The people of this city were shocked
Sunday to learn of the sudden deaf b
of Mrs. Amelia Richards which occurr-
ed shortly after three o'clock The
cause of her death was heart failure
She had complained little the day
before but her illness apparently was
not of "A serious nature. The deceased
came to Red Cloud last fall to live
with her daughters who are teaching
in our public schools and since her
residence here has made many friends.
Amelia Richards nee Hoskins was
born in Cambourne, England in 1874
came to Dodgeville, Wisconsin in ls4s
and in 1861 united in marriage with j
5. Richards. In 1878 they moved to
Ayr, Nebraska where for twenty five
years they engaged in the mercantile
business. Short service will be held
at the home tomorrow morning at 7:3O
after which the body will be taken to
Ayr for interment. Rev. Tompkins
will have charge of the services and
the Rebekah lodge will conduct the
funeral rites at the grave.
The deceased is survived by two
brothers, b A. Hoskins, Mineral Point

Chief Clerk Richmond of the Neb,
raska House Of Representatives has
very senaibly broken another prcce.
dent, He sensIhly broke one when he
declined To appoint any member Of the
fair sex to lerll'ships in his office Il
want work, not conversation matches, -
remarked Richmond. If | appoint
any pretty women as clerks all the old
ducks in the legislature will be forever
chinnin9 them. But who wants to sit
down and have Il tlirtation with male
biped who is probably smoking an
o1iferous pipe or chewing tinecut to-
baccoP' And the Richmond position
vindicated itself early in the game
Now he comes along with another sen
sible move. Instead of rspea ting the
