Mr. Bassett Sketches Miss McKib
ben's Life.
in
ve
u, t.
Z'U'
The morning service at the Trinity
Methodist Episcopal Chinch yesterday
was devoted to the memory of Miss
Mattie L. McKibben, of the Daughters
of Juarez school, who died of pneumonia
on last Tuesday morning. There was a
large audience in attendance, nearly all
of whom had known Miss McKibben in
life and who had admired her for her
many sterling qualities.' Tfye Rev. H.
A. Bassett, who returned last week from
his vacation, delivered a brief sketch of
the life of MIBS McKibben. Following
this be preached an interesting sermon
from the third chapter, eleventh verse
of Revelations, "Behold 1 come quick
ly." The sermon was particularly ap
propriate for the occasion. Mr. Baa*
sett's paper on Miss McKibben's life
was as follows:
'Miss Mattie L. McKibben, who pass
ed'to her eternal leward last Tuesday
morning, was a resident of Iowa for
many years. When she reached matur
ity and desiring an education, she en
tered the Iowa Wesleyan college from
which institution she was graduated
after having completed the full course.
For a number of years following she
taught school in various cities. She
was an enthusiastic and successful
teacher. Having given her heart to
God in early life she developed a strong
Obristian character and was an earnest
worker in all religious and philanthropic
efforts. Walking in the light of divine
guidance she was led to offer herself to
the missionary society for service in
some foreign field. It wqp about decid
ed that she should come to Mexico,
when her mother sickened and died.
Feeling that her duty was to her father
and biothers and sisters, she wrote the
church authorities asking to be released
from her engagement. For about six
years she assumed the responsibility of
the household matters in her father's
home.
Last year she again offered herself to
the missionary society and she was
appointed to teach in the womans' for
eign missionary school in this city. She
arrived here March 24 of the present
year. Her whole soul was in her pros
pect and not waiting to completely
learn the Spanish language sbe began
distributing tracts and doing such
other work as she could. Her enthus
iasm has perhaps never been surpass
ed by any worker in this field. Only a
short time elapsed until she was suffi
ciently familiar with the language to
be able to assume a large share of the
school duties. She was especially suc
cessful in training a large choir of
native young people who always led
the singing in the Mexican congrega
tion. Miss McKibben was also a very
efficient worker in our English services.
She always presided at the organ in
our Sunday school and at the Wednes
day evening prayer meeting. Her
loyalty to duty and her earnestness
made indelible impressions upon our
hearts.
She lived but a few months after
reachinsr this field but into those
months she crowded a great work, the
results of which will only be fully
known when the great record book oi
eternity is opened. In her last illness
she said to her associate teacher:
'When we all get Home with all these
children we will then feel that love's
labor hbs not been lost."
On Sunday, November 4, she assumed
her part in both the English and Mexi
can services. On Monday sbe was
feeling poorly and retired earlier than
usual. For two or three days she re
mained in her room hoping that she
was improving. On Thursday a physi
cian was summoned who pronounced
tier seriously ill with pneumonia
When informed of her condition she
replied, "I do not care to die as that
closes all opportunity for doing good.'
To another friend she said, "Do*not be
•anxious about me as I am prepared to
die if necessary." From Friday until
Tuesday morning, November 13, at one
o'clock, the hour of her death, sbe was
delirious much of the time. During
her rational moments Bhe said tbat she
has beard the children of the kinder
garden singing,
'siempre aqui
reposare"
.... "V"
"forever here my rest shall
be," only that "the music had more
tban earthly sweetness."
During Sunday and Monday she con
tinually grew worse and at one o'clock
Tuesday morning, November 13, her
spirit left the tenement of clay and
winged its flight to its eternal home."

night turned up at Bellows' livery barn
in the rear of Varney's store, where he
had been employed He was crazy drunk
and made several attempts to set fire to
the barn by lighting matches and throw
ing them into the mangers...The fire was
extinguished two or three times by Rox
ev Blackwell, a 16-year old boy wno was
also employed at the barn, but as fast
as one blaze was put out Mack would
start another and the boy gave the
alarm of "fire." City Marshal Evans
and others responded and Mack was ar
rested and. the incipient fires extingpish
ed. As they came in he was in the act
of touching a lighted match to the hay
in the loft and, had be succeeded there
would have been little chance of saving
the barn or possibly the buildings on the

before Justice Denison the next day
