DEATH'S HARVEST.
Since the MONITOR'S last issue the grim destroyer - Death - has made desolate several Manning homes and saddened the hearts of a multitude people. It is seldom that we are called upon to chronicle the deaths of as many prominent and universally beloved citizens as we are compelled to this week, and we hope the unpleasant task will never be repeated again (John Hoffmann, Magdalena Schumaker, Milda Tank, and O.B. Dutton all passed away).

O.B. DUTTON.
Mr. O.B. Dutton, of Nevada, Iowa, died at the residence of his son, Orson Ernest Dutton, in this city yesterday afternoon of consumption, aged 66 years. The deceased came to Manning a little over a month ago to make his son a visit, and gradually his disease took him away. Mr. Dutton had been a banker for a number of years, and was a man of large acquaintance. He was born in Oswego County, New York, and for the past thirty years had been a resident of Iowa, the greater part of the time at Nevada. He was a gentleman of considerable means and educated his three living sons for banking. O.E. is connected with the First National in Manning; O.J. is running a bank at Grand Junction, and Jay, formerly of the First National Bank at Missouri Valley, is now proprietor of a lumber yard at Perry.

After prayer and a few remarks by Rev. O'Flyng, the remains were taken to the Northwestern train, this noon, and are now on their way to Nevada, where funeral services will be held tomorrow.
