Try it Regarding the funeral of E. Anler, the fireman who, last week, lost his life iu the railroad wreck here, an Oshkosh paper has the following to say: The funeral of the late Ernst Anler, who was killed in a railway wreck at McHenry. Ills., was held Thursday aft ernoon with services at 2:80 o'clock at the home of the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Martha Aaler, 180 Rosalia street. Tbere was such a large attendance of relatives and friends the hotifee was crowded to overflowing. That the young man was held in high esteem was evidaut in the abundance of the floral tributes. There were many set pieces and bonquets, including a number of offerings from railway fire­ men and engineers and lodge friends of Chicago. Rev. Theodore Irion of the North Park avenue Lutheran church officiated at the residence and at the grave at Riverside cemetery under the auspices of the Plattdeutsche Gilde of Garfield Park, 111., in which organiza­ tion the deceased recently became a member. Mr. Auler had for the greater part of seven years been in the employ of the Chicago & NorthwesternRailWay compauy, and was almost thirty-one yeara old, having been born on July Jg5, 1877. E. M.

It will add very much to the appearance in that locality, and he is deserving ot thanks for the same.

The first day the different clawes of fine wool sheep will be exam­ ined by a committee from the Wiscon­ sin association, and the second day will be devoted to shearing. Benson Hanly has bought a milk route in Chicago and is now in that city and will move his family there abont May 1st.
