Mrs. = E. Ward, an estimable lady of St.
Paul, Minnesota, who has been i'll at the Pa

died at that hOstelry yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Ward was suffering from cancer aud

the treatment Of noted physician of that
city, when she was suddenly taken worse
and too i'll to travel further. She was kindly
cared for during her painful illness, and her
husband who arrived about a week ago, was

rThe proposition to change the names of
most all the streets in the city will doubt

line of commencement about two miles
further north and change the numbers on
the principal streets running north and
south from hundreds to thousands. This
would have high-sOunding ring and likely
take well abroad. For an illustration
according to the proposed plan the HER
AIDS OGDEN BUREAU would be at 2473
Washington street 1t looks well on paper
