Of all kinds. SHINGLES, ST. LUKE'S TERMS: Dealer In Death and Funeral of John H. Bonarth of Pefeln, Cowlitz County. John S.

Bozarth WSS boru in Marion county, Missouri, March 26th, 1824. He longed to see this far-off land, and in company with Solomon Strong, one of his old neighbors, and Hon. Win. Dillon of Clarke county, and a large company of emigrants, crossed the plains in 1847, bringing with him his oldest sister, then a widow, and her four children. After live months' travel and hardship they arrived at the Dalles, at which place his older brother Owea, and brother C.

C. Bozarth, wHo bad arrived two years previously, met tho party with provisions and escorted them down the river in whale-boata and bateaux. In the fall of this year he engaged in boating emigrants from the Dalles to the Cascades, and from there to Vancouver. He found the pioneers of America Hudson's Bay entire possession of this coast; had a fort and trading post at Vancouver. During the winter of the three Christopher C.

and John, worked for Hudson Bay Company getting out rails at a dollar a hundred and board themselves, making 21,000 rails. Iv the spring of 1850 John S. Bozarth waa united in marriage to Miss Asenath Luclling of Milwaukee, Oregon. This happy union was blessed by the advent of eleven children in all, te make glad their hearts aud home. Iv February, 1852, he removed to Lewis river, where he resided up to the time of his death, which occurred Monday, March 13th, 1882, having lived an exemplary life, and was an esteemed neighbor aud citizen; a model father and husband.

The brat deep sorrow came to cloud their lives May 26, 1874, when a link iv the golden family chain was broken, and the death of a beloved daughter left a void in their hearts aud home. He found consolation in a blessed hope that promised a happy reunion; calmly leaning en this faith lie waa becoming reconciled when a sadder and greater bereavement took from him his dearly beloved wife on the 30th day of November, 1874. Who can describe the sorrow that preyed upon the heart of the aftlicted husband and father? Again he found consolation, only in the blessed assurance that Hope gave of meeting the dear ones who had preceded, ar.i now waiting for him in the spirit laud. He lived in that blessed faith, which, casting her longing eyes beyond the proud swelling of the Jordan of death, aces only the inviting land of promise, and sings the triumphant song: "Ol Death, where is thy stmg? grave, where ia thy victory!" On the 4th of Aug. 1879, he was again married, to Mrs.

L. A. Inghram, daughter of Mrs. Rachel John ot Lewis river, and sister of the ever to be loved and lamented late Mrs. Mary J.

Maxon of thia city. Not many months after thia marriage friend Bozarth met with an accident in which be sustained severe broken lag, and could not turn over in bed for 63 days. All this time his faithful wife stood over him day and sight, and carried him through to convalescence; but, he never fully recovered from the terrible never waa the same rugged looking John Bozarth. Again death in and takes from him another daughter, Emma Colvin, on Feb. 24th, 1881.

Then agaiu heart was made to bleed, for on Dec. 12th, 1881, Mrs. Clara Smith, a daughter living with her happy husband and two little children at Castle Kock, VV. was called to the "Land of the Leal," aud went to join the family circle over the river. Thus one death sorrow after another preyed upon him; for he was a man who could and did hide intensest grief, for he loved dearly his family of bright and happy children and faithful wife.

He was kind and generous to all who knew him; always ready to lend a helping hand to everyone in trouble and sorrow. He was a favorite with everybody, and a leading citizen in his county. He was an active officer in the Grauge, and this institution by hie death au able, influential and honorable live member aud officer, who wss ever watchful of the best of all concerned. He leaves a family of five children, and at beys, and two daughters, accomplished young ladies, wife snd large circle of and to mourn his loss. No man will be more misssd in tha Lewis river country than John S.

Bozarth. Hs wss always ready for every good word snd work. Always cheerful and happy, engaging in ail the pleasantries snd socisl of the community, interesting himself in the of the young people, mingling with them in literary and taking always an active part. He was staunch, able defender of the public free snd encouraged everything thst went to make up a good, intelligent, healthy sentiment in the community. Wa will now allude to the scenes whioh took place during lickneee aud final illness.

The evening of the dsy upon wbick his daughter Mrs. Smith waa buried, he stricken down with a paralytic stroke. The following evening he talking of death snd eternity to Mr. Smith, and said ha had so concerning death; he only dreaded leaving all his dear ones. In the night, as Mrs.

C. C. Bozarth wsa watching by the sick-bed, she heard him apeak, and supposed he wss talking in bis sleep. He said: "Oh, hew beautiful; noma (oiks era afraid ot sash taiaas, bat lam not. It ia a pi for te see Mrs.

Beesrtb asked, "What is it John?" "It to Larsaa (hi. deeeeeee stoter) and (a trttto dssgater that wsa alao dead) haw baeamfsl they took." Mrs. B. asked where they were. He said, "There, I can see them; some folks are afraid of such things." Mrs.

Bozarsli asked him if he had been dreaming, aud he replied, "No, I was not dreaming." A short time before his spirit passed away, and while he was too weak to speak, in answer to hia wife's question if he would like to bid hia children good-by, he gave an answering pressure of the hand. The children were called in, and one by one he took them by the hand as their names were told to him, and though he could not see them, nor speak to them, each child felt all the fondness of a father's love in that last pressure of the hand that bid them to meet him in the world beyond. He had selected his grave beside that of his wife and children, on tho home farm, a few rods frsm the hall that bears hia name. Having passed to spirit life on Monday, at 11 a. on Wednesday hia neighbors and friends gathered to pay the last sad rites to a beloved friend and esteemed neighbor.

