must have seen-that the struggle was
hopeless, that the mill beneath him
was doomed, that the explosion must
come soon. They called on him 10 save
himself He shouted back an order
that they pass up more water, and
keep passing water.
The men below did their best, but IL |
was a vain effort, for in those DAYS the |
roofs OF powder mills were made of |

Home Was Too Small to Accommodate
Mourning Friends.

The funeral services over the remains
Of Mrs. Mary Sphinx Sabbath morning
were very impressive and sad Owing
TO the early hour a great many were
deprived of attending, but the home OF
the daughter. Mrs. Minnie Beach, was
filed and many could not get in. thus
showing the place she held in the hearts
Of her friends. The community has lost
a faithful and loving character. The
children and grandchildren a most de-
voted mother and grandmother. and her
husband place never to be filed and a
devoted and kindly companion.
Mrs King says Of the departed:
Mother has gone 70 meet the loved
ones gone before and will await the ones
remaining. for her life was lived Chris
tan and there is not a doubt that her
sweet soul is mingling now with the blest,
happy from this world of pain, sorrow
and suffering for she was a great suf-
ferer during the summer months and
went throughe several operations for
cancer, which disease took her away.
She never complained and bore her bur
den with that sweet and patient courage
which was characteristic of her noble
disposition.
The Woman's Relief Corps has lost
a friend and co-worker, who showed
their respects by their presence and floral
offering. The flowers were beautiful and
various wreaths and bouquets by differ
ent friends were sent in. The Rev. Mr..
Lynch conducted the services and his
kind words of encoura cement tended TO
tighten the hearts of the mourners. The
sweet. soft music rendered on the organ
by Miss Florence Couch and singing by
Misses Daisy and Allie Papes were very
sad, and while they sang the silence
seemed to echo back the sweet strain.

Soldiers Wives Give Surprise to Their
Husbands.


Yesterday the Union Veterans Union

in body. MT. Ramey enlisted in Com
pany A, Twenty-seventh Missouri infant
~ in 1861 and was discharged as a sec
ond lieutenant He participated in the
battle OF Lexington, Lookout Station and
Sedalia.
While the veterans were performing
their last duty to a loyal and brave COM
rade, the ladies OF the Union Veterans
Relief Union were preparing for them
a me luncheon, and when the old boys
returned from the cemetery they were
RECALLED at the A. 0. L. W. lodge room
on South Main street with excellent oof-
fee, doughnuts. ham sandwiches. cakes Of
all varieties. favorite baked beans. pick
les and other things that the veterans
like.
The ladies took two old confederate
fghters-Captain John II. Shields and
Colonel r. n Bean into their confidence
and when the boys who wore the blue
returned 10 ind the feast prepared for
them, guarded by the boys who wore the
gray. the surprise was a pleasant one.
In olden times a Yankee feast would
not be sory safe under the protection OF
a few Johnnies, but times have changed.
The women are the best friends OF the
veterans. especially women who have
such g faculty for cooking beans and
making doughnuts.
Mrs. Helena Mason presided and her
aids gave a nice bouquet TO every vet
cram
A chicken pot-pie IS planned for the
near future and Judge Balderston. Judge
Tucker and Hank Heiserman promise to
give the ladies an exemplifcauon OF
