A LITTLE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT

When die the old who have filled
their allotted space and time and been
of useful life, we are indeed saddened;
but when die the young, there dies
with them promise, hope and aspira-
tions for the future, and we are be-
reayed. We lay away our parents DIS
our parents have expected to be lain
away, in tenderness and sorrow, but
with the feeling as they have taught
US to feel of the inevitable end; when
die the young, there is killed, beside,
the aim of the mother and the hope
of the father. 1t is thus that Joseph
Gussenhoven and wife were bereaved
Tuesday last by the death of their
infant daughter, Margaret, twin.
The new life which was SO sudden
ly extinguished had barely begun it's
sweet intelligibleness, but sympathy
for the bereaved parents impelled a
large attendance at the funeral SER
vices.
There were many handsome floral
tributes at the funeral, among which
were cross from the parents and
boquets from Messrs. and Mesdames
II. W. Gross, James Lenihan, Pat
Yeon G. W. Young, L. T. Austin,
Ed L. Brown, James Bowlin. Bo-
quets were also sent by Simon Pepin,
the Beckstead Drug company and A.
@. Lender.

HEARTY HAND
HELPS HAvRE

Geo. T. Sanderson returned this week
from an extended tour of Montana
during which he attended the
organization of the Montana
Business Mems League in Billings as
a delegate Of the Havre Industrial
association. Both Mr.. Sanderson and
James Holland report that all the
Montana cities showed great enthusi-
asm over the movement that means
concerted action and mutual aid for
the state just as the Havre Industrial
association means these things to
Havre.
Havre, the delegates say, will
doubtless be greatly benefited by the
new organization. Havre is willing
to help Butte get the mining congress
and Butte is willing to help Havre
get the maneuyers Of the regular
army and National guard. Billings is
as eager for extention Of the Burling-
ton line, and thence to connection
with the Canadian Pacific road as is

PLAN A new
CEMETERY SITE

the first burial, the> interment being
that of the baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Gussenhoven. The new ceme-
terry is located abeut three blocks
south of the reservoir site belonging
to the city, and was secured from L.
V. Devlin by the Catholic church.
The tract comprises three acres. Ia
time it is proposed that water be Sc
cured from the city water reservoir
for the purpose Of planting trees at
the new cemetery and otherwise
beautifying it.
There is a movement proposed to
secure few acres from MI. Devlin
for the purpose of removing the pres
ent cemetery to adjoin the Catholic
cemetery SO that it also may receive
tire benefit Of the water from the
city reservoir, but whether this will
be done is at this time difficult to
say. Mayor Newman, on being Ques-
toned as to the probability of such a
movement being carried out, says:
"It is matter that will have to re-
ceive the most careful consideration
and one that will require, as far as |
am concerned, a most careful insight
as to the wishes of the majority Of
the people Of the city. The improve
ment Of the present city cemetery
was one Of the first improvements
that / took up as mayor of the city,
and the same has certainly been i'm
proved The city council authorized
the expense of about $3.50 in improv-
ing same. The system of burial
records is one of the most perfect Of
any city or town in the state. A Gem
etery board has been organized which
controls all cemetery affairs, and all
moneys received from the sale of
ground is placed in the cemetery
fund and expended for the purpose of
identifying the cemetery only.
"There are some indications of
water on the ground, and it is the
intention Of the cemetery board to
probe for it, and if water can be Sc
cured to install q windmill which
would pump sufficient water to beaG-
tify the cemetery. Before making
this test, do not favor considering
the proposition of removing the GEM
etery.
"a great many people in the city
are interested in the present ceme-
terry by having relatives and friends
inferred there, and it is question of.
how many of these care to remove
them to another place; also ques-
tion of how many can afford to do SO.
'"There is matter Of sentiment in
volved, as well as practicability-and if
the proposition should assume any
any extensive proportion it is possible
that in order to determine the wishes
of the people, a public meeting
may be called for the purpose of af-
fording an opportunity for public
expression. The cemetery board con-
sists of A. Beckstead, VIM. Ball,
Frank Lemmer and Mayor Newman.
A meeting of this board will be held
this week, and this matter will be

How One Man Saved the Town.

DIOOhlyH
 The town meeting at Gosnold recent ly saw one of the hardest fought elec- tions ever held in this state. The com bat waged flercely over the prob- lem whether the town should have license or no-license. The victory went to the drys by one vote. One man saw ed the town from going to perdition, and prevented the streets from be- coming roistering scenes of drunken hilarity and the town lookup from be- ing overcrowded with arrested revelers. The streets of Gosnold, thanks to wise providence are still safe to walk through at nightfall.
 The exact vote of Gosnold, so that you can see how close 1t all was, Is here given: Votes for yes, 5: votes for no, 6.
 A chronicler notes that That Is the closest vote on license that Cuttyhunk ever experienced" We can readily be- lieve this statement. We cannot see how it could ever be any closer unless they got to allowing the children to cast half-votes on Cuttyhunk, which is one of the Elizabeth islands, not far from Marthas Vineyard.
 Had license prevailed in Gosnold we can imagine the five or six "yes voters gathering in the palatial haunt of vice that their license votes made possible spending their days and nights in riot ous living while the fish swam un- caught and the crops grew unattended and unnoticed. The constant scenes of debauchery which that half dozen would have inflicted on Cuttyhunk would have made it a blot on the face of nature. It is well that the extra man rolled out of his bed to vote No" on that momentous day of the town meeting. He is as great as he that saveth a city.

Fate of TWO Men in the Ore Mines al
 AttaIIa.

AttaIIa.
 Gadsden, April 12.-(Special. )-Twd miners, Bob Heald, white, and Horaca Williams, a negro, were found dead in the ore mines of the Alabama Consol- dated Coal and Iron Company in Ats talla about o'clock Wednesday morn< ing, and their death is a mystery.
 Two shifts are worked at the mines. Some time after midnight the air be- came foul and the fifteen miners came up from the lower entry, which is three-quarters of a mile from the opens ing. After the men came up, Bob Heald. who operated the pump, said ha was going down to see what was tha trouble, and the negro volunteered to go with him.
 The men were gone so long the wait ing miners became alarmed and one of the number volunteered to go down and see what was the trouble. When he reached the entry where was lo- cated the pump, the negro Williams was found lying flat on his back, bare- ly breathing. while Heald sat bolt-up- right against the pump, cold in death.
 The alarm was given and the men removed. No cause has been ascertain ed for the death of these men. Soma say that the air tubes became dry and the air pumped into the mines was hot and the men suffocated to death. An investigation will be made.

 Cotton rolled in at a great rate by wagon this morning and an unusual sight greeted the eye of pedestrians on Broad Street when thirty-four bales stood out fin bold relief awaiting buyers. It is regarded as a little sim gular, too, since the market is at a lower figure than 1t has been for sev- eral days.
 Rain fell here throughout yesterday and today and farm work is being re- tarded. Corn is pin most every sec tion of the county and the stand is considered good. Cotton planting is absorbing the attention of the farm CTS and the work will not be over be- fore the latter part of the month.
