Mrs. Julia Wcesner (By Rcv7f MTBrulincr) While nil nature was liusv decoratinc herself in the gorgeous robes of autumn lime, while birds were calling to their males to nrenaro for tho loot ioumcv to the southland, while the earth was pulsating in rapture at the wooing of tim sun, amidst the laughter of children on the street, the sounds or toilers nt their tasks, silently, but upon his swiftest wing, the death angel flitted through our beloved city and bore away a neighbor and friend, and yonder, beyond the realms of pain and weak- ness and parting nnd death, the beautiful, motherly, Christian spirit of sister Julia Wcesner hns uonc. but robed in white now, full of exuberant life now, singing with that mighty chorus now, whose sweet strains readied her cars n few days ago, free from pain nnd weariness and ema ciation now, yes. just over vonder. "Awake in his Likeness." Mrs. Wcesner made no pretensions to distinction in the larger affairs of life, but wrought with faithful untiring effort in her sphere to provide for the needs and comfort of those she loved dearest. She claimed not perfection, but recognized and lived for a higher goal as the years swtipt on. She carried no hatred in her heart, and malice was not born for her in the hearts of o'thers: Her greeting was cheerful, nerwisnes lor all was well. She was faithful to her duties, devoicd to. her family and' home, and recognized her creator m ner lire. She had virtues that others mitrht well covet, and habits worthy! of, emulation, We shall miss ner as we walk the streets, and assemble in llie house of worship, but we have cood around to hone and believe that her life has passed into a broader and more iovous realm, nnd that she is looking out upon tho sun rise of a blissful eternity.

Tho hickoIY fell to Denver City, who kicked to the fouity yaid lino, their oppon ents carrying tho ball Imok to the twenty yard line. Tlio home boys ti led line suiiihlios aud mudo good galus and thou tiyiug forwaid passes lost the ball to Dearer City on an incompleted pass.

Paul Newhouhe kicked goal. Deaver City then, ou a Hue end iuu also made a touchdown and kicked goal. At llu end of the Hist quaiter the people felt Confident that they would see a good game of football the score being 7 to 7.

Newhouso and the playing of Provost was nothing short of maiveloii!), they could make no moio touchdowns. The heaver City boys made two more touchdowns, one each quarter, but It was the opinion of the onlookers that the last ono was not fair.
