joyable affair, and was attended by q
jolly company of young people. The

gage full orchestra, which will add
to the musical feature of the parties.

For the past week there has been no
activity in the wheat market here.
The best offers for No. were 46 cents,
and at that price farmers refuse to
sell. A majority of those who can. will
hold their wheat while longer hoping

ture.
The terrible tragedy that occurred
here this morning was the fruits of a
too indulgent community. For years
Brown has been in the habit of abus-
ing his wife whenever under the in
f1uence of liquor. Had he been called
to account for his misdeeds years ago,
be would probably have not been 80
bold IS to attempt to take the life of
his wife.
The funeral of Mrs. Davis took place
yesterday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
lrom the family residence. The
Episcopal service for the dead was
read by Rev. Jos. DeForest. and
number of songs we're rendered by the
choir. after which the remains were
carried to the Odd Fellows cemetery,
where the burial services of the Rath-
bone Sisters we're read at the grave.
The brutal assault made by W. r.
Brown on his wife this morning has
.aised general indignation, and were
his not cool and deliberate commun-
ty. Browns body would be ornament
ng lamp post instead of his being
comfortably housed in the county Jail.
But better judgment prevails, and the
aw will be allowed to take its course.
Thursday night, Billy Hoering was
his trotter on Union ave-
Tue, and when attempting to turn into
Ninth street, the horse climbed rock
Vie back of Phillips store, leaving
Billy in the street. The animal es-
aped, send Billy hunted all night and
lntil late yesterday afternoon before
10 found it tangled up in picket
snce near the old garrison. The ami
nal was not injured, neither was Billy,
ut the cart was total wreck.
