The military funeral Of Edward J.,
Kelly, of the Thirteenth United States
regulars, who died in the Philippines
over year ago. which was held here
Friday, was the first of the kind here
for many years, and naturally excited
the interest of the young children and
many older people. The procession
passed by the Colony street schoolhouse
on it's way to the cemetery, and was
gazed upon with interest by the many
scholars. AS the story is told, the same
afternoon one of the teachers in the
Colony street school, while instructing
her little ones on various subjects,
| thought to try their knowledge as to
| the current events of the times, having
| especially in her mind the death of
| Queen Victoria She asked the scholars
| how many could tell what person of
world wide reputation had died during
the present week. Many hands were
raised about the schoolroom, and the
teacher, well pleased that such interest
was shown, asked who the person was,
and a score Of voices answered prompt
ly, Eddie Kelly"

duties in breaking, in a first class man
ner, the promising three yearold colt |
which is the property Of Mrs. c. ]. |
hampton, and it now bids fair to be a
valuable animal for any one to own.
Mrs. hampton, who is not in need of
such a prize, is naturally disposed to
sell the horse to some person who will
appreciate it's value.
