Mrs. Dora Peters of Waco Succumbs to
the Grim Peaper.
A telephone message from Waco
Wednesday conveyed to Mr.. Alex
Simon the sad intelligence of the
death of his sister, Mrs. Dora Peters,
at 8 o'clock a. m. About week ago
Mr.. Simon was called to the bed
side of Mrs. Peters, leaving her, it
was thought, considerably improved.
The improvement was only tenn
porary, swiftly followed by a fatal
relapse.
Mrs. Peters was a native of
Konin, Russian Poland, born in
1921, and had been a resident of
Texas since 1871. She resided in
Brennan number of years, NOV
ing to Waco only a few years
ago, much to the regret of the
large circle of warm friends, by
whom she was held in great es-.
TEEN for her many admirable traits
of character, and who will learn
with deep sorrow of her demise.
She leaves three daughters, three
brothers and one sister to mourn
her death, in addition to numerous
other relatives and friends. The
daughters are Mrs. Fl. Gross and
Misses Sarah and Rachel Peters, of
Waco. The brothers, Mr.. Alex
Simon of this city, Mr.. Jacob Simon
of New York, and Mr.. Abram Simon
of Konin, Russian Poland. The
sister is Mrs. Hester Morriss of
New York.
Mrs. Peters remains are expected
to arrive at S O'Clock this morning
via the Santa Fe. The funeral will
take place from the residence of
Mr.. A. Simon at 8 p. m. to-day.

Mrs. Margaret Hogan, worried into tenn

sickness, made away with herself Wednes-

barn back of her residence at 1898 Eight

The husband, Patrick Hogan, is a team

ago by an accident to his spine. He could
not dress himself unassisted, much less do
any work. and he rented his team. his
wife feeding and caring for the horses

work. The OLD couple were not in want

Mrs. Hogan worried so much that bout a

known the poison was taken away from

1t was her habit to get up early every
morning to feed the horses. Wednesday

the barn. She remained longer than
seemed to be necessary, and her husban d

The demise of the Garden City Cyclers
is to be greatly regretted as the club was
power in cycling circles on the coast and
controlled one of the finest tracks in the
State. Its race meets used to attract the
flower of San Jose society, besides num-
berless wheelmen and deyotees of the
sport from this City and Oakland. There
was time when its membership num-
bered over 800.
1t would seem that San Jose should sup
port at least Cna strong, active cycling
club. 1t is evident that the one-man gov
ernment that is said to have caused the
downfall of the old club should not pre-
vail, but good board OF directors could
be chosen, composed of many of the old
memb bers who still have an interest in the
sport, and who knows but that we may
again taste the hospitality of the Garden

HIS ROM ANCE ENDED.
August Fehlmann, Disappointed in
Love aud Out of Work, Killed
Himself.

August Fehlmann, aged about 35 years,
was found dead in bed in his room in the
New Western Hotel, having committed
suicide by inhaling Illuminating gas. One
of the chambermaids noticed a strong
o1or of gas at about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing. and when the door was forced open
the gas was found turned on at full force.
Fehlmann had torn the bedsheets into
strips, and with them had plugged up the
keyhole and the creviCes in the transom
and the window sash. Then he turned on
the gas and lay down to die. He left no
writing that would throw light upon the
reasons why he made away with himself.
Among his effects was found letter from
his brother Herman dated from Denver,
Colo, last May, in which Herman con-
graduates August on having secured a
situation after such a long run of bad luck.
The writer tells also of girl named
Rachel, upon whom August was sweet,
and about whom the boys used to twit
August. Herman informs August that
Rachel is keeping company with the other
boys.
1t is believed that the deceased became
despondent because he got out of work
and was without means. The Coroner
will hold an inquest.

CRICKET CHIRPS.
Rumored Death of William Robert

Lake County,

Rumored Death of William Robert
son Untrue-The Game in
Lake County.
A report spread through the local cricket
circles this week that William Robertson,
better known as ''Billy" Robertson, the
late captain of the Bohemian Cricket Club
Moa1o between here and New Zealand,
en- voyage for Melbourne. The informa-
ton was traced to its source and Robert
son's numerous friends will be glad to
learn that the rumor was another instance
OF the three black crows.
The Lake County cricketers keep ND
their home practice. DR.. Ernest Barry,
who has just returned from a short sum-
mer outing, reports having a very enjoy
able game at Lakeport The Lakies are
preparing for their onslaught on Penryn
this autumn.
E. G. Sloman of the Bohemian Cricket
Club of this City and c. Simmonds of the
the only two local cricketers who are GER
turians this season.
J. Gum, nephew of w. Gum, had a
remarkable bowling analysis in the Notts
VS.. Yorkshire match, while playing for th e
former county. He took six wickets for
% runs III the first inning and four for IA
in the second. Time will prove whether the
youngster is q phenomenon, althoug b
Yorkshire usually has a habit of picking
cricket bubbles.
In the Yorkshire VS.. Sussex match
Brown OF Yorkshire made the record score
for professional batsman in a first-class
match. He made 311 runs in the first in
ming.
c. B. Fry in a recent article states tn at
Lockwood, at his best, is a better bowler
than Richardson of Surrey. This is not
generally conceded by other cricketers.
The Shasta County Cricket Club has re-
ceived severe blow by the shutting down
OF the Mountain Copper mine of Keswick.
A great mauv of the employees are keen
cricketers, and the temporary suspension
will doubtless scatter them.
| Cricket is a very poetical game in the
Channel Islands, as Guernsey has a bowler
named Shakespeare, and possibly the
Jersey Lily studies the muse on the
cricket-tied.
Most OF the Placer County cricketers are
summerng in San Francisco. The sun is
sometimes 100 hot up their way.
The last two cup matches both ended in
draws. This would seem to indicate that
as the season advances the batsmen OBJ
tain the mastery over the bowling. If the
| matches were started earlier in the morn
ing each side could easily have their full
| innings.
The Pacific Club will play Alameda at
the Webster-street grounds, Alameda, to-
morrow. A close game is to be expected,
as twice this season the margin OF victory
has been decided bv under ten runs.
The Pacifics Will play: Dickinson. Sc
we'll, Musson, G. TheobaId, Myers, Hill.
McGaw, Harbour, Cassidy Tiede mann
and Wiseman. The Alameda team will
