The funeral of Mrs. w. g.. Little was
held from the Congregational church
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock con-
Quoted by Rev. s. g. Updyke. The
church was filed full of people from all
parts of the city. About the coffin were
many floral tributes from friends of the
deceased, covering two large tables. The
ceremony was very beautiful and touch
ing and the remarks of the minister
simple and very appropriate, conpli-
menting the life of the dead woman for
It's consistent christian virtues. The
ceremony at the grave was short but im-
presslye, only few Drawing the wintry
weather to be there.
The city council took a step IN the
right direction when it arranged to have
an ordinance passed giving the police
men authority to take up and prosecute
those men who have SO little care for
their horses that they will leave them to
suffer in the cold on the streets for hours
while they are enjoying themselves in
some warm place. There is not much of
this kind of work in the city. People
usually value the lives of their horses
too much to sacrifice them in that man
ner but it sometimes happens, and with
the barn room that is provided in this
city there is no excuse for 1t and the
man who allows his dumb animals to
suffer. should be made to realize that it
is wrong.
The concert given by the Second Reg
iment band at the Opera House On Sat
urday evening drew large and appreci-
alive audience. It was bitter cold
evening, one of the worst of the season,
yet the hall was filed full Of people.
The program throughout was of the
highest order and is worthy of the high
est praise. The band is the pride of the
city and the citizens take pride in the
excellence to which its individual men,
sbers have attained. No doubt il the
evening had been pleasant one the hall
would have been taxed to hold the
crowd. The concert has been highly
complimented by all who heard it, and
those who took individual parts acauit-
ted themselves with much merit.
Another piano contest is to be inangu-
rated In this city following the same
principle and with the same end in view
US the enc which has now been in oper-
alton for the past few weeks and is to
include most of tue merchants who were
left out of the other contest. The first
contest has greatly benefited the mer-.
chants who put their money into it as it
has thrown trade to them from people
who have been in the habit of dealing
with other merchants carrying the same
lines of goods but not handling the
piano tickets. This has worked to the
detriment Of the other merchants and
they are scheming to offset the loss they
have suffered. When the new contest
is launched there will be contest in
real earnest between the two factions
and some lodge or society will pet q
