Tin Shep Attache Funeral of Ada Adkins. Last Thursday the funeral of little Ada Adkins took place from the Bap tist church in Medford. The crowd of people who, upon this occasion gath ered to pay the last sad tribute of love and esteem, was probably as lurg a one as ever congregated in our city up on a similar occasion. Every inch of seating capacity in the church wm oc cupied and many were compelled to stand and none were there through motives' of curiosity, but all to express their sympathy for the relatives and their great regard for the departed one. Following are the remarks of Rev. T. H. Stephens at the funeral: Ada Adkins was born in state of In diana, April 10, 1S31, and departed this life at Medford, May 10, 1893, aged twelve years and one month. Just a few days ago we were called upon to give up our dear sister Wald ron, the oldest member of this church, and to-day we are here to pay the last tribute of respect to the remains of our little sister, Ada Adkins, the youngest member of our church. Only a few weeks ago Ada expressed a desire to Unite with the enurch and be baptized, though it was known by her parents and others that for some time she had been trusting her Savior. She was re ceived and it was an impressivo fcene when she obeyed her Savior in baptism. Ada possessed -an intelligent faith in Jesus as her personal Savior, and had a remarkable grasp of the truth for one so tender Ln years.' She would talk about Jesus as one would speak of a personal friend. To her, Jesus was a real Savior. Not an historical charac ter, but an ever present, living S.irior. Since her public profession she has been very faithful and zealous in chris tian work. The conversion of her friends was a desire uppermost ia her miud. In fact, she seemed to forget' herself, and was absorbed in anxious thought for her friends' who were out ot Christ. She said the day b-'fore her departure, when questioned about the possible( results of her disease, ''If I don't live through it, I shall go aud bo with Jesus." At anotner time she said: "I know there is a crown for me." But in her last talks with the family, she expressed great concern for her unconverted friends, and said she was afraid she would not meet them in Heaven, unless christians prayed for them. What an exhortation do we have ia this earnest christian to pray for the unsaved! In mission woi k, too, she was deeply interested. More than once did she express a desire to pre pare herself for mission work. The record of her horl life is full of inspir ation. Lveryone who knew her, will be bettor for the fact. A gentleman said to me yesterday, "No one in town had more friends than Ada Adkius.'' Her last illness was severe, though of short duration. In the midst of it all she possessed great patience and resig nation. She was prepared to go. Wbile our hearts are pained, wo can rejoice that she has gone to a fairer clime than this. Let us now, one and all, father, mother, sister and friends, lis ten to Ada's favorite chapter, the words of the Psalmist David, "The Lord is my Shephard. I shall not want lie maketh me to lie down in green pas tures; ho leadelh me beside the still waters; he restoreth my soul; he lead- eth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mv enemies; thou anointest my Dead with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, -and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Thes words were very precious to Ada. She had committed them to memory aud appreciated the truth they contain long before she was called upon to pass through tho valley of the shadow of death. When the summons came she leaned upon the staff of God, swept out across the valley of death, into the paradise of the redeemed. There are times when silence seems to hold sway over our minds; times when we would be alone with God; times when we would seek the silent grave, and medi tate upon the sad questions which crowd themselves upon us; there are times when we insliuctively turn to the word of God, and in silence listen to its inspiringvdec'.aration of consoling truth. Oh! when the heart is full, when sad and bitter thoughts come crowding thickly up for utterance; when the strong arm of death boars away a loved one, and leaves the heart mournful and desolate, bow comforting to step out on the solid rock of God's most precious promises, and listen while the External one Oils and thrills us with his glorious light and truth. . There are seasons of sorrow when only God can' comfort; when only the bulm of Gillead, applied by hands divine, can help and heal. In the still hourof death, with the lifeless remains of ono whom we all loved, lying before us, let us listen while God speaks: "If your earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, you have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heaven." "Though you may .walk through the valley of the shadow of deatht you need fear no evil, my rod and staff, they will comfort you." "Blessed are the dead who die In the Lord, from henceforth. Yea, saith the spirit, thus may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." These glprious truths were Ada's comfort in life and her so lace in death. As she looked Into the future s lie said: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.1' She loved and trusted In him who said: "Suffer the children to come unto me and for bid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven." Nine years ago the rav ages of scarlet fever attacked he ; and her death was but the culmination of that dread disease. How true it is that our earthly bouse of this tabernacle is subject to decay and death. With the flush 0 health radio ut upon the cheek of youth, the storms of life begin to beat, and leave their traces as the years go' by. Alas, for poor, fallen nature! Death comes sure and soon. To the old, whose wrinkled face speaks of toil' and hardships; to the young and beau tiful who see the roses fading on their cheek, and age tracing wrinkles on their ivory brows) to one and all: "Sooa or late, death knocks at the rich man's palace and the cottage gate." But as we stand by the open grave and strive to pooetrater its vault of