Death Of VIM. B. westman.

|
Itbecomes our sad duty this week
to record the death of William B
Westman. For the past two o,
three weeks he has been suffering
from what was believed to be asth.
matte attacks, but in reality was
rheumatism of the heart. These
attacks were of varying severity
but until Saturday OF last week his
friends entertained little fears of his
ultimate recovery. Up to that time
he was able to be out, and on Sat-
urday last he visited the KEYSTONE
office. On Monday morning word
came to us that he had been taken
suddenly worse and upon inquiry
we learned that his condition was
we'll nigh hopeless. DR.. Brown of
HALEY was called, and later, DR..
Higgins, and everything that kind
friends, medical skill and devoted
wife could suggest for his relief, was
done, but, it availed nothing. In
spite of the ceaseless efforts and
kind nursing of the many friends
of the family the disease continued
to increase in severity until about
6 o'clock on Thursday morning,
when he died. Deceased was ma
tive of GAINESVILLE, Tennessee, and
was about 80 years old at the time
Of his death. He had at one time
in his life lived at Macomb, Illinois,
was among the pioneers of the
Wood River country, and had been
for a number of years resident of
ketchum, where he was married,
and where his genial disposition,
kindly nature and steadfast integ-
rity had endeared him to all who
made his acquaintance. His death
leaves void in the community,
and his pleasant greetings will be
missed by all. But the terrible blow
of his sudden death will fall heav-
lest on his poor wife. Their lives
together were happy as those of
little children. After a heightened
season of adversely, they had begun
to prosper, and hope renewed pic
tured for them future roseate with
every domestic joy. But the sud-
den death Of the husband has shat
tered the picture and left the heart
of the loving and devoted wife des-
olate indeed, but not friendless.
Words of encouragement and the
sympathy of every generous heart
in the community will be freely
given to her, and she deserves it all
and more. The funeral took place
Yesterday at l o'clock P. NJ. from the
Union Church, under the auspices
of the Society of Knights of Pythias
and of the Ketchum Fire Company,
of which he was a highly respected
member; and the remains were ac-
companied to their place Of final
rest by a large concourse of sorrow
ing trends. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. George Richie,
and at it's conclusion Mr.. Fred. K.
Gillette, with whom deceased had
long been intimately associated as
an assistant in his business, came
forward and delivered an address
commendatory of the good quail
ties and high integrity of departed.
1t was well-conceived tribute, and
did credit to its author.
Strength for the living; peace to
the dead

What Can Be DOnep

Another sale of mines is in con.
temptation, and the chances are
more than favorable that it will be
an accomplished fact before another
issue of the KEYSTONE goes to the
world. Should it be made it will
interest men of large capital in one
of our best groups of mines, and
give US assurance such as we have
not yet had, that mining will be
entered upon in the spring with re-
newed vigor and energy, and let US
hope, by men of enterprise as we'll.
There are even now, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorableness of the
season, considerable quantities of
ore shipped from here every week
for reduction at Omaha. Mining
and development work is proceed
ing on a large number Of claims
hereabouts. By the time spring
opens these claims will all have
more or less ore on their dumps,
awaiting treatment. Were there a
smelter here ready to work this ore
at even approximately reasonable
rates, or probability of there being
one within d few months, it would
not be shipped, because the shipper
would find it more profitable to
have his ore worked at home than to
ship it abroad. But it would not
only benefit the shipper the bust
ness man and the community would
share with him in an equal if not
greater degree the benefits of having
our ores which are now shipped
abroad reduced at home as they
should be. The money now paid
out to railroad companies for trans
portation would then be put into
circulation at home; prospectors,
miners and capitalists would be in
duced to come here; new mines
would be discovered, more mines
would be opened, further invest
ments would be made, the quantity
of ores mined would be many times
doubled, and in a twelve month
Ketchum would be what her many
natural advantages fit her to be-
the leading mining town in Idaho.
But this can only be brought about
by an effort on the part of our own
people. Outsiders are not inter
ested in the matter, and will not be
until accomplished facts have dem
onstrated to them that there is
profit to be made by investments
in our mines. Nor is this place an
exception to any other in that re-
spect, profit is the sole instigator
to enterprise, in this as in every
other country. Every natural ad-
vantage is here for successful min
ing and reduction operations: fuel,
huxes, water, mines, with little or
nothing except coke to import, and
by combined effort reduction
works can be gotten and operated
successfully. Moreover, they can be
operated with decent mems labor
instead Of dago labor, and will pay
a handsome profit over and above
interest on Investments, cost of re-
pairs and white labor wages.

GOOD TlDINGS' DAY.
A Pleasing Anniversary at the Methodist
Episcopal Church.

A Pleasing Anniversary at the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
This anniversary, the autumnal sister of
Childrens day, aud which is a compare
lively recently designated celebration
in the Meth odist Episcopal church was
observed on Sunday last at the NJ. E.
church in this town. In the morning
sermon appropriate to the occasion was
preached by the Rev. Chas. Hill pastor
of the church, the singing of special
hymns by the choir and the children of
the Sunday school led by Mr.. Henry Vim
singer constituting the service. The
exercises in the evening were varied and
interesting, embracing responsive read
ings by the school and an address by
William j. Jones, ESq. The service
opened with a chorus by the school,
followed by prayer by Mr.. John Perkins
After another chorus and responsive
reading Of the Goth Psalm, Mrs. Thomas
II. Lort rendered very pleasingly the solo
ITO the Land without Storm After
the singing of Music and Love" by the
school, Mr.. Jones very appropriately ex-
planned the meaning of the anniversary,
as indicated by the autumnal season, the
fruition of the seasons hopes and Abors,
as contrasted with the June or vernal
anniversary of the children, which mark
ed its beginning in buds AMI opening
flowers. In seeking theme for a short
talk to the children he had accidentally
as he was not particularly a believer in
special providences fallen upon the story
of Laura BridgemAn as told by Charles
Dickens in his "AmericaneNotes," and
whose life was memorable 4ebuttal of
that despairing negation, 81 CAN'T" Mr..
Jones put forcibly before his audience
the lesson of the remarkable attainments
of this afflicted girl. After a chorus by
the school, Mr.. Viusinger asked the audi
ence for a donation to the Sunday school
fund, which we have since learned was
not as large as hoped for. After quar-
tette by Mrs. Eva Harvey, Miss Anne
and a we'll rendered solo by Miss Annie
Person, a chorus by the school, with the
benedction closed the exercises.
The altar within the chancel rail was
handsomely decorated with flowers,
plants, ETC., and the exercises throughout
were very pleasing, the singing as usual
being feature of the evening, and to
which Miss Lille Alexander's organ ac-
compartments and Mr.. John NJ. Dunbar's
silver voiced cornet contributed no little.
We must not overlook the fact that
Harry Lee, Harry Alexander, Joseph H.
Sloan and Winfield Lewis helped people
politely to seats, and Clarence Perkins
and Harry Alrich distributed choral
hymns.
