DR.. D. C. DE FRANTZ LAID TO
REST.

VATITH measured steps and slow,
w the remains of DR.. David
Charles De Frantz were borne
from his late residence, 2734 Welton
street, on Sunday afternoon, the 22d
inst, to Zion Baptist Church by the
members of the Masonic fraternity,
being associated for a number OF
years with that body. A very large
gathering at the church awaited the
arrival of the cortege. giving evidence
of the popularity of one of Kansas
best sons and Colorado's highly re-
spected citizen and medical profess
sional, ardent Young Mems Christian
Association worker, faithful fraternal
society member and a staunch sup
porter and builder of the race of
which he was proud.
On the rostrum were Rev. d. E.
over, pastor of the church, and mas
ter of ceremonies; associate minis
ters, Revs. A. M. and w. A. Ward,
Williams, Thomas-H HAZEL, Pope, Reyn-
olds, Sawyer, DR.. Randolph, Secretary
Bell of the Colored Y. NJ. C. A., and
Mr.. j. S. Temple of the white Y. NJ.
C. A, who represented the parent or
ganization in paying their last re-
spects to the founder and late pres
ident of the local branch. A combined
choir from the several churches of
the city rendered selections which at
one point forcibly reminded the audi
ence of death and at another time
depicted the glorious hope in the res
direction of the dead. Solos and
duets by Madam Hicks-Le Noir,
Misses Andrews and Cole; also Mr.
Reid, had their pathetic touch, lend
ing a cheer, comfort and consolation
to the bereavement of family, rela-
tives and friends.

daughters, brothers and other rela-
tives The Colorado Statesman offers
it's deepest sympathy, commencing
them to the care, keeping and con-

patriotic effort to raise Colored Bat
talon in Colorado, which will be a
precedent for all the states since the

MICHAElSoN'S, THE STORE OF
ACCOMMODATION

The average Denver citizen or visit
or cannot help from stopping at Mi
chaelson's store, Fifteenth and Lari-
mer streets, as it is correctly named
1.-The Store Accommodating, when the
quality of the goods on sale and the
prices that they are marked down are
within reach of the smallest pocket
book. This firm with its staff of en-
ployes of the utmost civility, offers to
the public rare and special lines at
bargains that defy competition, and
the general stock is reduced in price
to meet the increased summer pat
ronage.
Remember, MICHAELSON and AC-
COMMODATION are one and the
same; therefore, call first before 60
ing elsewhere, and get the proof of
their advertisement.
