Died..

Tuesday morning at 7:l5 occurred the
death of Mrs. johanna NJ. Grafenstein,
at her residence on Main street east,
aged 81 years, II months and 4 days.
The funeral will occur Thursday after
noon at 2 o'clock with services at the
house, conducted by the Rev. G. II. Van
Vliet. Interment in Highland Home
cemetery.
The deceased was born in Horstey,
Germany, in 1871; emigrated to this
country and for ten years past has been
resident of this city. Her husband
died during the first year of the family's
residence here. Two daughters, Annie
and Emma, are left to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Tape, sister OF the deceased, arrived
about week ago from st. Louis, Mo-,
and together with the daughters was in
attendance at the last hours.
For sometime previous to her death
Mrs. Grafensteln had been subject to
heart trouble, although unknown to her
friends. The news of the failure OF the
Lloyds National bank, in which the
deceased had on deposit nearly or quite
$4,000, unnerved her and, as the daugh-
ters think, undoubtedly brought on the
stroke of paralysis from which she never
recovered. The sudden sweeping away
of the earnings of life time accumu-
lated by slow degrees, the process OF
hard work and the saving of years and
upon which she partially depended IN her
old age, so wrought upon her nerves as
to bring about her untimely death, her
life slowly ebbing away.
At $40 q. N. Wednesday Mrs. Ferrier
passed away, after weeks illness with
typhoid fever. A SOD, Charles, and two
daughters, Alice and Mrs. Millicent
Reed, all in this city, survive to mourn
her loss. It is expected that the funeral
will occur Friday afternoon from the
house. Friends in the east have been
telegraphed for and till they are heard
from the final arrangements can not be
definitely stated.
Mrs. Ferrier was born at Goodrich,
Ontario in January, 1859. For about
year and half past she has been pro-
prietress of the jamestown City Hospital
which, while new institution, has done
a good business nnder her management
md attantive care For ten wears past
Mrs. Ferrier has been resident of the
CITY. and her death will be a shock to
quite large circle of acquaintances and
friends.

James Johns, the Minneapolis elevator
man, who spent Tuesday in the city,
said to an Alert representative that
nothing had occurred to induce him to
change his views in regard to the prob
able price OF wheat. Three weeks ago he
advised farmers to hold their grain in
anticipation of rise, and while the mar
ket has not yet reached high figure, 1t
has been showing a steady advance. He

Died.

On Wednesday, May 10TH 1898, at the
home Of his parents in this city, George
Konrad, the thirteen year old son OF
Mr. and Mrs. Philip konrad.
The funeral service was conducted at
the NJ. +. Church, Thursday afternoon,
by Rev. ID. w. Tracy. 1t was largely
attended. the different departments of
the public schools being present in a
body.
The deceased had been quite serious
ly i'll with measles and on Tuesday
suffered relapse which was at first
supposed to be the cause Of his sudden
dea,h. However, the attending physi-
clan ascribes it to an injury which he
received last winter while skating. At
that time he fell. striking the back of
his head on the ice and was unconscious
for some time. Since then his head has
troubled him at times, and it is the
| opinion Of the physician that blood clo
| was formed at the base Of the brain anC
| that death was the inevitable result
The weak and exhausted condition in
which his sickness left him undoubtedly
FASTENED the end.
George was one Of Custer's best anc
brightest boys. He was an energeti,
little fellow, and young though he was
had already formed habits of industry
and faithfulness. He will be sadl,
missed, not only by the members of tn,
bereaved family, but by his playmate.
