A new grand stand is being erected on
the fair ground in place of the one which
was demolished at the time of our recent

feet longer with walks through the center

handler than the old one.

oughly mastered the art of making con-
crete walks, as all viii testify who have
seen the walk he is putting in on Church
street. The expense of putting this walk
in is not near as much as when we were
obliged to hire outsiders to come in and
do the work, and the money is distributed
among our home people instead of being
carried out of town.

Mrs o. H Mossman arrived here from
California, with the body of her daughter,
on Friday, Mr.. Benz. Mossman and Miss
Maud remaining in San Bernardino for
the present. The funeral was held yes
terday afternoon, Rev. w. E. Douglass
The fine floral display and the
large number Of people in attendance
showed the esteem in which Miss Moss
man was held. The O. z. S., of which
Mrs. o. H. Mossman is a member, attended
in a body. The California papers speak
very highly of Miss Mossman, showing
that she had made many friends during
her stay there. The following is an ex-
tract from the San Bernardino Times:
years, died at the residence of her grand
father, Benz. Mossman, this morning at s
O'Clock. Miss Mossman was taken Sc
riously i'll about two months ago, and her
mother came from their eastern home,
Barton, VT, to attend her. 1t became
necessary to remove her to a Los Angeles
sanitarium for treatment two weeks ago.
She steadily failed, and was brought back
here week ago. Last Tuesday she be-
came much worse, and all hopes of her re-
covery was given up. Mrs. Whiting, her
aunt, and Miss Edith Whiting, together
with many friends, did all that love and
sympathy could dictate. The Sunday
school of the First M. e. church, of which
she was a member, attended the funeral
in a body. Miss Gertrude and her sister,
Miss Maud, have won the confidence and
love of scores of people In this city, who
will sincerely mourn the formers death.
Mem bers of the fraternity of the eastern
STAR of which her mother is a member,
have shown true sisterly regards. They
will attend upon her until the train shall
bear them away. The ''Star'' of hope for
reunion in the future makes it possible to
bear the heartbreakings of the present life.
