In Memory of Miss Katie Rudd.

This beloved young lady was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. V. Rudd,
and was just IS years of age. She was
taken sick with typhoid fever, and for
two weeks she seemed suffering an
gel, Then Jesus claimed her for His
own. In His infinite love Jesus has
closed her eyes to open no more in this
world, but in heaven. On Tuesday
before she died Thursday night, Au-
gust IA, 1902, her tongue became par
alyZed, so that she had but little use OF
it. She tried to talk, but we could not
understand her. The best medical
skill that could be procured gave only
temporary relief, and finally we gave
up ever hearing her speak another
word. liz early life she gave her heart
to God, and was only waiting for Him
to take her home. oh, how GLAD we
are to know she realized that Gods
help alone could. give to His children
grace. Now she is resting where her
mind is never burdened with earthly
cares. But oh, how hard to give her
up
Dear father. mother sisters and brother,
Weep not for thy loved one is gone;
And sweet will be her slumber
Until the resurrection morn.
When her spirit from earth was called,
And it scared from that darkened room,
1t left the hearts that loved her best
All wrapped in darkest gloom.
Her robes are now all spotless white,
A she dwells among the bowers,
And waits to welcome her loved ones home
To that land of lovely flowers,
Her Cousin MRS. G. f. HENRY.

COUNCIL PROHIBITS
BLOWING OF WHISTLES
ACTION TAKEN BECAUSE OF PETITION
SIGNED BY CITIZENS.
Steam Whistle at Ice Plant Caused Much
Annoyance, and City Fathers Pass
ed an Emergency Ordinance.

At the regular September meeting
of the city council an emergency nrdl'
nance was passed prohibiting the blow
ing of any steam whistle within the
city limits of Dawson.
This action was taken because of a
petition signed by number of citizens
and presented to the council setting
forth that the blowing of the whistle
at the ice factory, as stated in the
council minutes, caused much annoy
ance.
The ordinance in full is published
elsewhere in this issue of The News.
Being what is known as an emergency
ordinance, it required a unanimous
vote OF the council and took effect at
once, and is now in force.
1t was suggested by Mayor Lowrey
that the city had no suitable place for
the scavenger wagon dumps, and
committee was appointed to select
such a place.
A petition from MIR. j. r. Mercer
asking that the City National bank be
allowed to place porch or portico in
front of the store recently purchased
by it on Main street, in lieu of the
sheet iron awning in use at present,
was referred to the building commit
tee.
The building committee was author
lied to have recovered the small build
ings in the cemetery.
Beyond ordering several accounts
paid no other business was transacted.
