The death of Miss Nellie Fitzpat
rick, a former resident of this city
occurred on Thursday night at the
St. Bernard convent In Council Bluffs
la., where for several years past she

and since that time the daughter has
been residing In Council Bluffs at the
convent where she was interested in
the work of the sisterhood of St. Ber
nard. Born and reared in this city
the departed lady made many frienas
who will regret greatly to learn of
her death, although a sufferer from
childhood with sickness that prevent
ed her from the enjoyment of the ac
tivities common to other young peo
pie she was greatly beloved by the
circle of friends who had knbwn her
best.
To mourn her death theer remains
one brother, John Fitzpatrick. who
has just recently gone west and whose
whereabouts was impossible to ascer
tain in time to inform him of the
death of the sister. Two uncles. Ow
en Clifford of Weeping Water and
T. S. Cliftord of this city as well as
an aunt,- Miss Josephine Clifford of
Omaha, are also left to mourn the
passing of Miss Fitzpatrick.
The body was brought to this city
this morning on Burlington train No.
C. and taken direct from the station
to the St. John's Catholic church
where the funeral mass of the church
was celebrated by Father Ferdinand
Sucsser of the Holy Rosary church.
owing to the sickness of Father m
. Shine. The hody was laid to rest
in the Catholic cemetery west of the
city.

ONE questions the power of good
music to relax tense nerves and allay
fatigue.
Edison spent three million dollars in research
work to develop an instrument, which would
Re-Create all forms of music, with absolute
realism, and thus provide an instrumentality,
by which the true beauties and full benefits of
music can be brought into every home.
Edison wants a phrase of four or five words,
which will distinguish this new invention from
ordinary talking-machines. He offers $10,000
in prizes for the best ideas. Bring or mail the
coupon and get a folder, that gives full par
ticulars and instructions.
Three Days of Music Free
If you do not own one of Edison's new instruments,
we shall gladly lend you one for three days, in order
th&t you may experiment with it in your own home
ami learn what music will do for you. This experience
may make it easier for you to win a prize.
Act quickly, as the number of instruments, which
we can lend, is limited. Bring or mail the coupon.
Yoa assume no expense and no obligation.
Have you a daughter Graduating this June?
You promised her a gift. Make it a New
