As she 50. often said, “ I am ready to go; just watching and waiting; I am sitting by the gateway; I find ty heaven in the sweet will of God, sweet will of God. Time is passing, eternity approaching, and heaven in viting. Praise God.” Besides the son with whom she died she leaves a daughter, Mrs. Lucy Finnegan of Chicago. Com, ‘SOUTH DAKOTA IN SPRING Tithe is clothed with verdure green and spotted with the beautiful blue and white prairie flowers, tokens of luxuriant soil like that fair country to which Moses fed the children of Israel in ancient times. And like un to that land of plenty, South Dakota outrivals its sister States of the East in the products of its soil, sown,cul tivated and harvested in less time and with greater ease than in any portion of the United States.

Hunter, Immigra tion Agent for South Dakota, 205 The kicking in congress oy the opposition to the present administra tion over the way to which the ap propriation bills ‘were passed,and the plan to prevent them delaying action on the tariff bill indefinitely,does not find a responsible place in those who are anxious to get something done. The Michigan delegation is a unit in favor of the plan. Of it Congress man Hamilton says : As a new mem ber I should have greatly preferred to have had more time for the con sideration of these measures, but I became satisfied that it was necessary to put the sundry civil and general deficiency bill through at once. I was not in favor of the Unconpaghre clause in the Indian appropriation bill, and am not sure that I should have voted for it if that clause had not been stricken out. I did not be lieve that it was a good plan to allow a syndicate to become possessed of those valuable mineral lands, such as they are paid to be, nor of any other valuable land for $5 per acre The time has come for the government to increase the price of its valuable lands. My position on this bill was largely influenced by the hostile at titude of one of the committee, who allowed, as he said, his own personal opinion to give way before the wishes of the majority. It was necessary to rush these bills through, of course, AN AFFIDAVIT.—This is to cer tify that on May 11th I walked to Melick’s drug store on a pair of crutches and got a bottle of Cham berlain’s Pain Balm for inflammatorr rheumatisen which had crippled me up.

In the central part of the coun ty the opposition to the republicans are trying to make a show of fight against the election of Prof. Wells G. Brown as commissioner of schools, but it should be of no avail. That opposition does not seem anxious to give to the public a short correspon dence between Editor Johnson of the Hartford Day Spring and Miss Francis L. Stewart, Secretary of the State Normal school, concerning the standing of the opposing candidate to Mr. Brown. Under date of the 17th instant Mr. J. made inquiry : “ Will you kindly inform me by return mail whether the five years’ certificate granted Ira D. Loree in June, 1891, was ever renewed ? Does your insti tution have the power to renew such certificates if it sees fit?” To this by eturn mail Miss Stewart replies : “ Mr. Loree’s certificate has not been renewed. We do not renew five year certificates. A year of added work gives one for life.”
