All day the remains OF Miss LulI
Holmes have been lying In PLAIN bui
very neat and attractive easket in the
front room ct Mrs. Roberts on the cornei
of Market street and Eighth avenue. Or
a SILVER plate on the coffin lid is neatly
inscribed the name "Lulu," by winch
she was always addressed by those with
whom she was intimately acquainted
She was dressed in white, the suit being
the one she wore two years ago when shs
graduated. In front reaching from the
left shoulder to the waist was beautiful
wreath of pure white flowers, while heI
hands which were thin and almost az
white as the flowers in which they
nestled, lay folded on her body.
At few minutes before 2 80 the pail
bearers. composed Of the gentlemen
members of the faculty, carried the re.
mains to the Congregational church,
then followed her mother and
sister, two brothers. and those who have
been residing with her. The services
were short, ana were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. ingalls, and Rev. HendY. The choir
sang several songs, all of which were
favorites OF the deceased. One, "Blest
be the tie that binds" was one that they
often sang in the family where Miss
Holmes boarded, and which she often
said that they should sing at her funeral
Rev. Mr.. ingalls, spoke few minutes,
and his words were full Of comfort. he
referred to death as the brother of sleep
He said that the life Of the de.
ceased had been complete in It
self and that she had only died
TO wake in that better land where there
Is no disease nor trouble. He was
followed by Pres. Taylor IN q
few we'll chosen and touching words
After the services an opportunity to view
the remains was given and many friends
took parting look and dropped tear
over the remains of one universally
loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. The procession, which was very
long, was composed of large number
of carriages and the Normal students in
body.
The lot purchased tor the remains in
the cemetery is beautiful one with a
central location. The exercises were
very solemn, and when the cold earth
had been placed over the remains the
friends strewed the lot and covered the
earth with arbor Vita and white roses.

FARGO SPRINGS.

The engineer who has been surveying
and laying of the streets and avenues of
the future great" and business center of
Seward county. last week sent in his re
port in the shape of large and very
neat plat of the city. The city is situst-
ed Just north of the Cimarron river, and
the streets running north and south ex::
tend to the river bank. Just st the end
of several of these streets are large
springs which send forth streams of pure
clear water. These streets are named
after citizens of Emporia, and on the
plat we noticed Sisler, Filkins and East
man avenues. The streets are named
after some of the principal streets in EN-
porla and the business lots mostly face
Merchants street. On the map, Fargo
Springs as represented by the engineer,
is very fine thriving city which might
be easily mistaken for the plat OF a city
of 10000 or 1900 inhabitants. We trust
that Sisler, Filkins and Eastman aven
ues may soon be adorned with elegant
and commodlous residences.
