Committees were appointed and the preliminary steps taken to hasten the work. This will bring to this city a very large crowd of visitors on the day when the initiation takes place. This order is of a religious character, being composed of members of the Catholic faith exclusively, or rather those who are active in the exercise of their relig ious duties, as laid down by Iho church. Dentil of Miss Mac Kennedy. Miss Mae Kennesy, sister of -Willis Kennedy, one of the popular freight conductors running out of this city, departed this life last Sunday morning, after a lingering illness with the dread disease," consumption. The young lady was known to be in the shadow of death for several days. All that human skill 6ould suggest was dono to restore her to health, but to no avail, and Sunday morning at'tcn o'clock She breathed her last. As is so often the case with victims of this malady, a short time before she died, Miss Ken nedy arose from her couch, remarking that she felt so much better and was sure she would soon recover her health. She walked across the room unaided, but suddenly complained of loosing her eyesight, when she was assisted to the bed and within a few seconds life was gone. The death of this most estimable young lady is surrounded with con ditions that arc indeed pathetic. Miss Kennedy, together with her brother Willis, was the only survivor of the late Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Kennedy, who were among the most esteemed citizens of Alliance. The family con sisted of nine children all of whom have passed away within a short time of each other, with the exception of Willis who was the only surviver of the family to follow his beloved sister to the grave. Miss Kennedy was just at the threshold of womanhood and possessed a pleasing and ladylike dis position that drew friends around her in an endearing circle. She was a student at one of the prominent sister convents in Omaha through the past vear and returned to this city during the holidays, when she began to show signs of failing health. A trained nurse attended Miss Kennedy and the devoted brother who now alone mourns her demise, left nothing undone to smooth the path of the precious life that was surely Hearing the portal of heaven. When the devoted sisters, ra B WHY NOT BUILD? We will loan you the money that you need for building' your house and you can return it on the monthly paywent plan a little each month.

Tho funeral took place Tuesday morning at Holy Rosaiy church, Rev. Father Galvin officiating. Solemn high mass was read and the offico of the dead recited. Father Calvin's eulogy of the dead was most nppropii ate and practical. He drew a lesson of life and showed how beautiful it was to die a Christian, end with the fortitude that encouraged Miss Kennedy on that journey which to many is so dreadful. A beautiful white casket covered with many flowers, the remembrances of devoted friends, contained the frail body of the deceased. The Brother hood of Railway Conductors acted as an escort to the cemetery, where the remains were laid to-rcst. WiiTAiliancc. The Burlington's seed corn and soil culture special train, which has been touring the eastern part of the state, in tho interest of education will also visit Alliance when the usual lecture on the planting and care of corn and tilling of soil will be discussed by pro fessors of the university of Nebraska who have been giving the matters years of study. It may seem strange to some that this special should be brought into what is cons'dered an exclusive range country, but the exten sive raising of- corn in this section dur ing the past few years have convinced the Burlington company and others that Box Butte county can raise corn as well as any other section ot the state when the seasons are favorable.
