MISS Talbert has been employed in the
Colby High school for the past two years
as teacher of the grammar department.
and very efficient teacher she was. as
pupils and patrons of the school will tes-
tify. I'm her departing from the realm of
singleness. the educational profession
loses one of its most ardent supporters
and promoters. About month ago
word was received that she had been
elected as teacher in the fifth grade of
the Lincoln schools at Topeka. Kansas,
and we wish to say to the directory of
the Lincoln schools. that no better choice
could have been made than that of Miss
Taibert as teacher of the department to
which she was elected OF the bride
groom We have only to say that he is q
most worthy young man, commanding
the respect of all our citizens. He was
among the first of the Colby boys, and is
q brother of our fellow townsman, F. C.
Finnerty; has always held high position
in business affairs, and is now connected
with the State Bank of Colby.
To the young couple We extend our
hearty congratulations, and wish them a
prosperous and pleasant journey on the
rugged sea of life. and that they may be
attended by all the pleasures and bless
ings of q welded life.

in the most patient manner, our below
ed sister, Ellen v Castor, wife of John
A. Castor, departed this life in the city
of Colby, on the Lord day, June 10th,

Sister Castor was born In Chester Co.,

and with her parents moved to Cham

she was married to John A. Castor, re-
naming in Ohio until the spring Of 1885,
when IN company with her beloved and
now mourning husband. she came to
Thomas county, Kansas, and settled op
. homestead in the southwest part Of the
county, where they have shared largely
in bearing the burdens and trials incl.
dent to pioneer life.
About i've weeks ago sister Castor wa

Three Men Narrowly Escape Death in
the Habershan Street Sewer.
Tie laying Of the Habsrsham street sewer
is proving rather difficult work Quick
sand was struck yesterday at depth of
about thirteen feet, where the sewer crosses
Duffy street. AID Supt. Fitzgerald has
found Unnecessary to ''street-pilen the ex-
cavation before the sewer pipe can be laid.
Three men were caught in the sand yes
terday morning, and before they could be
got out the banks cayed in and buried them.
A large force Of hands was in the excaya-
ton and the men were got out before they
were entirely covered. The sand UNDER
mined the banks as fast as tde earth could
be thrown out, and 1t was with some diff
Guilty that they were rescued. One of them
had to be carried TO his home. The other
two were not seriously hurt.
The "street-piling" process. which consists
in driving plaflks through tue sand along the
edges Of the excavation to prevent the earth
from caving, MAKES the work slow The
quicksand extends from Duffy street pretty
nearly TO Henry street, which is as far
south as tdeexcavation extends. and it may
reach further.
AT depth of twelve feet are springs of
water which I'll up the ex cavation as fast
as it is dug out, which have to be banked
up with clay and dirt SO that the sewer
plps can be put down. The sewer is
twenty-four-inch interior, and requires a
wide and deep excavation.