darkness; as we see the form of a loved ono lowered iuto its resting place. (hero to decay and return to dust upon what can we base a hope that this sad scene is not all, and that here we must say farewell forever? Alas! where shall we go for comfort and light? To the Bible we can go, and its light will dissipate the gloom that hovers over the grave. In the language of the distinguished Guthrie: "Faith steps forward, plants a triumphant foot on the black grave's edg, and silencing our fears, dispell ing our gloom, reconciling us to that lowly bed. she lifts her cheerful voice and exclaims: 'True, but what a change will bethere. Looking through her eyes, we see' the spell broken. We see that dust once more animate. And when the blast of the trumpet pene trating the caves of the rocks and fell down in the depths of ocean pierces the car of death in this dark, and cold, and lonely bod, where we have lowered a comn and left the dear form and sweet face of some loved one. mortal ity shall ris; in form immortal, more beautiful than love ev.r faucied o poet 6ang." "Yea." saitb the word of God, "this corruptible shall put 03 in corruptiuo, this mortality shall put on immoruJiiy." "We have a building of God. a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Death to the christian, is bdt the gateway to the par adise of God. A transition from one clime to another, from a dark one lo a , bright one; from a sphere where sor row. slcKness, 'luappointment crowd around us. to a beautiful home where joy, health and satisfaction shall be our portion forever. "We are' to live in a building of God," "in the house of the Lord forever," A building whosj beau- i-ty and glory will never lade; against wnose walls no storm will ever beat; a buildiag of God, made after the divine patera, perfect in all its parts, no de fect, no blot, a building of God eternal in the heavens. There it shall remain forever, the glory of the Redeemer and the joy of the redeemed. Jesus said: "In my Father's house are many man sions. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go away I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am there ye may be also. These who die in the failh haveonly gone on before. They will bi watching for us. Soon we shall go to join them la the realms of the blessed. Shall we' not gather in spiration from these words of God, and with the eye of faith piercing the veil which intervenes between us and th loved ones gone before, say with the poet: There are brighter skies than these ire know, Laud. when no shadows lie. Fields when immortal flowers bloom. And founu thai are ncrerdry. Thrr are domes where the stars are never dim. Where the moon forever gleams. And the music breath ot tbe rmdwnt hills. Sweep o'er the crystal streams. And now, in conclusion, let us lean upon God in this sore affliction. May his abundant grace be supplied to tne bereaved family and friends. The de parted one is 'at rest. Her redeemed spirit is basking in the joyful sunlight of the Savior's presence. Let us not sorrow as those who have no hope, but let us say: Notour will, but thine, oh Lord, bb done. While she was with vou. In sickness and in health, all that loving hands could do, was done for her comfort. May the plucking of this ten der flower, remind us that we too, shall soon run our course. A few more fleet ing days and death will come to close our eyes, still our hearts and stiff en our forms. May we be prepared to go when it is ours to sav farewell to earth- hy scenes, and may we all have the sus taining grace ol bim who sustainea our young sister in her short, sweat life. Trust in the Savior in wbom Ada trus ted, and he- will moke your dying bed as soft as downy pillows. H- will dis pel the gloom of the grave: he will bear you safe into tho realms of light and peace.

The royal commission from Can ada, appointed to examine into the systems of prohibition of the liquor traffic wherever it is in vogue and report to the Canadian parliament, are in Kanbas City. Besides the members of the commission there is a special correspondent of the brewers and distillers of Canada. It is his business to see . when the commission takes testimony that the liquor dealers have a fair show, and he'hunts up witnesses to prove that prohibition is a failure. The commission will thoroughly test prohibition. It will examina into every phase of the subject and de cide whether or not to reccoinmend the system to the Dominion of Can ada, On its present trip the com mission will visit Kansas and Iowa, as representative, prohibition states, and. Minnesota as the roost noted example of high license. ' . Where Beggars Thrive. Chief among the many puzzling questions with which my childish mind whiled away the weary half hour of a Sunday morning sermon, was the existence of beggars in Bi ble days. I pictured Palestine to myself as a land of temples, tombs and gardens, inhabited by beggars and Pharisees. Born and reared in the prosperous west, poverty such as the scriptural tales dimly suggested was to me a thing as vague as ths Hell of the same rec ords, a fa:.ry tale far "more unreal than the sleeping palace or the caves of Aladdin. Now, the puzzle is solved, I have seen poverty, I have been to Mexico, I understand Palestine. I can almost believe iu a horned Satan and fire and brim stone. To a casual observer Mexican poverty is extremely picturesque. It is not an imitation of respecta bility such as the humblest Amer ican will attempt, but it is human ity in rags and nakedness, too often in sores, almost always in dirt. There, begging is A trade, the oc cupation of all the poorer popula tion. Beggars infest the railroad stations at the interior towns, and a motley array it is. They are of all sexes, conditions and ages, with and without sores, the lame, the halt, and the blind. Babies in arms holding out dirty little hands for a "centavo," old women, young women, healthy little boys, crip pled grandfathers all whining to the same tune iu their mongrel Spanish, "For the !eve of God, Sea orita, give ine a cent." Give them cents! I poured them out upon them. Never had a cop per seemed of so much value. I luxuriated in their