1900, and depart
ed this life in the glorious triumph
of the christians faith August 18th
1908.
The above sets forth in brief the
principal dates in the life of noble
and good christian woman who has
gone from us, and while orr hearts
are wrung by the. sad bereavement
that death has wrought in our midst
yet we weep not as those who have
no hope.
In sketching the life Of the one just
gone from our midst the writer Of these
lines would add his personal testimo-
ny to the worth and value of her for
whom he mourns. Her gentle man
ner and loving disposition and patient
christian example Frightened the lives
OF all who came in contact with her.
Her religion was truly an. experience
wrought in the heart by the Holy Ghost;
her faith God had within 1.-THE element
Of selE-committing trust; hence her
hopes grew brighter with each recur-
ring day 1t is no wonder, then, that
her last hour was full ofpeace.
In the home circle, Sister Harris
combined all the elements Of true
womanly greatness, and it was there
that she shone in all her Respondent
glory. Ii is likewise here that she will
be most sorely missed. To her hus-
band she was true wife and com
panion, tightening his burdens with
her hands and inspiring him to greater
things by her own persistent endeavor.
To her children she was mother with
all that this sacred word implies. Her
scepter Of authority was that Of love,
before which one and all Of her house
hold bowed down. They loved her as
mother because she always filed
mothers place to them. To her friends
she was generous. loving, forgiving;
helpful in distress and hopeful in the
dark hours Of despair. To her church
she was loyal, true and faithful, be-
lieving its doctrines and reincarnatinc
its teachings in her own life. To her
Lord she surrendered Tor service
in any and all places,
Sister Harris fully realized that the
end was near, and with that serenety
Of spirit that only the christian can

OF EYE WHILE DRUNK
For the Disaster Ford Smith Sues
saloon Keeper for Five
Thousand Dollars.

For the loss of an eye in a drunken fight
with two companions, Ford Smith has be-
gun suit in district court for 5000 against
Edward A. Roehrig, the saloon keeper who
sold him and his companions the liquor on
which they became intoxicated.
Smith says he is a Spectator on the
South Omaha market, earning from 500 to
500 a month. The evening of September "a,
he says he went to Roehrig's saloon at f024
North Sixteenth street, and began to drink,
becoming somewhat intoxicated. Bud and
George Weatherford, two brothers, were in
the saloon, and he says they also drank
too much. The three engaged in a fight
in which Smith had his left eye injured
by a kick. A few days later he had the
eye removed. He says he cannot ply his
trade any more and will have to go TO work
at common labor.
He holds the saloon keeper responsible
for selling them liquor enough to become
intoxicated. Both of the Weatherfords have
been indicted by the grand Jury.

Three sites, the location of which is kept

o. Il. Il. Began, vice president of the COM
pany, arrives this afternoon to confer with
Hugo A. Stahl, who has been on the
ground for some days, over the question Of
the site.
That the company is coming is beyond
all question, for announcements to the
trade have been printed and mailed and the
conpany's new letterheads and other sta
tionery rave been prepared. The company
will begin manufacturing operations at

Anderson supplied 1t. He assented to ev-
erything the court said in denunciation Of
him and meekly admitted he ought to be
punished.
After pleading guilty Anderson asked the
court to make the punishment a fine and
give him time in which to pay 1t.
II have a wife and four children to sup
port and l would like to get off as easy as
possible so 1 would have more money for
them"
II am sorry for your family" said Judge
Sears, but 1 can't let that influence me
in this case. Your offense was too grave.
-FOUR actions reflected on every member of
the grand jury and on the administration of
justice In this county and cannot be passed
over lightly. A fine would not meet the
conditions"
aAfter the sentence was imposed Anderson
asked for a stay OF execution, but Judge
Sears refused 20 grant 1t.
Anderson's offense was in connection
with the testimony before the grand jury
Of. Emma Brown. Her evidence implicated
In her downfall a friend of Anderson's.
Anderson met her and sought to Induce her

made improper proposals to her and ac'

What a city needs is a generous flow of
pure water to carry along and away the
sewage which breeds death and disease.
What the system needs for the blood that
is impure Is q purifier that will stimulate
the flow OF the precious fluid, that will
check the impurities and remove them by
the flow of the blood from the system

pain.
Calcium sulphide is the strongest blood

like Christmas or Easter, the trouble conlt
not be obviated in time TO save the day.
The Stahl company, the latest addition
to the long list Of new Omaha manufacture
ing plants. was four6ed in Germany In
1854 by Richard stahl, father OF the three
sons, who. with L. L. Began. are active
in the conduct of the company. Manufac-
turing in America was begun in Ohio IN
1893. The removal to Omaha is caused by
a desire of better shipping facilities and
because the western country is growing
faster than the east. The company will
be the only one. It Is said, between Chi

pipe organs. It makes them as low in
price as $500 and frcm that sum up to
