DUST TO DIST.
Burial of G. ", Brown--Imposlng
Faneral Ceremonies.

hANAea
Several hundred people gathered at the
depot yesterday morning when the pas
senger train from the west arrived. IL.
A. Roy and Surveyor Miller alighted from
the train and assisted Mrs. Brown, the
widow Of the deceased man, who had ac-
companied them, and took their places in
n hack which was waiting. The remains
were taken from the baggage car, and
the casket being removed from the rough
box, was placed in the hearse and taken
to the residence. Long before . O'Clock
the Baptist church began to fill with peo-
MES. At 2 o'clock all the seats had been
filed, the aisles were blocked and the
lobby completely filled with people. Car
riages occupied the streets for blocks way.
which had brought their owners and
awaited the close of the ceremonies.
The services were conducted by the
Rev. Samuel j. Num-, pastor of the
church, assisted by the Rev. G. NJ. San
ders, of the Congregational church. The
choir for the occasion consisted of Miss
Minnie Gillian, Miss Florence Dana,
Mrs. Chas. Masten, Mrs. Marsh and Mrs.
DR.. Hunt, and Messrs. Hunt. Heath,
McCandlish and Prof. Geo. F.. Inman.
The pail bearers were Messrs. Luke
Voorhees,, T. B. Hicks, G. +. Miller, j.
w. Hammond, |. c. Whipple and A. G.
McGregor.
LAST SAD RITES.
The beautiful casket in which the re-
mains were enclosed was literally covered
with fragrant floral tributes, placed there
by sympathizing friends and neighbors.
Among the mourners, and near the casket,
sat Mrs. Brown, the widow of the deceas-
ed. The choir sang, I'VE Shall Meet
Beyond the Vale, Again" The Rev. S.
j. Num- read al appropriate portion of
scripture, which contained many thoughts
which were peculiarly appropriate for the
solemn occasion The choir then sang
with peculiar pathos and effect, ave
Shall Meet Beyond the River
Rev, S. j. Num- then proceeded to
make some extended remarks, which we're
touching, eloquent and affecting, taking
the words, 1T is not all of life to live,
nor all of death to die The speaker
said hat the great lesson to be learned
from the sad case before him, was that
while death is a matter of little conse-
quence, life is, and all men should so live
that when death comes it will be but the
passing from a life of care and perplexity
to an eternal rest. While he admonished
the mourning friends and relatives to rely
on n higher power for consolation in their
affection, he did not go to the extent
which is sometimes the case, of assuring
them that this death was a special vista
ton of Divine Providence for their benefit.
Mr.. Mum, in conclusion, read a carefully
prepared biographical sketch of the de-
ceased from which, however, nothing
new was learned in reference to the de-
ceased, except the date of his marriage,
which occurred in February. 1888, at Salt
Lake City to a lady named Weisman.
VIEWING H REMAINS.
Mrs. Charles Masten then sang, 'One
sweetly solemn thought comes to me DER
and DER" A touching prayer was then
offered by the Rev. c. NJ. Sanders. The

THE FAIR.
The Concluding Night of the congre-
g%atIoual Bazaar.


The Congregational church parlors
were again well crowded last evening, and
the last night OF the fair proved to be as
successful, from a financial standpoint, as
was that of the first night. The various
tables ahd stands were in charge of the
same ladies, with one or two exceptions,
as on the night before, and everything
was conducted in about the same order.
The refreshment tables, however, were
more literally ~patronized during the even
ing than at any time before during the
continuance of the fair.
The art gallery last night had a new
manager-Prof. Pitt Covert, assisted by
two handsome young ladies', Miss Kate
Davis and Miss Carrie Lefingwell, and,
consequently, that department of the fair
was more extensively patronized than on
the evening before.
At 9 O'Clock last evening the auction
began, c. n. Potter officiating as auc-
tioneer. Charles had no difficulty in Civ
ing the right nam to every article offered
for sale-and some of them were ladies'
wearing apparel, but it is not necessary
here to mention what Mr.. Potter said
they were. He made a very efficient
%auctioneer, and the great bulk of the ar
ticles left on hand were sold off before the
fair closed.
The entire proceeds of the fair, after
deducting expenses, will foot up to nearly,
if mo- quite, $500.

THE PUZZLE SOLVED.
A Lady Tumbled to the secret in
Minute.

In yesterday mornings LEADER APP
peared a little mathematical puzzle, to be
worked with cards from the ace to the
nine spot, and so arranged in three rows
of three cards each that the sum of the
spots in each row should be fifteen,
whether counted horizontally, vertically
or %disgonally. THE LEADER man worked
over the scheme until he gave up the job,
and wishing to get other people into the
scrape ran it into the local columns. 1t
was sweet revenge yesterday to observe
clerks in stores and other usually busy peo-
pie, working over the puzzle on the'sly.
Shortly after noon, however, the local
man found q card on his table bearing his
address and containing the following brief
information:
