A wave of sorrow -and sympathy swept
over Alliance Tuesday afternoon when the
sad tidings of the death of Johu P Reardon,
late master mechanic of the Wyoming
division of the B. & M. railroad was noised
abroad among the citizens. Not since Al
liance was located was there such an uni
versal expression of heartfelt regret from
every class of society. An acute sense of
loss seemed to pervade every heart. A
good man, citizen, neighbor and friend, a
natural-born gentleman, God's noblest
handiwork was taken away in the person
ality of John Reardon. All who knew him
mourn for him.
A year ago the first indications of the
malady that afterward caused his death
made themselves manifest. Still every
hope was entertained that he would over
come the inroads of the infirmity. But
slowly his strength ebbed away and at
length when it became apparent that death
was inevitable he prepared to meet his
last end with heroic Christian fortitude.
He received the last sacraments of the
Catholic church, of which he was always a
devoted member, with every mark of faith
and humble piety. And after bearing with
edifying patience and profound resignation
to God's holy will, a long, tedious wast
ing sickness, he breathed his last breath
peacefully surrounded by his sorrowing
family. At his deathbed were gathered
his wife and five children, his aged father,
Michael Reardon, and his two brothers,
Michael Reardon, Jr., of Creston, , Iowa,
and Edward Reardon, Sr.
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock a
requiem high mass was celebrated at the
church of the Holy 'Rosary in this city
for the repose of the soul of Mr. Reardon.
The body, encased in a neat casket, reposed
for the last time at the altar where in life
he had often knelt. The pall bearers on
the occasion were Messrs. C. A. Newberry,
M. F. Nolan, Wm. Haley, L. B. Johnson,
F. W. Irish and Ed. O'Donnell. A large
congregation of mourners representing
every creed and class overflowed the
church. Many who could not get in were
compelled to stand all through the services
in the vestibule and even outside the
church. The altars were appropriately
draped in black. The Gregorian plain
chant requiem mass was impressively
rendered by the choir under the direction
of Mrs. Raymond. The scene was indeed
impressive and the spirit of peace and con
solation that prevailed was heavenly.
After the mass, and the blessing of the
remains, Father Galvin spoke at length of
the deceased. He reviewed John Reardon's
character as a faithful, devoted Catholic,
as an affectionate husband and father and
as an honest, conscientious citizen. Father
Galven extended to the bereaved family
the sympathy and consolation which St.
Paul gave the Thessolonians, when he
tells them not to grieve like the others who
have no hope. That those who fall asloep
in the Lord await the resurrection, just as
the Lord himself has risen. And that we
who are left shall meet again in the world
to come those who have gone before us to
be happy for eternity. The death of this
good man did not carry with it that awful
loss that comes to those who see no hope
beyond the grave, but his soul was soothed
and sustained by that unfaltering faith,
like one going home, confident of the peace
and happiness that abide forever.
John Reardon was born in Quincy, 111 ,
July 18, 1855, thus making him a little
over 48 years of age. He was educated in
the schools of Quincy and at the Francis
can college there. He commenced work
as apprentice in the mechanical depart
ment of the Burlington shops at Quincy at
the early age of fifteen. He went to Cres
ton, Iowa, in 1873, and worked there as
a machinist fifteen years. He was mar
ried on May i, 1879, to Miss Rose
Sweeney, a lady whose estimable qualities
of heart and head have endeared her to all
who know her. Of the marriage five
children remain, Edward, Jr., Joseph, R.
Emmet, Henry and Marie. John Reardon
went to Pacific Junction in 1888 as fore
man and remained three years, being pro
moted to master mechanic of the Wyom
ing division at Alliance in April, 1891,
which position lie ably filled till his resig
nation in the early part of their present
year. In all he worked 32 years in the
employ of the C, B. & Q. and B.& M.
roads. , His ability as an expert mechanic

friends of the Horn family:
"After seeing Denver, we crossed the
pilcd-up Rockies; visited the 'City of the
Saints' where we were shown the Mormon
edifices by a lady who seemed glad to act
as guide, and, nt the same time, glad to
show evidences of being proud of the fact
that she was a Mormon and the wife,
along with many others, of some man who
had a corner on wives. We arrived in
Dillon Thursday, at midnight, and found
a splendid people eager to give us n warm,
royal welcome. Delicacies of the season
were spread upon the dining-room table
and a cordial invitation to partake was ex
tended as soon as we arrived at the parson
age. Wo partook and arc still partaking

street has its splendid shade trees and
stream of water flowing by, reminding mo
somewhat of Damascus. The residences
are worthy a place in a large city, some of
them, I am told, cost from $40,000 to
$50,000. The 'state normal has a most
beautiful location, and its three large
buildings would do credit to any city on
the map. A three-story hotel offers travel
ing men first-class accommodations. As
an evidence of Dillon's wealth and surplus
cash, it may be well to note that one of its
banks, the First National, has nearly a
million dollars of deposits. I feel like it

Last Friday evening at 630 a stock train

together, Firemen Conn attempted to get
out ot danger by jumping, but fate ruled
otherwise and he landed into eternity. Tho
unfortunate man was badly lacerated
about the head and body. Engineer Mc
Donald stayed at his post and was unin
jured, but Conductor Beans received
several serious injuries and he was taken
to the company's hospital for treatment
after being bandaged and cared for in this
city. Brakoman Spears oscaped from the
collision with a sprained ankle. Tho crow

remains of Fireman Coun were taken to

A brother of tho deceased, Courtland

brother's remains and with the assistance
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
conveyed them to the deccased'3 homo at

twenty miles east of Seneca. A spucial 1
