The Episcopal church OF this city has
lost one Of it's most generous and de-
voted supporters in Mr.. Holman j
Walsh OF Lincoln. The city has lost an
industrious and able citizen. Born in
the north Of Ireland among that settle.
ment OF Scotch. Irish folk whose de.
scendants have attained distinction and
reputation wherever they have settled,
Mr.. Walsh has proved himself net un.
worthy OF his ancestry. He has made a
fortune by industry and acumen and a
reputation by long years Of patient en-
DURANGO OF disease which would have
conquered less sturdy and indomitable
spirit.
Mr.. Walsh was CHEEKY. church low

troubles have tried his courage and his
physical endurance without affecting
his spirit, which remained cheerful and
loving and apparently submissive till
his death.

Mrs. Putnam and Miss Saunders. Mr..
Walsh, as the guardian Of Miss Putnam

OF the elderly but most enterprisipg
citizens should yield to the effects of the
panic now tfat it is past. The brave
old men who went through the past six
years so gallently are needed now more
than ever. With the revival of legiti.
mate speculation the fibre which was
elastic and tough enough to weather the
crisis is necessary in order to avoid the
quick recurrence Of another.
