sumed the seats of honor in the front of
the main section of the edifice
Rev Burton drew his text from Pauls
letter to Timothy and held up before
the class the seeking of the life that is
life indeed in eloquent and earnest
language It was a most excellent ef
fort worthy in conception and splendid
ly delivered The speaker referred to
the American the Anglo Saxon passion
for achievement and made a plea for a
high and chivalrous ideal of achieve
ment that the aim Bhould be nothing
less than thy God thy country and
truth The sermon throughout con
trasted the life of getting and the life of
hnint nrotravine a lofty and useful
character as the highest possible at
tainment in life
The effort of the large choir was in
spiring offering as they did a splendid
anthem in excellent style and finish
The decorations of the church were
simple but appealing patriotic- in
color and form
The service was union in nature all
the churches of the city joining and
dismissing their regular services of the

How About That Subway
With so many complaints about that
West McCook grade crossing and the
road leading to the same why not urge
the development of that subway propo
sition of the Burlington and settle this
ever dangerous question before some
one is killed or severely injured The

erable item of expense to the company

road Urge the excavating of the sub
way and the making of proper ap
proaches to the same on both sides

DEATH IS INSTANTANEOUS
Dead Man Became Mentally Unbalanced
Over Fearing- the World Was About
to Come to An End
Monday morning of this week Jacob

himself headforemost down an aband
oned well on the old E F Duffey farm
The well is about 150 feet deep and his

at the hotel and started on foot for his
farm A few miles from the city he
met his brother Mike and his wife com
ing to town They all returned to the
farm together
His condition during tho following
night was such as to require tho assist
ance of neighbors to care for him
Early Monday morning ho succeeded
in escaping from his care takers and
ran toward the abandoned well The
brother and others sought to overtake
him but without success Arriving at
tho edge of the well he poised himself
for an instant and jumped in headfirst
The remains were brought to McCoote
Tuesday and after services in St Pat
ricks church in tho afternoon conduct
ed by Rev Kir win the remains were
buried in Calvary cemetery
The deceased came to America from
Austria and has been a resident of Red
