Miss Elga Irish, daughter of C. J. Irish of Kellogg, died this morning after an illness of several months.

She came down from Des Moines in February, having been there attending college, and was then in failing health. Since then she had been traveling and everything possible had been done for her, without avail.

She was 19 years of age and a most charming and lovable young lady. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed but will probably be Saturday afternoon.

Misses Lena Mobberly and Effie Clawson came up from Kellogg this morning on business connected with the funeral.
