To Clean Lace.

When lace is soiled, even the very
finest, such as honiton and point, you
can clean it by being careful in this
way; sew the lace upon strips of
muslin and roll it tight around a
smooth glass bottle and fastensecurely,
Make a suds by adding a teaspoonful
OF Gold Dust Washing Powder, and
put the bottle in this to soak for
several hours. If the water looks
soiled, make fresh suds, and repeat
this process, patting the lace frequent
ly bedween the fingers and rinse in
several waters; then dry the lace on
the bottle with soft towel.

In Memoriam.

Arthur W. Miller was born April l
1880, in Cresco, Iowa, where he lived
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Fl
Miller, until Aug. 10th, 1897, when bis
ambitious young spirit saw employment
and good wages for him IN Washington
Since that time he has been in that state
and in Idaho.
On the eevenipg OF Feb 26th, at Cataldo,
Idaho, he attempted to cross the Couer d.
Alene river upon the boom. while his
companions went further around by the
bridge to their boarding place. They
saw him step upon q log that sank with
him and hastened to his rescue with
boats, but he had been in the water
about thirty minutes before he was re-.
covered and the dear young life had fled,
He was fearless, expert swimmer and
had no dread of the water, but his heavy
Macklnaw suit and rubber boots filled
with water, and one of his arms was par.
TALLY helpless from recent injury,
therefore he was powerless to save him.
telf, His brother, John r. Miller, who
accompanied the remains to Cresco, was
at Davenport, Washington, and was at
once notified of the sad tragedy. Monday
the beloved silent form was taken from
the afternoon train to his boyhood home
that will never be just the same bright
home that it was before his happy voice
was stilled forever.
Tuesday, March 9TH, Rev. w. G. Silke
conducted funera! services at the house
in the presence of numerous concourse
of friends who loved the departed for his
genial, noble nature.
The members of the family were all
present except the sister, Mrs. Cottrell,
OF Eau Claire, Wis, who was unable to
come. Those nearest who mourn him
are father, mother, three brothers and
sister. His grave is in Oak Lawn, but
his spirit is in heaven.

WILL BE $500. 900.
Amount Settled Upon for the improvement Of
the Columbia River.

Washington, Dec 24.-The river
and harbor bill will contain an appro-
priation OF $4,000 for the mouth Ct
the Columbia, and further provision
that this improvement be placed under
the continuing contract system until
completed. 1t is understood, however,
that the total amount Of the contract
will not be as great as that recom-
mended by the engineers. IL will
probably be in the neighborhood OF
81, 500, 900. This cut in the estimate
is very favorable to many other states.
Chairman Burton was anxious to
have some repeal legislation to qualify
the large amount in the river and hsr-
bor bill. One of the items which he
wanted repealed was the Dalles boat
railway. The Oregon delegation in
sisted that it should remain until as
surance of some other project for over
coming the obstruction could be had.
