"A Better Day is Dawning, a Day That
Knows No Night" The subject of her
morning discourse was Hart, Mind
and Hand in the Work. She made the
point that the critics and grumblers
were not the workers, and the workers
were not the grumblers. The busiest
man and the man doing the most work
and doing it most heartily was the
man ready for more work. always
ready" should be the motto of the
Christian. At home or abroad, early or
late, heavy work or light, good pay or
poor, a soft snap or hard, the real fol-
lower of the Savior should be always
ready to grapple in the work. nearest at
hand, for the good of man or the honor
of the Master. In the Sunday school
session many of the young people yield
ing to her persuasive appeals signified
their purpose to lead faithful and better
lives in the service of the Savior.

Mrs Mary Delmas Arrested Saturday,
Charged With Seven Thefts.
Mrs Mary Delmas, wife of Mathurin
Delmas of S45 Grand avenue, was ar
rested Saturday by Detective Cowles,
assisted by Detectives Dunlap and DAILY,
charged with shoplifting. Mrs. Delmas
keeps a boarding house at S45 Grand

high priced articles gathered in by De-
tective Cowles and his assistants it Is
believed that she has been long at her
chosen profession.
On searching Mrs. Delmas' house on
Saturday the detectives found guam
tity of choice dry goods, amounting to
over $400, that would excite the envy of
any woman. The goods were found in
numerous hiding places, and were the
very best of their kind. The detectives
accompanied Mrs Delmas to police
headquarters, where she was locked up,
After doing this the detectives returned
to her home and continued their search
bringing to light many other stolen
goods. The big dry goods stores Of the
city are the chief losers.

fed thefts, fixed at 5000 each, or a total
of $1,400

NOW IS THE TIME.

Bicycles Should be Put in Shape, as
Good Weather Will Soon be Here.
Now is the time to have bicycles re-
paired, overhauled, or, in fact done
anything to- as spring will be here be-
fore long. Good bicycle weather is too
good thing to let go without a spin,
and if anything needs to be done such
as repairing spokes, changing gears, fix
ing bearings, putting in new sprockets
or fixing tires, take your wheel to KEEL
sey & Co., 668 State street, and it will
be fixed so as to make 1T just as good
as new. A good bicycle is beautiful
piece of mechaDism and marvel of
combined lightness and strength. 1t
assumes an awful amount of RESPONSE
bility when ridden. and, taken care of
properly, will do great service. When
overlooked or neglected, the best ever
made is liable to break. Kelsey & Co.
can repair wheels cheaper now than in
the spring. They are agents for Nor
row coaster brakes, New Departure
coaster brakes, the Berkey spring seat
post, the Kelly handle bars, Hartford,

everything worth having pertaining to

HORSES BACK BROKEN.
Painful Accident the Result of Run
AWAY Saturday.


away Saturday.
Saturday afternoon q runaway horse
met with an accident that must have
been painful beyond comprehension.
The horse referred to was dashing
through State street coming towards
the city, evidently having broken away
from the wagon to which it was hitch
ed, as nearly all the harness was on its
back.
While on the block between Chapel
and Court streets the runaway horse
crashed into another team with terrific
force The driver of the team was
turning around and did not see the fast
approaching animal. The runaway
horse was thrown back by the force of
the collision and lay on the ground
kicking with pain. DR.. Ross, the veter-
mary surgeon, was called and on an
examination found that the horses
back was broken. The horse was car
ried over to DR.. Ross place, where it
was killed as a relief from its pain. 1t
is not known who the owner of the
horse Is.
