consumption, aged % years, months
and 20 days. Funeral services were
held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock

For years deceased knew that the
grim destroyer had marked him for
his own, aud although he and his
parents did all they could to counter
act the ravages of the disease, and
prolong his life, yet he has been al
ways ready for the end. He engaged
in different occupations where he
could be much in the open air, for
the most part working at the trade
Of butcher. After working in Salins
for some time he went to st. Louis
and persued his occupation in one
OF the large packing establishments.
The disease making greater inrosds
upon his constitution he came home
about six weeks ago. Since his re-
turn he has been confined to the
house and lived as one whose END
was near, although 1t was hoped he
might live until Spring. His broth
ers Henry, Joseph and Frank arrived
home from eastern cities, where they
have good positions, in time for the
funeral.
1t has been but q few months since
Mr.. and Mrs. Bsier buried q dsugh-
ter, and this loss falls upon them at
this time with especial severity.

M the program. Nearly one hun
dred performers were on the stage,
aud their renditions were all good.
Bethany band opened the program
with . selection frsm Nabucco,
which WAS well rendered. The col
lege chair then sang q chorus by
Soderman, entitled "In YOUTH"
after which Prof Hapgood, sang the
"Dying Soldier" . bass solo. He
was enchored, and responded very
appropriately. His voice and self
possession were both greatly admir-
ed. 1t remained however for Prof.
Franz Zedeler, with his violin, to
capture the audience. His rendition
Of Mayors "Fantasie Brillsnte,"
was q revelation to Q Saliva audience.
He Is Q wonderful violinist, and his
efforts here were fully appreciated.
We would rather he lived i'm Salina,
but not living here, We are we'll
pleased that he has selected Linds-
borg as his place abode. He Is q

would be well spent, In listening to
his selections.

10 the audience for applause, and IL
was given them generously. Prof.
Ledeler leads the orchestra, and his
is apparent. The time, skill

A special train in the evening
rought many admirers from Linds-
