NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., AUG, B.-(spe-
cial.)-Charles Ross, an ls-year-old boy,
came from st. Joseph, Mo-, yesterday with
his married sister to attend the funeral OF
his father Sam Ross. After the funeral he,
in company with his brother and two other
boys, went to the city park, at the edge
Of the city, where they went in bathing.
HE could not swim and was cautioned
about going into deep water and before
anyone noticed he vaded out beyond his
depth and went under. The other boys
tried 10 save him, but their efforts were
futile and hey gave the alarm and after
thirty minute in the water George Selby
recovered the body and two physicians
worked for three hours over it. The lad
Was working as a messenger boy for the
telegraph company at 81. Joseph. The

Bull Flint crowns Day.
The bull fight was reserved for the last.
Well IL was, for the weak nerved spectators
had all gone home and the crowds that
were left were all hardened for the butch
cry. An Andulasian bull known TO its fam
lily as Lieutenant Ware, that had been
tasted for forty years, was loosed into the
arena. The picadores worried him and the
topeadors fooled around until he chased
them out Of the ring. b. w. Capon, one
OF the picadores fell when his horse was
gored, and got under the Infatuated ami
mails hoofs. Without fear or q thought for
their own safety, Harry Koch and J. I.
Kelley snatched him from under the bulls
nose and took him on a stretcher to tho
side ~lines-where they dumped him into a
ditch. DR.. Van Camp, chief veterinarian,
was there but disdained to treat a human
being. The mstador, handsome as a god
and bold as a lion, known in street clothes
as Paul Beaten, advanced upon the bull
ana, waving a red rag in his face, stuck
him under the fifth rib. The carcass,
crowned with a wreath. was carried away
on the stretchei and the matsdor was
wildly applauded.
The barbsric holiday was a great success
and il anybody was killed it had not been
discovered up to a late hour. Omaha and
the game Of polo have been introduced. 1t
is doubtful il either will seek further &c
quaintance. The game is too dangerous
for this part OF the country.

Major Geo. Butler Of The Citrus

printer, has the following to say Of
the typo tourists who visit this State
during the winter months:
Tourist printers are getting very
frequent in Florida Just now, and we
want to draw a comparison with those
Of several years ago. When we first
came to Florida from Georgia, %
years ago, a tourist was glad to get
work, and as far as we were con-
cerned, we generally got it. Our first
type setting In the State was at Live
Oak, when Editor Whitfield put US to
work Since that time we have new
er lacked for a situation, and never
failed to work when occasion required.
But things have changed. A different
set OF tourists are striking the State
every winter. II they can single out
a printer who has a permanent situa-
tion they pipe him of and endeavor
to spend the winter on the fruits of
his industry. This same class is in
the State now. and more are coming.
We have had a taste of them. and we
hope they viii steer clear from us
hereafter NO printer ever passed
by US hungry or in want OF a bed. but
the professional bum who seeks to
bleed us TO the extent of our wages
every Saturday night will get the go
