MORTUARY

Henry, the oldest son of Mrs. Rose
of this place, died on Monday of the
week, near their claim about six
miles northwest of Des Moines. He
was brought to Clayton by friends
and the body prepared for burial.
On Tuesday Mrs. Rose took his re-
mains to their former home near
Pawnee Rock, Kansas, for burial.
Mrs. Rose seems to be having her
portion of grief. Six months before,
to the day, her husband was kicked
by a mule and killed. while away
from home, leaving her with seven
children to care for. She has been
doing the best that could be ex-
pected and since coming here to
send the children to school has had
various things to DO to make a liv-
ing, and at the present time was
keeping bOarders in the west part
of town. On Sunday of the week she
was notified that the boy was sick
with the rheumatism, and on Mon
day she was notified that he was
worse and for her to come. Upon
arriving at the home of Mr.. Sam
Miller, where he had been staying
she found to her grief that the Grim
Monster had come and taken away
the boy. She certainly has the SYM
pathy of the entire city in this her
great bereavement. He died OF
pneumonia.

Sayaqe Home Complete

Mr.. Savage is moving into his new
house this week that he has just
completed in the southeast part of
the city. From those who have
looked this over we have the in
formation that this is one Of the
best in the city and from what we
know of Mr.. Savage, none but the.
best would do at all. One of the
first things that attracted our at
tention on coming to Clayton was
the correct and complete way in
which things were done. The best
is none too good for Clayton.

Railroad Meeting
Corporation Commission, and
cas- Officials meet with
Business Mems ASSN

AS was previously announced, the
Corporation Commission and some
of the officials of the Colorado and
Southern railroad met with some
of the business men of the town at
the Palmer hall on last Saturday
p. NJ. More of the business men of
the town should have been present
as there were things discussed that
were of interest to them and to the
city and the business interests of
the town generally. This is thing
that many of us have a,habit of neg
lecting until such time as there is
proposition up to do some much
needed good for the town and then
we take a few hours off to attend to
duties that we do not care to relate
1t began to look for while that we,
as audience were going to be in
the minority and that the Star Per-
formers were in the majority, both
as to numbers and otherwise. The
meeting was congenial all through
but it did look that when a repre-
sentative body of this nature came
to our town that had to do with
things and conditions every day that
are vital to the personal and general
interests of the town that we as a
body of business men should be
THERE. If we don't do very much,
the effect and the impression is
worth while. AS was previously an
nounced the rate question was un-
der discussion, and to the best Of
our ability, the sense of the meeting
so far as we were concerned was to
the effect that we were glad to let
well enough alone, so far as freight
rates were concerned. Some of us
probably had thought before, others
had not and only found out just
where we were after we had taken
considerable time to kick ABOUT it.
The proposed rate isc not of in
| terest to us here at Clayton at the
=, present time. This will be the con-
b. clusiOn of every man that will take
the time to investigate the rates and
will compare them with the rates
I. proposed by the C.. & S. officials and
the Corporation Commission.
]. There are things that are vital
to the town that could and should
have been discussed, in our opinion,
4 and these are the things that we
!. have overlooked, and allowed to go
by almost un-noticed One of these
J. is the street crossing question and
another is the matter of a new de-
5 pot and some repairs around the
station and things Of this sort in
y cluding track scales, should we have
G met with these men enmasse and
= presented in a reasonable and log
/ ical and emphatic manner, we might
:. have started something.
?. Withal, the meeting was bene-
n fetal one, people and officials be-

The only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emmett Mock passed out Of this life
last Wednesday. The cause of her
death was heart failure brought on
by the after effects of diptheria.
Drs. Daniels and Slack were the at
tending physicians Little Edna was
neighborhood pet in the commun-
ity in which she lived and was an
exceptionally bright child. She was
the idol of her parents heart being
the only daughter in family of five
children. She was the joy and sun
shine of every gathering and en-
deared herself to everyone who
knew her. Her death leaves a vacan-
cy that will not be easily nor soon
filled.
She was laid away in the Greed
cemetery after a short but impress
sive service conducted by the Rev.
Self. To the family and friends we
extend our warmest sympathies and
hope that time and the Giver of all
Good will heal their hearts.

This isn't the conventional way of doing it, Helen, but this ring has been waiting for two long weeks for it's place on your fin ger.' ef
 They wandered some distance from the house. But unfortunately for their tete-a-tete the guests were arriving. Rhinelander, meeting these as well as he could, was compelled to dispatch Spike on a search for Helen.
 Spike, who had lost none of his apti- tude for situations, found her with Storm among the oaks, and in spite of Storms disgusted expression he de livered his imperative message. And. conscience-stricken at having neglect ed her duties as hostess, Helen hurried away.
 Storm, in an exuberance of happi- nesc, watched her go. But another than Spike had seen the happy pair from a distance and watched with en, vious eyes some of their exchanges of affection-that was Seagrue.
 Smoking a cigarette, he walked de liberately to where Storm stood gazing after his departing fiancee. The young railroad man, aware of the sheer or Seagrues face, the moment the lat ter greeted him: You appear to be becoming very friendly with Miss Holmes," he remarked with touch of insolence.
 Storm fired instantly. Why shouldnt t I?' he demanded with equal assurance.
 Rather ambitious" sneered Sea grue. flor a discharged locomotive en- gineer."
 "Seagrue," exclaimed Storm, bis neck swelling in anger, If you knew what thought of you, you'd be glad to be a discharged locomotive engi- neer So you're jealous, are you? We'll, Helen Holmes is going to be my wife, and if you say another word about her or about me" averred Storm, without casting about for fine words, "I'll knock your internal block off. .'
 Seagrue strode toward him in fury. "You impudent rascal, What do you mean by threatening me? Get back to your cab and keep your imperti- hence to yourself"
 Storms arm shot out. The next no ment the two men were engaged in a pitched battle. Spike. at a distance, saw the mix-up, ran to Helen to warn her of the disturbance and hastened away to separate the pair.
 Helen, in her excitement, started af- ter Spike. Rhinelander and others fol lowed. Storm and Seagrue were at it hammer and tongs. The men tore them apart. Storm. furious at his en-

