Mrs. Smith showed remarkable vitality during the period after she was injured, but her constitution enfeebled by her great weight of years, was not able to withstand the shock resulting from her injuries, end last night she began to show Indications of a general breaking down of her system. Her family hoped that she might recover, but realized that her years were counting against her in the contest between Life and Death.

Sho had been resting comfortably, but accustomed as she was to a life of activity she could not stand the confinement which was made necessary by her broken hip, and her vigorous old constitution gave away. On Sunday evening two weeks ago while crossing the floor, of her bedchamber, Mrs. Smith stumbled and fell to the floor. It was found she had sustained a fracture of the hip and the fall was the direct cause of her death. Mrs.

Smith was born at Petersbor- ougb, New Hampshire, Jan. 23, 1815. She was married Sept. 13, 1843, and moved to St. Louis, where she lived until 1862, since which time her home has been in Alton.

She possessed a loving trustful nature, and with an entire forgetfulness of self, the one thought of her life was to lighten the burdens of others, leaving, her trials with "Faith that never falters forgiving all, trusting all. Yea this is life; make this her crown sublime; this afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer, and time is conquered, thy crown is won." The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Smith was bold yesterday at the home of her son, Wm. Eliot Smith, at Elm Ridge. Rev.

George Gebauer, of the Unitarian church, was the officiating minister. He read the Unitarian burial service and delivered a short address on the life and character of Mrs. Smith. The Unitarian quartet consisting of Misses Lillian Root, Alice Phillips, Messrs. C.

Bad Tramp Escaped trora Hospital. The tramp with whom Officer Henry Spaet had two fights Sunday and who was wounded twice in the leg by bullets from the officer's revolver, again demonstt ated his unruly nature by escaping St.

Joseph's hospital Tuesday. He gives several names and it is evident that be is a croOk who is wanted somewhere and that he is hot happv at being under restraint for fear that his past record may be uncovered. He said his name is Henry Galliken, and today he told a newspaper reporter his name Is James Corrigan. He left the hospital early this morning and the police were notified at once. The bad tramp waslfound in a shanty boat on the sand bar, hiding under the "rake" of the hull, where he had been placed by four others and wrapped in coats which his fellow tramps had contributed.

The prisoner was dragged from his hiding place and taken to jail, where he now locked up with his four companions. The five tramps had been making tours of the city, begging money and food. They are genuine fakirs, and the police believe that in the person of Calliken, or Corrigan, they have man. He will be held pending an investigation.

Boals against Charles Ginsler and Henry Brockman to oust them from land claimed by the city as well as by the plaintiff has been continued in Justice Few's court until Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The city feels secure in her to the land and city officials have no fear of the ultimate result in any court in the land.

They have in their possession a deed from the original owners, Wm Russell and C. W. Hunter, in which they dedicate the property in dispute, it Is alleged, to the City of Alton as a "Public City Commons which can never be owned by any individual or private corporation." The deed was made in August 1837 and acknowledged before ustfce of the Peace Robbins, and is recorded in the record books at Edwardaville. The grantors' idea seem to have been the makinp of a park for the use and pleasure of Altonians, or the conversion of the property into utilities, the benefits of which are to accrue to the city, for the good of and participation In of all the citizens.

High Pressure Days. Men and women alike have to work incessantly with brain and haad to hold their 5 own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, tbe requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous sys- stem, which results In dysnepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme oases in complete nervous prostration. It is clearly that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give victor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative functions healthy and active.

From personal knowledge, we can recommend Hood's Sarsarparilla for this purpose. It acts on all tbe vital organs, builds up the whole system, and fits men and women for these high pressure days.

At the meeting of the board of education Tuesdav evening it was decided to postpone the time of receiving and opening the bids for the new high school building one week.

Some of the Alton contractors represented to the school board that thev had not been given time to make out their bids and as it is desired to give the Alton contractors all the time needed and to give home men every chance to take the contract, it was decided to postpone the opening of tbe proposals. Some of the outside contractors were very much dissatisfied with this decision and some became very angry about it, but they were informed that they were being given ah opportunity to correct their own bids and to look over them before finally submitting them, and had the liberty of withdrawing; them. Every bidder withdrew bis bid and they will be again submitted next Tuesday night. The action of the school board is right and it has unlimited discretion In this matter. All the contractors have been treated fairly and there should be no complaint- As one Alton builder puts it, "the outside bidders should consider themselves fortunate to have ah opportunity to bid and should be willing to give the home men every chance."

The alumni and the students of Shurtleff College and the friends of the late Dr. Adin Kendrick are talking today of a fitting memorial to Dr. Kendrick, which would perpetuate his memory in the college world and especially among th.e Shurtleff students In tbe years to come.

It is fitting that the memory of tbe man should be kept, green in tbe minds of the people. He labored long and conscientiously for the good of Shurtleff and now that he is gone an effort should be made by tbe people of tbe Altons and the alumni of tbe college to help do what be so long strived to accomplish. No monument could better perpetuate his name than a new addition to Shurtleff College. It is suggested by President S. A.

McKay, that Dr. Kendrick's dearest wish would be fulfilled if a library building, to be a memorial of him, could be erected. NJ stone at the cemetery would be half a so forcible and constant reminder of him and his work, and in the minds of the living bis memory would never be effaced. It will be suggested to the members of the Shurtleff Alumni Association that some steps be taken toward formlue a fund, to which thousands of the alumni of the college would contribute, to erect a library building to be kuown as the Kendrick Memorial building. The has been endorsed by Dr, McKay and It is probable that ft will be carried out in the future.
