and as clean as the prairie was swept
through the eastern portion of the city, and
four hundred buildings. homes and mercan-
tile, were leveled to the ground in scattered
ruins. In the heavy rain that followed the
people who had escaped turned out to rescue
the injured. For two hours not much was

taken from the ruins. 1t is confidently ex-

Esther Rose scott.

The announcement last Thursday Of
the death of Miss Esther (Essie) Rose
Scott. the beloved daughter OF Mr..
Thomas 4. Scott. OF 1909 east Grace street.
has filled with sadness the hearts and
homes of her innumerable friends and ac-
quaintauces who, throughout the long
period Of her severe Illness, entertained
hopes of her recovery.
Miss Scott. or Miss "Essle," as she was
familiarly called by those who knew her
best. was an acknowledged favorite in
the community in which she resided, and
there are many who will cherish in CRATE
ful remembrance the little kindness re-
ceived at her hands.
Naturally Of a bright and cheerful dis
position. possessing am irresistible charm
of manner combined with many admirable
accomplishments, she found no difficulty
in winning a permanent place in the
hearts Of those with whom she was
thrown in contact.
Miss Scott was only 10 years Of age. and
for one 50 young had made remarkable
progress in music and art-particularly
the latter. Some of her sketches in oil
are pronounced very original in concep-
ton, and said to show a delicacy Of finish
rarely found in the work OF the young
artist.
MISS f'NDAl WdS Il bAftAA TulltltIs UtllE
confined 20 her bed for more than two
months previous TO her death, and sub
hitting 10 several delicate and DANCE
r0us surgical operations. Never once du.
ring the long hours Of her confinement
was she heard 10 murmur or complain
and being in complete possession Of her
faculties until the end. she spent the last
moments of her young life in speaking
calmly and encouragingly 70 the grief
stricken friends and relatives gathered
around her bedside.
Her last words were Of the eternal lows
awaiting those who have lived faithfully
In the service OF the Most High; and
after bidding a kind and affectionate
farewell TO all. she passed peacefully 10
rest; her end being like the sinking OF
an evening sunbeam into the bosom of a
quiet sea.
Mr. Scott. the bereaved father. has the
sympathies OF innumerable friends here
and in Ohio, his former home.
