Adlai E. Stevenson of III.
Friday, August II, 1900.

THE NORTH Park UNION has
reached four full years of life. It's
. wonder. We say that sdvlsably
when We contemplate the severe
struggle the infant has had, to main
tain is existance. -"
This week We start out with No. l
Of volume s. The sun has gone on
with its shining, the planets have per-
formed their revolutions, and even
the comets have switched their fiery
tails through space, much the same
as though the NoByH PARK psIoN
had not started So all the great world
has moved. This paper was started
to Gil q long felt want, and at several
times during its career it has almost
reached the acme Of its ambition
never quite.
It's friends have tried to keep life
in 1t and sec IL prosper, while Its en-
emies-and it has some-have wished
| it all kinds of evil and tried by SIM
o: omission and commission to 10y
it, naked cold corpse out before thu
gaze of a curious and uncLari
table public ready for the last sac
rites OF the undertaken. They have
not been gratiiied yet. The prayers
Of the wicked often avail not. a,
editor has q hard lot His very hes
efforts are not always appreciated
He has burdens OF which even hi.
friends are not aware. The public is
funny mixture Of cold water, doubt
distrust. deceit, deviltry, aud lot o
great big human nature, cheer, com
fort, constancy and down right sub
stantial help. An edito, has to fac
that mixture every day OF his life
Is 1t any wonder he gets cross, look
wild in the eyes and grows gray
An editor has his shortcomings
When he deserves a drubbing he i.
the Que for whom there Is no escape
lie is sure to get his medicine whcthe
it is bitter or not II he makes wr,
face the blessed public only laugh ant
say ,'good enough for him"
But what shall We say Of the futur,
Of tho UNION. Welll il VIC could be
como en- rapport SO to speak, with al
our readers we would say, it is not al
poetry and song and birds aud flower
around US. Still it might be worse
The patient was i'll when We too
hold Of its case last January and j
has required a good deal of carefu
nursing, and constant care, with som
medicine to restore health and keel
it we'll. And it will require more sucl
treatment before strong manhood i.
reached.
Editors make mistakes. Nobody
else does. Newspapers lose business
Merchants, lawyers, doctors never do
Hence you see an editor has not the
easiest life or the most prosperous
kind Of business. And yet the pape
must get out on time, and visit tina
sick or bereaved family with a wore
of comfort, be carefully read by tina
severe critic, or carelessly thrown
aside by that coarse drunken brute
who is a disgrace to mankind on
general principles. We are trying to
do our best considering our where
withal. Are you doing your part

ESTHER CftAPPELL.

No event that has occurred in
Crested Butte for a number of
years past so shocked the com
munity and caused such general
feeling of sorrow as did the death
at 20 o'clock Tuesday morning of
Mrs. Esther Chappell, aged 45
years, from peritenitis, after only
few days illness.
Mrs. Chappell was native of
Canada, and has resided here for
more than sixteen years, during
which time she has experienced q
large portion of sorrow and trouble
which she has borne with calm
Christian resignation and good
fortitude. She was the mother of
large family and it was her aim
to properly rear and care for them.
Her life was a true exemplEcation
of an ideal woman and she has
gone to her great reward for her
earthly vicissitudes SO bravely
supported.
Five children. Wallace, aged q
years. Otto, aged 10, Laura, aged
16. Irma, aged IL, Floyd, aged 6,
survive their mother.
The funeral services were held
at the family residence at 10 a. M,
this morning, Rev. J. L. Read of
the U. C. church, Of which the
deceased was a member, officiating.
The choir WIS present and rendered
several beautiful selections. There
was not a person among the large
crowd in attendance whose eyes did
not well up With tears and whose
heart was not touched by the pathos
in the calling home of this dear
mother. She was an esteemed
sister in the local Rebekah lodge,
the members of which marched in
regalia in the funeral corteGe to
the cemetery. where they conducted
their impressive burial rites. The
mortal remains of the lady were
laid at rest beside her husband and
two children gone before.
