BY TOM DUGAN.

HIS is a great year for substitutes in baseball,
particularly In the big leagues. Whenever one of
the stars meets with an accident the bench warm
err goes in, and in a few games almost makes the fans
forget that the star is alive. This makes it hard for the
minor league clubs to grab the loose material that adorns
the big league benches for the greater part of the year.
Newark is suffering by this, although the gait which
the club has struck in the past few games would seem
sufficient to satisfy Manager Stallings.
As l said before. Newark is suffering by the excellent

FUNERAL OF WILLIAM BOCHE
One of the Largest Attended that Have
Even Been Held Here.

William Boche, drowned in the Elk
horn Wednesday, was buried in the
new Lutheran cemetery Sunday after
noon. At o'clock the funeral ser
vices were held at Christ Lutheran
church and an hour earlier from the
Boche farm south of the city. Rev. j.
p. Mueller preached the funeral SER
mon.
Few funerals in Norfolk have ever
been attended by more people than
the funeral of William Boche Sunday.
There were a few drawn to the church
from curiosity but the greater part of
the funeral attendance was drawn
from those who had known the dead
man during the forty-Odd years that
he had lived on the Elkhorn river
farm south of the city. The big Christ
Lutheran church could not hold every
one in attendance. Forty carriages
left the Boche farm and the church
was crowded when the procession ar
rived.
The pallbeaTers at the funeral were:
Ed Wagner, Henry Kruse, Fred Wag-
ner, August Machmueller Charles
Schmiedeberg and August Mueller.
The dramatic circumstances Of viii.
liam Boche's drowning through the
ice of the Elkhorn, the fact that on the
day following the funeral a brother,
Herman Boche, would go on trial at
Madison for murder, and the promi
hence of the Boche family in Madison
county lent a touch of tragic interest
to the solemn services and the grim
procession.
The details of William Boche's death
must always remain more or less a
mystery, for he was alone when he
plunged through the ice. Many saw
in the circumstances evidence of sui
eide. Others pointed out chain of
circumstances indicating a drowning
wholly accidental.

COUNTY SEAT PETITIONS.
Gregory Commissioners Work Q
Burke and Herrick Petitions.

Bonesteel News: The work of can.
vassing the Herrick petition was ar
rested Friday evening by the adjourn
ment of the board until Monday morn
ing. They were making fair progress
on going over the signers and passing
on the citizenship Of each. On Monday
afternoon an alternative writ of man
damus was served on the board OF
county commissioners to act upon the
Burke petition and on Tuesday morn
ing the matter was taken up by the
commissioners and after the argu-
ments of the attorneys for the respec-

arguments the board decided to take
up for consideration the Burke petit
ton after they had canvassed the Her
rick petition and before an order
would be made to place any town
upon the ballot. Burke regards this as
a distinct victory for them and Her
rick claims that the action of the board
on this matter is not regular and it
may be that other writs may be forth

WASA|kCTON'S BIRTHDAY
A NATIONAL HOLIDAY THAT is
NEVER FORGOTTEN.
DAY is GENERALLY OBSERVED

Flags Are Displayed, Banks Close and
the Schools Have Special Exercises
in Honor of the Day-Series of Dou.
BILE Holidays.
George Washington, first president
and national eXemplifier of the virtues
of truthfulness, was born 176 years
ago Saturday. Saturday, as a result,
was a holiday pretty nearly the coun-
try over.
In Norfolk the banks were closed
Saturday and in several places flags
were displayed. The public school ex-
ercises in honor of the birth anniver-
sary of the great American were held
Friday afternoon. In twenty-odd
rooms in the city schools the cherry
tree was again dragged forth from its
corner to the general CONSERVATION of
the small boy on the front seat.
That Washingtons birthday is a ma
tion-wide holiday is attested by the
fact that no weather forecasts or grain
markets were issued Saturday.
The postoffice did not observe the
holiday The rural carriers, however,
who come under separate holiday
rules, remained at home for a day of
rest.
Washington's birthday was the first
of quite series of double holidays,
counting Sunday as a day of rest a
holiday. Decoration day, May 80, falls
on Saturday this year Fourth of July
falls on Saturday while Labor day
comes on Monday, September 7, the
day after Sunday, so there will be four
double holidays in 1908. 1t will be a
rather unusual thing to have the banks
closed three Saturdays but for the
man who gets the benefit of the holi-
days there will be a great opportunity
for short trips.
This years calendar makes two va
cation days grow where but one grew
before" Norfolk man said today as
he figured out two or three short trips
he intended to take.
On account of leap year Christmas
will come on Friday this year.
