Little fiettie Myrtle Guthrie.

On June 4th, 1904 the death angel
visited the home of L. G and A. '.
Guthrie near LAFAYETTE Springs, Miss. e.
and took from their midst their sweet
little daughter Hettie Myrtle. who WAS
also grand daughter OF w. ID and NJ.
j. Hamilton She was born Oct 30.
1901. her age being 2 years months
and days.
Little Hettie first had measles and
was almost convalescent from it when
she took pneumonia and died within n
hours after taking the dread disease.
All that loved ones aud friends could d.
was done. but God in his infinite good
ness aud mercy saw fit to take her
home to rest. While nerhaps tongue
cannot express how little Hettie is
missed at home, yet God permitted her
to remain here long enough to show
the humility OF little child OF Jesus.
God had noble purpose for her in her
home while she was there and a noble
purpose in taking her home to Heaven.
Bible was the name OF the hook she first
learned to lisp. She would often OF t
mamma to hand her the Bible and she.
in her sweet little way, would begin to
read, while OF course she had not learn
ed to read yet how comforting it should
he to her parents to know she loved
the Bible She also loved the song
book, was often heard sing the song
that contained the following words:
'Iy'e not been There but I've often been
told.
The angels wings are tipped with
gold.''
No doubt to dav il she could be per
mitted just for one moment, to come
hack into this world she would sing
I've been There and now | know,
The angels wings are tipped with
gold.'
How often she would bow her head
and thank the Lord for supper. She
delighted in going to church. The last
time she went she was seen to knee
during the closing prayer. To day she
| is where prayer is never offered. but
| where there is but one Eternal day I"
| happiness and bliss.
| Nav God help the whole family t"
live as Hpttie lived ana 70 he submissive
| to the will of God and know that al
things works together for good T" then
that love the Lord Remember .Iesu'
said Suffer little children To come Tn
to me and forbid them not for OF suci

Cheer up father, mother. brothers an'
sisters. and east all your cares upni
Jesus for lie cares for YOU AID sad
Come unto me all We that labor an,
are heavy laden and will give yon rest.
May we try and follow the exampl
taught by her life, be true to God keeI
unsputted from the world and som
sweet day we wilt meet little Hetti
in that beautiful City OF God.

ordered her to stop, and when she
resused to do so, he deliberately
raised his gun and shot her.
At the preliminary trial, which

JAPAN S STOPPING DISPATCHES
FACT THAT NO TELEGRAMs HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED CAuSEs
ALARM.
RUSSIA MOvfS VERY SLOWLY
NOTHING YET DONE IN CoNNEc-
TON WITH REPLY TO
JAPAN.

London, Jan. 3.-The Far Eastern
outlook is gloomy. No further news
has developed, but the fact that not
single telegram from Japan has been
received by any London newspaper
since ThuAday night in itself creates
alarm. The telegraph company is
not aware Of any delay In the tansn
Of messages, and 1t therefore Is sup
posed that the Japanese government
| Is stopping dispatches.
The feeling Of apprehension was re-
nected at Lloyd's yesterday, under
writer's demanding additional pre-
MUM to cover q war risk on all yes
sells, no matter of what nationality,
proceeding east Of Singapore.
Rupture All But Inevitable.
The London morning papers print
aIarmist statements. The Daily Tele-
graph in loaded type says:
Even in diplomatic circles, hitherto
sanguine of peace. there is a recogni-
ton that a rupture Is all but inevita-
BILE. Neither Japan nor Russia Will
abate anything of their claims. and
there is no disposition on either side
10 invite the mediation of friendly pow
ers. 1t is believed that Japan will
take decisive steps within the next
few days, unless a conciliatory mess
age is dispatched from st. Petersburg,
4 contingency which those best able to
form judgment do not anticipate"
The Daily Mail deals similarly with
The situation and says that 1t under
stands that Russia has reached de-
cision which, which, when communi-
Gated to Japan, must
Precipitatc Hostlities.

Russia Makes No Answer.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The foreign
Office yesterday informed the cores.
pondent of the Associated Press thai
nothing had been done in connection
with reply to Japan.
The Japanese minister Is unable to
confirm or deny the adyices received
from Paris by Baron Hayshi, the jap
anese minister to Great Britain, that
Russia has decided not to grant the
Japanese proposals. He says an an
swer to these proposals has not yet
been made.
1t is generally accepted In diplo-
matte circles here as unlikely that an
answer will soon be delivered, and AT
tention is now mainly directed to the
Japanese war preparations.

