Two Weeks Following Childbirth

a promising future. Two days fol-
lowing thh birth of her daughter
she took very i'll and for days she
fingered between life and death. For
some days following, there seemed
hopes for recovery, but late Sunday
night a sudden change for the
worse came and she passed peace
fully away.
Hazel Dunnigan was united in
marriage to Leonard l.. Ryan at
Council Bluffs while Mr.. Ryan was
in the service. On his discharge
from the army they came TO Audi
bon to make their home, Mr.. Ryan
entering the practice of law.
The remains were shipped to her
old home in Council Bluffs Tuesday
morning and funeral services held
yesterday morning at $3.50 at the
Holy Family church.
Solemn high mass was celebrated
Rev. Father Costello, celebrant:
Rev. Father Caughlin, deacon; Rev.
Father O'Donnel, sub-deacon; and
Rev. Father McManus, master of
ceremony. The burial took place
in st. Joseph's cemetery. The pail
bearers were C. ]. Duff, P. j. Nc

der, w. A. Burke and Tom Delaney.
Those from here who attended

HAND CAUGHT IN WINDMILL

While his right hand was being
slowly crushed in the gearing of
windmill, H. l.. Walker, a farmer
living northeast of Atlantic, reached
up with his left hand and swung the
vane around until it loosened the
gearings and released his hand, but
not until three fingers had been
broken and fearfully mangled.
The accident occurred Sunday at
the Walker home when he had
mounted the mill to oil the gearings.
A sudden gust of wind put the wheel
into motion. His hand, which was
resting on the gearing, was drawn
into the wheels. Fearful that he
might faint and fall from the tower,
Mr.. Walker though suffering intense
pain reached up and seized the vane.

TT IS rather hard to believe some
l. authorities who tell us that never
before have bright colors been so much
in vogue, and, on the other hand, to
accept as true the statement that black
is being pressed to the front in Paris
ana again that gray is pre- eminently
fashionable. Actually all these things
are true. Black has taken some of the
prestige from navy blue for street
wear, but usually 1t is used with white
In a way that is really brilliant or it is
embroidered with combinations of bright
woolen threads. At the same time col
ors are more brilliant than they have
been for several seasons.
All the more striking, then, Is the
appearance Of gray frock. 1t is usu-
ally a mistake to combine groy with
colors. And it is almost hopeless to
use two tones of gray together with
good effect. 1t is used best when com
hined only with white or black or a
matching gray. Nothing more trying
than gray and pink. Todays sketch
shows a gray and black frock created
by Lanvin, Of Paris. The frock itself
is Of black velvet with stitchings of gray
silk. The long panel front and the
puffed sleeves are OF gray organdie.
The lower part Of the panel Is EN-.
broidered in silver and inlays of mother
of pearl. The flower which enhances
the lowered waistline is made of gray
organdie with center of the pearl.
Especially to be worn with the frock
was the hat designed. 1t is of black
velvet with an extension brim of gray
tulle-the only ornament being a gray
feather fancy.

elected. The Catholics. Independents
and followers OF Don Jaime of Bourbon,
the Spanish pretender, elected 10 can
didates.
The Government feels such conviction
it has secured a working majority that
the Premier to-day sent message to
the King expressing satisfaction over
the results
An outstanding feature Of the cleo
tons was the rout of the Socialists. who,
with the Republicans, form the extreme

with an increased number OF Deputies,
as expected. the Socialists find their
ranks reduced to only four.
