Laid mt Rest.

The sad word spread about the city
Friday morning. that Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Kenerson's little daughter,
Marian Adell, had died that morn.
ing. The little girl had been i'll
several days with pleurisy. And in
fact was given up by physicians be-
fore Mr.. Kenerson called DR.. Quick,
who at once said there was bare
chance to save the child, provided her
strength held out. by Monday be-
fore she died, Adell breatled per-
fectly natural and continued thus to
breathe to the end-,and died from
exhaustion-or failure of the heart.
1t had been very difficult to get the
little girl to take nourishment and in
fact it was very little she did take,
but notwithstanding this fact. the
doctor had strong hopes of pulling
her through. The doctor saw the
little patient ut IL o'clock Thursday
night ard thought she was doing
we'll. The nurses aroused Mr.. Ken
erson at 2 o'clock to look at Adell
and they concluded then that she was
all right. At 4 o'clock they aroused
him again, and he went leisurely for
the doctor, thinking there was really
no danger, but before he returned or
the doctor got there, the spirit of the
patient little sufferer departed, for
ever. Marian was six years, i've
months and eighteen days of age.
The funeral was preached at the Con
gregational church, Sunday after
noon by the Rev. j. NJ. LaBach, and
the remains were laid ut rest in the
Wild Rice cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenerson have the
sympathy Of their hosts Of friends IN
this sore ALLEGATION.

Charles Damerel--The circus is
here to-day and has brought, pro
badly, five thousand families or frac
tions thereof. The street parade
presented by Ringling Brothers was
the most magnificent I ever saw, and
what struck me while, looking over
the vast crowd which filled oul
streets was, the neat, well dressed

NELSON'S ONCE AGAIN

A month had passed-a month of long,
happy days and such dear delight as
young people who truly love each other
can get out of q honeymoon spent under
the. most favorable circumstances in the
sweetest, sunniest spots of the Channel
Islands. And now the curtain draws uD
for the last time in this history. where it
drew up for the first, in the inner Office
of Nelson's huge establishment.
During the last fortnight certain com
munications had passed between Mr..
John Short, being duly authorized
thereto, and the legal representatives of
Messrs. Addison & Roscoe, with the re.
suit that the interests of these gentlemen
in the great publishing house had been
bought up, and that Eustace Meeson was
now the sole owner of the vast concern,
which he intended to take under his Der
sonal supervision.
Now, accompanied by John Short, whom
he had appointed to the post Of solicitor
both of his business and private affairs
and by Augusta, he was engaged in form
ally taking over the keys from the head
manager, who was known throughout the
establishment as No. l.
Il wish to refer to the authors agree
ments of the early part of last year, said
Eustace.
