THE DEATH ANGEL.

Franklin Maurice Kidd, oldest child
and only boy Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. w.
Kidd. was born in Chicago, February
3. 1892, and died on Sunday, April 80,
1899, at O'Clock, p. M, aged years,
2 months and % days.
He was taken sick week before but
! was able to 60 to school until Wednes-
day when he was no longer able to be
up. BY Friday his condition became
very serious and from that time there
was very little hope for his recovery.
The funeral services were held from
the family residence Oh Monday and
the casket Of clay was laid to rest in
Highland cemetery. His schoolmates
under the direction of his teacher,
Mrs. Hahn, marched in body to the
cemetery to do last honor to one whom
they loved and mourned. Rev. j. F.
Irwin conducted the ceremonies.
Franklin was a bright, industrious
little boy, the pride of his loving par
ents and a JOY to his little sisters, play
mates and friends. He always took a
great interest in school matters and
none deplOre his death more than his
teacher with whom he was favorite.
The grief comes to the parents as 1t
can come to no others. They have at.
tended him in sickness, ministered to
him in agony and pain and enjoyed his
merry childhood in health. The part
ing Is too sad for words to express and
yet there is consolation to know that
our little friend, in his purity and inno-
cence, has gone where sorrow and pain
do not enter.
The parents who mourn his prema-
ture death, do so with great provoca-
ton. Nothing brings more sunshine
and hope to home than the innocent
frolic and merry laughter of the lit
tie ones, and the absence of one of
these is sorrowful in the extreme.
The community extends its sincerest
sympathy.

HE'S MARRIED.

County Clerk James z. Holmes and
Miss Francies NJ. Smith were joined
in wedlock in the city Of Kiowa, at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Lane,
last Wednesday, April %, 1899. Rev.
l.. l.. Swan of the Episcopal church
performed the ceremony.
Mr.. Holmes secured his marriage IL
cense the Saturday morning previous
to his marriage, and sealed the probate
judges lips, 30 that all We could do last
week was to imagine and surmise. 1t
was Thursday before 1t was generally
known here that he was married, and
it was also learned that he and his
bride went to Wichita and would ar
rive in the city on Friday. Accordingly
the court house crew arranged to meet
the bridal party at the depot in royal
style, and when the 100 train rolled in
there was a great procession and recep.
ton committee awaiting him. The in
struments were 30 variegated that they
admit Of no description here, and the
musical strains were sublime aud en-
trancing. An artistic banner bearing
the inscription, Behold the Bride
groom COmesh, was borne by an ETH
Opian on the front seat of the band
wagon, and all available red tape was
visible in every direction. When the
ceremonies ended and Mr.. Holmes and
his bride had reached the Grand Hotel,
he felt that he had his moneys worth,
and In spite Of his adrOlt secrecy, his
friends had not forgotten him.
Mr.. Holmes was elected to the Office
Of county clerk in the fall of 1897, and
is recognized as young man Of excep-
tio1al worth.
The bride is formerly from Chicago.
but has resided at Kiowa during the
greater part of the several past years.
She is a lady of rare accomplish
ments and has wide circle of friends
in the different cities where she has re-
sided.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes have taken
rooms at the Grand Hotel where they
are receiving the congratulations of
their numerous friends.

but as near as we can learn Mr.. Jesse
claims that the trouble grew out OF
Howard Parker's questioning the sim

that he (Jesse) did not do more than to
prove his sincerity and had no inten.

The first issue of the Kiowa News
came out last Friday. Oscar Haberlein
is editor. foreman, devil. etc., and an
nounces that he has come to stay. He
does not recognize that Kiowa has more
than two papers-the Review and News
and predicts that it will be q question
of only a short time when the Journal
will be forced out. Harry Glenn, Of
the Journal, however, does not see it
that way. He says the Journal is a
permanent fixture, is recognized by the
republicans of Kiowa as the party Or
gan, and predicts that the career OF the
News will be brief. 1t is needless to
say that Haberlein and Glenn are not
I In love with each other, and it all grows
out of the fact that the political fortune
wheel smiled on one and ignored the
other.
