has been in the ring in Omaha several
times. and, although Gardner has appeared
only once, his showing against Ole oleson
on that occasion made him a warm fayorite
here.
The second reason why unusual interest

The nineteenth week Of play in the
Omaha Bowling league mas Witnessed a
general shaking up In the relative positions
Of both teams and Individual rollers in the
relative standings. At the same time Il
has been e week Of fairly good play, the
pace set the previous week having been
maintained by most Of the clubs, and bet
tered by q few.
The omahas increased their lead for hfst
place somewhat, defeating the Gate City
men two games, and pronting further by
the drubbing the st. Charles team admin
istered to the Clarksons. TIL play OF the
champions was practically the same as that
Of the week before. being thirty-nine pins
lower on total score. Meanwhile the Ger
mans were the hit OF the week by making a
great leap from fourth place TO tie with the
Ciarksons for second. The Germans beat
the Westerns three games straight. and
their total was 1ss pins better than the last
one they made.
The Clsrksons fell down mlserably. their
score dropping 40 points in the week. and
the 81. Charles team took three from them,
but the latter men did not have to play
very hard to do II, 50 their own score
showed a decrease Of 1913 points from that
OF the week before. The Clarksons had
such a big lead for second place, however.
that neither their own disaster nor the
successes OF other teams combined was
sufneient 10 head them for the position.
The Nationals improved their game 1ss
points, and took two from the Krug Parks.
who also bettered their scores. There
were no new high scores for teams set. and
the only radical change in averages was
that by the Nationals, who Increased theirs
sixteen pins. -
With the individual players Emery Of the
omahaS has done himself proud by going
from third place to q safe hrst- He is one
Of the surest boVlers in Omaha, and was
the only man who was aole to make q, con-
sistent showing against the Kansas City

team a week ago. (Fritscher and Hollis are
second and third.

The best total score OF the week was
that Of the omahas, 1884, while the same
team rolled the best single game, 924.
Charles Seaman OF the Gate City team threw
the best Individual total for three games,
5s4, and he also tied with carp OF the
omahas for high score in a single game,
2I7.
Two bowling events, one just passed and
the other to come, have done much to spur
on the interest in the sport. The first was
the contest with the Kansas City cham
piuns. This brought out a crowd that over
taxed the space in Clark's alleys, and It
Just served TO show what a strong hold
the game has on the people. and in what

laid its captivating snares.
The second event is the tournament Of two

FACTORY TO LEAVE
Rock Island Shoe Company Be-
comes Pontiac Insti-
tuition.
LOCAL CAPITAL Is TO BE SOLD
Plant Here Will Be Operated Pend
ing Building ofNew
Quarters.

The Rock Island Shoe company is a
thing of the past. Saturday evening
the office employees were paid off and
discharged and today no one was on
duty at the plant but the engineer.
The solution of the action appears
in a press dispatch from Springfield
which-chronicles the granting of ar
ticles of incorporation to the Pom
tiac Nethersole Shoe company, to be
located at Pontiac, III. The capital
stock is 100000, and the incorpora-
tors are c. 5. Peaslee, II. NJ. John and
S. +, Sims.
The new concern takes hold of the
Rock Island Shoe company at once
and will operate the plant till Nov.
1, when the removal is expected to
take place.
VIII Run Awhile.
The plant, which has been practio-
ally shut down for the past few
weeks, will be started up next Mon
day and run at full capacity till the
new building at Pontiac, which has
already been begun, is completed.
c. 5. Peaslee, manager of the old
company and head of the new, today
stated InaI the ROCK 1Sldllu cdDltai
interested in the old company will
pass to the new. The former was
capitalized at $4,000, $4,000 of
which will be absorbed by the stock
holders. Thus $4,000 of the stock
of the new company will be furnished
by the old and the remainder will be
put up mt Pontiac.
The new building, for which ground
was broken Wednesday. Will be
four-story affair and 1852 by A feet
in ground dimensions. Mr.. Pcaslee
states that the new company will
employ about two hundred hands
when in full operation. There was
no bonus offered for the removal of
the factory, he declares.
Easier to Secure Help There.
The sole object sought in going to
Poiftiac, it is claimed. is to get into
a shoe manufacturing town, whefe
help can be more easily secured and
kept. For the reason indicated Mr..
Peaslee. declares that it has been
foutd fmpracticable to operate at a
profit and expand as the trade of the
company warrants while remaining
in this city.

