The death of Mrs. Lena Mentis I Fairfield at the family home just l west of this city last Sunday morn jing marked the passing of one of the oldest residents of the community. : she having settled here with her fam jily in the year 1885. Mrs. Fairfield i had been ill but a few days, suffering j from pneumonia, when she was summoned by death. Funeral ser j vices were conducted from the family .home Tuesday morning at ten o'clock in charge of Rev. Blanchard of the Minatare Christian church. Inter nment was made at the Fairview ceme I tei y. The following old time resi i dents of the community aided as pall bearers: W. H. Johnston, Math j Schumac her, Fred W. Smith, B. F. jOre. M. Wiles and E. O. Harshman. The Free Press joins many friends of the family in expressing sympathy I to the bereaved soti in his sorrow. Mrs. Lena Mentis Fairfield, nee Mullis was born at Loganport, In diana. April 2. 1857. and departed this life at her home west of Mina tare March 8, 1931. a'd 73 years. 11 months and 6 days. When she was about 8 years old, with her par ents she moved to Nebraska, first 'settling at Plattsmouth thence mov jing to Lincoln where they resided 3 years, then returning to Plattsmouth iwhere they lived for some time. While j living there she met Joseph K. Fair field to whom she was married Febru ary 18. 1878. To this union were born three children, cne son. Earl. jWho survives her and two daughters ;who died in infancy. In the sum mer of 1S85 they moved to Scotts Bluff county and settled on the farm LWfaere sh has since resided. Her father. Grrenbury Mullis, as well as her grandfather were min jisters of the Christian church, I preaching the gospel that Sister Fair i field learned to love, accepting Christ ,as her Saviour when she was nine I years old, thus giving aim' st 0 r, years to the loyal service of her Lord, and i in that servcie she never wavared.

Sh was a good and faithful wife, a doting mother, a true neighbor, a loyal citi?r. faithful church mem- be" and a genuine Christian. Hence we Borrow not as the infidel or atheist who contemplate death as the lend of all things. But we look for ! ward w'th Joyonfl expectation and locging anticipation ci mecring ner in her g'oriou.-. body which God will give to her and to all who look for and await His glorious appearing j coming in the elondfl of heaven, when j tho dead in Christ shall arise and wih the living saints are caught up 'to meet the Lord in the air.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The subject of the lesson-sermon re:.! at all Christian Science church- and societies on Sunday March 22, was ''Matter.-' This religion teaches thai God. Spirit, is not the creator of matter, and that in the Bibl mater ial terms often are in a figurative ''ense. which need to be correctly tin Qjtrptood to obtain the spiritual ap plication. One Biblical citation read, which needs no interpretation Is. "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man lore the world, the love of the Fa her ic not in him . . . And the world passeih away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of Cod abideth forever." A selection from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eldy (p. 270). reads: "Matter and Mind are opposites. One is contrary to the other in its very nature and essence; both cannot be real. If one is real, the other must be unreal. Only by understanding that there is but one power not two powers. Mat ter and Mind are scientific and log ical conclusions reached." GUARDS READY FOR RIOT Pontiac, 111. A bugle soundd and a squad of machine gunners and guards at Pontiac reformatory threw themselves in readiness to quell a riot, but nothing happened. The bugle. Warden Cranor bad been in formed, was to signalize the start of a revolt by 2.000 inmates. He had state police and guards posted with in the walls prepared to cope with it. Seemingly, he said, the prisoners realized it would be futile to take a stand against such odds, and aban doned their plan. All was quiet a Pontiac Tuesday night. Presbyterian Church Notes.
