Sev. Morgan of Valentine con
ducted the funeral services , speak
ing words of comfort from Canti
cles VI , 2.
"A lovely infant sleeps in death-
How beautiful and fair !
Yes , even now , though void of
breath
Gpd's impress still is there.
And if thus fair and lovely here ,
Beneath death's icy hand ;
0 will it not be beauteous there
Mid the immortal band ?
Though nature weeps wjien lovely
ties
So strongly bound are riven ,
I Yet , faith the Savior's words ap
plies ,
Of such the realms of heaven. "

Admission lOc.
After yesterday's proceedings ,
does it not behoove the citizens
to prefer a dry town ? As one
after another was being carted or
led off to jail , the thought came
what is the use of constantly put
ting in the time catching the sa
loon products and allowing the
producers to go on with their
levilish work , regarding neither
aw nor souls , filling their coffers
jy robbing the poor , keeping up
rhe lucrative business of making
i
recruits for the army that is stead
ily marching on to ruin. A gentle
man from a dry town not far away
remarked on the streets of Valen
tine a few days ago : "It seems
odd to see so many saloons here ,
when we have none at all. Oh ,
well , your people will have to come
to it before long , as a business
proposition , We found that out ,
and you will too , in time. " It is
to be hoped the people of Valen
tine will "tumble" to the fact be
fore some awful calamity befalls
our town or people.
