which took place yesterday forenoon. A
score or more companions and friends or
the murdered boy from this city were not
deferred by the storm from showing a
last mark of respect to his memory and
also by their presence at the grave to
evince their sympathy with the bereaved
family. The esteem in which the victim
of Constable Desirellos deadly pistol was
held was shown by the merchants of

business while the service was being held
at ST AIMS Church. The funeral cortege

The Eureka Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children Finds
Sad Case Which Promptly Attended to by the Officers.

officers who raided the place are re-
sponsible for the remark that il two
servants kept the house in no better
order, a regiment would be required
to make il fit for a human being to
inhabit.
When the officers entered the house
and took the inmates in charge Mary
Driscoll. the old woman who had been
tending the babies, felt ashamed of the
appearance of the place. With a broom
which had seen considerable service
she sought to rid the kitchen of its
filth, and only desisted in her effort
when advised to do so by the police.
The only article of furniture in the
entire house which presented a re-
spectacle appearance was the stove.
Mrs Driscoll, 1t seemed, had taken a
special pride in this part of the fur
nishing and had kept 1t in excellent
condition.
The children were nearly starved and
when taken to the station and given
food partook of 1t ravenously. When
the mother saw her offsprings brought
into prison she cried, but the police
and officers of the Eureka Society
paid little attention to her, thinking
that if she cared so little for her chill

titled to no consideration when under
arrest.

Hnnuadi War Not Ended

Under the heading "Hunyadi War Ended
some of the daily papers printed notice a
short time ago that a lawsuit between the
owners of Hunyadi Springs came to an end
through recent decision. Information comes
from competent source that a lawsuit be-
tween owners of Hunyadi Springs has never
been before any court of the United States II
is impossible to see how such lawsuit could
come up at all. because the firm of Andrea.
Saxlehner of Budapest in the kingdom OF
Hungary is the sole owner of any "Hunyadi
springs in Hungary.
Indeed, this firm OF Andreas Saxlehnel
brought lawsuit against certain New York
firm. because this New York firm uses on its

similar TO the labels of Andreas Saxlehner'
original Hunyadi Janos water

used year after year. Buy up dozen
or more of and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
IN bright hues of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with a dainty pair Of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa
per and fastened to the body by means
of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings,
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out of
WORKOUT wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quivering, causing the wings to move
as If in fight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls In hover

The effect is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls

days OF very warm debate is prom
Used during the annual convention
of the National Live Stock Associa-
ton which convenes here on the 10th
OF next month. The subjects which
will cause these interesting discus

charges at the Chicago market: feed
ing in transit rates on live stock
shipments and the leasing of public
lands. The first is of so great i'm
portance to sheepmen that the lead
ers of this industry in the north and
northwest are sending out circulars
to every Association in that country
requesting them to join the National
Association at once and send full
delegations to the Forth Worth

they will ask the convent ton to
memorialize congress TO reopen
these reservations. No convention