PETER FRIES DEAD
Pioneer Business Man Succumbs
to Effects of ParaIytic
Stroke.
HAD BEEN ILL SINCE APRIL
George w. Cash Passes Away at His
Home on Twentieth
Street.
lad BEEN ILL SINCE APRIL

Rock Island this morning was
shocked and grieved to learn of the
death of two of its well known bust
ness men, Peter Fries and George w.
Cash, both of whom passed away last
night. Both were known TO
be ill, but it was not matter of gem
+eral knowledge that either was in
immediate danger. Thus it was that
the news, when circulated this morn
ing, caused first surprise and then
deep sorrow.
At o'clock last evening Peter
Fries passed away at his residence
on Eighteenth street, death resulting
from the effects of the stroke of par
alysis suffered April 2S. From that
date till Saturday the stricken man
battled resolutely for life and for a
time he seemed to gain rapidly. Later
his progress was arrested and for
weeks his condition varied little eth
er way. Saturday a change for the
worse came and yesterday rapid
decline set in.
Deceased was one of Rock Islands
best known business men, having
been prominently identified with the
city's commercial affairs for nearly
half century. He was born in Ba-
varia May 4, 1924. In 1S4s he came to
America, settling first in Pennsylva-
mia, where he operated a tannery one
or two seasons. Then he came west
to Henry, ILL.,, and established him.
self in the leather business. In 1854
he became a resident of Davenport
and for a year dealt in groceries and
operated vinegar factory. Then he
took up the wholesale liquor business
and removed to Rock Island, where
he resided continuously, conducting
his business at the present location
on First avenue and Eighteenth
street.
In commercial affairs Mr.. Fries
was eminently successful. and he
held large interests in the city out
side of his regular business. He was
vice president and director of the
Peoples National bank and director
of the Rock Island National bank. He
also held stock in other Rock Island
concerns, and scrupulously honest
and straightforward i'm all his deal
ings.
Mr.. Fries was married Aug. ), 1852,
at Lacon, ILL.,, to Miss Theresa Dau-
Der, who survives. together with one
daughter, Mrs. james Connor. The
funeral arrangements have not been
completed. .,

George w. Cash.

| George w. Cash expired at midnight
at his home on Twentieth street. of
Bright's disease, with which he had
suffered internationally for a number
of years. The attack which termina-
ted fatally came on in March. The
patient went to Hot Springs, where
he remained nearly three months
with little benefit. After returning
home he grew worse, becoming bed
fast July 4, and his decline was grad
ual then till his death.
Deceased was 30 years of age Nov.
% last. He was born in Indiana. but
removed with his parents in infancy
to VIII county, this state, and few
years later to New Boston, Mercer
county. In the latter place Mr.. Cash
grew to manhood and acquired his
first knowledge of the mercantile
business. When free to make his own
way he went to Geneseo, where %
years ago he entered the employ of
Henry Dart, the wholesale grocer, as
commercial traveller. In this work
his success was immediate. After
two or three years he removed to-
Rock Island and had resided here
since. Up to the time of his last i'll
ness he was continuously in the en-
ploy of the same firm, now henry
Darts Sons.
Mr.. Cash's territory was the portion
of the country Immediately adjoining
Rock Island, and there will be gen
eral sorrow at his demise among the
many with whom he formed cordial
acquaintanceship while on the road.
Deceased held business interests in
the city independent from the firm
with which he was employed. Two
years ago he and his son, l.. c. Cash,
opened wholesale -four and feed
store, which has become flourish
ing institution.
Mr. Cash was married at Geneseo
Sept. 5. 1873, to Miss Viola Raser. who
survives, together with the son above
named. There are also two brothers,
T. c. Cash, of Cozad, Neb., and j. j.
Cash, of Newton, Kans. Both of the
latter are in the city, having been
called in time to be at their brothers
bedside before the end.
