EX-PreSieent Cleveland Dead.

Grover Cleveland, eX-prcSi-
dent of the United States died
suddenly of heart failure at his
home in Princeton, N. Y. We'd
nesday morning.
In the death of Mr.. Cleveland
the country loses one of its
truly great men. There was
nothing spectacular in his
career, neither could he be term
ed Il brilliant mind. He was,
however, man OF superior
judgment, faithful to his sense
of duty and his ideas of right,
and supremely courageous.
Subjected to intense abuse by
those Of his own party who
sought to supplant him he never
the-less maintained a quiet and
dignitied demeanor that at once
dlsarmed his blatant opponents,
and increased his following
among the saner element of his
party. His management of the
Venezuelan question and his
settlement of the Chicago strike
dispite the lawless position of
the late Gov. Altgeld of Illinois
have marked his administration
distinctive if not really great.
AS a constructive statesman
Mr.. Cleveland had but little OPP
portunity to show his abilities
for the reason that congress
was in the hands of the opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Cleveland's death has
caused universal sorrow among
the mass of the American peo-
pie without regard to party
affiliations.

Car Burned.

AS freight train was approach.
ing this city from the east Tues
day night, the train crew noticed
a box car on fire in the yards at
the B. G. Nj, They at once de-
tached their engine and hastened
to the rescue, but to no avail, as
the fire had gained such headway
as TO render assistance impossible.
and the entire contents were con.
sumed.
The car was billed to Tab
Rock and was loaded with gro.
ceries, and a fine new automobile.
There were also a large quantity
of fireworks, and spectators say
that for time they witnessed a
very pretty sight. The origin OF
the fire is unknown.

Well, we've two more to our
credit. Our boys won both games
played here Monday and Tuesday
with Highland, Kansas. The
first game was rather tame, the
visitors being too easy to make it
interesting. Falls City scored
one in the second inning, two in
the third and five in the fifth,
Highland one in the fifth and one
in the eighth. 1t was shut out
game but the visitors managed to
get two scores.
The second game, however was
different. 1t was intensely inter-
esting from start to finish. High
land had strengthened their team
materially and prepared them
selves, as thev thought, to carry
off the honors, but they have an
other think coming, While our
boys were compelled to fill in with
comparatively new material all
got into the game and played
ball. Prior was in the box for
Falls CITY and did good work.
While he allowed three men to
walk, he redeemed himself by
getting down to business at the
critical time.
The phenomenal catch by Mey,
ers in the ninth, when two men
were on bases, saved the game for
us, as the hit would surely have
been a home run. A fast double
play was feature in the eighth,
in which Heck. Foehlinger and
Heacock were the princlpa | s.
George Segrist of Humboldt acted
as umpire and his work was so
satisfactory that not a kick was
registered.
In fact all the boys were at their
best, and proves conclusively that
we have ball team to be proud
of and are, which deserves the
patronage of all our people. Fol-
lowing is the score:

Hon. A. E. Stalder Dead.

Coroner Reneker receive6
word yesterday morning to go
to Humboldt and view the re-
mains of Hon. A, Il. Stalder,
who had sought death by his
own hand,
Up to the time of going TO
press these few facts have been
learned. Mr.. Stalder had gone
to the field in the morning with
the boys, and shortly after came
to the house, ostensibly for a
drink, then went out to the
barn, where he was found by
members of the family just as
he had swallowed the contents
of bottle of carbolic acid,
dying in about half an hour.
Deceased has been much de-
pressed of late owing to i'll
health, and to this alone is
assigned the cause of the awful

Bound Over.

Perkins and Frenchy, the two
colored boys arrested last week
on the charge of theft, were giv-
en- their preliminary hearing
Friday and were bound over to
the district court. Being unable
to give bonds they were taken
back to jail, where they can get
three squares a day without
worrying about where it comes
from.

Injured His Hand.

w. F. Primley, manager of the
Lyric, cut his hand quite badly
Monday afternoon. While work.
ing with his engine at the thea
ter, he in some manner caught
his hand in the machinery, cut
ting it in a manner as to require
several stitches to close the wound
1t will not interfere with his busi-
ness, however, and he will still
continue to give pleasing perform
anceS each evening.

Will 20 to Humboldt.

Our ball boys will go to Hum
boldt on the Fourth for two games
with Highland, KanS., the tea III
they defeated this week, and who
are after revenge. This means
that all Falls City will follow the
ball boys on that day and help
them out. We may be mistaken,
but its now two to one on our
boys.

Falls City Boy HOnOred.

Erret Oliver, son of County
Supt. oliver of this city, has
been appointed by Senator Nor
ris Brown to West Point, in
place of the Omaha appointee
who resigned. Young Oliver
passed the examination for this
appointment some time ago, but
was compelled to await a
vacancy. It is an honor which
falls to few, and his many
friends here are proud of bim

Accept Proposition.

At a special meeting of the
city council Wednesday evening
it was decided to accept the
proposition made by w. E. Dor
rington of 81 $50 for five acres
of ground and right of way for
the location of the city water
works. The surveyors began
work yesterday and the eX-
change will be made as soon as
the deed can be made out which
will require only few days.
This settles the question as
to the location of the water
works which is a great relief to
all concerned, as it has been
the source of a great deal of
worry and discussion on the
part of our mayor and council.
Some may think the price
paid was too high, but Dorringa
ton had the water and the city
had to have it, and we feel sure
when time is taken to consider
all the questions involved, that
all will feel it was the best and
surest way out of the difficulty.
Take into consideration the ex-
pense of sinking other test
wells and the uncertainties of
the water supply, together
with the price asked for other
land, how much cheaper could
it be obtained? Not any, and
we feel sure the council has
taken the only wise plan. The
question now to be settled is
the location of the stand pipe.
Some place on the north side of
town seems to be the universal
opinion as the proper place, in
order to gain the circulation
that all patrons may have the
same grade of water. AS soon
as this question is settled, which
is hoped will be soon, plans and
specifications will be made and
bids advertised for and work
commenced as soon thereafter
as possible.
The council has accomplished
a great deal of preliminary
work and things are shaping
themselves so that in a short
time we can point with pride to
our water and light plants.

fast forging to the front rank of
the men of his profession in the
state. He is a member of the

womanly virtues, her pleasant
manners, and high character.
Immediately following the we'd
ding ceremony the bridal party
led the way to the dining room.
where a bounteouS repast was
spread to which all present did
ample justice, and then at high
noon, the happy couple were taken
by carriage to Verdon, whence
they departed for a few weeks
visit to Minnesota. They will be
