enough evidence in his poss 9ssion to
authorize his arrest which was done
by constable jolly. The negro is now

versary Of General Robert E. Lee
The Okolona chapter U. D. c. were
indeed fortunate in being accorded the
privilege Of using this home. 1t has
been customary heretofore 20 have the
memorial services at some public hall,
but for a change a private home was
selected. Everybody was extended a
hearty welcome.
The exterior of the house " as beau
tifully decorated with Confederate
colors and flags; the interior being so
beautiful and appropriately furnished,
very little decoration was needed, but
Lee occupied his place on the wall
and was honored with Confederate
drapings, AT an early hour the crowd
began to arrive. The exercises were
opened with a most impressive preyer
by Rev. N. j. Burt. Next on pro-
gramme (which was introduced by
one Of Okolonas most gallant boys,
Master Robt, Harrell) was How firm
foundation, Lee S favorite hymn, by the
choir. Misses Harper and Whiteside,
and Mrs. M. R. Waller did themselves
credit with their musical and birdlike
voices in solos. and were beautifully
assisted by Mrs Abernethy, Miss
Hilary Ward Messrs. Clark, Fitzgerald
and Abernethy in the chorus.
Mrs. D. F. Morgan presided at the
piano With the grace, ease and dignity
that is always characteristics fine per-
former. Mrs. James Gordon gave
recitation, (original with Col. Gordon,
and based on facts,) which was most
heartily appreciated and gracefully
and beautifully rendered. Rev. Robt. |
Clark, pastor of M. E. church,
gave reading on the life and char
acter Of Lee, which could not be sur
passed in compilation or oratory.
Col. James Gordon, also favored
The crowd with a song, playing his
own accompaniment on the guitar,
which was highly appreciated and en-
oyed. After enjoying a we'll planned
which was made by Miss
trma Harper, the visitors and daugh-
ers were ushered into the dining hall
which beamed with Oriental lanterns
and candles that gave dazzling briIliancy
o the gold fish which swan to and
no in an aquarium forming center
piece for the handsomely draped table.
Delightful refreshments we're served
to the visitors and
] daughters by Mrs. Frank Harrell and
he chapter president Mrs. Walter
Smith. These ladies were gracefully
assisted in serving by Mesdames
Ihas. Day, Dale SAMSON and Frances
Abbott.

GIRL RUNS THIS FUNERAL.
Child of Twelve Brooks No Interior.
ence with Mothers Obsequies.


New York.-A girl of H. ordering
affairs Of life and death and assuming
responsibility with determination
which would make the average person
of more than twice her years pause,
has given the residents of Vineland,
N. j., much occasion for thought and
wonderment these last few days.
The child is Gladys Hoffman, whose
mother, Madeline Hoffman, committed
suicide at Vineland by drinking poi
son. Since her mothers death the
girl has insisted successfully in hav.
ing absolute charge of everything con
nected with her parents, funeral and
estate.
When the woman's body was pre-.
pared for burial the child stipulated
that the body must rest in white
satin-lined coffin. When her aunt, Mrs.
Sarah Fry would have interfered,
Gladys not only brushed her aside,
but prohibited her from attending the
funeral.
A brother Of Mrs. Hoffman appeared
in Vineland and sought to take
charge Of Mrs. Hoffman's affairs. He
was brought up by his niece with q
round turn. When he objected the
child was sustained by Dr.. George
Cunningham Of Vineland who tried to
save Mrs. Hoifman's life and who
had been friend Of the woman and
child.

Details of Terrible Affair
In Wyoming Increase
FrightfuI Extent of the
Great Disaster
Official Family Of Oper-
atives is Wiped Out A.
long With 62 Others

HANNA. Wyo.. March s1.-The
bodies of only five of the So miners
and mine officials killed in ill fated
mine No. ] of the Union Pacific Coal
company by the two explosions Sat
urday, have been recovered. Other
bodies will probably not be reached
for several days. The widows and
orphans are being cared for and there
is no destitution.
The local lodges of Knights OF
Pythias. Odd Fellows and United
Mine Workers of America today met
and made arrangements to bury their
dead members and provide for the
stricken families.
The official force of the three local
mines was completely wiped out by
the disaster. From Superintendent
Briggs and his three foremen down
to the gas watchers, stable bosses and
others, all are dead. and complete
reorganization of the working force
will be necessary.
The entire official family of the
United Mine Workers also is en-
rolled on the roster of the dead. Two
of the women who lost husbands In
this disaster were also made widows
by the calamity at the same mine FIVE
years ago.
The entrances of the mine where
the dead miners are entombed have
been sealed. and until the fire Is
smothered or some method is de-
vised for lifting the lethal gases,
which fill the workings, and 1t be-
comes possible to go down and fight
the flames at close quarters. no ef-
fort to enter the mine will be made.
for certain death undoubtedly would
await those who dared venture.
Meanwhile great forces of men are
laboring at both entrances, removing
wreckage. So titanic were the blasts
of burning gas that the lining of the
slopes was stripped and hurled forth
to fall in fragments over a wide ex-
panse of prairie. Timbers as large
as telegraph poles were thrown .000
feet from the pit.

ELY COUNCIL CLAM0RS
FOR MORE CLEANLINESS
Wants the Marshal to Get Busy With Arrests Much
Noise With Little Result Town Cleaner Than
Ever, Says Officer Sewer and Other Matters

Stormy to some degree was the
meeting of the city council last even
ing. Councilmen Root and Carbon
charging City Marshal Hudgens with
having neglected his duty in not hav-
ing made arrests of property holders
of Ely who have failed TO clean up
their premises. Hudgens heatedly
repudiated the suggestions of the
city fathers. declaring that the Off
GERS were doing all in their power to
enforce the ordinance in question.
The matter was brought TO focus
by Root reporting for the sanitary
committee that many business
houses instead of aiding in cleaning
up their premises as they should, are
guilty of willful neglect, especially
in the case of houses which abut on
the alley between Aultman and Ly-
ons. In this alley the city scayenger
service has been working for some
time, but people have continued to
throw debris and filth into the chan
mel of the ditch which traverses the
alley about as fast as cleaned. He
stated that a reward of $40 had been
offered for the arrest and conviction
of each and every person guilty of
this practice Root concluded by
stating that more cleanliness was
needed and intimated that the officers
we're neglecting their duty in this
respect Hudgens at once answered
him by saying that he was doing all
that he could. There is only one
man engaged in the work of cleaning
hn
plete the labor in a day.
Root-"Were you not ordered to
arrest any persons who did not clean
their premises after due notice had
been served on them?"
Hudgens-'I was. But after | had
gone to the property owners and they
promised to clean up as soon as the
man engaged in the work of cleaning
up got to them, l had nothing to do
but wait There is not another pnan
in town who will do it."
Hudgens then asked Root if Ely
is not in the most sanitary condition
