April 29, Mrs. Delnora E. K ester son, aged 32 years, 10 months and 27 days. While her death was expected from the dread disease from which she was suffering it was not thought she would pass away so quickly. Mrs. Kesterson suffered from tuberculosis. Deceased was born in Kansas June 2, 1880, coming to Oregon with her parents tv o years later and in 1890 cum to Burns where she spent her girl hood. She attended school in this place and in 1996 was marri to Grant Kesterson.

The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the Masonic hall, the Order of East tern Star conducting the service, assisted by Dr. Babbidge of the Presbyterian church. Mrs. Kes terson was a member of the Eastern Star and also a member of the local Women of Woodcraft Circle, having an insurance policy in the latter. The funeral was largely attended by sorrowing friends who held her in high esteem. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of thiB com munity where all have resided for so many years. Delightful Piano Recital One of the most delightful musical programs ever rendered in Burns was given at Tonawama Tuesday evening of thin week by the piano pupil i of Mrs. C. A. Rembold assisted by Mjrh Ixuel Smith and Piatt Randall in vocal numbers and Agnos Foley with two violin solos. The entire program was thornuuhly enjoyed by a large company of people that filled every available seat in the house. Mrs. Rembold was highly complimented and praised for her efforts us the pupils showed marked improvement in the artistic work, some of them renderind very difficult numbers. Burns is certainly to be con gratulated on having such an ub'e lady to instruct the young people in music and as Mm. Rembold is a thorough artist she is develop ing some exceptional talent in her line of work. Such entertain ments ub that of Tuesday even ing gives Burns a decided ad vantage by way of comparison in musical lines and those who took part are receiving the con gratulations of all. The Times-Herald published the program in its last issue and therefore it will not be repeated thiB week. The character of music and the manner of handl ing it by very young pupils was the wonder of many present who are musical and fully appreciate such.

The plans and specifications call for stone to first floor, brick above to win dow heads and frame and metal lathe and plaster above floor of auditorium. The plans call for the building complete. The building committee has been quite active the past few days and it is expected to have the old building removed and the contract let for the new building within a very short time.
