But she was still on deck. She has
been arrested a dozen times or more, but
50 long as she can obtain all the opium
and snuff she wants, she doesn't seem to
care whether she is in jail or occupying
some low dive. Her name is Ella Carter,
and she has become a familiar figure in
the police courts. Justice Lee fined her

that he wa sorry. In consideration o fthe

4 SUDDEN Death.
Iohn Jenkins is Stricken With
Typhoid Pneumonia.
He Dies Unexpectedly at a O'clock
Yesterday Morning.
Services To-Day Prior to Sending
the Remains East.

John jenkins, ofthe firm of Jenkins
Brothers, the photographers, and a clerk
in the Union Pacific freight Office, died
suddenly at half past a O'Clock yesterday
morning.
He had not been well for about a week
and was suffering with a severe cold, but
attended to his duties until last Tues
day, when he became worse. 1t soon be-
came evident that asevere case of typhoid
pneumonia had been developed, but even
to the hour of his death hope of his re-
covery had not been abandoned. He had
a room at the freight office, but upon the
development of his sickness he was remov-
ed to Ms. Ryan's at the first house west of
the court house, where every kindness
and attention was shown him and where
he was nursed by loving hands.
Telegraphic tidings of the death have
been sent to VIII jenkins, brother Of the
deceased, who is now in Chicago. No
answer has yet been received, but it has
been decided to send the remains east to-
day in care of Frank Jenkins. The body
will probably be inferred at hartford,
Wis, the former home Of the deceased.
The railroad men have charge Of the re-
mains and will make all preparations for
sending the body east.
The deceased was 2S years old and was
unmarried He was ola retiring dispo-
sition- but possessed endearing qualities
of heart and mind He had the respect
and esteem Of all who knew him and his
sad death is deeply mourned by his
friends.
Services will be held at Mrs. Ryan's at
9 O'Clock this morning. conducted by Rev.
G. O. Rafter, when friends ofthe deceased
arc invited to be present. After the SER
vices the remains will be sent east on the
morning train.

The storm that began Saturday night
continued nearly all day. Little snow fell
Sunday but a strong wind blew it into
drifts and hurled it in binding masses in
every direction. Sunday night was prob
ably the most disagreeable night of the
season.
The clouds obscured the sun all day
yesterday, but otherwise the day was not
unpleasant As night approached the
thermometers were actively engaged in
recording a descending temperature. At
half past 7 o'clock last evening a street
rumor placed the mercury at 1eo below
zero. AT ii O'Clock it st6od at l2o below,
and at O'Clock this morning it was about
10' below. AT that hour the clouds had
disappeared; the stars shone brightly and
the smoke from the chimncys driffed
lazily away to the westward.
The storm is about the most severe one
of the winter, but under the existing con-
ditions Of the cattle and the ranges it will
not be liable to cause any serious losses
among live stock. The snow is about
four inches deep on the level.

The speaker uas the senior proprietor
Of a leading grocery store. The question
was asked of one of the employees and
was caused by the disappearance of the
collector, who had left the store in the
morning and who, at 4 O'Clock in the af-
t%ernoon, had not returned The clerk
did not know what detained the young
man with the bills and the cash.

l%istlesa air and sat down with a Tm-worked-
death style.
What the matter now Where you'v

Zone question at time" answered the
overworked collector. Question one;
nothing's the matter. Question two;
