The flag floated at half mast from the dome of the build- ing and streamers of crepe were displayed at either side of the en- trance where (police officers were PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E.

The members of the city coun- cil, the committee in charge, Rev. Smith of the M. E. churel,, and father Murphy of St. Phillip’s Catholic church, with. .a uni- formed delegation from.ghe local lodge of Woodmen occupied seats on the stage. At four o'clock the funeral ceremonies began with a selec- tion by a quartette-composed of the Messrs. Jerrard and C. O, Warfield and Mrs. Jackson and Miss Miller, who rendered «Jesus Lover of My Soul.” Rev. Smith followed with a short ser- mon on the immortality of the soul, in which he paid a tribute to the simple faith of the red man, whose conception of the hereafter if not as elaborate in theory as that of the white man was none the less sincere and en- titled to respect. Father Murphy followed with a short.address, in which he eulogized the memory of the chief and the many virtues which had commended him to the whites, At the conclusionof his remarks- the guartette ren- dered ‘“Asleep in Jesus,” and the casket was closed. The pall bearers were City. At- torney Russell, Judge Reynolds, Recorder Bailey and Aldermen Bowser, Graham and Hazen. The City band, a delegation from the Ellis drum corps and the Modern Woodmen formed an escort from the City hall. The band ren- dered “Nearer My God to Thee? as the body was being placed in the hearse, and escorted the with the = dead .march, “'Ilm Cossack.”’ The coremonies ab tue grave were brief. Rev. Smith com- mitted. the body by reading a section of a_chapter from - Revel: ‘ations and Father Murphy pro: nounced the benediction. The last resting place of- the chief is in the center plot of Greenwood and within a short time arrangements will be made to have it marked by a handsome monument which will tell the L story-of-his-friendshipand-wortly| to futuve generations.

WILLING TO CLOSE AT EIGHT Difference Regarding the Hour at Which Stores Shall Be Closed Delays Agreement. The movement started by the retail clerk’s association with the co-operation of a number-of the most prominent business-houses of-the_city stores does notmeet with unanimdus approval and two. of the best known clothing deal- rs in the city have not - yet signed the agreement. The clothing men say that last year when they closed at 6:30 that they are confident they lost money and wish to keep open until eight o’clock. The clerks announce that they have secured fifteen signatures to the agrecment so far and that it is only a question of a ‘short time until everybody will sign up. There is some bad feeling about the matter, however, and those who do not approve of the present arrangement are hark- ing back to the time when an agreement was made to close at those who are now most anxious to see the dealars agreed did not live up to. The clerks will have another mecting Monday night and all sides of the question will have a very thorough going over. To Finish the Course.
