William David Mosiier.

William David Mosher, aged s
years, 4 months and II days, eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. s. @. Mosher,
died on Wednesday last from mea-
sles. Willie was an exceptionally
bright little fellow and his death is
is a sad blow to his parents.
Only gone before is this little
one, and eternal happiness is its
portion! 1t knew nothing Of the
world save the love and affection
that surrounded the babe at home,
and now basks in the sunshine and
everlasting love of He who said "of
such is the Kingdom Of Heaven"
A flower in an earthly home has
been transplanted to the Garden
in Heaven, and little Willie is now
"safe in the arms of jesus,
"Safo on His gentle breast"
His future is at least secure; and
the loving memories so fondly
treasured by the parents are in
deed a precious heritage.

Boy Drowned.

The little four-year-old son OF
Martin Yaklovich wandered away
from home sometime during the
forenoon today, and not returning
at dinner time, his mother became
alarmed and instituted search,
but without finding the child. The
aid of Marshal Arnott was then Sc
cured and, surmising that the boy
might have fallen into the creek,
the banks were closely examined
and to the horror of all, the body
was found lodged on a piece of
drift wood below the Third street
bridge. All attempts at resuscita-
ton were fruitless.
The father, who is at Ruby, has
been summoned
This should serve to demon
strate the fact that a great many
children here are allowed too much
liberty for safety. The creek is
alluring to children, but very dan
gerous when as high as it is now.
