SUDDEN DEATH.

Those acquainted with the gentleman
were previously shocked Thursday morn
ing upon learning that Edward }. Butler
had passed away during the night at the
home of his brother. r. Butler. The de-
|ceased was a sufferer from tuberculosis,
and came to Oroville early in the year in
hopes that change of climate might re-
suit favorably He has not been confined
to his bed at any time, yet he could not
exert himself, and ii was evident that he
was gradually fading away. He was al
ways cheerful. genial. with a smile and a
CHEEKY word for all whom he met. The
evening before his death he expressed
himself as feeling better and was most
pleasantly jovial. A more appealingly
likeable gentleman we have never met in
this upper country.
He retired about 3 o'cock Wednesday
evening, and made no complaint of feel
ing badly, although the had slept hard
Before retiring Mrs. Butler went to the
room of her brother-ln-law to arrange his
pillows, and he seemed to be resting
quietly. In the morning he was found
dead in bed He had evidently passed
away In sleep without struggle.
Edward j Butler was born at ROCK
Rapids, Iowa, February II. 1882 and
hence had reached the age of 30 years, 8
months and Is days. The deceased has
spent a number of years in the west, a
portion of the time in Alaska. When In
health he must have been fine specimen
OF manhood, for even the insidious disease
from which he suffered had failed to any
extent In reducing his sturdy
physique The remains were shipped TO
Minneapolis for burial.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

We regret that lack of space prevents a
more detailed report of the delightful en-
tertainment given in the Orpheum last
Friday evening by number OF the ladies'
Of the town, an entertainment from which
that portion of the population present.
and there were a large portion there as
every seat was occupied. with many peo-
Pile standing, derived so much genuine
plea sure. The occasion was the staging
of that extravagant comedy, THE Spin
ster's Convention" during the perform
ance of which there was laugh every
minute, and hence a multitude u Aughs.
as the presentatio extended over two and
"a half hours. The costumes were scream.
and each individual performer. did her
part most creditably In the make overs
the young people who did the vaudeville
stunts did better than they ever did be-
fore, and that Is saying great deal to
their credit. Miss Pauline Schassberger's 8
instrumental selection was most skill
fully executed and the little miss is go
ing to establish more than a local reputa-
ton as a pianist. The vocal numbers by
such local favorites as Miss Constance
and Hermenie Grieger. Miss Ruth Nc
Cannon and Mrs. Beverly Powell were
excellent Miss Woods surprised her
acauaintances with her graceful dancing,
and the dancing by Miss Madge Lewis and
Miss Gladys Smith. as the colored twins
was a great hit. Altogether the entertain
ment was one of the best that has been
given by local talent in Oroville.
