Miss Dora, daughter of Nelson and Lizzie Mercer, was born Feb. 12, 1880,and as the shadows of night were falling on the 13th of May a sad gloom overshadowed the home and hearts of her parents, relatives and friends. Fifteen long years had rolled by without death, entering their threshold, but on that dreary eve He made his appearance and took the oldest daughter from the home. After tfciese long years of pleasure and happiness, a great sorrow was brought to bear upon them, but “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Miss Dora, after an illness of almost five week, calmly fell asleep in Jesus on the 13th day of May, 1895. She was just entering upon the stage of womanhood when death claimed her for his own. She was converted Nov. 20, 1893, and united with the M. E. church at Steele, June 17, 1894. . Dora was respected and loved by all who knew her. She leaves a father, mother, two brother; and a sister with a host of friends to mourn her departure. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. George Cocking, and the remains of the beloved maiden were placed in their last resting place in the Tricker cemetery amid a large concourse of sorsowing friends. ICE CREAM.

sum jomrence; Gathering of Free Coinage Adherents at Salt Lake. Utah. CITY IS GAILY DECORATED. Mottoes Galore Adorn the Tabernacle Where an Immenae Audience Aaaembles—Governor Pickards Calls the Convention to Order and Makes a Speech outlining the Objects of the Conference. Salt Lake City, May 16.—Salt Lake was gaily decorated yesterday in honor of the opening of the silver conference. Everywhere floated flags, bunting and free coinage emblems. The first carriage in the big procession contained the governors of Utah, Montana and Idaho, with ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico. The tabernacle was reached at noon, where an immense audience hod assembled. From conspicuous parts of the gallery hung the mottoes: “Financial Independency” “Our song. Silver threads among the gold,” “Sound money say the gold bugs; silver say the people,” “We want a circulating medium that will circulate.’’ Governor Pickards called the convention to order. He spoke in part as follows: “We have met, not to appeal to the prejudices that may cluster instinctively around the self-interest of community or people, not to enter politics, but to institute a movement along new lines for the better education of the musses on the financial problem of the day. Existing conditions, reflecting the evil results of monometallism and the misfortunes of the business world on every phase of our industrial and social life, have stimulated a demand on the part of the masses for a better knowledge of financial propositions that selfinterests may be respected at the polls. Object. of the Conference. “The object of this conference is not to devise free coinage arguments, for such arguments are indelibly written upon the progress and prosperity of the human race, but to place in the hands of the voters these arguments in language that men can understand and apply. If this mission be accomplished the victory is won. With the treasuries of Europe behind them, with the best talent money can employ, with a subsidized press retaliating opinions and manufacturing ‘facts,’ the gold bugs are still hampered by the testimony of current events. “The movement to corner the gold output of the western region, that another issue of government bonds may be forced, presents one of the dangerous possibilities of monometallism. Differences of opinion as to the value of this poliey or that are blended into common cause of self-defense when the treasury of the United States becomes an object for speculation and the credit of the nation is marked for plunder.” Governor West delivered an address of welcome saying that all conditions were favorable to the silver sentiment in Utah. Mayor Baskin welcomed the delegates for the city, Governor Prince responding. Hon. Thomas C. Merrill of Montana, father of the conference, was chosen temporary chairman, and Hon. Henry W. Langenour of California, was made secretary. FELL INTO THE FIRE. Mfr. Brown Slowly Roasted to Death. Kyes Burned Out.

Omaha, May 16.—1 n convention yesterday the Catholic Knights of America considered the proposition of inviting all other Catholic bodies of similar character to consolidate with it. No definite action was taken, but. the indications are that something of the kind will be done. There is much objection to that feature, however. Chairman O’Connor, in4tehalf of the committee, reported adversely on the proposed amalgamation, receiving encouragement in tbe way of applause from the anti-federation portion of the-convention. El tided the Stern Parent. Chicago, May 16. —News has reached here of the marriage at Raton, N. M., of Miss Ray Wilmarth, a Chicago society girl, to Beauregard Lee, a relation of General Robert Lee.