delight. I bought out tbe porter, the newsdealer and the conductor to satisfy the want that never could be satisfied; for there is a friendly feeling ambng these unfortunates, and when they find one who will give, they spread the glad tidings among all their class, and indeed I suspected them of having discovered some peculiar way of telegraphing the informa tion to the next station, so besieged was I for charity. Some tourists who had been in the couptry before endeavored to impress me with the fact that I was encouraging idleness, but who would not be idle when the sun was hot and water a luxury and even for labor, money was not forthcom ing. Tbiey must live. To live they must eai, and it seems to me that in the more desolate portion of the country, to eat, they must beg. Very picturesque were they, seen from the car window in the soft gloom of the southern night, their dark eyes gleaming like stars under their quaiat hat or still more prim itive head dress, their white teeth glittering as the musical Spanish rippled forth iu compliments calcu lated to appeal to the generosity of the senorita who seemed to them a small sized Providence. In the cruel glare of the sun, defects -became evident, and one saw the coarseness in the squalor and dirt, still never did they cease to be noetic. They- harmonized so per fectly wilh the background of cloud less sky, antique buildings, and tropical verdure. There was a beauty even in their very ugliness which was a plea for their existence and in remembering the pleasant est journey of my life I shall always have a tender recollection of the beggars of Mexico. Edith M. Day, in Lewis & Dryden's Railway and Marine Gazette. A Famous Medicine. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has become famous for its cures of throat and lung diseases. It is intended es pecially for coughs, colds, croup aud whooping coughs, and is the most ef fectual remedy known for these dis eases. Mr. C. B. Main, ot Union Citv, Fa., safs: "I hav a great sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Claus Spreckels, the big sugar king, has large interests in the is lands.' Here is what he has to say regarding annexation: "I was here when the revolution broke out, and I have come down to investigate. The labor question is an all-important one and consti tutes my only objection to annexa tion. The planters must have much labor, and this, in tbe necessi ties of the case, must be Asiatic labor. . Whites could it and Ka nakas will not work in the cane fields.- Negroes have been spoken of for laborers, but it is imposible to'keep them in the country; they always want to go home. The con tract system will not be tolerated by the United States, but that sys tem is no essential. There are three conflicting elements, the mis sionaries, th Kanakas and the op posing party of white adventurers, which cannot be united. The Kana kas are simply children. There is a gap between them and the whites which cannot be bridged a mist ing link which will never be found. There is no danger, though from England or Japan. Uncle Sam would not allow any power to take these islands. They are in the com mercial highway of the NorthPacific, and I be)eve they belong to tho United States if any nation is to have them. The Kanakas, though, are easily influenced, and I can't be here all the time." - THE QUEE IS PASSIVE. Spreckels has called on Queen Liliuokalani since his arrival, and informed the deposed soverign that monarchy is dead beyond restora tion. The queen some days ago stated to one of her advisers that she was entirely passive, and wait ing the action of the United States. She is quoted as saying: "Whatever the result may be, I will not utter a murmnr. I have advised my people to remain quiet." To President Dole, upon whom Spreckels also called, the latter ia said to have given the assurance that he would support a good gov ernment; that if he should persist in his idea of a republic, he would find many influential men ready to assist him ; that the saving between the carrying on of the government under a monarchy and tinder the present system produces sufficient funds to meet not only all the ordi nary requirements, but to enable 130,000 interest on outstanding bonds to be paid when it matures in June. Commissioner Blount is eaid to favor annexation. A Leader. Since its first introduction.

Mr. and Mrs. Rivers went to Jacksonville Friday to witness the band concert, as did several others. The Phoenix alliance is in a flourishing condition, 42 members on the roll and mora coming right along. Mr. Hoyt, who lives near Roxy Ann, took a trip up in the Butte country this week, on professional business.' . A horse belonging to John Wright got into a barbed wire fence lost Sunday and was badly cut up in consequence. Farmers up in the Big Butte country are just Bowing their grain, which looks rather odd to a man from the valley. John Ed sail and family, of this place, went up to Big Butte Sunday, after Mr. Edsall's cattle and to pay old friends in that section a visit. James Bell has purchased the store at Brownsboro, of Mr. Hess and intends keeping everything needed by the people in that section Mr. Hess will soon start for Modoc county with a band of cattle which he purchased from Mr. Bell. Mr. Biggs, of Medford, and J. B. Griffin, of Phoenix went np to Big Butte last week on a bear hunt, but failed to rake 'em in, as Griffin was so afraid of a bear he wouldn't .leave camp and Biggs didn't know how to find them, so they came ' back hungry, as one of Edmundson's bear dogs got into their lunch and ate it all up they both came back dis gusted. While on Butte creek last week we visited the store of Geo. Brown at 'Eagle Point, which is well stocked with goods, and well ar ranged and neat as any store in the county. We know George sells lots of goods by the empty boxes we saw in another room, anyway he gave us a nice big box for a grub box, that the fellow just down the street a short distance wanted to charge just a trifle for, only 25 cents, b ut we couldn t see it. George is doing well in Eagle Point and we are glad, of it, Manafraidofabear. . To The World's Fair! Are you going?
