Little Irma was sick only a little while but the best of efforts of medical skill and the tender cars of friends could avail nothing and she sank rapidly until death came to her relief Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church, at 3 o'clock P.M. by pastor, Fowler, after which the little remains were laid to rest in the cemetary at Magnet. The sympathy of this entire community goes out to the bereaved parents.
Broken the link that bound thee to earth,
Forged through a new one in heaven,
And we are thankful that here upon earth,
Sweet one to us though was given.Rest thou now on, our loss is thy gain
For thy sweet spirit immortal
Sleeps to eternity free from all pain,
Safe just inside the golden portal.
CARD of THANKS We desire to express through the columns of the MAIL our sincere thanks to the kind friends who so generously offered assistance and sympathy during the sickness and death of our beloved little one, and, to say that all the good-will which has been shown to us is appreciated as coming from the kind noble hearted people.

This is, to say, the longest day, however you may search,
but you will hardly notice it unless you are at church.At any rate, the swimming-hole will get a little warmer,
and harvest time will vex the soul and slumber of the farmer.
He'll pray for hands to tend his lands, spread food and tie the dog;
and the wary tramp will make his camp inside a hollow log.The rich will be away to spend the summer by the water
to live until the season's end the glad life of an otter.
The poor, meanwhile, will sweetly smile, however fortune goes,
and splash and rub, inside the tub, alternate with the clothes.The singing stars will reindulge their old familliar riddle,
and milk and buttermilk will bulge the boarder round the middle.
The heart of June wIll hum a tune, or plenty or a crust,
and the whippoorwill when night is still will whistle like to bust.And then July will come around
In terible ascendance
And we will shoot each other up

The Sioux City News.I. O. Woolston, cashier of the Magnet State Bank, is in receipt of a letter from Governer Saunders, of Louisiana, in which he calls especial attention to the great many reasons for holding the Panama Exposition at New Orleans instead of San Francisco, among which are; There are over sixty million of people living in a radius of 1000 miles of the former place while there are only six million in the same radius of the latter, also, the average railroad fare to New Orleans for over 75 per cent of the people of this country to visit an Exposition there would be $12.50, as against $37.50 to San Francisco. It is also claimed, by the leter, that the majority of the people visiting such an Exposition, from South American countries would have to go through New Orleans to reach San Francisco.
Representative G. M. Hitchcock of Omaha, a member of Congress is charman of the committee on Foreign Affairs and could do much to secure this appointment for any city. Everybody is requested, by this letter, to use their influence on this matter for New Orleans.
