FUNERAL OF
MRS. p. H. ROURKE. =.

Lisbon Free Press: The cpmmun-
ity was shocked early Monday morn
ing by the announcement that Mrs.
P. H. Rourke, wife of the United
States district attorney, was dead.
1t seemed to cast a pail over every
one, especially, her near and dear
friends, by it suddenness, and to
make the event even yet sadder, her
husband was on duty at Fargo, on an
important lawsuit, not aware Of the
seriousness of the case, as for the
past few days it was deemed she was
convalescent.
Her spirit winged it's fight to the
Great Beyond about 1870 a. M, Mon
day morning. November 10Th, 1909.
She awoke, complaining of difficulty
in breathing and with severe pains in
the region of her heart. The nurse
summoned Doctor Patterson, and
Mrs. Hendricks came soon after, but
the dear mother and wife lived but
a short time, expiring from heart
failure. Up to the climax she had
felt better and was believed to be
improving, but Providence willed 1t
otherwise. Mrs. Rourke had been in
very poor health, and for several
weeks was confined to her bed, but
her family and friends had hardly
considered the case serious, yet she
was provided the best medical atten-
ton and a trained nurse to assist in
recovering from what was deemed
nervous prostration.
Mrs. P. H. Rourke, nee, Rose Mir
lam Gardner, was born at Edwards,
New York, October 18, 1870, and
grew to young womanhood in the
east, leaving with her parents for
Lisbon, North Dakota, in the year
1888. She taught in the Lisbon high
school during 1891 and 1892 till June,
her father having engaged in the
mercantile business.
She was united in marriage to P.
Fl. Rourke June IS, 1892, in Lisbon.
She is survived by her husband to
whom she was devoted, two sons,
Curran and Grattan and young
daughter, Mary.
Mrs. Rourke as young lady, was
intelligent, gracious and attractive
and these qualities after marriage de-
veloped into a matron1y charm of
manner that made her queen in the
social realm. She was most devot-
ed wife and mother and her words
of cheerfulness and her great love of
home and children rendered her in
fluence particularly sustaining to her
husband.
The funeral was held from the res
idence on Ash boulevard, Wednesday,
December 1st, at o'clock p. m.
The south room contained the cas-
ket which was literally covered with
flowers, as was also the room. White
roses predominated, with lilies, car
nations and red roses in abundance.
There were many beautiful set
pieces, those particularly worthy Of
mention were from the bar of Lisbon
and the United States officials at
Fargo. the Eastern Star and other So
cieties and clubs. Flowers, the de-
ceased loved SO much and had SO
deity arranged for other friends
gone before were now profusely law
ished upon her lifeless form, express
ing the sweetness of her character.
Rev. G. F.. Bronson, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, paid a high tri-
butte. clothed in beautiful imagery, to

.SAkAKAWEA STAMPS
Are To BE SOLD
MONEY WILL BE USED TO PAY
DEFICIT DUE ON SAkAKA-
WEA STATUE.
WEA STATUE.
Not in Any Way Rival to Sale OF
Red Cross Stamps Will Be Put
in rs Cent Books.

A new Christmas stamp Is making
its appearance on the Christmas
market, the Sakakawea stamp. The
following statement of the cause has
been sent out by Mrs. Anidon, chair
man of the committee in charge Of
raising funds for the statue:
The women of the; state decided at
the Valley City fere1ation meeting to
raise this year the last thousand dol
lars for the Sakakawea statue. They
have named next October as the time
for unveiling the statue on the CAPT
toll grounds at Bismarck. Mr.. Crun-
ellie, the sculptor. has promised to be
present. Special invitations will be
sent to contributors, the whole state
will be invited, and North Dakota
will set apart the day to conHmemor-
ate the pioneer whose spirit the stat
ue typifies.
To meet the deficit, it was voted at
Valley City to sell a Christmas stamp
throughout the state. 1t is to be un-
derstood by the public that there is
no rivalry in this sale of stamps for
different causes. The group of wo-
men who are working for this Christ
mas sale are believers both in health
and patriotism and will use otkthe
stamps to seal their gifts and ID ers.
Christmas is a time for CIVIL to
more than one cause. Their has
been a steady pressure since Yearly
October to secure this stamp, owing
to the seasonal rush Of work at the
Autograph houses. 1t is a beautiful
design, red, green and gold, and hav-
ing our state emblem, the wheat
sheaf. 1t will be put UP for sale in
rs cent booklets, and in sheets per-
forated and gummed like postage
stamps. The booklets will sell for
rs cents: the stamps in sheets for
penny each.
These stamps may be secured on
and after December 10 from the fol-
lowing members Of the Sakakawea
committee:
Mrs c.. F. Amidon, Fargo.
Mrs. L. w. Gammons, Minot.
Mrs. Walter Stoclowell, Bismarck

And now if Won wish 10 try a new
dish, and al the same time DISPOSE of

The Italians. l find. are also very
fond Of it, and it is really very tasty.
IN Turkey, Philip says. the purslane
is cultivated and grows much larger
