Death Of Mrs. B. w. Carlisle.

Oedln OI WITS. b. w. NdfllSle.
Mrs. B. w. Carlisle, formerly
Of this city, died at her home in
Phoenix, Arizona, Friday,
March 80, 1906, of tuberculosis,
aged about 46 years.
The deceased was married to
B. w. Carlisle in Logan, Ohio,
in 1880, and came to this city
Immediately after her mar
riage, where she resided until
two years ago. The disease
which caused her death first
showed itself about five years
ago, and everything that med
ical skill could do was done for
her, but to no avail. Two years
ago her husband took her to
Arizona in hopes the dry eli
mate of that country would
benefit her health, but they
were doomed to disappoint-
ment, as she steadily grew
worse. She was a woman uni
versally loved by all for her
sunshiny disposition, her kind
ness of heart and her bright in
|tellect, and the announcement
of her death will cause sorrow
among our people generally.
Her husband and son and
daughter were with her at the
hour of her death. The re-
mains are on the way to Logan,
Ohio, where they will be buried
in the family lot in that city.
Mr.. Carlisle and children have
the sympathy of their large
circle of friends in this city in
this their hour of greatest
grief.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. K. Demmon
of Norfolk are in the Valley
the guest of Mrs. Demmon's
parents for a few days.
Mrs. z. 7. Noyes and Mrs.
Geo. A. Kellogg are in Omaha
today.
Mrs. Mike Fitzgibbons is the
guest of Omaha friends today.
Mrs. Jane Jones is the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. e. Owens
for a week.

Ladies Organizs for Work

Ladies Organizs for Work.
Yesterday afternoon, accor-
ding to appointment, the ladies
of Missouri Valley met at Il e
Opera House to organize "The
Missouri Valley Improvement
League" land proceeded to folm
a permanent organization.
The meeting was called to
order, and the Committee on
Constitution submitted their re-
port, which was accepted, and
then the League proceeded to
receive signatures to the Con-
stitution, and 81 ladies became
members in regular form.
The League then proceeded
to the electionof officers, which
resulted as follows:
Mrs. H. O. Heckert, Pres.
Mrs. C. A. Davis, LIST V. Pres.
Mrs. T. j. Hennessey, End.
Mrs. C. C. Lahman, 3rd.
Mrs. A. II. Sniff, Secretary.
Mrs. Lizzie Linsley, Treas.
The membership is the lar
gest ever secured by any socie-
ty, lodge or order, on its first
meeting, which is a good show
ing and insures permanency and
success, and Mo. Valley should
feel proud of this League of
ladies who have formed a soci-
ety for the betterment and ur.,
building of our city, and every
lady in town should become a
member Immediately; and it
might be a good plan to make a
few gentlemen honorary mem
bers so as to have some help
in doing the heavy work Of the
League.
The regular meetings of the
League will be held on the first
Thursday in each month, ard
as it is strictly a City Improve
ment association, it would he
the proper thing to do for the
City Council to tender them
the use of the Council Chamber
as a place of their meetings.
We are proud of the public
spirit which has been menifes-
ted by our ladies, and feel con-
fident that great good will re-
suit to the city from this organ
ization, and expect to see every
one give help and encourage
ment to their every effort to
improve and beautify the town.
