ing concerning it:
The greatest danger point in the city
is at the Brady street crossing on Fifth.
Several violent deaths have been brought
about there. Many time has the ques-

She was q remarkably sweet and bright
girl. beloved by her schoolmates. teachers
and q general fayorite with all. For
the past five years she held the
position OF stenographer at the Argillo
works. Her duties were performed

From worldly point of view it is sad
to see young lady cut down in the prime
of life with the most brilliant prospects
before her. Her friends view the rem ain s
and gaze upon that which is about to re-
turn to its mother earth, with sorrow.
Her relatives stand over the newly made
grave, and see lowered to its final resting
place the remains of her they loved SO
well; and their hearts feel the keenest
anguish that one upon the Threshold of
womanhood must die. Yet we do
not stand and gaze down into
the grave, for the coffin contains
only that of which is written. dust thou
art and unto dust thou shalt return. &"
Yet, it is gain to die young. for only
the good are es:ly called.
Tuesday morning her remains were
taken to Sheffield followed by a large

she was organist, accompanied the re-

Then he stopped as his eyes fell upon
the other occupant of the room. She
was petite, blonde, and had dimpling

Sometimes love takes years to spring
into existence. but John Warner, the

him to this dainty girl his heart bobbed,

glances from the most bewitching pair

The days that followed were filed
