DIE D.

McKELvEY-April z, at u:30 q m,
George l. McKelvey, aged 81 years.
Mr.. McKelvey was born at Berlin,
Wisconsin, April Z, 1857 and, died on the
thirty-seventh anniversary of his birth
day.
He was married October 4, 1883, to
Miss Nelia Matthews of this city.
For eight or ten years past he had
been q resident Of Fullerton, and came
here March Let to attend the funeral Of
Mr.. Matthews, Mn. McKelvey's grand
father. On Sunday morning following.
March 4, while going to the drug store
for medicine, Mr.. McKelvey was most
brutally and cowardly assaulted by one
Jack Esan, knocked down and kicked
otter down, and from these injuries he
never recovered. A post-mortem ex-
animation was held, the result Of which
is with the physicians.
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church, Rev. Bross preaching
the sermon, Rev. Elliott leading in
prayer. The beautiful ritual Of the Odd
Fellows was observed both at the church
and the cemetery, many members ofthat
order and Of the Knights OF Pythias
being present.
The deceased leaves his widow and
two little daughters, Hazel and Mar
garite, aged respectively eight and four
years to mourn the loss Of loving hus-
band and father.

higher in the estimation Of the public, in
all especial points, than the Chicago,

Henry 7. Spoerry, the retiring men,
Der Of the city council from the First
ward, has done conscientious work from
the start. We believe that he did not
lose any time from his duties Except,
perhaps, for brief while, when he was
absent from the city; he certainly took
an active, lively interest in all that came
before the council for consideration;
and, having his time wholly at his own
disposal, very much of it was given for
the benefit Of this city. On some sub
jects he was not in line with the council,
but after making strenuous contests for
his views, when voted down, he always
submitted with good grace, and con-
tinued to work along just the same as

John E. Hoffman, the retiring coun-
Gilman Of the Second ward, has made
most careful, painstaking official. We
never could see that he had any fault
but one in the discharge of his duties
and that is that he is altogether too
modest for his merit, but even this was
not allowed to interfere when matters of
importance came up. When he address
ed the council, his remarks were always
to the point, and We do not recall an in
stance where bis vote was not cast for

Clarence Newman, the retiring men,
ber of the council from the Third ward,
made one Of the most efficient members
Of that body, the legislature Of our city.
Chairman of the committee on finance,
he gained the sobriquet "Watch dog of
the Treasury" which he we'll deserved,
and in an honorable sense. The Office of
councilman is one, more of honor than
Of emolument, and where credit is due
We believe credit ought to be given, for
faithful work done in the service OF the
public. Mr.. Newman's knowledge Of
public affairs, gained by official service
in other Offices in the county, has been
available during his term for the benefit
of the taxpayers Of the city.

The city Of Indianapolis had suit
against q brewers association under an
ordinance Of the city providing that all
breweries and distilleries depOts or
Offices must pay $1,000 before they can
operate. 1t was contested. The con-
tention on the part Of tho association
was that the ordinance was a discrimi-
nation in favor Of local dealers and q
hindrance to interstate commerce. Chief
Justice Howard Of the supreme court of
Indiana, in a decision on the 18th of
March, held that these companies were
subject to the laws of the state and to
the same police regulations as if their
liquors had been produced in the state
1t would be advisable, doubtless, for
Nebraska cities and towns to look up
this matter, and at least do justice to
home interests. No discrimination in
favor of outsiders.

TRIALS OF A LONE DUCK.
Compelled to Fight Murdcrous Toy Ships
His Victory.


His Victory.
The children up at the pond at Sew.
enty-siXth street, on the east side of the
park, have great fun with the solitary
duck inhabitant. This duck has none
of the shyness of the squirrels. He is a
bold and brazen bird, and will make
futile attempts to climb up the per.
pendicular stonework surrounding the
pond in the hope of finding u cracker.
Crackers are his chief article of diet
Not ordinary crackers, but fancy ones
in queer shapes at twenty-five cents Il
pound. Little rich children, who are
bored to death by the necessity of look
ing after their French nursemaids,
come to the pond every morning for the
purpose of fattcning that duck on sweet
crackers
They stand on the brink and shout
'Dutty, duty; tum an det n tratter." !"
and every few minutes, one of them
falls in.
The duck doesn't let this disturb him,
however. His mind and soul are on
crackers, sweet crackers in animal
shapes preferred. but in the absence OF
these he'll eat anything from bread
crust to doughnuts.
Undoubtedly he would soon grow SC
fat that he couldn't paddle but for the
enforced exercise he gets every after
noon. Then children of a larger growth
come and sail toy ships when there is
wind, and if there is one thing that he
duck breads more than another il is IL
toy ship.
No sooner is one set in the water
than, squ;wking, quacking and flap
ping his wings, he hees to the utter
most corner. only to find another there,
perhaps.
| His afternoons are one wrctched sue
cession of wild twistings and turnings
and divings.
One day last week, having been
hemmed in a corner by three boats, he
dived and came up outside the block
| ade, only to find miniature schooner
bearing down on him.
With a squawl1 of dislnay he swerved,
and a sloop on the other tack took him
squarely amidships.
Down he dived deep, stayed there for
few seconds, and just as his head
came out of the water big sloop
bumped into him. Then there was
trouble,
His duclsship arose. and then there
was wrath in his quacls. With his bill
he seized the bowsprit of the sloop and
pulled it down under the water.
Then he grabbed the iib. tore that off.
tackled the mainsail and ripped it ur
the middle, and with IL note of triumph
Tapped "a big wing over the stern and
tipped the boat over.
Flushed with triumph he proceeded
leisurely To demolish the rigging and
all else brcakuble or tenrublc, while
from the bank the walls of the ship
owner were waited afar on the aim.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The circular silo is advocated be-
cause it has no corners to spoil the en-
silage.
FAT can be produced cheaper than
lean; always fatten before sending to
market.
SUGAR beets are frst-class fattening
food, when fed with corn. for hogs in
winter. Grow some for that purpose
OvERFEEDING pigs is bad and fatal
business. If it occurs stop feeding en-
tirely, except thin slop, until the
stomach gets into a normal condition.
THERE is an antidiluvian humane
society in Poughlseepsie, N. Y, that
has secured the arrest of man there
for dehorning cattle. But the stupid
concern never has a word to say about
the people who are killed and the ami.
mails that are injured by horns.
PUMPKINS make good food for cattle
in the winter, and they are no trouble
at all to grow. Plant a patch of pump.
kins, gather them as soon as the first
frost touches the leaves, put them in a
cool place, and you will find them q
grand thing for either cattle or swine.
