Death Of Miss Myrtle Saeger.

Miss Myrtle Saeger, daughter of
CALVIN Sseger. was born near Shelton
Jan. 9th 1873, and died Friday morning
June LIST 1900 Having grown up in
this community from chlldhood,. she
drew about her a large number of
friends. Above five years ago she was
deprived of her mother, which threw
upon herself and sisters the responsi-
BILE duties of home life. With what
patience and fortitude she performed
these duties, is we'll attested by those
who knew her best.
Some three years ago she was at
tackled with that insiduous disease con
sumption. Bravely did she fight
against its approaches. Every care
that could be given, and every remedy
that might prove beneficial was resort
ed too. A portion of one year was
spent away from home, IN the vain
hope that change of climate and treat
ment might prove beneficial. But the
ldtdl dISCdSCs was Outy CncCkeQ, not
abated. Still with indomitable will,
and that hope characteristic of the
disease, she kept up until about week
before her death. AS the end drew
near she expressed a desire to depart,
gave message to the family, express
sed the desire to meet them in heaven
and then passed from the earth life.
The funeral was held at 2:30 o. m.
Sunday, in the Methodist church, Rev.
w. B McMillin preaching the sermon.
The altar and casket were embarked
with most lavish and beautiful dis
play of flowers, wrought into various
emblems and designs. The burial
took place in Oakland Cemetery, beside
her mother and other members of the
family. To the bereaved father and
Borrowing friends, the sympathy of all
are extended.

Nashville Students.

Minstrel shows are sure winners in
North Yakima and Larson's theater was
well filed Tuesday night. A fairly good
show was put up bnt like the majority
of minstrel shows, it lacked novelty.
The vocal numbers in the first part were
good and well rendered. Then there was
the usual dancing, the monologue artist,
the slack wire performer and acro5atic
work and the musical genius--all good
numbers, especially the contortion work
of the Carter brothers and the acrobatic-
musical performance of Frank Kirk, but
there was nothing introduced that the
audience had not witnessed in former
minstrel shows. What minstrelsy needs
is inventive genius. The programs of
all the organizations have become too
much alike.

which he is absolute master. He will be
seen at Larson's Theater, Monday, July

Dubois, came here from Pocatella, Idaho,
last week and accompanied his sister
home. Mr.. Claude Briggs says that Du-
Bots did not exhibit any gun when be
threatened to take his own and his wife s
life, but that Mrs. Dubois said she wa 3
afraid OF him and had better 90. When
the threat was made by Dubois, Mr..
Briggs went and armed himself and
stated that he would dominate affairs in
his own house and would protect Mrs.
Dubois if she required it, and while be
thought it would be better for her to re-
main there in company OF his wife she
was free agent and could go il she de-
sired. They went to the Howser place
on the Natchez, where the sheriff knew
OF their presence, and when Mr.. Davis
arrived Mrs. Dubois accompanied him
home while her husband vanished into
darkness.

centre of distribution,

foundation, centre of distribution,
and cost of lot being taken into
consideration. The commissioners
| believe that this scheme is thor
oughly feasible and will avoid the
necessity of saddling on our cont
munity any special tax, leaving
them free on this particulaf to
consider any proposition for the
welfare of the town that may
arise in the future.
A further consideration of i'm
mense benefit to the business peo-
pie and residents of the city will
be the saving in insurance by the
reduction of rates which the South
eastern Tariff Association has pro-
missed; this plant being built in
accordance with their require
mentS.
The question of water supply is
one involving the deepest concern.
The availability of Lake Tasse with
it's advantages and disadvantages
were literally discussed by the
commissioners. The Teche was al
so considered, and its dlsadvan
tages, caused by the pollution OF
its waters by some of the sugar
factories along its banks, during
the sugar making season. The
deep or artesian well was also
given considerations and it isl
thought to be the most practicable
and promises best results.
After closing contracts with the
contracting parties,a test well will
be sunk to great depth in order
to ascertain exactly what condi-
tions exist below the depth already
probed by the two ice factories OF
our town. The plan will probably
include the construction of a large
reservoir, walled in with masonry,
into which the water from the well
will be pumped and left exposed
to the atmosphere before pumping
into the water tower for, dlstrlbu-
ton. An auxiliary feed pipe will
be laid to the bayou as a precau-
tionary measure, in order to meet
any extraordinary demands caused
by general conhagration.
With the hearty cooperation OF
all our citizens the project will
prove, beyond a doubt, a grand
success.
