Obituary.
JOHN b. HOFFMAN,

John B. Hoffman, eldest surviving son of
that grand old patriarch, John Hoffman, is
dead. Death, with his ever.swinging scythe
Of destruction, has snatched him from the
bosom of his family while yet the prime Of
manhood strengthened him for life's strug-
gle, and the home, in which but five weeks
ago childish laughter and loving happiness
reigned supreme, is bowed in the loss of a
father and counselor.
Mr.. Hoffman was taken with severe cold
about five weeks ago, which sat so heavily
upon him that he was shortly taken to his
bed with typhoid pneumonia. The family
and friends apprehended nothing but a
speedy recovery, but he daily grew weaker
and less able to withstand the ravages of
the deadly maady, expiring on Thursday
morning.
He was born in La Sale Oct 0, 1910, and
spent his oyhood and youth in that city,
finally locating with his father in Mendoza.
There he engaged in the pursuit of hus
bandry, to which he seemed especially
adapted. He leaves a wife and family of
seven children,
The mortuary ceremonies over, the re-
mains were consigned to the tomb on Thurs
day morning, but his memory lies fresh and
green in the hearts of lifelong friends who
had known his true worth
FRANK r. sTAHL.
Frank +. Stahl. son Of H. G. Stahl. of
this city, died of Arkansas fever and rheu-
mstism at Denver, Col, on Monday.
The news of his death produced sadden-
ing effect upon his many friends and
scqusintsnces here, for the only intimation
Of his serious illness came via the telegraph
on Saturday, and before steam could carry
his anxious father to his bedside, message
at Geneseo announced his death.
Frank vas % years Of age and had a flu
ture before him seldom equalled by young
men of his age lie came to this city a
STRIPPING, in '73, and after finishing school
course learned telegraphy and secured the
Seneca key. He held this position until
three years ago, when he entered the en-
ploy of the Denver and Rio Grande road in
q similar capacity. Recognizing his bust
ness ability and tact in management, the
road placed him in the pay car as conductor,
in which position death ended his earthly
services.
His remains arrived here on the Rock
Island on Friday morning. and from thence
to the home of his sorrowing parents, where
weeping friends and relatives kept vigil
through the night He will be buried at
SOmonauk, via the Burlington road, to-day

The richest scene the west side has
witnessed for weeks, occurred on that
portion of the city on Wednesday afternoon.
A young couple had determined upon en-
tering the hymenal state, and as three big
sisters of the bride were opposed, she pro-
cured the concent of the fourth and eldest,
and the knot was soon tied. Just as they
left the church door, two of the three b. s.
appeared on the scene and chased the cab
through the city to the eldest sisters house
on the west side, screaming stop, stop" at
every leap. When they arrived, there was
lively time 10 lovely for cold type, and
now the Wat IS all over bu: the parties are
not reconciled

The Boston Market.

The butter market continues very firm
on fresh made goods, with advanced quo
tations well sustained. The receipts of
this grade have been steadily decreasing
and as there is a good demand prices are
obtained. The high prices for fresh
creameries has sent considerable trade
to the next lower grades, but there is
plenty of stock on hand and present pri-
ces are ruling, with very little prospect
of any change. There is still fair de-
mand for the lowest grades at unchanged
quotations. Cheese continues very firm
and full prices are ruling, although there
is only fair demand, but holders are
firm in their views and ask outside quo
tations for choice stock. The receipts
are moderate, but country prices are
dear. On eggs there is firm market
for choice stock, particularly Eastern.
Receipts are moderate and demand
good. Western are also in light supply
with choice fresh eggs held for outside
quotations. Trade is generally good on
fresh stock. but on old and ice-house
eggs, which are plenty, there is very
little doing.
There is a steady increase in the re-
ceipts of poultry, and the market is still
easy. Choice arrivals Will command
full prices, but on everything else there
is weak market The demand is healthy
and all grades are having some move
ment. The market on beans is steady,
with a good demand at unchanged prices
The receipts are moderate, but the ar
rivals are moving readily. Yellow eyes
are scarce and command full prices.
Peas are in fair demand, with the offer
inss moderate. Hay is steady, with the
demand good for all grades. Fancy will
bring little more than quotations. Rye
straw is firm, with receipts moderate
and demand far. Seeds are steady, with
timothy and clover unchanged and red
tops firm. Potatoes are ruling steady.
The receipts are large, but there is a
good demand and arrivals are readily
disposed of at the prices quoted. which
are unchanged. Sweets are In large
supply, with trade slow and prices work
ing into the buyers favor. Tallow is
steady and unchanged.
