After hearty congratulations
an elegant lunch was served by
Misses Maud and May Maddox

The bride was one oil Falls
City's most successful music
teachers and is an estimable and
worthy young woman in every
sense. The groom is young
man of the best character and
with splendid prospects ahead
Of him. He is now engaged in

Claims Appealed

The claims of McCray for S675
and Stalder for S7O4 ha We been
appealed to the district court on
the grounds that they are exorbi-
tant and illegal. McCray bought
bridge lumber for $40 a thous-
and at the yards and the bill was
allowed by the board. Subse-
quent developments, however,
showed that the bridge COM
pany's bid was $50 for the same
lumber in place. That is, the
bridge company would haul the
lumber out and lay it in place
charging for the material and
labor S4 less per thousand than
McCray was paying at the yards.
When "Mc" was thus caught red
handed the board rescinded its
action and gave McCray permis-
sion to withdraw the claim. Bills
economy is pretty expensive and
the exposure in this instance has
put the board on inquiry as to
past expenditures.

reached the platform he stag

was extinct.

PROVES FATAL
EDWIN e. BELL SUCCUMBS TO
PARALYSIS
Another Old and Respected Citizen
Passes Away After Very
Short Illness

In but twelve short hours after
being stricken, Edwin e. Bell,
an old and respected citizen ot
this city, died at the National
hotel, Friday morning a l
o'clock, August 29, 1908, aged
50 years. Mr.. Bell had been
travelling for an Omaha drug
firm, but was in the city, taking
a vacation, as he had not been
feeling well, but on the day when
he was so suddenly stricken lie
was the usual jovial and good
hearted Ed he had always been,
and when the end came, 1t was
indeed a.shock to the friends,
who but few short hours before
had seen and talked with him in
his usual good spirits.
Mr.. Bell, with his parents,
came to this ci.y in 1869, being
among our earliest settlers and
has lived here almost Contlnu-
ously since that time. For a
number of years he was prOpri-
etor of one of our best drug
stores, always enjoying a fine
trade and the confidence of the
community. He continued IN
this business until about five
years ago, when he disposed of
same and went to California tor
the benefit of his wife's health,
where they aimed for a short
time. Receiving but little bene-
fit by the change they came back
to their old home III this city,
his wife dying two years
later. Since that time Mr.. Bell
has spent most of his time on
the road, but always looked upon
Falls City as his home.
Besides his many friends Mr..
Bell leaves one brother, Will,
and one sister, Mrs. r. G. Shelly,
of Omaha. Mrs. Matte May
and Will Hanna of this city are
an aunt and uncle of deceased.
The funeral services were held
from the home of Mrs. Matte
May on Saturday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. r. Cooper Bal
lev. Interment was in the Steele
cemetery.
