Late Sunday night at the ramily
home in this city, John E. Kirkham.
C3. former city treasuier passed
away after a prolonged illness that
had covered the past several years.
A sufferer from diabetes for a great
many years Mr. Kirkham was strick
en with pneumonia which in his con
dition it was unable to check and
he had gradually grown worse Satur
day and Sunday until death came to
liu relief.
Mr. Kirkham had spent practically
his entire lifetime in this city, his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kirk
ham. being early settlers here and
locating in the homstead on South
fourth street where they made their
home until death and which has been
the residence of the son since their
passing.
When a youth Mr. Kirkham en
ten, d the employe of the Burlington
in the railroad shops here and learn
ed the trade of tinner which he fol
lowed for a great many years, retir
ing from the railroad service at the
time cf the strike in 1922 and since
had been largely occupied with the
care cf his home and outside activ
ities. In 1923 Mr. Kirkham was induced
by his friends to enter the race for
city treasurer, making the race as an
independent candidate and he was
elected by a large vote and subse
quently was elected for several years
a:; a democrat to this office, declin
ing to be a candidate for re-election

office by M. I). Lrov. n, the present I
trea surer.- -
Mr. Kirkham was unmarried and
is survived by cue brother, B. L.
Kirkham, residing at L03 Angeles,
the parents rrecc-ding him in death
many years ago.
The deceased was one of the most l
popular residents of the city, a man
of a quiet and retiring disposition
but one that had won a large circle
of friends by his many fine qualities
and fairness to all.
Two years ago Mr. Kirkham was
foreed to have the amputation of
one 1 g as the result of the spread of
lii:- malady of diabetes and since that
time has not been able to enjoy his
former activity as he formerly did.
In his illnesc he has had the un
tiring care and devotion of the Ketel-
rcn familv, neighbors of Mr. Kirk-
ham and who have tenderly minister
ed to his wants through the long
months of illness.
SFEAKS AT FP.IENDSHTP HOUR
Dr. Howe, pastor of the Grace
Methodist church cf Omaha, was the
guest speaker at the Friendship hour
at the First Methodist church of this
city Sunday evening. Dr. Howe gave
a most entertaining account of a trip
that he enjoyed several years ago to
Europe which included trips to Italy,
Spain and the Holy Land. The speak
er particularly told of the little
known Maderia islands off the coast
of Spain where he had made a short
stay and found many points of inter
est in the general customs and habits
of the people of the island group. One
of the chief features of the island
population is that th2 women of the
islands have the labor to perform
while the men are the leisure class.
RETURNS FR02I HOSPITAL
From Tuesday's Daily
Frank A. Rebal, who has been at
the St. Joseph hospital at Omaha, re

ing very much improved. Mr. Rebal

May 9. 1933. when he had the heel
of his right foot fractured in a fall
from a refrigerator car on which he
was working. He was in the hos
pital for a period of several weeks
and then allowed to return home, but
the foot refused to heal and the pa
tient was forced to undergo two other
operations in order to try and secure
relief. The last operation was to re
move particles of bone from the foot
and which has resulted in the mem
ber showing a much better condition.

today at the hatchery and the young
sters or the school were much inter
ested in the downy little chicks as

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRE
From Monday's Daily
Today marks the seventeenth an
niversary of cne of the worst fires j
that visited this city when the store
building and contents owned by Zuek
weilsr & Lutz, was gutted by a fire
that broke out early in the morning
and raged for almost the entire day,
destroying a large part cf the stock
ar.d badly damaging the building it
self. The fire had started in the cel
lar of the store, is being caused, it
was thought, by someone thought
lessly dropping a cigarette into some
rubbish and which started the blaze
and which soon spread to the tanks
containing kerosene which caught
fire and soon had the basement blaz
ing and the floor of the grocery side
of the store building collapsed. This
part of the fire was finally gotten un
der control but in the fire the gas
mains leading into the cellar were
broken and ignited from the fire that
was in the furnace at the time, mak-jcf
ing it almost impossible to check and
which caused the lo-s of most of the
stock. '
The building is the one that is now
occupied by the Mullen market and
the Gamer store on South Sixth street
which was rebuilt by the owners after
the fire.
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Monday at the Immanuel hospital
at Omaha Miss Nellie Gorder of this
city was operated cn for a sudden
attack of appendicitis. The patient
came through the operation very
nicely and it is thought will soon be
on the highway to complete recovery.

but this matter should be taken care
of at ence a- already some hostesses
have selected rooms. For members it
may be necessary to crowd the fam

one night to make extra room for a
guest or two. but we are sure any
family will f.nd a satisfaction in
having met and known for a few
hours some of these from our neigh

it irii't so. Of course they are all go
