lienolLtd, That June A. Wentz, Esq.,
the very efficient and affable general
agent of the U. Si M. R. R-, at Oitum

extended to us the opportunity to at
tend said festival, and who accompanied
the party to and lioiu Plattsmouth, and
who in every possible way Contributed to
our comfort, pleasure and safety, has, if
possible, added to the regard we have
ever felt for him, and he will please ac
cept our grateful acknowledgments.
Jicsolietl, lhat we highly appreciate
the opportunity thus afforded us to pass
over and examine the two western divi
sions of the 13. & M. It U. extending
from Ottuiuwa to the Missouri River,
and we take great pleasure in saying
that we found the road, in all its ap
pointments and management, a lirst-
class road, passing through a region ol
unexampled beauty and iortihty. In
deed, we were agreably surprised to
find a road, so recently completed, so
perfect m every particular, and we can
hio.-f cordially recommend it to the fa
vor of the public.
Jiesolted, that while we find it nu-
possible to mention an whose kiiiu a
teutiontions during the trip, placed us
under obligations, we cannot refrain
from particular mention of that most
excellent conductor, John Miller, aud
Charles U. W entz, Lsq., agent of the
R. & M. R. R., at Platisiuouth, whose
courteous attentions have commended
them to our enduring regards.
liesohedy That we found the citi
zens of Plattsmouth universally cour
teous in ministering to all our
wants. And while we are unable to
enumerate all to whom we were iudebt
debted, would especially thank the lb n.
ex-Mayor of the city, Captain II R.
Murphy and O. A. Derby, whose atten
tions we highly appreciated.
R solved, That it afloids us great
plea.-ure to be present at the opening of
the "Rrooks House," which we found
in every respect a first-class hotel, capa
cious, roomy, well furnished, with a
table supplied with all the delicacies of
the the locality and season, and presided
over, with tact and ability, by Messrs.
Iligby Si Son, to whom, and the excel

warmest thank. It will always afford
us pleasure to enjoy the hospitalities of
the "Rrooks House'" which we regard
as an ornament and credit to the rising
city of Plattsmouth.
Resolved , That the ladies of Ottumwa
who graced the occasion by their pre
sence are entitled to our warmest thanks
and unbounded admiration. W'c can
sa' very sincerely that to their presence
we are indebted for no inconsiderable
portion of the pleasure enjoyed by the
"Lords of Creation."
Resolved, That these resolutions be

