MISS ELIZABETH PHILLIPS.
Ono Of the Oldest Residents Passes Away

The death of Miss Elizabeth d.
Phillips occurred at her home on
Market street on Sunday morning,
May 10th, at half past eleven
O'Clock. 1t was not unexpected,
as she had been i'll for two weeks.
Several months ago she had sick
spell, and has never fully recovered
from it, although she was able to
be around and to attend to those
things which had been her habit
for many years. Two weeks ago
Monday morning she did not ap-
pear as usual, and some neighbors
found her in bed unconscious. Her
death was due to old age, she being
i'll her ninety-hrst year. She YVES
born in Frosty Valley and was a
daughter of David Phillips. When
she was quite young the family,
consisting OF her parents and her
sister Rebecca and herself, moved
to Bloomsbury. and after occupy
ing several different houses finally
moved into the house where Miss
Betsy died. This is one of the old
est houses in the town, having been
built in 1910 by DR.. Bacon.
The parents died. and for many
years the two sisters, Becky and
Betsy, resided together, in the old
home. Then about six years ago,
Rebecca died, being the senior of
Betsy by six years. Since that
time Betsy has lived alone, prefer
ring to do so, and her every want
has been supplied. 1t is under
stood that some years ago the two
sisters, having no property except
the home, and no means to sustain
it, made a contract with J. l.. Dillon
providing that they would give the
property in exchange for their sup
port during their lives. They were
supplied with all the comforts of life,
and their every want was provided
for. Mr.. Dillon now own the prop
erty.
Miss Phillips was the oldest
woman in town, save one. She was
the oldest COMMUNICATE of St.
Pauls P. +. Church. The funeral
was held on Tuesday afternoon at
a o'clock, Rev. d. N. Kirkby Off
ciating.

Dumont's Minstrels will not ap.
pear in Bloomsbury or at least not
as an Elk Lodge benefit. The
guarantee was a little more than
the committee felt able to pay and
the rental of the Opera House was
considered eXorbitant. The neg
ative decision of the committee
carries with it keen disappointment
as many people had already EN-
gagged seats. The troup will appear
in Danville on the evening of the
10th and doubtless many of our
people will go down.

CLUB RUNS PLANNED
Season of Great Activity Is Expec-
ted by the Minneapolis Auto
mobile Club. ~
Reckless Chauffeurs Will Be Called
Down by Club in No Un-
certain Manner,

The Minneapolis Automobile club, which
was Incorporated last fall, is planning
series of club runs for this summer, and
expects season Of great activity. En-
durance runs will be a feature of the
events given by the club. While these
will not be on SO elaborate scale as SIM
liar runs in the east, the contests are ex-
pected to prove most interesting.
During the winter the club has de-
voted much attention to securing favor
able legislation in regard to automobiles.
Through the efforts Of members Of the
club, a measure has been introduced in
the lower house Of the legislature, regu-
lating the speed Of automobiles and pro-
viding other restrictions for chauffeurs.
Machines will be allowed to maintain a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour on
country roads, but must slow down to six
miles an hour within the limits of incor-
porated cities which have no local regula-
tions. ,.... -.
The law also provides that machines
shall be registered, and shall carry In a
conspicuous position on the back num-
ber by which the name Of the owner
can be ascertained in case of an acci-
dent from careless driving. This pro-
vision is generally favored by local chauf
feurs. Sa
One Of the objects Of the formation Of
the club was to enforce a more rigid disci-
pline among its members than can be Sc
cured by legislation. Reckless chauff eurs
will be called down by the club in
an effective manner. Automobile own
ers recognize that the reckless driver does
more DANCE to other chauffeurs than to
anyone else, and it will be one Of the
great efforts of the club to cooperate
with the civil authorities in preventing
unnecessary accidents.
