The funeral OF May G. Machell was
held in the M. p. church, last Wednes-
day, at 2 O'Clock p. NJ, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. Thomas Hooper,
who delivered very appropriate sermon.
Miss Machell died Feb. 2S, 1909, of ty-
phoid fever, at the age Of 81 years, not
withstanding all that medical aid and
willing hands could do. The end came
peacefully, when she closed her dear,
loving eyes in that last long sleep that
knows no awakening, and puts forever
at an end our Joys and our hopes, our
ambitions and our miseries. She is sur
vived by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Machell, of this place; two broth
ers, VIM. Machell, OF Carbondale and
Samuel, OF Scranton; and two sisters,
Mrs. Walter Moules, OF Seelyville, and
Alice, at home.
Those who attended the funeral from
out OF town were Mrs. Charles Pregnall,
of Newton, N. j.; Miss Moerling, oi
Phillipsburg, N. j.; Mrs. Hensey and
Miss Lillian Hensey, OF Seelyville, anC
Miss Alice Owen, also of Seelyville, who
is trained nurse, and had charge o.
the case.
The flowers were many and beautiful
the casket being completely covered, al
was most OF the altar. The interment
was made in the M. P. cemetery. The
pail bearers were Harry Frisbie, Harry
Ward, Myrel Shaffer, Charles VanSickle

we'll as local officers are planning to
attend it and receive instruction. None
of the lore of the society which it is
required that each member know, is
written and all instruction must be by
word of mouth Accordingly the order
has found it advisable to hold schools
of instruction at which the officers Of

deputy grand masters can become pro-
ficient in the secret work. A like
school of instruction was held in this
city four years ago, but there has been
none since. Rock Island lodge and

ing that there are practically no ar
guments in favor of the latter In the
first place, it is time-saver, with a
gain rather than loss of certainty of
having the order understood. The 81
Offices in the Illinois division can all
be called in the space Of half min
ute in case such need should arise,
while with the telegraph probably half
an hour would have to be taken.
Every order can be repeated back to
the sender. every word spelled out,
and an absolute certainty of having
the order understood gained by using
the telephone. and still not as much
time be taken as would be necessary
for using the telegraph for like duty.
Another very important advantage is
that in case of necessity an engineer
can be given his orders direct to pre-
vent misunderstanding, and enough de-
tail can be given without consuming
too much time, to make the motions
of the different trains perfectly clear
to the men who are running them.

To Drain the Pond.
Two plans for draining the Thirty
eighth street pond were presented by
resolutions, one offered by Alderman
Blochlinger and the other by Alder
man El!inwood. Alderman Blochlinger
proposed that the superintendent of
waterworks lay Pinch iron pipe un-
der the street to drain the pond, and
Alderman Ellinwood proposed the con-
struction of a 3-fOot concrete culvert
and offered a resolution that plans
specifications and estimates be prepar-
ed The city engineer, mayor, and
some of the aldermen pointed out that
a 12-inch pipe would be ample, and
that the pond is included in the west
section of the Seventh ward storm
drain, anyway. The concrete work
would cost considerable money, and
Alderman Ellinwood did not seem able
to convince the body of the council
that the expense would be justified
! The two resolutions, however, were
referred to the waterworks committee

Statement of Funds.
The city clerk submitted report
showing the condition of the several
funds. The report was called for re
, Gently by some of the aldermen who
desired information as 10 the balances
available for certain purposes. 1t was
received and placed on file.
The ordinance making it an offenst
for plumbers to make connections witt
city water mains and permit the water
to be turned on without first notifying
the city clerk, was adopted by unani
nous vote. The ordinance, which wa!
submitted some time ago, provides
heavy penalty for violation of tn,
terms. The clerk has much difficult,
in securing information of water con
nections, due to the practice of som,
plumbers of making connections with
out giving notice to the authorities.
Want Stone Cut Here.
The council will use it's influence t.
have the stone for the new postoffic
addition cut in Rock Island, in accord
ance with the request of the ston
cutters union. The council adopted
resolutions, to be forwarded to Con
gressmen Mckinney and Dawson, re
questing that they use their efforts t,
see tina, the work is done here. Othe
bodies in the three cities will TAX
like action.
An ordinance to establish a grad

Minnie V. Simmons.

1t has pleased Almighty God to take
from our midst our beloved daughter,
Minnie Viola, whom we loved so dear
ly She carried sunshine and laugh
ter wherever she went Oh, how we
miss her! No more shall we hear the
fall of her footsteps, or her cheering
words of consolation, for her voice is
hushed in death and her spirit has
gone to the God who gave it; her soul
is anchored in the Heaven of rest
where there is no more sickness, sor-
row nor death. Her little body rested
in the vault at Greenwood Cemetery
for nine weeks. She was quietly laid
to rest Sunday, February IA, 1909,
where she will be disturbed no more.
We mourn her loss, believing that the
