From Starr Valley.

Last Sunday evening. June 18th,
or community was shocked by the
sad intelligence that Mr.. Louis M.
Hardy of this place was no more.
Mr.. Hardy was born in Idaho in 1862.
Tie had lived In Halleck for a num-
e: of years where he was post
master. in which Office he gave good
satisfaction to all. His trade was
that Of blacksmith, and he was
well s!-illed mechanic and received
liberal patronage. In May, 1896,
Mr.. Rarty was married to Mrs. Helen
st. Clair, of Starr Valley. During
his residence in Starr he made many
warm friends who respected and hon
ored him as an upright and honest
neiG;h1or and who Will sadly miss
him and mourn his death.
The funeral took place mt the
school house Monday afternoon.
The Eev. Mr.. Jo1es delivered a very
impressive sernon. At the conclus-
ion OF the funeral services, L large
concourse Of sympathj1:ng friends
followed the remains to the cemetery
where they we're laid in their last
resting place. The deceased leaves a
widow, a mother and several broth
ers and sisters to mourl his death.
He has gone, his voice will no long
er be heard in our midst. With him
the voyage of life Ii ended. He has
crossed the dark river of death and
has reached the haven where the
winds cease to blow, the waters are
still and where there is eternal rest.
The earnest, heartfelt sympathy OF
tile comuluniGy is extended to the be
reaved relatives in their great Attic
ton. May He who watches over all
console them in. their hours OF sor-
row and grief. "'

Mrs. Ceiss Came Near Dying From
Effects of Laudanum.

Mrs. Ceiss Came Near Dying From
Effects of Laudanum.
1t required the constant efforts of DIR.
Grafton D. B. Bailey and DIR. Thompson
for fully four hours this morning to save
the life of Mrs. Annie Ceiss, who resides at
215 AZ street. The danger that seriously
threatened the life of Mrs. Cess was occa-
stoned by large dose of laudanum and
sweet oil. According TO the physicians, the
woman this afternoon was considered out
of danger.
Mrs. Cess swallowed the dose about 1
O'Clock this morning. Shortly thereafter
her husband, George Cess, became alarm
ed at her condition and spoke to her, but
she was unconscious, and then. being con-
WINGED that something serious was the mat
ter, he hastily summoned DIR. Bailey who
lives near by, and sent for DR.. Thompson.
AS stated, the physicians stayed with the
patient for several hours, not taking their
departure until the indications were favor
able to recovery.
The husband of Mrs. Cess stated this
afternoon that the latter has been i'll for
some time past and has been unable to
sleep. She took the drug said Mr. Cess.
to produce slumber. According to the hus-
band, there was was no thought of sui
eide. He considered the effect of this last
dose Of laudanum on his wife as very
strange, he said. because he had seen her
take twice much at one time before
with no i'll results.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, November 24.-The
United States steamer Alert came into port
yesterday, eleven days from Acapulco. The
Alert left San Francisco on her way south
on September Is, her first point of destina-
ton being Ozcos. in Guatemala.
When the Alert reached there the inslr-
gents had looted the custom house, taking
about $4,000 and had left for the interior.
The government forces were in possession
of the town, and the Alert passed on to
San Jose, where she remained curing the
whole OF the Instruction. Capt. Richards
says that at the most the uprising was a
small affair, the leaders being supported by
Indians and people taken from the coffee
plantations:
Before the Alert left San Jose, on Novem-
Der g. Gen. Barrios had completely sup
pressed the uprising and had established
himself in Office for another six years. He
had the support of the military and the
foreign element, with whom he appeared
to be in good standing.

plauding again ard again.
The feature of Miss Comes address was
her bitter denunciation of the proposed ar
bitration treaty between Great Britain and
the United States. England wanted it, the
speaker declared, not for peace, but to
bolster her war prestige elsewhere. To Ire
land this would be bitter blow.
On motion of NJ. V. Cannon, a resolution
