Lucille Hnlllgnn Tasscs Away.
Lucille, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John J. Halllgan, of this city,
passed away at nine o'clock Saturday
morning. Death followed an Illness of
several years, an lncurablo dlseaso
"developing. She was taken to spec
ialists in Omaha and eastern cities,
but they could hold out no hopo for
her recovery. For several days pro
ceding her passing away nor condition
had been such as to preclude a much
longer stay on earth.
Lucille was born In Omaha in
August. 1894, and came to this city
with her parents when a small child.
She bore her affliction patiently and
though denied in a largo measure the
pleasures of life, sho was, under tho
conditions, most cheerful. Tho father,
mother and brothers anticipated her
every want, and cared for her with a
devotion that only the deepest love
could bestow. While all will miss
Lucille, there Is in comfort in tho
thought that sho has been released
from years of intense suffering.
Tho funeral was held from the resi
dence yesterday afternoon. Dean Bow
ker officiating and a male quartette
rendering the musc. Many beau
tiful floral offerings from societies'
and individuals were sent.

K. ft. BUILDING PROJECT
AssuanxG tangible shape.
The trustees of tho Knights of Col
umbus aided by other members of tho
organization, who havo had under con
sideratlon tho erection of a building on
Dowey street north of tho Hotel Mc-.
Cube, are getting tho project in tan-,
glble shapo. Thero is scarcely any J
question but that tho preliminary
arrangements will bo completed so
that work mny bo started early noxtj
spring. Tho question as to whether!
tho building will bo two or thrco
stories has been definitely settled in J
favor of thrco floors; tho trustees,
havo successfully devolved a plan for
financing tho building and a firm has
offered to tako a ten year lease of
tho first and second floors. Tho esti
mated' cost oC Uho building which
will bo 44x122, Is $23,000. Tho third
floor will bo used by tho local council
for lodge and entertainment purposes.
Tho erection of this building, and
the probably erection of an additional
building by tho Elks on their vacant
forty-four feet, would prove a wonder
ful addition to that part of Dewey
street as a business section.

to take charge of the work of soliciting
for the Christmas baskets which tho
Twentieth Century Club will distribute.