From the Muscat in o (Iowa) Journal, May 14.
Maj. Charles E. Fulton, a prominent
and highly esteeme 1 citizen of Ottuiuwa,
recently Mayor of ihe city, died on the
28th of March, under circumstances of
a peculiar character. We have read
the statement given below with profound
interest. We knew. Maj. Fulton, ha i.ig
met him in business circles, an. I knowing
as we do that he possessed a sound,
prac tical mind, we give full credence to
his dying words. lie was not a man to
be deluded by an hallucination, or to be
carried away in his dying hour by reli
gious fancies. The following account
was written by a friend who was with
him in his last moments, and was origin
ally printed iu the Ottuiuwa Courier:
"After an hour's conversation with the
family and relations of the late Maj. C.
10. Fulton, I was impressed that your
readers, and the community at large who
knew his every day life, would be inter
ested in an account of its somewhat re
markable clo ;e.
"His disease, acting almost wholly
upon his nervous and circulatory system,
left his mind clear and of its usual vigor
to the- end. And those who watched
by him, day and night, info: m me that
there was no one hour during his pro
tracted sickness and inttiisC su lei nigs
that reason failed or that his intellect ap
peared clouded. About three weeks be
fore his death, he had given up hoi es
of recovery, and conversed freely and
fully upon the approaching event, evinc
ing no fear or dread of death, and on!y
desiring life for the sake of his faupy,
and repeatedly saying that the faith that
had been his through life was sufficient
for the hour of death. Daring the last
uays ot his in-; he arranged hit . usine.-s
aitd left kind words of affection and ad
vice to his family and friends, with as
great composure as in health he had
transacted the ordinary duties of life.
In the early part of Sabbath night,
and as early as 3 o'clock of .March 28,
ne recognized the icy arms or death as
they began to be folded aliout him, and
at 4 o'clock had his children brought and
bade them a last farewell, then summon
ing his failing strength uttered the fol
lowing praver :
"Oh ! Almighty Father, if yet Thou
art a God ujwaii earth, and hast compas
sion on human woe ; if yet thou art a
husband to the widow and a father to
the fatherless, look in pify uon this my
stricken wi.'e, and these m' fatherless
children."
The many words, expressions, and
prayers of the next two hours, though
recorded, and of sacred interest to his
family, wemnst pass over.
At about G:30 o'clock he sank visibly
into the arms of death, all thinking that
they had heard the last whisper from
his lips. After lying thus fr some ten
minutes, he aroused with the exclama
tion, faintly uttered : "Not unto us. Ok !
Father, but unto Thee. Ik; all the glory."
Pausing a moment, he exclaimed, "Five
millions ! " I lis wile, leaning over hiiu,
said, "Newton, what does he mean?"
Newton replied "Spirits; " he whisper
d, "Yes, that is it." Then followed
the conversation here given, in the fam
iliar terms in which it was accurately re
corded by the nieniliers of the family,
within a few hours after his death.
His wife then aked, "Are thay re
deemed spirits?" Answer -"Yes, Souie
eame .yesterday; others just getting in."
His wife then Mid, "And you, darling,
srell th number." Assented to by
"Y'es." She then aked, "Are they
coming to welcome you home?" An
swer "Y." Newton asked, "Char
ley, do you know them?" Answer "
krov all ihnt I kntnc rn earth.'" His
wife asked, "Do you see Fac her?" Au
swer v inch railier; lUunng the
night and day previous, to test his fail
ing siht, he had rejeateiily been asked
it he could see ccrtaiu persons ttandmg
near; Father Mast was then standing by
the bedside hence his reply he doubt
ing whether the meant spiritual or nat
ural "sbght,) His wife said, "Father
Fulton (died six years aj;o). Answer
"Yes," Question by the same. "Do
you see liule sister Mary who died long
ago in Virginia?" Answer "Yes."
She then exclaimed. "Then we do know
each other iu Heaven." He turned his
face toward her with a faint smiie ex
pressive of knowledge and surprise at
the doubt, and whispered "Certainly."
Newton then asked, "Charlie, is Heaven
then a reality?" Answer "Yes." His
wife then asked, ''Charlie, do you see?"
Answer "Yes." (At this point the
victory over death seemed so complete
the triumph so great that glory rather
than gloom filled the death chamber. A
feeling of supreme exultation a near
ness to, and sympathy with syintual life
possessed each heart in a degree entirely
unknown and unexperienced before. )
Rotween gasps he then whispered "I
am so weak let me rest and then I will
an-wer your questions."
After waiting a moment Newton asked,
"Charlie, haveyouanj strange feelings?"
Answer "'Yes." Question by same
"Have 3'ou any pain ?" Answer "only
general" pausing he proceeded between
gaps, saying : "Understand me 1 mean
corporal suffering, not spiritual." Ques
tion by Newton "Charlie, is there any
fear, any trepidation ?" Answer-"Oh!
no." Question by the same "Then is
it so terrible to die?" Answer "No."
His wife answered this by "Is it a door
that opens to admit us into a better life?"
Answer' Yes." Question by the same
"Darling, arc you happy ?' Answer
"Oh! yes." By 'the same "Does it
look bright?" Answer "Sunny and
fair," admitting an instant afterwards
"1 iu just catching glimpses, question
by his wife "Brighter than anything
you ever saw on earth?" Answer
"Oh ! ves." He was again asked if he
saw Josus. Auswci " Yes." Question
by his wife. "Is He n aryou Answer
"Yes." She then exclaimed, "O
death, where is thy sting : O grave,
where is thy victory ' ' Nowiuti a ked,
"Charlie, has deal ii any .-tmg .'" Ans
wer "No. And again lie sank away
and the last word had f.iH. ti from In.-
lips closing in death, and thu-ended the
triumph which was tlie natural outgrowth
of a life, the ino::o of which had beon
tlie golden rule and '1 cace on earth,
g od will to men." A.mic rs.
Mai. Fulton was horn in London
county, Va.
early life he removed to
Champaign county, Ohio: was educated
at the Iowa V esleyan University and
llan'ard Law Sihool, from the latter of
which he graduated with distinction in
1SG0. He iuune Iia"cly began the prac
tice of law in Cincinnati, from whence
Iv-went into the Six'y-Sixth Regiment
Ohio oiuutecr liilantry as laptain;
was afterward promoted to Major, and
served with distinction until a severe
wound, received at Cedar Mountain,
c impencd hr.u to resign.
In eatlv life he united with the Meth
odi-t Kpi.-copal Church, of which he was
a consistent mtm-.icr until death. His
mind remained unclouded to the 1s t, and
conscious of approaching death, ho met
i with as great composure and willing

Salt Creek Ford, known to ali early settler and to all plainsmen ou the Soutli
l'latte route. Fine mills are already in operation.
THE! RiLZRO.&Z) FACILITIES
Of Ashland are not equalled by any other inland point in the State, as a glance
at the map will show. The Burlington & Missouri lliver llailroad in Nebraska
is now tiui-shed and cars runnin.tr to A.-hland, and will be completed to Lincoln
before tlie-time of the stile. This is the great through route between the
Atlantic and t'le Pacific, and will be completed to a connection with the main
trunk of the Union Pacific mad in awry short time. This is the. only line of
railroad between the east and west that lias a through line extending west of the
Missouri river, hence it cannot fail to control a large share of the through trade
between tlie Atlantic and Pacific. A point with the natural advantages wh'uh
surround Ashland, situated upon this line of road, cannot fail to become important.
The town has not less than one thousand inhabitants at the present time, and
has several very fine brick and stone buildings.
