Waived Examination.
At the prcliminery hearing of James
Connolly, the suspected murderer of Henry
Miller, (which crime was committed on the
Connolly ranch in Sioux county several
weeks since) and which took place at Har
rison Last Saturday, the prisoner waived
examination and his trial will take place
July 12, before Judge Wcstovcr. Those
present at the trial from Alliance were the
attorneys and witnesses interested in the
case namely, Messes. Mitchell, Oilman.
Noleman, G V. Jones, John Lcith, Kay,
Desch, and Dr. Moore. Nothing of vital
importance in the case any more than has
been madeymblie came up and thegen
oral impression prevails that Conuolly will
have a hard roul to travel. He ppre
ciatos the unenviable condition he is in,
aud the result is telling on his countenance
with no .unmistakable expression.
An alarm of lire at 10 30 Saturday night
brought the department to the Richardson
restaurant on Box BuHc avenue, where a
lively blaze was under way in the attic
The ought wot: was most opportune for a
destructive'Canflagrafcon. but die firemen
nipped the blaze in the bud. It is said
that 'the origin of the fire was'of au incen
diary nature, as a cKiir half burnt stood
directly under the opening ts the attic on
which had dropped -several blazing news
papers from above Sunday morning the
dopartment was called to 6he Red Light
salson, where a fhe also (threatened the
same block, but was quelchcd before nr
a'ous damage had 'resulted. The Richard
son restaurant fire resultetS'in slight loss.
The Sheridan Fost says the sheepmen -of

with the object'tif ascertaining which is the
better for fattening purposes, Each riaip-
.raent will be followed right through the
shipping, selling and slaughtering process
es, andthe complete records made public.
It will prove of value to the ilockmasters to

forage.

The versatile Edgar Howard says that
three good women in Columbus organized
a theatrical and restaurant business for the
glory of God and the benefit of tho church.
Each devoted a week of hard work to the
enterprise. The gross proceeds of the
show and the eat-fost were thirteen dol
lars. The actual cost of the business was
thirty-seven dollars. The Lord only knows
what his share amounted to, and the hus
bands of the three women well, they are
still paying bills, all the while trying to
look pleasant, hoping against hope that
some day their wives will get converted,
and quit imitating Governor Mickey in the
dangerous occupation of claiming business
relations in partnership with the Lord.

DEATH OF REV. HOWIE
After a Uriel Struggle with Illness
the Good Man Gives Up
Life's Struggle.
Rev. William M. Howie, pastor of tho
I'nited Presbyterian church of this city,
died at the parsonage of that society Sun
day morning at two o'clock. Ho had not
been in robust health and recently con
tracted a severe cold that developed in
lung trouble. The patient declined rapidly
and life's dissolution was peaceful, ns to
one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant slum
ber. The old saying, "As you live so you
shall die," was forcibly illustrated in Mr.
Howie's life. He was a man of refined
character and his kindness of heart drew
nil toward him. Possessed ol a Iolty in
tellect, with a thorough education, he was
a power in the field of labor to which he
was called. He labored for the church
from coast to coast, and with the rare gifts
given to him by the Creator, ho returned
talent for talent. In the summer of kjoi
Rev. Howie came to this city and as pastor
of the U. P. church his little flock pros
pored both in a religious and material way.
Two sons and a daughter together with
his devoted wifu arc left behind, but in the
separation they has'c the solace of reflect
ing on the departed father nnd husband
with serene contentment, or in other
words, with that peace of mind which the
world does not afford.
The remains wore taken to Washington,
Iowa, Tuesday night for interment ac
companied by relatives nnd friends. In
the evening the last riles were observed
wherein nil '.he ministers of tho city took
part.
The dmghter, Ethel Lee, who is attend
ing school in Lincoln, nrrived Sunday
nooti, out too late to see nur lather auvt
J. Ladrue, a son who has recently gradu
ated for the ministry in Pennsylvania, and
a brother from Edholin, this state, arrived
during tho week and woie a hotirce of con
solation to other members of the faeiily in
the liour of death. Another son, W. Dur-
ward, who is a minister at Shedd, Oregon, 1
hurried from his home t Iowa to he pros
entat the burial.
?Jr Howie ws about 58 yetrs of ago
and a native of Waukekha, Wis., where be
wes born Septernbor 1, 1845. From his
early days he was. a devoted -student of
theology and in faot-made it hisdife study,
'l'tai church, which has so suddenly arid
unexpectedly boon. bereft of such n faith
ful and capable shepherd, wi!l long re
member him.
