New Court House
I Under Way
Sevi'nil ropivsietitittive? of tlitnlitfrr
nut puts of tlie count v were In the
city this week mill forced upon u plan
for building a new court liouae for
Webster County The Idea is to divert
a portion of the various funds Into n
fund known ns the court house fund.
By setting apart four inillb for 'three
years a fund of sixty thousand dollars
will be realized which in the opinion
of the meeting wilt be ample for such
a building. This method will not cost
the tax-payers of the county one cent
in the way of added taxer. The levy
will remain the same but some of It
will be used for building purposes.
This arrangement seems to meet with
general approval. The following pe
tition will be circulated at once to
give the authority to the county board
to proceed at once:
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Webster County,
Nebraska.
We the undersigned legal voters re

added to the two former levle's will
raise the huiii of fOOoOu.00, the levy for
the year 1015 in no event to exceed
the sum of four mills on the dollar.
The proceeds of such levies to be

Ou March 18, 11)09, Mrs. Hartwell
made profession of faith In Christ our
Lord, and was received into the Christ
ian church in luavalu. Slid has been
a consistent and active member of the
church; the faith and hope of the
Christian was enshrined iu her heart
to the last. Nine months ago she fell
sick, and has been an invalid allien
then. The best physicians in the
state, held out from the first, but little
hopes of her recovery. The most they
could do was to relieve and help, 'but
uot cure. Fortunately, her . malady
entailed no .cry great physical pain.
Her suffering was mental, rather. For
she loved life uud desired to be active
and useful for many years yet. She
felt that her daughter, now growing
Into womunuood, needed her care; she
was devoted to her' husband, her
family aud her home; these and other
duties seemed to call to her. Her
hope theiufore lingered till near the
end. At the last, she became quietly
resigned to the final change.
hverything was done for her that
loving care aud the best judgment
could devise. However, thone kindly
and generous ministrations proved un
availing to stay the ravages of dlsoasu
or defeat the last enemy, which is
death. Taken to the hospital at Hast-,
mgs, after seven weeks there sheseem
ed to Improve, but ouly fur a time.
Later, she was removed to tlie hospi
tal at Lincoln, where she remained
three weeks, while the utmost efforts
were made in here behalf. In add I
tlon, a trained nurse has been in con
stant attendance on her for many
months.
Mrs. uartweii was essentially a
home lover. In her own home, she
was a queen. Home was her pride
and jy. She uever wearied in mak
ing home beautiful and delightful.
She was kindly disposed, free heart
ed, and geuerouB. Mauy a noble im
pulse of her heart,.fouud expression in
deeds of kindness. Strong spirited,
and strong hearted, her energy and
aspiration always outstripped her
strength of body. '