The pall bearers, Solomon Strong, Geo. W. Love, Win. H. Black, (J.

W. Maxwell, Dr. James Bybee, Win. McAferty, carried the remains to the hall, followed by the family and a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. Mr.

D. W. Gardner conducted the funeral services, with appropriate remarks. He had known the deceased for '29 years, and could best apeak of his grand asd noble virtues. He spoke in a cheerful, hopeful manner of the future state of existence.

All eyes were suffused with tears as the old gentleman struggled with his feelings as be told the wife and family to "not mourn as those having no hope. (iod sustains the dear ones all, for words that we might utter can have no power in assuaging their grief. One of (iod's noblemen; he was ripe for eternity. X. A BEHAHHAHLE HTATEMENT.

The rmuMMl Experience etfu Prominent Made Pahllr. Tho following article from tho Democrat anil Chronical, of Rochester, N. ia of striding a nature, and emanates from so reliable a source, that it is herewith re-published entire. In addition to the valuable matter it it will be found exceedingly interesting. To the iilitor of the Democrat ami Chronicle: motives for the publication of the most unusual which follow, are, first, gratitude for the fact that 1 have been saved from a moat horrible death, aud, secondly, a deaire te warn all who read this statement against some of the moat deceptive by which they bavo ever been surrounded, lt is a fact that to-day thousands of people are within a foot of the grave and they do not know it.

To tell how I was caught from juit position and to warn others against neariug it, are my iv this communication. On the first day of June 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my and waiting for death. Hoavenonly knows the agouy 1 endured, for words can never describe it. Aud yet, if a few previous, any one had told me that I to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 00 and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness ware.

Very many people who will read this statement realize at that they are unusually tired aud cannot account for-it. They fael dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or thayarecousiderably hungry oue day and entirely without appetite the next. This was juat the way I felt when the relentless malady which bad fastened itself upon me began. Still I tboght it waa nothing; that probably I had taken a cold which would toon pass away.

Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it would come oue day snd be gone the next, I paid but little attention to it. However, my stomach wss out of order snd my food failed to digest, causing at times great inoonvienoe. Yet I bad no idea, even as physician, that meant anythingaerious or that inoua'truua disease wsa becoming fixed upon Candidly I thought I suffering from malaria aud treated my naif accordingly. But I got no bettor. I next noticed peculiar color snd odor about the fluids I wss passing -alao that there were largo quantities oue day and very little tha next, snd that persistent froth snd scan appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled in the bottom.

And yet I did not realise my danger, for, indeed, seeing thaae symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had uo pain in the affected or in their vicinity. Why 1 should have been to blind I cannot There is terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usually a person to bis sanoes even though it may then be too Lata. I realised, at last, my critical condition snd arouamt myaelf to overcome it. And, Ob! how hard I tried! 1 oousulted the bast medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral in America and traveled from Maine to California.

Still I grew worse. No two agreed tossy mslsdy. One said I wss troubled with sound irritation: another, ooamnj tsua of the hessef hhs twain; and se ea NUMBER 32. through a Hit of common diseases, theiymptoma of all of which 1 really bad. Ia thia way several years passed, during all which time I was steadily growing worse.

My condition had really become pitiable. The alight symptoma I at brat experienced were developed mto terrible aud constant little twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, aud lived wholly by injections.

I was a living of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. Ia my agony I frequently fell upon the door, convulsively clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six daya aud nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly.

My urine was filled with tub casts aud albumen. I was struggling with Brignt's Dip.ease of the Kidueys in its last stages. While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Be v. Dr. Foote, rector of St.

Paul's Church, of this city. I felt that was our laat interview, but iv the coarse ef conversation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me many remarkable cures which had come under bis observation, by this remedy and urged me to try it. As a practicing physician, and graduate of the schools, I cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial.

So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that 1 finally promised 1 would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and took it according to At first it sickened me; but this I tiiought was a good sign lor one in my debilitated condition. I continued to takejit; the sickening sensation departed and I waa able to, retain food upon my stomach. In a few daya I noticed a decided change for the better aa also did my wife aud friends.

My hiccuugha ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly. 1 waa so rejoiced at Una improved condition that, upon what I had believed my dying bed, 1 vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make knowu this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever 1 had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, atatiog in full the symptoms aud almost hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and. in less than three I had gained 26 iv Hash, became entirely free from pain and 1 believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner a Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which 1 used.

Since my recovery I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kiduey difficulties and Bright'a disease, and tha truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a phyaician, that I believe more than one-hall the deatha which occur in America are caused by disease of the kidneya. Thia may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright'a disease no distinctive symptoms of own, (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the or their but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. of people die daily, wboee burials are authorized by a physician's certificate of Heart Apoplexy, Paralysis, Spinal Complaint, Rheumatism, Pneumonia, and Other common complaints, when iv reality it waa Disease of the Kidneya.

Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extant of thia disease or dangerous aud insidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itaelf upon the conatitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly hereditary consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Kutire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realised the myatenooa power wbick was removing them. luatead of common symptoms it often none whatever, but brings death suddenly, and aa such is usually suppooed to be heart disease.

As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what be says, 1 implore everyone who reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptoms of Kidney difficulty. Certain agony and possible death will be the sare result of auch neglect, and no one can afford to hazard such chances. I am aware that auch aa unqualified statement coming from me, known throughout the entire land as a practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise sad possible animoaity of the medical profession aud astonish all with whom 1 am acquainted, but I make the foregoing statements based upon which I am prepared to produce, aud whioh I can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of those who may be sufferers auch as I was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I can auoeeesfuliy warn others from tha dangerous path in whioh I onoe walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal conseuuonces.
