And natures priests her yestmedts wear.

The city teens with restless life,
And tapering steeples bear the cross
A symbol of the Christians strife
Through all the years of gain and loss.

And wave their plumes in every breeze

not been feeling we'll of late, though
apparently suffering from no particu-

persuade him to go to California. His
illness did not keep him from his usual
work, however. till Sunday afternoon.
when he stated that he was feeling
worse than usual. He spent the after
noon in his room, appearing again for
a few minutes about 4 o'clock, and
again returning to his room. AS he
failed to come around yesterday fore
noon Mr.. McCamley went up stairs to
look after him, with the result as
above noted.
Coroner Johnstone was notified and
q jury was summoned which viewed
the remains and will meet at o'clock
this morning to consider the case.
Deceased is thought to be about 40
years old and is an old resident of the

He has no relatives in the west so far