Indoe l, his anger was so uncontrol- able, and to Helen's mind his lack of restra int before her guests so inex- cusable', that she upbraided Storm se- 5erulv Tor his incorporate language.
 Seasrue, dusting his hands with his handkerchief. already had himself un- ter better control It was his oppor. tunity to take advantage Of Storm'g natural but extreme indignation, and ne made the most of the moment by protesting to Helen to excuse Storms fury, but blaming his bad temper for the disturbance. Storm, himself, cooled down by Spike, now tried to make his apologies to Helen.
 But is was too late. Helen would not listen to him. and, turning away with her guests, left Storm with mo- body to sympathize with him but Spik..
 Reaching the tennis courts, some of the guests took up the play, while others. looking back toward the scene of excitement, saw Helen coming over with Seagrue and Rhinelander Reach ing the courts. Helen. instead of stop ping. passed on with Seagrue. Two meu watched them walk away with particular interest: Spike, who seemed deeply concerned with the awkward situation. and George Storm, who now began to feel the full force of Helen's disapprobation.
 For an hour she moved among her guests. accompanied a good part of the time by Seagrue. To tell the truth. it was not wholly by her own desire. As her indignation cooled she began to consider that her lover had some grounds for his ungovernable outbreak and the exploits in which Seagrue had figured in the endeavor to do her and her friends all manner of harm rer

dispatch to Spike and asked him to meet Storm at the station.
 When Spike had gone, Rhinelander, who had been telling Helen of his plans for the future, resumed his sub ject. And Helen." he said, at length, I'm going to make a request of you now that may seem very peculiar. You know, as well as 1 do, how my nephew, Earl Seagrue, has treated both you and me. He has been about as mea- forts to treat him fair. But the fight i- over and we have won. H is my only sisters child She died when he was a mere boy and asked mo, on her death bed, to look after Earl and bc to him what she would have been, had she lived. You knoy. whether I've tried to carry out her injunction: you know what it has cost we in more ways than one: you know as well as anyone that I have been patient with him. '' Helen regarded her friend intently. "Seagrue is going to pieces" Rhine lander went on. q cannot tell you all know: but I know enough to dis tress me very much. I want to help him for my sisters sake, to make a man of himself again, if he will be one. And for this reason-and to show his associates in his prosperous days that his own relatives are not go- ing to turn him down. want you, when your friends whom l have in- vited are here today, to invite him to come, also"
 He saw the grave look on Helen's face. T know that you don't like to do it. It's almost an impossibility to ask you to do it; but bor my sake, Helen, I wish you would" He said no more, but left her alone. It certainly was rather a bitter thing for her. But she knew she owed more than that to her benefactor.
 Rhinelander was quite right. Sea grue had been rapidly going to pieces. He was conferring that day with Ward and with Adams, his servant, concern. ms thOiA dbSuSSCooLui lttCl1pt lo OD- tain possession of the Superstition mine. The slightest mishap to Sea- grue's plans served now to infuriate him to a degree of anger such as he had never previously given way to. He upbraided both the men roundly and dismissed Ward with abuse. Hard ly a moment afterward, a man ap- peared at the apartment door with a note. Seagrue opened it impatiently:
 My dear Mir. Seagrue:
 shall be at homo today to
 my friends. There will be ten

 HELEN HOLMES.
 He studied the note in some sur prise. It certainly was not overcordial, yet, it might mean an opening in di- rection in which he would be glad to

gain advantage and he decided at once that he would accept. He gave or iers for the trip to Signal, resolving to drive out. and told Adams he was to accompany him. They left the room together little later and getting into a new roadster, started for Signal
 Spike, in the meantime, had gone to the station and was talking to the agent when the local passenger pulled in and Storm got off, saw Spike and the two left for the house.
 It was a delightful moment when Storm greeted Helen and Rhinelander under the old oaks. The young rail road man seemed bubbling over with happiness and, Rhinelander, perceiv- ing his great anxiety to segregate Helen for little talk, summoned Spike and left the couple to themselves.
 Storm led Helen to the shade of one of the big trees. T was coming up to- day, anyway, Helen," he began, "even if l had not got your note. You know what have been doing for two weeks about five mems work
 T know" returned Helen happily. but the best of it is, you are equal to it."
 I'm not so sure of that. But I do know it has been the hardest two weeks work I have ever done in my fife to keep away from you" He looked 1t her evenly. Her eyes fell under his gaze. T think you realize, Helen" he went on. speaking rapidly and not al- ways commercially. how I've felt to- ward you for a long, long time. The rouble has been. I've never felt in a position to speak until now. You znow I love you; think you under stand why I've held my peace-I had nothing, it seemed to me. to offer you. But Mir.

 She could not speak It seemed to
