Rev. Raekay on Saloons.
Instead of delivering tlie sermon
which If h d pr-paaed P r the occ asion,
the Bev. T. Mackav, rector of All
Saints' church. Sunday morning made
an eddres*. outlining his attitude on
the Sundav saloon question, which has
biougnt him Into considerable promi

declared at th" ou set that he aid not
wish his n murks construed as an un

he would like very much to see “a

try and elevate them to as high a noora

slated, had informed him that the ctos

Into the Mystic Beyond.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky
came the ne«s last Thursday night
that Lawyer H. M Mathew had died at
his home a few minutes before 10
o'clock, death ensuing from neuralgia
of the heart Mr. Mathew was taken
ill about noon on Tuesday with la
grippe. He felt no better during the
afternoon or night and Wednesday and
Thursday still confined him to the
house, his case being aggravated by
stomach troubles, from which he could
experience no relief, but up to ten
minutes prior to his demise, no alarm
was experienced by family or phvsiean.
when neuralgic pains assailed the heart
in intensity, causing his death before
any realization of fatal consequences
were had, and it was only upon repeat
ed telephone cal's among his many
friends over the city that the unexpect
ed and unpreparetl for sad new was
given that the pleasant, courtly gentle
man, bright lawyer and esteemed friend
of the masses had entered the mystic
beyond. No one was prepared for the
terrible news and even when commit
nicated, was heard with scarce belief.
Mr Mathew was one of the most prom
inent figures in this part of the stste.
Calm, dignified, courreous and always
a gentleman in speech and demeanor,
to know was to resiiect him, and dur
ing the two short years of our acquain
tance with him, since coming to Loup
City, we had learned to love and res
pect him for his many manly qualities
of head and heart, and his death comes
to us personally as a great loss His
funeral took place Sunday afternoon
from the Baptist church, the Rev. ,1.
M. Bates. Episcopal minister, conduct
ing the s-ei vices, assisted by the Baptist,
Methodist and Presbyterian clergymen,
the church being filled with ladies al
most entirely, with a greater number
of men grouped around the building,
all congiegated to show honor to then
departed friend, and sympathy for his
devoted v ife and stricken son. Tne
casket was banked with most'beautif til
and costiy floral emblems provided by
the various orders nt which the de
ce sed and family were in* mbers. The
funeral ceremonies were tinder the
auspices of the Pythian and A. O. XT.
\\ hrethern. who a’tended to all the
details am] escorted the remains to the
Silent <bty of the Departed The lov
ing wife and only son have theideepesr
sympathy of the entire community in
this the maddest realization that comes
to the human mint}.
