Elks Memorial Service: It was a fine tribute of respect which was paid by the Elks Sunday afternoon to their departed brothers, who have passed to their home beyond. They marched in a body to the Gale theatre where the memorial exercises were held. The officials of the lodge were seated on the stage, where Exalted Ruler MILNE presided over the exercises. A quartet number was rendered by Misses Florence MORRIS, Mina HAGER, M. R. TOURMIER and W. B. GORMLEY, with Mrs. Maude SILABY-NICHOHR at the piano. The invocation was given by Rev. F. B. BARNETT. During the reading of the ritual the exalted ruler asked for the roll call of the deceased, and the names of the following were read:

Brothers FLEMMER, BARNETT, MCKINLEY, SCHMIDT, and WOODS, the three later having passed away within the year. The address of the afternoon was given by O.L. BRANSON.

Sunday morning Mrs. A. R. MCCONNELL passed away at her home, 519 Third Avenue west, after an illness which lasted nearly two months. The physicians gave as the cause of her death Hydro-Thorax. Some three months ago, after Mr. & Mrs. Mcconnell returned from their extended trip out west the deceased developed the illness which brroadened and finally ended her life. Being taken first with a slight cough, she was conscious up to the moment of her death and bid the husband, children, and other relatives goodbye. The mother, Mrs. George Smith, of Cleghorn, Iowa, and one brother, Frank Smith, of Humboldt, were also here. Mrs. McConnell was 28 years of age and was married to A. R. McConnell at Cleghorn, Iowa, ten years ago. Four little sons were born to the union and one of them died a year ago. They have resided at Wessington Springs for a number of years and they moved to Mitchell early in the year. Brief funeral services were held at the residence this afternoon and were conducted by Dr. J. S. HOAGLAND, pastor of the Methodist church. The remains were taken to Wessington Springs on the afternoon train.

Plankinton - Word was received here that William FRASER was accidentally hurt at the home of his son in Belford township Monday night and that he died the day following from the effects. He opened a door to go into an adjoining room to which proved to be the door to the cellar. Mr. Fraser fell down the stairway and received severe injuries about the head and shoulders, which caused his death. Mr. Fraser was one of Aurora counties oldest citizens and has lived here many years. He formerly lived in the vicinity of Mitchell, where he has several sons. Mr. Fraser, years ago, was a familiar figure on the race track at Mitchell's races, taking his stallion General Thomas down there to compete with local talent and he very frequently came back home with first money in his pocket. Mr. Fraser was born in Leeds, Megan?? county, Province of Quebec Canada, September 22, 1820 where he grew to manhood. On January 10th, 1849 he was married to Abigail EAGER of Leeds. To them were born ten children, all of whom are now living except the oldest daughter, who with her mother were waiting to welcome him home. Mr. Fraser was of the Presbyterian faith and although for many years he had not been a member of any church he has always been a deeply religious man and a Christian in truest sense of the word. His last years have been full of trust and a happy waiting of an abundant entrance into that nest which is promiced to all who love the Lord. The funeral services were held Saturday morning, by Rev. HANSBERGER, being delayed awaiting the arrival of relatives from the east. Burial will be in Mizpah Cemetery.

The infant daughter, Mary, of Mr. & Mrs. Michael BRENNAN, died this morning aged two months and eight days. The little one had been ill for several weeks and it died from a complication of diseases. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence on Railroad Street.
