In Chicago, one night last week.
nicely-dressed man was caught In the
act OF attempting to pass counterfeit
money, and was taken TO the police sta
tion. When drawn up before court tho
next morning, he seemed instantly to.
awaken an interest In tho judge, for he
was indeed fine-looking fellow with a

pressiveness.
"what is your names" the judge
asked. rF
II am Leroy wallraven," he replied.
When the officers that had made the
arrest were examined, the Judge turned
to Leroy Waiiraven and said: ~ am sor-
ry for you. 1t does not require much OF
an effort to sit in judgment upon the
misdeeds of a man whose appearance
bespeaks hard life, but 1t requires an
uncomfortable exercise OF nerve TO pass
sentence upon mere youth that bears
the aspect Of gentle training"
Judge" the prisoner spoke up.
''please do not exercise your nerve to
an uncomfortable extent on my account.

all responsibility In this matter-in
short, you may discharge me-"

Funeral of Rev. VIM. pfnefse.

The southbound Santa Fe train
on which the remains of Rev. VIM.
Pfaeffie arrived on last Saturday
night was over two hours
late. They were accompanied by
the widow of the deceased and her
three sons, William, Edward and
George. The two latter joined the
funeral car at Fort Worth. The re-
mains were transferred from the
train to the hearse and were borne
to the German Methodist church.
On Sunday morning it was found
that in handling the casket leak
had been sprung and the embalming
fluid was dripping on the floor. The
casket had to be removed to the
round house at the entrance to the
city cemetery, where the remains
were kept until the hour of inter
ment. At 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing the funeral sermon was preach
ed at the church by Prof. Urbahnke
to crowded house. In the after
noon at 5 o'clock the funeral took
place. 1t was intended that the
services attending the burial obse-
quies should take place at the grave,
but owing to the unpleasant odor
from the casket rendering it i'm
practable, and owing to the threat
ening weather, they were held at
the church. Rev. Mr.. Dietz, of
Perry, Falls county, gave an sketch
of the life of the deceased, and he
was followed by Rev. DR.. J. L.
Lloyd, pastor of the First Baptist
church, in a few remarks paying an
eloquent tribute to the character of
Rev. VIM. Pfaefie. The cortege
headed by the empty hearse then
moved out to the cemetery. The
remains were put into the hearse at
the round house and borne to the
grave, where they were consigned to
their last resting place. All during
the obsequies at the church and the
grave the elements looked angry
and threatening, and as the casket
was being lowered to the grave
quick flashes OF lightning leaped
across the skies in forbidding man
ner. 1t was to have been hoped
that after such a horroble and sud
den fate the sun would at least
shine clear, but it was sad closing
Of sad picture. The funeral was
largely attended, but would have
been still much more largely attend
ed if it had not have been for the
elements.

A Miraculous Escane.

Mr.. Otto Herring, who resides
three miles from Nelscnville, was in
the city on Monday and related the
circumstances of an almost miracu-
lous escape by his little one-year-old
baby the other day. The child was
in an upper-story room playing with
its grandmother, who placed it in
the window sill. The blinds were
drawn together but were not fas-
tened. The little fellow pressed
against them with his palms, they
receded and the child lost its bal
ance. The grandmother's attention
was averted at the moment and be-
fore she could rescue it the infant
fell below to the ground, a distance
of several feet. But instead of its
brains being instantly dashed out,
as was thought would be the most
probable result, the child arose to
its feet and toddled off without the
slightest limp in its gait and began
playing as if nothing had happened
to it.

A Social Gathering.

The reception given on Thursday
evening by Miss Nellie Garrett at

ern portion of the city was attended
by some twelve or fifteen young peo-
pie. The principal feature of the
evening was guessing the author of
quotations which were written upon
a small slip of paper and placed on
a plate and passed to each guest.
The quotation Before you could
say Jack Robertson" fell into the
hands of the BANNERS society young
man and he replied that the author
was Texas Slftings." Of courseEt

were thrown into a perfect gale of
laughter, occasioned by this reply.
This feature of the entertainment
being ended, Mr.. Harry Swearingen
was awarded the first prize for hav.
ing answered correctly the greatest
number of quotations. Miss Hettie
Harrison, Miss Eula Gee and Mr..

for the first prize. At about eleven
o'clock the guests were invited in to
refreshments, after which some of
the popular songs were sung and
the crowd dispersed, The follow
ing is list of those present: P.

Fun at the QUARRY.

1t was reported on the streets
on Sunday that there had been
another man killed at the quarry
just above Gay Hill the night be-
fore. The reporter of the BANNER
investigated the rumor and learned
that it was false. Gus Schumacher,
the new constable of Gay Hill pre-
cinct, who was in the city on Mon,
day, did not know anything about
1t. He reported little occurrence,
however, which probably furnished
the groundwork of the reported
killing. He says that on Saturday
one of the men employed at the
quarry amused himself on entering
the dining-room at Schwecke S
clearinghouse by shooting one of
the plates off the table. A piece of
the plate struck one of the men at
the table in the side and cut a cash
in him. The wound was not seri-
GUS. Neither the name of the
shooter nor of the party who was
hurt was learned.
There is another report that all of
the clearinghouse gang went on a
strike because the clearinghouse
fare was not good enough to suit
them and invaded the dining hall
and smashed the dishes. A drunken
railroad hand known as "Scotty, "
who came into town Monday and
was lodged in the calaboose. re
ported that all of the white hands 1t
the quarry had been cashiered.

help came, but he finally managed
