and Odd Fellows, holding the office of Grand Master in the former for many years. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew his excellent qualities of head and heart. He was a character that grew on those with whom ho came in contact. He was of that class of men who can be dopended upon to do their part. He hits held various positions of honor, trust and responsibility which were filled with an eye single to the interest of those he represented. His words were few, but his sentences were golden, his judgment was safe and his convictions unfaltering. As a friend, be was ever kind und true; as a husband, he was tender and thoughtful. His life was a noble mission. His unswerving integrity, hi fidelity to every obligation, cemented friend ship which will continue a pleaaant memory to many long after beneficient Nature has effaced the marks of his grave. People lov-

eu hiiu respected uiO lor wuat uc was, not for what he seemed to be. Free from selfish ambition and personal resentment, he was loved by every roan, woman and child with whom he was thrown in contaet. No man ever lived who carried away from his presence a feeling that he had been wronged. He stood pre eminently upon moral principles in all his dealings with his followmen. His religion was the Golden Rule, and he consistently lived up to it. When questioned a short time before hit death he said no difference whether death be a doer er a wall 1 am pi epared for it never having iu all my life wronged a living soul and willing to accept the great law of compensation which at last makes all things even. The funeral was held on Friday at 10 s. tn. in charge of the Masons and Odd Fellows, and a large number of friends attended the solemn obsequies. Floral tributes paying homage to the noble life of the deceased were numerous, and the different lodges turned out in a body as an escort of honor. The pall bearers were H. P. Pauley, W. F. Browning, Jas. Williams, John T. Woodward, Masons; R. A. Fulk, F. M. Bishop, T. N. Reinhard, Wes. Walker, Odd Fellows. Requirscat in iacb.

. 1 KICKED MY A HORSE. Patrick Kerr was the victim of a dangerous accident Friday evening. He was unhitching a team of horses at hi father's home, east 2d street. Johnnie Korr and Mary Quinn Kerr, two little children, requested a ride on tho horsos to the baru aud each was placed astride the animal by Mr. Kerr. When the horses had been watered, they started on a little trot to tho barn and the little g;rl held to the animal, which dashed through the barn doer, striking her nose and eye. In the meantime the little boy, becoming alarmed, fell from the horse, his blouse waiat being caught under the horse's font. Mr. Kerr ran to the little fellow and in trying to pull him away the horse gave a terrible kick which struck Mr. Kerr on the forehead, just above the right eye. Korr foil to the ground and his mother, witnessing the blow the little girl received, ran screaming to the barn thinking the child was killed. As she took the little tot off the horse she noticed her son lying on the ham floor, the blood gushing from his forehead. Her screams attracted the other members of the family to her assistance. For a time it was thought the injury was fatal, as the wound presented a dangerous appearance. Mr. Kerr was conscious ail the time, and bore up under the pain with great fortitude. When the injury had been carefully dreased by Drs. Lowder, E. C. Harris and Crockett it was thought best to move him to the Lowdei sanitarium, where an operation was performed. The cork of the horse's shoe penetrated the skull and three small pieces of bone were removed by the physicians. The wound is . u dangerous one, but tho physicians give hopes that be will recover from its effects. Pat Kerr is one of the best known and most popular young men of the city, 30 yeara oM, aud was a corporal under Capt. Louden iu company H. Hia friends

Mr. aud Mrs. J. G. McPheetera have returned from Terre Haute where they took part in tho reception of Capt. Cogblan of the "Raleigh." Mr. McPheeters is a hrother-in law of the gallant Captain. The Raleigh was the first of Dewey's wonderful fighting fleet to return home and the Captain has met with enthusiastic receptions wherever he has been since his arrival. Captain Ceghlan spoke with faeling against what be calls "hyphenated Americans." He said: "If a man is ia an American citizen be is an American citizen pure and simple. I have no patience with this hyphenated citizenship. There ia nothing that Europe would rather see to-day than tha existence of factional lines in our citizenship. If tbeso foreign colonists get a foothold in the United States our power will be on the wane." Capt. Coghlan said of Admired Dewey: "He will not take a trip over the country in response to invitations to attend jubilee celebrations. He does not like that kind of glory, nor do any of the officers."

E. church, was working, cleaning tha gutter there of weeds, when along came Squire Allen, another member of tha congregation. Says Allen to Mathews, W 'at you doin' there!'
