DEATHS DOINGS.
CHAPMAN,

On Tuesday morning, February 2nd,
1909 just as the sun was driving the
darkness away, Mrs. LoVINIE CHAP
MAN, beloved wife of Almeron Chap
man, of Spokane, Wash, bade her low
ed ones good night and took her
journey to the ''morning land"
About three years ago our sister bade
good bye to her husband and two
daughters to join her son in Spokane.
The other members of the family soon
followed her. A few days before her
death she told her pastor the incident
and said, 81 am going TO that other
fore the others, but they will soon fol-
low me there and we will be united for
ever. / am so eager to 60" But few
months ago sister Chapman under
went severe operation and for while
she seemed to be better than ever. She
visited one of her daughters in Wenat-
chee, at the time of the annual confer
ence, but soon after her return began
to fail. She was ready to 60. Her
life had been of the kind that leaves no
regrets to either the one going or those
left behind About week before her
death, her pastor and the children
sang for nearly two hours, the old
songs of the home land, she joining
with her weak voice III the songs.
During her last days she suffered great
pain and only the songs of Zion SEEM
ed to have power to ease her One
day when they spoke about the doc
tors she said, speaking to her pastor,
"These doctors cannot help me. Only
DR.. Hill can do me any good"
Sister Chapman was born in Tioga
county, N. Y, Nov. s, 1S47, and died
at the age of sixty-one years, one
month and twenty-five days. Beside
her husband, three children mourn
her loss and rejoice in having been
blessed by her life Mrs. Georgia L.
Othmer, of Spokane Mrs. Sadie M.
Wilson, of Wenatchee, Wash, and
Clark G. II. Chapman, of Spokane.
She is safe home at last. The funeral
took place from the residence Wednes-
day, Feb. 4th, at2: 80 p. M, the pas
tor of st. Paul's Methodist Church,
where she had been a member ever
since coming to this city, officiating.
A splendid quartette from this church
sang her favorite hymns aud her many
friends brought beautiful floral tri-
butes. Let me die the death of the
righteous" L. NJ. II.

"a Texas Ranger"

The greatest Western play of the
past three years, "A Texas Ranger''
will be the attraction at the Opera
House Saturday night, Feb. goth, and
comes to our city direct from series
of packed houses in all the principal
cities in the State. While the manage
ment is rather reticent in revealing the
details of the plays story for fear of
robbing the audience of some part of
the pleasure that follows dramatic
surprise it is given ont that the play
follows more or less closely episodes
that have occurred in real life. The
cast is capable and the embellishments
are of the best

ALBERT MURRAY was born near Sy-
racuse, N, Y, in 1855. He came to
Emporium in the fall of 1879 and work
ed in the woods for the late Judge l..
T Moore, on West Greek and Moore
Hill was married July 3rd, 1882 to
Miss Katharine Doll, of Shippen To
this union thirteen children were born
two having died in infancy. OF the
eleven living children eight remain at
home. OF this large family, which is
indeed seldom seen in this county, we
give their records, viz Asa, age 25, of
Emporium Allen, age "a, of William,
Ariz.; Richard, age %, of Emporium
Lucetta, 81, of Dents Run, Pa; Lavina,
age 1S, of Emporium Kate, age 16, of
Emporium Riley, age IA, of En-
porium Roberta, age12, of Emporium !;
Martha, age Z, of Emporium Violet,
age 6, of Emporium Grace, age 4, of
Emporium Walter and Bessie dead.
To feed, clothe and educate such a
large family was 10 small task, yet the
parents, who always held the esteem
and love of their children, managed to
always have the family in decent and
presentable appearance, healthy, happy
and well behaved. We have lived for
years as neighbors of the family and
never yet knew one Of the children TO
be engaged in the usual neighborly
petty annOyances. They were always
at home, when others were running
the streets.
Mr., Murray, always OF a robust con-
stitution was a iovial man and took
life as it came. For several years he
served as chief of police, but of late
years he was handy upon all occasions
as trusty man, as was exemplified
when the First National Bank was be-
ing remodeled and a reliable watch
man was necessary. He was selected
because he was fearless, and faithfully
filed the trust When a responsible
man was required for night watchman
at the Jail during the incarceration of
murderer Odell he filled the position
| during the long "watch" and became
greatly attached to his ward and con-
stantly remained with him until the
last. When the Italian murderer of
John Kibe was condemned to death he
was again called and responded. 1t
was while filling this position that he
contracted a severe cold, which ter
| minated in double pneumonia. He re-
fused to give up and go to his bed, re-
| lying on his strong constitution to pull
him through. One week before his
death he gave up and remained at
home. Drs. Bush and Falk tried every
known remedy to check the disease
but without avail. He passed away,
Feb. 10th, 1909, at 4:3O p. M, surround
ed by his family and few friends of
the family.
The funeral took place from NJ. Z.
Church, Saturday afternoon last and
was very largely attended, Rev. j. f.
Anderson conducting the services.
The floral offerings were very beauti-
ful, many pieces coming from friends
residing out of the county. The en-
ployees of the Incandescent Lamp
! Works sent beautiful casket bouquet
of pink carnations, while the K o. T.
M, gave pillow of flowers.
Deceased was a member of the Mac
cabees and carried $1,000 insurance,
which is a God-send to the afflicted
family.
Our citizens, as well as the PRESS,
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
family in their great loss.

TASTE on Swedish Folk Songs" :"

planatory talk preceding each part

Mrs. Swillens would not permit
Mrs. Gilpin to move before she had
paid for certain damages she
