FUNERAL OF MRS. ASPLING.

The Dust of One Who was Universally Be
loved and Respected Laid to Rest.
The funeral services in memory of
Mrs. Thomas Aspling last Friday were
very largely attended and under the
charge of Reverends A. B. Martin, Adam
Johnston and i. j. Groeneveld were
deeply and solemnly impressive Never
were more elaborate and beautiful floral
offerings seen in this city, and the church
was very bower Of yerdure in which
were blended the brilliant hues of flow
ers, the golden glories of ripened sheaves
and the delicate tints of autumn leaves.
At 2 o'clock the casket was borne from
the house to the church, preceded by the
members of the youthful Sunday school
class Of the deceased, more than 30 in
number, and followed by the immediate
relatives of the dead. The casket was
placed at the head of the center aisle di-
rectly beneath the altar. It was sur
rounded by the most exquisite floral
pieces and was literally buried beneath
wreaths, crosses and other emblems
Among the most elaborate and beautiful
of these was sheaf Of wheat bound with
autumn leaves, presented by Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Walton. Surrounding the casket
was large design in sheaves, leaves and
flowers, prepared by Mrs. Capt. J. II.
Mills, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry McPher-
son and Mrs. Peter Walton. Mrs. Sharp
of Butte and Mrs. Conrad Kohrs also fur
nished many beautiful roses.
President Martin opened the services
with prayer and few brief words, Mr..

BOLD BURGLARY,
"A Thief Breaks Through and Steals ut All
Early Hour Wednesday Night.

"A Ih1ef Breaks Through and Steals at an
Early Hour Wednesday Night.
Considerable excitement was caused
here on Wednesday night about o'clock
by successful burglary of the store of
Smurr u Beaumont, followed by an at
tempt to rob that of G. D. Kenyon. The
thief first effected an entrance to the
shop of Smurr & Beaumont by prying
open a window in the back end, He
broke open the money drawer, but Sc
cured only small amount Of nickels and
dimes. He next forced his way into
kenyon's from rear window and was in
the act of helping himself to the contents
OF the drawer when he was seen by John
Smurr, who had in the meantime discov-
cred the robbery in his own place,
Mr. Smurrat once gave the alarm when
the thief boldly dashed through one of
the front windows and started off towards
the north end of town, running through
the alley back Of Bonner's and thence
through the Higgins corral, where,
though several citizens were in close pur-
suit, he made his escape. Thorough
search was made during the night which
was continued the next day, but without
avail. Word was sent in several direc-
tions and officers went to Garrison and
other points, but as the man was not seen
closely enough to identify him, it is not
probable he will be found The amount
stolen from Kenyon's was small.

BRYAN'S CHANGES.


1oth tIcTasue Returns from the East and
Sizes Up the Situation
Iom McIague returned on Monday
from the prison congress which assem-
oled at Milwaukee last week In speak
ing of his trip Mr.. McTague says:
1.-The prison congress fails to meet nv
views in the character of much of it's
work and personality There is no OBJ
Jectlon to the principle Of reform which
1t undertakes to farther, but too many
lsms and too much fanaticism have be-
come mixed up with it. There is an ele-
ment who seem to only desire to carry
out their peculiar views against all op-
position. | presented a paper on the
Montana prison and the successful char
acter of our system which will appear in
the regular report of the congress soon
to be issued"
Mr., McTague states that while the
banking, professional and commercial
classes are openly for gold, the great la
boring masses are going to quietly give

be the case at Milwaukee, and also at
Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis, all of
which places he visited.
"ln st. Paul you see only the McKin
ley colors displayed,' said he, "and to a
less extent at Minneapolis; but there is a
strong opposing under-current among the
people that will make itself felt when
election time comes, though little is
openly said for Bryan and silver. In
Milwaukee there has been but one dem
onstration by the democrats and that was
on the occasion Of Bryan's visit. The la
boring people are keeping quiet, but are
saving wood. It is my opinion that
Bryan will be elected. Prominent re-
publicans in Milwaukee admit that they
have hard fight"

TO BE CONCLUDED.


The Chinese of this city universally
speak of Ii Hung Chang in terms of the
deepest contempt and loathing, applying
to him some very severe epithets. They
say he went over the Canadian Pacific
simply because he was afraid to go
through the United States. Some of them
say he sold his country out to the Japa-
nese and others that he has robbed his
people. 1t looks as though they gener-
ally believe that he has tried to usurp
the power Of the throne and that he has
grown rich at the expense of his country.
1t is the farther testimony Of the Chi
nese living here that Chang has incurred
the hostility of the Six Companies and
that they would not shed many tears over
his remains if they were to be finally
stored in the coffin which he brought
over with him for use in case of emer-

DEATH OF sTERRETT HIGGINS.
Another Old-Timer Of Deer Lodge Called
to His Final Rest

to His Final Rest.
Deer Lodge has had its share Of sad
ness during the past few weeks and
again these columns are called upon to
chronicle the passing away Of one who
was familiar figure upon our streets for
Well-nigh third of a century, but one
who was still only well upon the thresh-
old Of mature manhood None may
know when the dread messenger com
meth and it is a truth as old as the world
itself that Gin the midst Of life we are in
death" Like winged shaft came the
summons which called away to it's final
rest the spirit of Sterrett Higgins, but it
was wish he had often expressed to his
friends that it might be so and that there
should be no long agony of looking for
ward to the coming of the end from a bed
OF sickness and suffering. Sad as was
the shock to his devoted family and many
friends it was merciful to him, and so the
end came without warning sign.
About 10 days ago Mr.. Higgins, after
several months Of suffering from rheu-
matism, was confined to his bed, but
though enduring much pain it was not
thought his illness was of a serious ma
ttre, but on the night before his death he
was very uneasy and members of the
family were with him at various times
during the night ministering at his bed
side. About O'Clock in the morning a
heavy fall in his room attracted the at
tention of his aunt, Miss Sterrett, and on
entering the chamber she found Mr. Hig-
gins lying upon the floor in the agony Of
death. Help was summoned and the
stricken man was lifted tendery upon
the bed, but life had flown.
Arthur Sterrett Higgins came with his
parents to Montana from the southern
states when a very young man. Soon
after the arrival of the family he went to
a preparatory school in Missouri and af-
terwards to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where
he eventually graduated from the law de-
partment with high hpnors. y
After finishing his studies he engaged
in the practice of law, first in Deer Lodge.
then Anaconda, then Philipsburg
and then Butte. He was afflicted with
Rheumatism for a number of years and it
was thought that the heart became al-
fected by the malady and thus caused his
death. He leaves behind, his parents,
DR.. and Mrs. w. W. Higgins, of this
city, his brother Irwin of Salt Lake and a
sister, the wife of Lieutenant Krause of
the regular army.
The funeral took place from the family
residence on Monday, Reverend e. G.
Prout performing the rites of the Epis-
copal service, and Mesdames Fl. B. Davis
and Capt. James II. Mills and Messrs.
Sam Beaumont and Rev. E. G. Prout fur
nishing tile music. Those acting as pail
bearers were: Frank Conley, John Biel-
enberG, james Self, w. ". Goodman, A.
IL. Mitchell and Marvin Trask. The flo
raj offerings were many and beautiful.
MIR. Higgins was of genial nature,
large hearted and generous to a fault,
and was universally popular. The SYM
pathy of all goes forth to the bereayed
family.
