A Horrible Death.

The news OF the death Of {. q. Reb-
stock, OF Liberty township, was received
in Garrett, Tuesday morning. We learn
the following regarding his death:
Mr.. Rebstock, his son. Ed, and daugh-
ter went out to burn the dead grass OF
pasture field. After starting the fire, Ed
went to Bush City-only short distance
Ito mail some letters, and the daughter
went to the house. Ed hurried back
home, but when he got there, his father
had not returned to the house. AS he
had been sick for some time, his absence
caused some anxiety. and Ed went cut
to hunt him, first going to the barn. He
was not there 30 Ed went out to the
pasture. After hunting while, he found
the dead body of his father. His clothes
were burned off, his whiskers and part
of his hair were gone, and parts OF his
body burned to crisp. Had he been in
his usual health, he could easily have
kept out of the way of the fire, but his
recent sickness had made him weak. Be
aides, he had been subject to heart trouble.
Therefore, it is not known whether he
burned to death or had an attack OF
heart trouble and died before the fire
reached him. 1t is hoped the latter was
the case 1t is terrible TO think that he
burned to death.
Mr. Rebstock was an old resident of
Anderson county-a pioneer. He was
well known all over the county, and he
enjoyed the highest respect OF all, His
death casts gloom over the community
and his place will be hard to fill. We
sincerely sympathize with the bereaved
family.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning.

Obituary..
morning.

Mrs. Laura E. Shull, wife of Jacob F.
Shull, died on Thursday evening of last
week. The funeral took place on Friday
Laura E. Osborn was born in Lee
county, ILL.,, Nov. 7, 1S47; moved from
Illinois to Kansas with her parents in
1860; was married to Jacob f. Shull,
May Fl. 1857. Eleven children were
born to them, eight of whom were gath
cred around their mothers bedside when
her spirit took its fight. Her kingdom
was her home, and she gave, lovingly and
faithfully, the best energies OF soul and
body for them. The browning glory OF
her life was vile and mother, and even
when her feet entered the cold river OF
Death, her thoughts were all for them.
Surely the spirit wife and mother still
watches over those she SO tenderly loved.
In her early life she joined the M. +.
church, and trusted her all to Him who
loved us and gave Himself for US. She
leaves, besides her husband and children,
a mother and three sisters and many
friends to mourn her death, but who are
comforted in the knowledge that HE
giveth His beloved sleep" 5. l.. l..

ALL KINDS OF RACES.
The Wheeling Events at the Park
To-MOrrOw.

Considerable interest has been awak-
ened in the bicycle events to take place
at Agricultural Park tomorrow after
noon. and they promise to be very ex-
citing.
In the first place there will be a great
desire to see Jake Hirsch of the Capt.
tai City Wheelmen and Barnes, the
Terminal City wheelman of Stockton,
in their contest to decide which is the
others master They will go ten miles,
instead of five as at first proposed,
and will have pacemakers. Barnes was
Hirschs adversary at the Stockton end
of the relay race last Sunday and was
beaten out by the latter. He claims
he was baked by outsiders, but
.'Jakey" insists that Barnes was beaten
because he was not speedy enough.
Barnes and his trainer are already
here preparing for the race.
The management has also arranged
an amateur one-mile handicap race, for
which several of the Stockton men
have entered. The entry list foots up
as follows:
Capital City Wheelmen-L. Turner,
E. Brown, Gil Eldred, H. Moves, T..
WEIGH. R. Hery, J. Schnerr, R. Wells,

Terminal City Observation-Disclosures
Fore, Deane Fraser, Elmer Miller,
Andy Rodgers and Orie Morris.
There will be three heats and a final.
The men will be paced by three profess
sional and three amateur tandem teams.
A sanction has been obtained from w.
L. Loos, Chairman of the Racing Board
of the California Associated Cycling
Clubs for the amateurs to ride with
professionals, the first time it has been
done on the coast.
A novel event will be the race be-
tween Oscar Julius and Iwar Lawson,
in which Julius will undertake to run
a half mile while Lawson rides a mile
on his wheel
There will be a professional tandem
pursuit race, three miles, in which the
tandems will go in opposite directions.
This style of race is said to be very
exciting
John Lawson, the long distance rider,
will go ten miles against running
horses, allowing a fresh horse for each
mile. There will also be a number of
exhibitions against time.
The sport will commence promptly at
= o'clock
