ness from tubercular peritonitis was
mentioned in these columns last week,
passed away at the Samaritan Hospital

before. She was brought to the hos
pital on Monday, the..3rd.

county, Nebraska, August z, 1886.
There she lived until she was about
fourteen years of age, when the family
moved to Greeley county. There the
family lived until six years ago. when
they came to Dickey county and settled
near Clement. She was of family of
thirteen children born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Pcrlenfein. A brother died in
infancy. All other members of the
family survive.
The funeral was held yesterday at

Yule as "Belch." !"

"Sir Toby Belch," the jolly and
bibulous, the bluffiing and clustering
trouble maker, around whom Shakes
peare's ideal comedy. Twelfth
Night" was written, is proving the
most congenial role ever enacted by
MIR. Yule, the popular comedian, well
and favorably known in this territory.
His unctious humor is infectious, and
his happy-go-lucky laugh finds ready
response in every audience. Twelfth
Night will be presented at the opera
house April 9th by company of ex-
perienced players including Miss Violet
Eddy, the winsome young actress
whose Rosalind last season is still a
pleasant memory. A handsome and
elaborate scenic and costume equip
ment is carried.

Happy Reunion.

The Irwin family held reunion in
the private gallery of the Casino last
evening. It has been their custom to
have an annual feed or gathering for
years past, save in the interim of the
past five years, or since Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Irwin and their daughters Nellie
and BLANCHE, came to California. Their
reunion last evening, however, served
as revivaEof their olden custom Of
annually gathering together for good
time, which they. certainly had on this
occasion. Of course there was the
customary off-hand speech and recital
of reminiscent stories and congratula-
tions in number sufficient to fill all the
family requirements in this particular

the occasion. OF course. the numerous
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin were
present in spirit and enjoyed the good
cheer that pervaded the atmosphere
throughout the proceedings.

The framework of the Vinkle House
is still standing, but the inerior is very
badly damaged from fire, smoke and
water.
1t looked for awhile as if the fire
would get beyond control, but heroic
work for two hours pn the part of the
fremen and citizens saved the building
from total wreck as well as saved the
adjoining property.
The fire started few minutes before
six o'clock on Tuesday morning.
Everything was still around the hotel.
The night clerk, Don Burrows, about
$50 shook the fire in the kitchen range
and had gone to arouse the cook and
kitchen girls to get breakfast. When
he returned to the kitchen the ceiling
and partition in the back part of the
kitchen was on fire. Hand grenades
were used to try and extinguish the
blaze. and about five minutes after six
the fire alarm was sounded.
People came focking from every di-
Iection and the first thing that required
attention was to see that the human
beings were saved.
One girl from the third story
to saveher. She had raised the window
and was tossing out clothing and the
next thing we expected to see was to
throw herself to the ground.
Encouraging words were sent her
from below, until a ladder came-a
short ladder at that-but willing hands
held it high aloft while she climbed on
it and was carried to safety.

1t was| |getting decidedly warm in the
northeast corner and the fire had
broken well into I. S. Bunker's billiard
parlors. Everything in the place was
soon on the street.
At first the firemen worked excitedly,
but after an hour they settled down te
good effective work and had the fire
completely out by eight O'Clock. The
wind was quite favorable. It blew
quite a gale from the south for awhile,
but was quite calm by; the time the fire
was under control.

Chorals M ade Merry.

IL was d JOIly UuHCH IHdC RdILeIeu dL
the city hall on Monday evening to
celebrate the monthly social evening of
the Choral Club in amusements, in
feasting and in song; and the novelty
of the place added to the enjoyment of
the occasion.
Roll call, as usual, was responded to
with quotations, this particular even
ing being devoted to Whittier. Roll
call was noteworthy, too, in that sew
eral quotations brought to light re-
markable sayings of the famous poet
which were evidently discovered in his
unpublished works. AT its close, the
company was entertained with a violin
solo by Mr.. Becker, who responded to
a hearty encore.
By request. each of the guests came
representing some particular song, the
guessing of which was instructive and
amusing. Many of the representations
were both simple and unique. Who
should not have known, for instance,
that certain happy-go-lucky young
man in, plain clothes, wearing the
''smile that won't come off," could be
none other than tJimmie"?-yet few
did. And the gentlemen are not sure
yet whether the Young lady who ap-
peared so surprisingly aged acciden-
tally got the powder in her hair, or
whether her hair was suddenly turned
to beautiful sil5ery gray by fright,
being SO ''Afraid to go home in the
dark" from the Choral Club without an
escort.
A novel amusement of the evening
was afforded by arranging the guests
in groups of six, each of which was re-
quired to write within few moments
words which would fit some particular
song, and later to sing the words to
the particular air. The concert which
followed was worth the price Of ad-
mission, and the songs would make a
valuable addition to any musical col
lection. Space will not permit the
publication of all of the songs at this
time. We might, however, as nearly
as we caught the words, give the first
stanza and the chorus to 'My Old
Cakes Home" (Air-"My Old Ken
lucky Honey which was unanimously
conceded worthy of the first prize, and
which, it is suspected, was not written
by mere man:
