A dispatch in the Kansas City Star OF
last Thursday, from Hiawatha, Kas., con-
tains the announcement hat A. L. Fall
loon and Miss Pearl E.. Herbrand had
been secretly married October 9 last, in
Kansas City, Kas. The marriage is said
to have been a complete surprise to every
one, as Falcon is attending the univer-
sity at Lawrence, Kas. The bride is re-
ported to be a leading society young lady.
Mr.. Falcon is well known in this city,
where he was formerly a student of W.
M. A, from which institution he gradua-
ted with due honors. He was an elocu-
ZIONIST OF considerable merit.
Dover Democrat: Among other things,
discussed at q meeting of the ex-Confed-
crate association, we find this taken from
the Kansas City Times: A the meeting
a movement was started for the removal;
of the remains of Major John N. Edwards
from Dover, Mo-, where they now lie, to
Forest Hill cemetery, where they could
rest beside those of his life-long friend,
General Shelby. No definite action was
taken last night, but the matter will be
taken up soon and the change will doubt
less be made" We speak by the card
when we say that the body of Major
Edwards lies in the spot selected by him.
self, IN the burial place of Mrs. Edwards
family. Mrs. Edwards and her children
may not object to the removal. About
that we are not prepared to speak, but
doubt it.
On next Wednesday, at Carson, Nevada,
one of the greatest pugilistic events of
the age will occur. Corbett n Fitzsim-
mons, neither of whom has ever met
defeat in the Squared circle" will do
battle for the worlds championship.
Both men are in splendid physical con-
dition. and are pretty well matched in
point Of strength, science and endurance.
They have been in training for several
weeks, and both are equally confident of
winning. Corbett at present holds the
championship. and we believe he will be
able to successfully defend his title
against the lanky bruiser from Austria
liza, and keep the championship honors on
American soil. 1t will be q battle in which
skill and science will prevail over brute
force, and for this reason is attracting
attention from parties who seldom take
any interest In such affairs.
The Jefferson City correspondent of the
st. Louis Republic has this to say of one
Of our citizens: One of the most inter-
ssting characters around the capitol these
days is Colonel Tom Young, OF Lafayette
county. mainly because of the tragic his
tory which his empty sleeve represents,
and the food OF recollections which the
sight of 1t sends sweeping through the
minds of the old ex- coDfederates here.
Colonel Young is q senate clerk. Ne
carries around In his body probably as
much lead as any man alive. Among
other wounds he received while following
the stars aud bars was one 10 the stom.
soh. Laparotomy was not then the per-
fectsd science that 1t IL today, and a stom-
aoh wound was considered almost neces-
sariIy fatal when Colonel Young's intes-
tines were ripped by a federal bullet,
Everybody but the colonel said he was
bound TO die when he fell with this
wound. But he declared that he wasn't,
a he is here today to tell the story
about it. However, that part OF his war
history isn't as important as another. 1t
was he who carried the challenge which
