from that hour until his death. every
attention was gwen that could he
from doctor, parents and friends.
His trouble was spinal meningitis.
Althou oh so yeung he is greatly
missed in the home and in the com
munity with the neighbors, his gentle
playful disposition, made him at
tractive. Whether these neighbors
had children or not he seemed to
receive a hearty welcome. With his
own father and mother, he was looked
upon as indispensable to their happi-
ness. He was the only child, often
the mothers only associate, the
father being a farmer and out at his
work. The happiness he brought
her she could not tell, the fathers
duties often made it so, he was in
the home for days, only a little at a
time except for meals and sleep.
When the father came 10 from his
work, though we'll nigh exhausted,
here came Kearney to drive away the
tired feeling aud cause it to be for
gotten by his playfuluess and glee.
Though he meant so much because
IF these things, there was another
cause for the deem sorrow. Kearney
was the only child and their hearts
were filled with true parents love,
such as that which ought to gil Of
every parent and it was the going
out of light indeed. Oh, how a
heart thus smItten bleeds! But there
is one relief-The Lord gave. We
and all we have, we're given by Him,
He taketh away. He never calls
for His own except to homes superior
in every way, to homes held here.
Do we live in the cottage here. He
makes us live in the palace there!
Do we have companions here weak
and sinful? Even so but there they
are strong and many pure. Do we
have here our sickness, sorrow and
disappointment But there a ply
sic'an who wards off all disease,
comforter who keeps SORROW the thing
Of the past and of the world. and
Master who directs against every
disappointment.

us remember that with him it is far
better that he is gone and let MS

once to make out specifications for
rebuilding the exchange He is ex-
pected here today or tomorrow.
The exchange will be rebuilt en-

early today that it would be impos
sible to carry out any of the outdoor
features of the celebration and early
in the day il was announced that
there would be no attempt to parade
along the muddy streets, to hold the
open air meeting at the city park, or
to have the program at the fair
grounds this afternoon. The only
features in which no change had to
be made were the Labor Day ball and
the public marriage which occur this
evening at the Auditorium
The parade would have been one of
the largest ever seen here, not less
than 1000 men, and numerous We
hicles, musical organizations, floats,
etc. would have been in line.
Early in the day Orson Adams,
owner of the Park opera house, and
Edwin A Haskell, manager of the
Park opera house. notified the union
men that the two gentlemen would
donate the use of the Park opera
house to the union labor men of
Grand Junction for their public meet
ing or exercises. The kind offer of
Messrs. Adams and Haskell was at
once accepted with thanks and it was
announced that the meeting that was
to have been held in the city park
would take place at the Park opera
house at l O'Clock this afternoon.
