Vol. H FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 1 , 1905- Whole No. 99
Laura C. Bell.
Mrs. Laura C. Bell ( Hod at
Kansas City , Mo. , last Sunday to
which place she had been taken
for medical treatment. While
t lie death of Mrs. Dell was not
unexpected when the word that
the end had come reached this
city it brought to many a porson-
, il seii'-e of deep and sincere re
gret.
Laura C. Daniels was born in
Kairlield. Iowa May 4th , 1S5S
and in 1S < 5 removed with her
parents to Atchison , Kansas
where she grew to young woman
hood and where on January 18 ,
587S she was married to E. . E.
Hell of this city. They came to
this place at once and Falls City
remained her home since with
the exception of about two years
1 spent in California and at various
resorts where Mr. Bell had taken
her for the benefit of her health.
Some weeks ago her condition
became so serious that she was
taken to Kansas City for treat
ment , at which place her death
occurred. '
Mrs. Bell was a woman of cul
ture and refinement , a lover of
the beautiful- and possessing a
sensitive artistic temperament.
She iound her greatest delight in
the charms ot her own home.
She was a member of the L. B.T.
club and many are the pleasant
sessions that the ladies have held
in this charming and hospitable
home. Even with the passing of
health and the coming of intense
physical suffering , the personal
qualities that endeared her to so
many , remained to draw , to her
much of sympathy and much of
the tender solicitations of friend
and neighbor.
The deceased leaves , besides
her husband , two brothers a sis
ter and her mother now in her
eighty-sixth year. This aged
mother had left her home at Joplin -
lin , Mo. , to go to Kansas City to
be at the side of her stricken
daughter , but when death came ,
owing to her advanced age and
its infirmities was unable to pro
ceed to this city to attend the fu
neral. The brother who resides
ut Kansas City was present. The
other brother resides at Jopl in ,
and the home of the sister is in
California.
The funeral services were held
from the residence on Tuesday
afternoon and were conducted by
Rev. Griffin. The presence of a
very large number of friends of
the family was a tribute to the
esteem in which the deceased was
held as well as an expression of
sympathy to those who mourn
the passing of a beloved and hon
ored woman. These sentiments
were further expressed by the
numerous and beautiful iloral
offerings.

An Interesting Law Suit.
An action in Quo Warranto has

"Dora Thome. "
Next Monday evening , Decem
ber 4th , will be seen at the Geh-
ling the play of "Dora Theme , "
which has been attracting con
siderable attention on account of
the popularity of the novel.
Dora Thornc , " as a story is
too well known for comment , but
it must be admitted that the play
wright has improved upon the
plot to such an extent that the
play is far more interesting than
the book. Dramatic license is
somewhat elastic at times to say
the least , and in the play the
most dramatic and exciting points
of the book are brought out witli
decisive action and powerful
clearness ; nor isthe comedy found
wanting ; much humor is inter
mingled with the episodes of the
drama , making as a whole a play
novel and interesting in the ex
treme.
A company of players well
suited to their respective roles
have been engaged to interpret
the well known characters , and a
most enjoyable evening's enter
tainment is promised to all lovers
of the good and best amusements.
Cemetery Fence Stolen.
Thieving has become quite
common lately about Humboldt
not only fuel , family washings
and chickens have suddenly van
ished , but one morning last week
when the local workmen were
sent to erect the fence recently
purchased by the cemetery asso-
siation , it was found that it had
mysteriously disappeared during
the previous night. It was
valued at about sixty dollars.
For the benefit of those who
are to participate in the new
movement in Falls City society ,
we will say that society has de
creed that under no circumstances
is a dress suit to be worn before
six o'clock p. in. The Tuxedo
coat is proper only for stag par
ties ; at any formal evening func
tion to which ladies are invited
the claw hammer is the proper
garment.
