Every part was so well taken it is needless to comment on each indi vidual of the cast separately. Suffice to say it was 100 per cent good in every part. The popular artists Field and Cook from our neighboring city of Flatts mouth furnished the climax to the entertainment with their songs, jokes and blackface comedy stuff. These boys are hard to beat and when their names appear on any bill the audi ence is assured of plenty of pood wholesome fun. Taken altogether as stnted in the begining it was a suc cess and as it is the intention of the club to put on several more during the winter if you are called to de vote your time and talent, don't be selfish and expect the same ones to do all the work. If you think its all fun get in the game and find out th" truth. In conclusion will say the only criticism heard on the enter tainment was that:it was too short" and as it lasted the better part of ! carnzation two hours we consider this the great est compliment that could be paid any entertainment.

Oklahoma; (Arthur of Madison, California. Mrs. Wiley's death was caused from burns received so:ae four weeks before when in the act of restarting a fire the kerosene can exploded, setting her clothing on fire and alse the room. She first put out the fire on her person by rolling in the snow and then with water she put out the one in the room, she then called for help and the doctor as she was alone at the time of the accident. All was eionedone to stop her suffering that human hands could do. She bore her pains and waited patiently until the end came. She was taken to Jules burg, Colorado, by her doctor the day before her death to the hospital in hopes that more could be done for her but she passed away during the night. Mrs. Wiley was a good woman and her death is not only mourned by her relatives but by "u host of friends as well. Funeral services were held at the Christian church in Murray at 12 o'clock Sunday, conducted by Rev. Williams of Clay Center, Ne braska, an old friend of the family. She united with the Christian church when a young girl and has been a devout member since that time. During the services two songs we re sung by the choir, they being "We are Going Down the Valley" and "Face to Face." Mrs. Hiatt sung as a solo "Death is Only a Dream." Her body was laid to rest in the Young cemetery where her father and moth er anl two brothers sleep.
