supplemented by sales of local traders, re

Card of Thanks.

To the people of Hot Springs:
Allow us through these columns to
express the feelings of highest graft
tude towards you for the noble and
Christian sympathy and help to us
through the hours of deepest and dark
est sorrow ever befallen us, in the
sickness and death of our dear beloved
Anna. We came among you but a
short time ago and unknown to the
most of you, but you came to us and
treated us as the warmest of friends.
You have shown us the highest degree
of friendship and sympathy and let us
say that we cannot find words to ex-
press our feelings and thanks to you
as you deserve. But we wish and hope
that we may live and be among you
that we may show ourselves worthy to
be called your friends. May the High
Supreme ruler bestow upon you what
we are unable to do, 1.-THE Highest
Blessing of Life" And last but not
least, let us tender our sincerest thanks
to the kind friends who SO beautifully
decorated the last resting place at our
beloved Anna.

PETERSON--On Sunday. Novemher 25th. at T:3O
pm, Anna, daughter ii Mr. and Mrs. William
Peterson of this city, passed from this life,
aged ~ years and months.
The "King of Shadows loves shining
mark" is no more aptly illustrated than
in the death of the bright and beauti-
full young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
: G. A. Peterson of this city. The young
lady was in her twenty first year, and
when the family moved to this city she
remained in Grand Island to pursue
her studies and would have graduated
next summer. She was sick only eight
days and when her brother, Victor,
went to see her IL few days ago he found
her in very critical condition, suffer-
ing from volvulus, or a twisting of the
bowels, causing an obstruction. This,
her physician at that place didn't seem
to know, and though very low, Mr..
Peterson determined to bring her
home. At Alliance, DIR. Bellwood sur
geon of the B. II M. relief department.,
got on the train and came with them.
but the death coma shortly after set in
and she was unconscious from that
time. Drs. Adams and Hargens were
called i'll consultation and worked
faithfully all day but could not revive
her from the shock. At last it was
determined to resort to laparotomy.
hoping that she might return to CON
sciousness after the operation
had taken place. The operation was
successfully performed, but the spark
of life had so nearly gone that she did
not revive. No anesthetic wasadminis.
tered as the lady was not conscious
1t is a most distressing and pitiful
death as the young lady was just in
the bloom of womanhood, with all the
bright hopes of life full upon her, and
her sad and sudden death at this time
has almost crazed her aged parents
with grief that cannot he assuaged, as
this is the sixth child they have buried
Her sister. Mrs. Christensen. and child
rem came in from Newcastle this morn
ing too late to see her alive.
The funeral took place Tuesda,
at . o'clock, from the family residence
The STAR with a host of other sym
pathetic friends, tenders it's sincere
coincidence to the bereaved ones il
this hour of their great atiliction.

Foot Ball.

The game between the high school
and college second teams was not
played Wednesday as announced be-
cause the college boys refused to play.
The high school team appeared on
time and fully expected to play game
on equal terms. So far they have each
time played against superior team
with the understanding that after a
series of practice games, which was
each time q college team against high
school team, there would be one or
more games between the high school
and academic boys, or, if their academ-
les were too weak, the freshmen and
sophomore classes would be admitted.
The high school boys stand prepared
to give them the advantage in age and
weight to unreasonable extent and are
ready to hear from them at any time.

A christmas woman's magazine.

The sparkle of bright music, in a new
ballad by Sir Arthur, Sullivan, entitled
IBID Me at Least Goodbye" adds
much to the pages of the Christmas
Ladies' Home journal, in which the
full piano score and words are given.
Frank Stockton opens one of his
cleverest tales with an equally clever
title "As One Women to Another;'
Eugene Field is particularly happy in
a striking bit of character verse, to
which whole page with illustrations
is we'll given; Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett is delightfully."- reminiscent in
telling of 1.-THE Man Who Most Infiu-
enced Me, ,".who, she says, was an enemy
of hers. The new serial, "a Minister
of the World" takes us to the border
of fashionable religious life in New
York City;and in addition to all this
there are not less than twenty articles
on the practicle side of a woman's life
at Christmas time. This is indeed a
creditable number of the Ladies' Home
Journal-the best, in fact, which it has
ever issued. It is not surprising when
one looks over such magazine as this
why it is that over 100000 women buy
it each month, particularly when they
can get it for ten cents a copy. The
subscription price of the Ladies' Home
Journal is one dollar per year. Pub
lished by tne Curtis Publishing Com
pany, of Philadelphia.

Circuit Court.

We are informed by one of our
prominent attorneys that there will
probably be between 80 and 80 civil
cases on the docket, including several
important equity cases, and of course
no one knows what the grand jury will
bring forth in the criminal line. The
next important civil case is the fore
closure of the mortgage against the
Catholicon. The mortgage was origin
ally made to the Vermont Investment
company, but was assigned in blocks
to Fred Evans, Edward L. Hungerford,
the Howard National bank of Burling-
ton and Lucretia G. Wright, who now
appear to claim their respective rights.
Though the matter is somewhat COM
plicated the several mortgages will
appear to claim their respective rights
as they may appear and it will all be
tried as one case.
