made him "Instant in season, out of season." If one characteristic was pro-dominont it was this spirituality. His sermons teomed with it. His prayers were but the outward expression of this inner lifo.

His conversation was upon things above.
