In a Spirit of Thankfulness. We, the members of Dick Yates post No. 50, G. A. contemplate with much pleasure the patriotic love of country and flag so signally and univer sally manifested throughout the nations on Memorial Day.

We read with especial pleasure the eloquent, patriotic and soul-stiirng ad dresses delivered on that day, and upon other days and recent occasions, by a number of our late brave and gallant foes in arms. We take the utterances of these brave men as an assurance that the principles for which we fought and suffered, and for which many of our brave comrades laid down their lives, are firmly established in every American heart, never to be eradicated. Being truly thankful for this, and other great national blessings, which are the fruition of the hope we entertained during more than four years of war; and being especially well pleased with the spirit of patriotism that was manifested by the people of Eureka and vicinity on this and former Memorial Days; and fully appreciating the Kind and helpful assistance rendered us, whereby our Memorial Day was made a pronounced success, we desire publicly to manifest that appreciation and thankfulness. Therefore be it, Resolved, By the members of Dick Yates Post No. 50, Grand Army of the Republic, in regular meeting assembled, that we most heartily thank First, The good people or Jureka and vicinity for their presence on Tuesday, and for a generous donation of flowers: Second, The pastor and members of the Christian church for the free use of their handsome building in which to hold the afternoon's exercises; Third, Judge T.

Small Pox Nearly Over. It seems to be well established now that the small pox is to be restricted to the cases already reported. The situa tion at the pest house 12 miles west of Madison is rapidly improving. One or two nurses will be released to-morrow and it is thought quarantine can be raised by the latter part of next week. All of the patients are well along in convalescence except Mrs.

Billips and she is improving" with strong hope of recovery. The credit tor this satisfactory state of affairs is due -to the commissioners and other health officers, whose prompt action confined the disease before it had time to make serious progress.

The doctors inform us that alum is a poison, and that alum baking powders should be avoided because they make the food unwholesome. Prominent hy- giemsts, who have given the matter most study, regard these powders as an evil that should be suppressed by state action.

In Minnesota and Wisconsin alum powders are not permitted to be sold unless they are branded to warn consumers of their true character, while in the District of Columbia the authorities have under the direction of congress, adopted regulations to prohibit the use of alum in bread altogether. Are not the people of other states, as well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon sin, entitled to warning of a danger which is apparently menacing them at close hand, and is not the whole country entitled to absolute protection, as the people of the District of Columbia are protected, by legislation which is entirely prohibitive? until we can have protection in the form of a statute, how can our state boards of health, state analysis or food commissions better serve the public than by publishing in the newspapers from time to time the names of the baking powders which they find to be made from alum? Meantime it will aid the housewife in designating the alum baking powders to remember that all powders sold at twen ty-five cents or less per pound are of this dangerous class. Pure cream of tartar powders are usually sold at from forty-five to fifty cents per pound. Institute Notes. The Normal Institute opened Tues day morning with a good attendance.

of S. It was a brick building and the second story was built of iron, being added some time after the first story was erected. The cost of the entire building was about there was an insurance of $1,300 on it in the Connecticut of Hartford. The odd fellows lost everything they had, records, new outfit of paraphernalia, and fur niture. They carried a policy of $325 in the National of Hartford, which amount less than half the loss.

Mr. Close had insurance to the amount of $3,200, which will fully cover the loss. The cause of the fire is as yet a mystery. It may have been an incendiary. About year ago Mr.

Long's barn, eight horses and mules, harness and buggy were des troyed by tire. That tire was also a mystery. D. E. Rathburn, of Sedan, Chautauqua county, Kansas, made application at the present adjourned term of the district court for admission as an attor ney and counselor.

The magazines are still full of war stories. The bloodshed was small in the last war; the ink-shed something cuuruiuua, Xhe Cuban generals have been narl ding the rolls to be paid bv the United States with dead men.

If this is not changed one result is inevitable. In less than a century the men of Kansas will be making the beds. Fame searches a man's character with cruel thoroughness. The girls at Law rence are now saying that Funston as a college student was a hammock fiend. At the Rowan reception in Atchison last week one man, seeking to intro duce his wife, was so embarrassed he could not think of her name.

Sunday, while attending a horse race at Paris, President Loubet was assaulted by a mob. Next to being an alderman in Chicago the most exciting thing in the world is to be president of France.

A man who has worked hard all his life can never become so rich that he can look comfortable in his best clothes. It is a pitiful truth that women trust their daughters with men whom their husbands wouldn't trust to open an account. Talk to enough agents and you will be told that every life insurance company in the country is giving the policy holder tne worst of it. Everyone is at least this mean: if he pays tax on his dog, he wants other people to pay on their dogs. When a man has his hair shingled close, everyone is reminded that he was once a boy, and had cuts and bruises on his head.

This is the season when the men who have made conspicuous failures are in vited to address graduates on "The Opportunities of Life." Another Atchison girl who gets $40 a month for sitting in an omce, will resign in a few weeks to wash dishes and cook for love and her board. It is not necessary to talk loud in say ing anything bad about a person; a whisper of such a kind can be heard all over the neighborhood. People are becoming very tired of the men who are nothing but patriotic. hen a woman can't sin at all, friends excuse her by saying that though "her voice is not strong, it is very sweet. nen a funeral is held on tsunday, a man knows that he can invent no ex cuse for staying away that his wife will accept.

There is a great quarrel in an Atchi son family. The wife claims it was her prayers which secured her husband a certain good position, and he insists that it was his fitness for the Job. He threatens to neglect his work, and see if her prayers will keep the job. A Poverty Social. The Pleasant View Sunday School of Otter Creek gave a poverty social at the home of Mr.

J. E. Rossel last Thursday night, June 1st. A short but interesting progi-am was rendered after which a prize was a- warded to the lady and gentleman who best represented poverty. The judges showed judgment in awarding the places to Miss Ellen Sele and Mr.

Ed. Forbes. Ice cream and crackers were served. Several fines were inflicted on those who came late or were not dressed like poverty. A splendid time was had, of course you couldn't expect otherwise as Mr.

He had been a hardy and strong man and fol lowed the trade of a stone cutter in his native land.

What led him. to end his life can only be a matter of conjecture but likely it was one of those turns of depression, incident to such longevity, He divested, himself of his coat and hat, and seems then to have plunged into a large well; the well was some seven feet across and had about as many feet in depth of water. He had been missed by the family but one or two hours. The inquest resulted in a verdict of suicide As an old resident, with many friends and acquaintances, the funeral was largely attended; and his remains were tenderly laid at rest beside the body of his wife, the new Hamilton cemetery, where the friends had erected a fine Scotch granite monument.
