Press Claims Companys offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only n
Stimulus to do something that would be- well
worth doing It, The architect whose com.
oetitive plan for club house on a certain

 In honor of her nearly all the officers and a large delegation of the members | of the society attended her funeral, and among the floral tributes heaped about the casket was one from the Mary Clap | Wooster chapter-a magnificent wreath of ivy, knotted with blue violets and white hyacinths-the society's colors. | The quartet which sang was composed of Miss Gaffney, Miss Hofer and MT. | Langdale and MT. Smith. The selec- tions sung were "Nearer My God to Thee" and Asleep in Jesus. The in- | terment was in the family lot in the Grove street cemetery. MT. Blair, an old friend of the family, and MT.

 cock, of Lewis & Maycocll, were the un-
 dertakers in charge.

DIED ON THE STREET
Sin6ularly SAD Fate Of William Morrow
Of Basin.
HIS THROAT CLOSED UP
The Body Was Found BY Two
Miners Returning From Work
Early Yesterday
Morning.
S THROAT CLOSED UP

BUTTE, Feb. 2.-Thomas kerwin and
Patrick Mcdonald, two miners returning
from work about 3 as this morning, dis
covered the body of a dead man in the
street near the corner of Galena and Mon
tana streets. The body was carried to
the pump house and DIR. McCrlminon
called. He declared that death had &C.
Cured. The body was still warm and
there we're no marks of violence and no
evidence of n struggle near the point
where the body was found.
The body proved TO be that of William
Morrow of Basin. Mr.. Morrow had for a
week or two been troubled with a curious
affection of the throat. The affection
was aggravated by Inflammation. The
physicians at Basin we're unable to do
anything to help Mr.. Morrow and yester-
day noon he was brought to Butte and
taken to the hospital of DIR. Weyerhorst.
Last evening Thomas Morrow, brother
of William, asked the physician whether
a nurse should stay with him over night,
but the doctor did not consider a nurse
necessary and the invalid expressed
preference to remain alone. The invalid
was smoking a pipe, which the doctor adj
vised him not to do, but he said it relieved
him. DIR. Weyerhorst made a flaXseed
poultice and tied it about his throat, leav-
ing him at / :45 o'clock this morning.
About an hour later he heard Morrow
coughing violently and that was the last
he heard.
Mr.. Morrow must have felt restless and
gone out to walk around. He had put on
his overcoat. hat and mttens. officer
King had noticed him walking and stag
gering "a little, thought he was drunk, and
after watching him for a moment walked
on.
The DOCTORS theory is that there was a
breaking of the abscess in the throat and
the pus choked Morrow. the coroner's
jury this afternoon brought in a verdict 10
this effect.
Mr.. Morrow was As years old and has
lived in Basin about ii years, being one
of the first miners and prospectors of that
rich mining section. He was formerly
owner of the Boulder Chief. lie leaves n
wife and four children. He was born in
Canada and about 20 years ago was one
of the mounted police, receiving an hon
orabie discharge. Mr.. Morrow was not n
drinking man and had not taken n drop
of any kind of liquor for more than year.
lie was undoubtedly staggering from
weakness instead of from liquor. He had
not seemed in any degree out of his head
the evening before and was quite cheerful
although distressed.
The funeral will probably be held in
Butte.
