FELL DEAD AT WORK.

Last Friday morning, while at his
work plastering a building, at Mil
waukee and Colfax, death came to
Robert Neeley, instantaneously from
heart trouble Without the slightest
premonition or suffering, he was
called from labor to reward, even the
men working with him knowing moth
ing of his illness and attracted to his
condition only by not hearing the
sound of his trowel in the adjoining
room His funeral services were held
Tuesday from Shorter Church, under
the auspices of Rocky Mountain
Lodge of Masons, of which he was a
member. Rev. Ward preached, TAX
ing his theme from the instructive les
son taught by the life of the deceased,
by being ready for the final summons,
even though no warning was given.
Many floral tributes were given by
sympathizing friends, and the bereav-
ed widow and brother, Harvey Neeley

ton that could come from earthly
nands. Interment was at Fairmount.

SODA DISPENSERS MAKE A HIT.

There may be imitators, there even
may be equals. but the Soda Dispen-
sers have no superiors. Their annual
ball at East Turner hall Thursday
night carried the mind back few
wears to their first, when they astonish-
ed the natives with the lavish decora
tlons, the. free supper and the good
time. This year was a rival to the
first in the effectiveness with which
they pleased the public. Your money
was counterfeit after you were once in
hall Soda, coffee, chicken salad,
sandwiches, ice cream and cake, can
dies, all were there and even cigars.
The Soda Dispensers are fortunate in
having the best of caterers in the city
as members, and their ideas in decora-
tions in service and their pleasant
Dersonality, made this ball the pooh

MRS. W. A. JONES ENTERTAINs AT
AUTUMN FETE.

Never before has so much pleasure
been crowded into one evening, as was
when Mrs. w. A. Jones of Marion
street had many of the young people
at her home last Friday night There
were thirty-six young couple present
and the feature of the evening were
the new autumn stunts introduced
into Denver society by the merry max
ers. Various games and other amuse
ments were greatly INDUCED in. The
maids of honor were Misses Geraldine
,routman and Mabel Burns; matrons
of honor were Mesdames j. n. Jack
son and j. B. Harris; chaperons were
Mesdames c. l.. Casey and w. A.
Jones. While this event was especial
" in honor of Howard McGinnis' birth
day, yet the affair was so glorious that
the main feature was now and then
forgotten Mrs. Jones crowned her
self with great credit in her social
proclivities.

FALLINGS LUCKY MAN.

Although this is at election time
and although all the merits and de,
merits of men are exposed to public
gaze, we think we ought to take time
enough to speak of the signal honor
given by the State Executive to us By
the appointment of A. G. Fallings, one
of our leading men of the west, as
Colorado's representative to, the Ma
tional Negro Fair Association, to be
held in Mobile, Ala, in the fall OF
1909. Mr.. Fallings is well qualified to
represent Colorado, as his experience,
broadened by his collegiate training
has clearly demonstrated his ability
in other things before.
