The Auburn Post, a republican
sheet, is evidently not satisfied with
Bud Lindsey as a representative to
the national convention, judging from
the following: "It is an outrage on the
republican party and common decency
to have such a man as Bud Lindsey
represent it anywhere, even in a slum
ward of a city,but greater is the shame
and disgrace to send him to St. Louis
to meet with the leading and most
nrnminent men of the nation. His
color is as pure as snow when com
paired with his character."

In Memory of Sarah Cole Tonus;.
Sarah Cole was born in Fairfield
county, Ohio, November 12th, 1S06.
In her early childhood her parents re
moved to Pickaway county, in the
same state, blazing a road through the
wilderness to their new home. They
remained, during life, on the land
where they then settled. Her parents
were God-fearing people, her father
being a local preacher for many years.
She was converted and united with
the Methodist Episcopal church, when
in her seventeenth year. She was
married to Thomas II. Young of
Uniontown, Penn., Nov. 1st, 1825.
For about twenty years they made
their home in Central Ohio, where
nine children were given them. Of
these, five died in infancy, and lie
buried side by side on the banks of
Walnut creek in the old Hopewell
churchyard. In 1845 Mr. and Mrs.
Young removed to the northwestern
part of the state and settled in Allen
county. Here they owned over six
hundred acres of fine land. Having
means, they were always liberal sup
porters of the church. Their house
was always the home of the itinerate,
and many will remember their hos
pitality. In order to give their chil
dren better educational advantages,
they came westward in 1S52, to Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa. From the latter
place they came to Nebraska in 1S6S.
Here the husband and father died in
1S74 at the residence of his son in Cass
county. Since that time (Grandma
Young as she has long been known)
has lived with her son near Ashland,
Neb., and with her daughter, Mrs.
Coiner, of University Place. Neb. To
her daughter's home at University
Place the angel of death came on the
morning of April loth. Though her
ast years have been spent in much
eebleness, she was spared the en
durance of suhering in cer closing
hours. She lay in a stupor for about
thirty-six hours not speaking and
scarcely moving. Thus she passed
quietly away in a painless sleep. The
uneral sermon was preached at Uni
versity Place on the sixteenth by II.
L. Davis of the Lincoln district. His
text was 2nd Corinthians, 5th chapter
and 1st verse. The scripture reading
was the loth chapter of 1st Corinthians.
After the services, above named, her
remains were taken to Greenwood,
thence to the residence of her son in
Cass county, where after singing and
prayer at two o'clock on the following
dav, her neighbors and friends fol
lowed her to Callaham cemetery, and
laid her to rest until the resurrection
morning. How fitting that a well
rounded life should close just as all
nature is making to new life a beauti
ful type of the changing of these moi
tal bodies to those which are im
mortal.
Grandma Young's living children
are: Mrs. Sarah J. Crabtree, of Silver-
ton, Missouri; Mrs. Mary L. Comer,
of University Place, Neb; Mrs. A. A.
Finley, of Colorado City, Colorado,and
T. T. Young of Ashland, Neb.

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof the lower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killek. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
