went on with the duty of burying the

wood. A cortege of twenty funeral
cars then started for the burying
ground. A band met the procession
near the gates and led the way, play

Army assisted in the services at the
graves. Thousands of people wit
messed these final services and one
hundred policemen were detailed to
preserve order.

mite understanding that the prices to
be paid by pupils for the books were
as low as the same editions were sold
for anywhere. The statement that
lower prices were valuable anywhere
than are raid by the Rock Island
school patrons for the same books is
questioned by our school authorities.
1t is claimed by the book houses that
the books sold in Kansas, Ohio and
other states are of an inferior edition
containing fewer pages, less subject
matter, made on cheaper stock and
with poorer binding.
IF equally good textbooks are avail

be the disposition of our board of edu-

At the time of their marriage
Waugh told Miss Tanner he had in

had purchased his liberty from the
Cruiser California Afterward she
learned that his liberty was obtain
ed by telling the officers of the Cal
