A LOVING HEART
STOPS BEATING
FORMER SUPERVISOR DAN MCCRATH DIES
SUDDENLY AT CHARTER OAK
WAS A MAN OF MUCH FORCE
His Keen Intellect. Kindly Heart and Well
Known Honesty Made Him
Greatly Beloved.
Especial from Charter Oak correspondent)

Our community was shocked last
Saturday morning by the news Of
the sudden death of our citizen,
Daniel McGrath.
On Friday night about eight
o'clock after an illness of only fifteen
or twenty minutes the heart of the
husband and father who scarcely ever
gave cross word to his family, refus-
ed to do its work and the man who
has lived among us so long was no
more. His friends were unprepared for
the news Of his death because that
very afternoon he was upon the street
and in the store, apparently as we'll as
any man could be. The family called
Dr.. McWilliams very soon after he
began to feel ill. but there was no
help for him and he passed away in
a few minutes.
Father Schenkelberg was with him
during his last minutes to administer
the last rites of the church and to
comfort the wife and children. The
funeral services were held Monday
morning at nine O'Clock in the City
Hall which. since the destruction of
their building by fire is the home of
the church. Rev. Father Schenkel-
berg oficiated at the service and in
terment made in the Cathol ic ceme-
terry.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and many arrived too late for the
funeral.
Many friends from all parts of the
county and elsewhere followed the
body to its last resting place.

these things combined make Denison
a desirable shopping center and the
next seven shopping days before
Christmas will be busy ones indeed.
So far as possible the Denison peo-
pie should do their trading in the
forenoon. They can get better serv-
ice then. with more leisure to look at
goods and they ought to give the peo-
pie from the country and from other
towns the right of way in the after
Moons. After today the stores will
keep open evenings and this will be
another good time for Denison shop
pers.
We had intended to mention the
bargains offered more in detail, but
space will not permit. Suffice it
to say that dry goods stores, grocer
les. toy shops. drug stores, jewelry
stores, furniture stores. hardware
stores, candy stores. shoe stores.
clothing stores. photographers, in
fact one and all are striving as
never before to display their goods
and to offer the public the best
bargains. The streets of Denison
present lively happy scene and
you ought to be among the jolly
shoppers bent on Chistmas cheer
and having for your motto, "It ia
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.'

The joyful news to all persons go

from the Northwestern company that
it will in the next sixty days erect
suitable shelter on the south depot
platform. This has been need for
years. indeed since the road insisted
hat passengers going west "cross

seen women with little children oblig-
ed to leave the trian in a pouring rain,
and then have to stand on the plat
form until the train went out. with
no protection. The trains are vesti-
buled and the regulations to the em-
ployes such that they could not let
passengers alight on the side next
to the depot and thus get soon under
shelter. We have stood with other
passengers on that south platform
with a blizzard blowing, the cold
penetrating through and through.

over" The train had not made the
time it should. aud he was not at
fault. On looking back the situation
presents good example of what the
public will bear in the way of incon-
venience. and not make an outcry.
Our late agent. Mr.. Mahoney, has
been bringing the matter up ut inter-
walls to the officials but with no sue
cess AS he was about to retire and
feeling that his stand with the COM
pany would certainly warrant. he
sent in an urgent demand calling at
tention to the needs of Denison for a
shelter for west bound passengers.
The reply came that it would be done
in the spring. He replied that the
improvement should be made at once.
and received the answer that "suit-
able shelter" would be built in sixty
days.
