Jack regrets to say that John Spyro,
familiarly known as "Cheap JOHN"
died at the residence of Geo. Miller, on
Thursday night. John was one of your
jolly, good fellows and departed this
life ia a strange land without home or
friends. Sorrowful indeed, but such
is life.
The entertainment held at this place
on Friday evening was an enj oyable as
well as profitable event. Some of the
pieces performed were simply imnaen Sc.
The house was crowded to its utmost

A Splendid Instrument.

The new organ recently received by
It. Pauls Episcopal church is by far
the finest instrument of the kind in
the city and only one remove from a
pipe organ. II is an "Esley" of the
grade known as Il chapel organ and
possesses vOlumn Of sound and a
sweetness Of tone that are evoked to
the best advantage by the skillful
handling Of Prof. Ross. Technically
described, the instrument has four sets
of reeds, one octave Of double bass,
thirteen stops, knee swell and grand
organ swell. The Bourbon stop has Il
sixteen foot pitch, two others eight
and four feet respectively, and the
Wald flute two and u half foot pitch.
IL is elegantly cased and an instru,
ment 10 be proud of, particularly when
it is considered that il was bought and
paid for 10y the Ladies Guild enter
tainments. Up 10 the present time
the church has been indebted TO the
Misses Graham for the use of an in.
strument belonging to them.

An anniversary and some Subsequent
Happenings.
Tuesday was the first anniversary Of
the marriage of our friends Prof. aud
Mrs. Logan, and in the evening the
Arion quartette mustered their forces
and accompanied by number Of
friends paid the Professor and his
wife visit. Approaching the resi-
dence stealthily as il on burglary in
tent, they secured IA favorable position
aud proceeded to discourse their sweet
est music. At the conclusion of the
first piece, the door was opened and
the recipients Of the ovation cordially
invited those present to come in and
partake of toothsOme and generous
repnst that was spread and inviting
attack. This being quite as much in
their line as sereuading, was cordially
aCceded TO, and for an hour the invOl-
untary hosts aud their unlimited
guests had merry time. After a
goodnight song, the songsters took
their departure. Homeward bound
they stopped Ell route to air their har-
mony before Col. Webster's house,
and surprised that gentleman and his
estimable wife in slumber most pro-
found, but as the sweet strains stole
gently DER him, the Colonel reused
himself and sought 10 strike light.
The matches, however, were af kind
that only light 10y friction on that
article Of male wearing apparel that is
the insignia of supremacy in tile
household, and as the Colonel's only
article of clothing then in use was a
decidedly abbreviated garment, he was
forced to go without light. Submit
ting to this defeat he CROPPED his way
to the commissary department where
his hospitable soul was wrenched with
the discovery that the only moist
thing in the house was ice water.
Knowing the ignorance of the Arions
and their friends in regard to this
tipple he forbore surprising them, and
reluctantly allowed them to depar, as
they came. Once more on the road
home was halt made and harmony
evolved, this time at residence
where dwelt two souls with but Q
single thought aud two hearts thai
beat as about half dozen when they
heard the mob approaching. Outside
the serenaders ranged along the fence
throwing out a line Of skirmisher,
who under cover Of the music
sought to gain, through the interstIee'
of the shutters, a knowledge of whC
was inside; within, the occupants
resolute but apprehensive, slowly re
treated from parlor to dining room
from dining room to kitchen, anC
from kitchen to shed, realizing thai
while music may soothe the savage
breast, there are times and places
when and where 1t is, to say the leas
inappropriate. Being advised by the
skirmlshers, Of the gradual retreat
and fearing a desperate sortie i
further pressed, the Arions withdrew
well pleased with the events OF tn,

On the North SIDE.

\ trip to Sunday creek was made
yesterday morning by Mr.. w. ;
Beamer, the well known agent of
Hunter & Evans. He desired to see
how the roundup parties were work
ing on the north aud rather expected
10 find them near here on the Sunday.
The boys had been delayed by the re.
cent storms, however, and he only
found lunches scattered along moving
toward a point four miles from Mile,
City where they camped last night
Mr.. Beamer stated that he could Sc.
that the work up north is not easy
that there are a good many ravine:
for the boys TO search through and
that after an extended experience in
No Mans land, and all through the
neutral trip Of the southern range dis
trict he can say that there are worse
places to roundup than the north
Yellowstone. He remembers that this
is, we may say. the first roundup in
that district and that the boys have
been greatly Inconvenience by the
stormy weather.

Human incarceration.

The preliminary steps toward the or
ganization of a society for cremation were
taken by number of citizens of Daven>
port last Wednesday, and another meet
ing has been called for tomorrow even
ing, when statutes and by laws will be
submitted, officers chosen, and arangcN
ments made with view to carrying out
the ideas of the members in favor of
burning the bodies of the dead, and pre-
serving the ashes of loved ones in urns
or otherwise. Those who have thus far
signifed an intention of joining the So
ciety are nearly all Germans Ii seems
probable that enough persons will be
found in Davenport who think burning
the best mode Of disposins of their dead
to warrant the erection of a crematory,
OF which there are very few in existence.
The practice seems to he growing, and it
is thought that another year will not have
passed before a number of crematories
are established in the United States
