Monday night, and he counts seven

a prosperous farmer, living west of
Manyard, but the loss is quite serious,
nevertheless. This is killing stock
by the wholesale, and at the rate
we poor fellows are paying for beef

Who Passed Away at Her Home in Murray j
on Friday, May 17, 1907
A precious jewel from us has gone
and passed into that fair and happy
home. Again has the Anuel of Death
visited our neighborhood and taken
from a once happy home, a kind and
loving daughter and dearly beloved
sister and one who will be sadly miss
ed by all who knew her.
The long days and nights of patient
suffering, waiting and watching has
ended, and the light of the perfect.'day
has dawned upon the radiant spirit of
Miss Florence McDonald, who on May
17, passed into the mysterious sleep of
the grave. Calmly and peacefully like
the closing of a summer's day, the
spark of life went out of her tired
spirit and Hew to the haven of rest.
Florence, daughter of Mrs. Myra
McDonald, born Nov. ;jo, J.Ss-l, leaves a
mother, one sister, Mrs. Grace Mel
linger of Ashland, Oregon, and a
brother, Oscar of Murdock, and many
relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
The services were held in the Chris
tian church at Murray. Jt is said to
be the largest gathering ever there.
Rev. A. L. Zink of Plattsmouth, spoke
words of comfort and consolation to
the mourners a"nd in his discourse
likened life unto a llower thaUcometh'

beautiful tribute to the life of one who
has been called so early to give up all
that had been near and dear to her
here below.
The dear one wished to recover for
the happiness it would bring to others
but could not. Otherwise she was
glad to go. She had expressed faith
in her Savior and was ready to depart
from this shore, from which her fath
er had departed fourteen years ago.
She was a constant sufferer for fifteen
months from a complication of dis
eases, and with a patience born of di
vine grace, she bore her suffering to
the last moment with such a spirit of
cheerfulness, that she was taught a
sweet lesson of uncomplaining, self
forgetfulness to these who were with
her of ten during her illness.
Loyingly and tenderly we laid her
to rest by the side of her father in the
Horning cemetery and paid our last
tribute of respect to one esteemed so
highly and around whose memory will
cling so many pleasant recollections.
Slowly and surly the cloud of sorrow
lias settled over the home and un
speakable sorrow is burdening the
hearts of those who loved her. It is
hard to give up those we love. But
the ruler of the universe knoweth
best and be who has taken her away
will be their guiding star.
Alas, that mortal men so little know

She was a dear and true friend to
all wbo knew her. None knew her
but to love her. Those who knew her
best loved her most. She possessed
that cheerful disposition of always
seeing the brightest side of life even
in her last hours spoke these cheerful
words to her mother "to think all was
for the best and look for the good
things in life." To our short sighted
wisdom, the death of such a needed
one seems a sad mistake. Put God's
purpose is unknown to us, and all
things work together for good to those
who love Ilim. The kind Father
hath some need of his beautiful itower,
so He called her to a highbr sphere to
finish her work in the happy realms of
the blest. It was not meant for us to
completely understand.
We only kow that thou hast irone
And that the same i-et urn less tide

Where sorrows never come:
Beyond the dismal darkness of the tomb
Where flowers sweet in fadeless beauty bloom
She is at home.

Oh. Rats!
The Agricultural department at
Vv'ashington estimates that rats de
stroy grain annually in the United
States to the value of 3100,000,000.
It is also declared that these pests are
multiplying rapidly despite the war of
destruction that is beinsr waged
against them. The department says:
"Their proliticness is the chief
obstacle to their extermination.
They produce young from three to six
times a year and females breed when
about months old. The average
litter is about ten, but often it num
bers fourteen or more.
It three litters of ten each are pro-
! duced every year, a single pair, breed