THEATERs CLOSED.
Mayor Harrison Takes Steps to Pre-

Mayor Harrison Takes Steps to Pre-
vent Repetition of Disaster.
Chicago, Jan. 3.-Mayor Carter Har-
rison yesterday took steps to provide
as far as possible against repetition
of Wednesdays horror at the Iro-
quois theater. AS result Of an in
vestigation made at his orders and
lasting only q few hours. nineteen
theaters and museums were ordered
closed, some Of them being among the
leading and most popular playhouses
in Chicago. The action of the mayor
was based on one single violation OF
the ordinances which are intended to
protect the patrons of theaters from
just such occurrences az that which
cost so many lives on Wednesday. This
was that every one Of these places had
failed to supply an asbestos curtain.
/ The inspection ordered by the mayor
yesterday was carried out by Building
Commissioner Williams ard Chief OF
Police O'Neil. The scope OF the in
vestigation included no other feature
than asbestos curtains. The mayor
Instructed Commissioner Williams to
report to him promptly at the con-
clusion Of the investigation, declaring
that it was his intention that no thea
ter should be
Allowed to Open Its Doors
in Chicago hereafter unless 1t was pro-
vided with an asbestos curtain OF
standard quality that would work at
all times and under all conditions.
ut may not be possible" said Mayor
Harrison, ito prevent loss OF life when
audiences rush for the doorways, but
have determined to see that every pre-
caution is taken to prevent such occur
rerces as will alarm the people and
start them on a rush for the exits. 1t
is all very well to say that the great
loss of life in the Iroquois theater was
due to the fact that the people lost
their heads and crowded into the door
ways and aisles like maniacs, but the
fact remains, and it'cannot be denied
that there would have been no panic
IL the apparatus OF this theater, which,
Judged by all ordinary standards, was
the best equipped playhouse in the
city. had been In proper working con-
d.tion. There Is no getting beyond
that fact. From all the evidence now
in hand it is clear that If the asbestos
curtain in this theatcr had been in the
condition it should have been, there
would have been no loss OF life. CON-
pafatively speaking"

COLORADO FORWARDED
A Section of the State Laid Waste by
 Hail.

Denver, Colo, July 5.-A special to the Republican from several towns in the farming section of Northern Colo rado tell of a damaging hail storm, which swept down the Poudre alley this afternoon, covering a strip of ter i- tory extending from LaPorte to Evans, and from six to nine miles in width. At Fort Collins, the rain storm took the proportions of d cIoud- OuISt and deleIged the vicinity with terrific dowr-pour of rain and hail, accompa- nied by severe lightning and thunder. Hail, which fell to a. depth of eight inches, caused an immense amount cf damage to crops in the surrounding country. After sweeping through Fort Collins, the storm jumped soLch and spread with increasing severity north On Timnath.
 From all reports it is indicated that the heaviest damage from hail came to the towns of Bellevue and LaPorte. Tn this section, the crops were beaten into the ground and all the fruit trees were stripped of their foliage. The loss to grain crops here is reported to be practically complete. Reports of lighter losses to garden crops and small grain come from Evans, Greeley, Wind sor and Timnath.

ALL HOPE IS DYING OUT
No Other Survivors of the Norge Have
 Been Found.

London, July 5.-The passing of am other day with no news of the missing boats of the ill-fated Danisr steamer Norga, which foundered off the Rock all reef, 29O miles from Scottish main- land, on June 2S, lessens the hope that a few more out of the long list of vic tims might have been counted among the survivors. A search of the neigh boring waters will, however, be prose cuted until the last hope has gone.
 The Danish government and the steamship company have sent out a steamship to search the seas for boats and the vessel will visit all the isands within a possible radius, but the res cued at Grimsby and Stornway, who have gone through a terriblej eXperi- ence, believe that there is now little ground for hope, unless an outgoing vessel should have picked up one or more of the boats or unless the survi- vors have landed at\St. Kilda and Flannan Islands.

St. Petersburg, July 5.-The fact that Lieutenant General Sakharoff. chief of staff of General Kuropatkin. witnessed the fighting near Mo Tien pass is taken here to indicate that he is in command of the forces east of Liao Yal'E. which includes the army corps under Lieu tenant General Count Keller.
 The desperate character of the fight ing is shown by the' repeated bsyonet charges. the Russians busting the Jap anese from their trenches. The light ing around Senuchen shows that the Japanese are determined to hold their ground to the south as we'll as Dalin pass until favorable opportunity pre- sents itself for an advance on YinkOw the port of New Chwang.
