A News Service Wfthou'
Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim by the CHICAGO REcoRD-HERALp
that its readers enjoy every day in the
week, Sunday included, . news service
that is without parallel in range and
completeness. In addition to the in
dependent news facilities of THE CHIc-
AGO REcoRD-HERALp, that paper re-
ceives the complete news service Of the
New York Herald and the Associated
Press, and when it is considered that
its news columns are supplemented by
all the special features SO popular with
its thousands Of readers, it will be seen
that the REcoRD-HERALD holds a unique
place among the great newspapers Of
the United States.

On Thursday, Aug ust Sixth. we we're
called to pay our last tribute to Eliza
Bolmar, beloved wife OF William Boil
mar OF Hillside. She departed this
life Wednesday, August 3. at s: :l5 a. m.
She was born March IL, 1877. She was
one of the finest characters this valley
ever knew and was highly respected by
all. and those who knew her best, loved
her most. She was the e 'dest and be-
loved daughter of Richard and Eliza
beth Houle. old time residents Of this
valley and loyal members Of the NJ. Z.
church. The remains were borne from
the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Bolman, and laid 70
rest in the old family burial ground
beside her mother who passed away
some years ago. Almost every citizen
Of Wet Mountain valley was present at
the funeral. There were also a large
number Of relatives and friends from
Canon City, West Cliff, Silver Cliff and
the Ria Alto Mining camp.
The pail bearers were as follows,
Eugene Mccormick, John Adams Rich

Stern illness paled her brow;

And marfed her gently bow
To that grim monarch Of the grave,
Who takes us all in trust,
And whom that none, but one, could

That form from early dust.
But al was still and tranquil there,
There was no troubled swell;
Her spirit meekly breathed a prayer,
Then whispered, 'all 10 we'll.
Twas morning, and a fitting hour
| For souls like hers to steal
Away from earth, like some fair flow
| Impressed with Heavens seal.
Like some bright vision of the night,
Or like a meteor's ray
OF brilliancy, upon the sight,
She calmly passed away,
And thus gentle spirits gone
| To seek its home above,
And mingle with the holy throng,
| With him whose name 10 Love-"
