Pioneer Wewan Dies.
Mrs. Elizrbeth Boyer, widow of I.
P. Boyer, died at her homo on east
Sixth street Thursday morning after an
iness of considerable duration. She
became unconscious Tuesday night and
remained In that condition until tho
soul took its flight.
Tho deceased was past sixty-six
years of age born in Missouri
January 1st, 1845. In 18G2 sho came
to Lincoln county in cornpany .with nn
elder sister Mrs. Dorothy Rowland,
still a resident of North Platte, and
located at what was then Ft McPher
son. February 17, 18C4, she was mar
ried to I. P. Boyer, and they con
tinued to live at tho fort where tho
husband conducted a store until the
post was abandoned in 1872. They
then moved to a point west of tho
Burke ranch, where tho mercantile
business was continued for a year or
two when a removnl to North Platte
was made, Mr. Boyer dying in 1891.
To tho marital union eight children
thrco girls and five boya were, born,
the fdrls dying and the boys still livintr.
They aro Will, Frank and Bert of this
city, .Guy ot uuitnio, vvyo., nnd Tony
of Denver.
The hour of the funeral has not been
announced at this writing, pending

In the death of Mrs. Bovor. Lincoln

Boyer wns a favorite with all. jovial
and kind hearted, and a woman of
more than avorago attraction in her
girlhood days sho was a belle. Ak n
mother sho was generous and considor
nto, and tho sons lose one whoso mem

RUBBER CANNON BALLS.
A World's Pair Exhibit That Puzzled
Louis Napoleon.
An" Instance of the obsession of the
mind by one Idea la seen In a ludi
crous mistake made by Louis Napo
leon in 185.1 nt u world's fair held In
Paris while bo was emperor. ELo had
been trained to war, and be could not
sco a strango object without regard
ing It In relation to war. Tbo bead
of tbo Uultcd Stntea commission at
the exhibition was Maunscll B. Field,
who tells In his "Memoirs of Many
Men' how greatly disturbed tho em
peror waa py an American invention.
Tho commissioner was present at a
reception held at the palace.
Tho emperor approached me1 and
remarked that bo bad that afternoon
walked through our department of
the exposition this was just before It
was open to tho public that ho bad
scon many things thero which inter
ested him. but that nothing bad no
much pleased him os the exhibition
of vulcanized India rubber. Among the
articles he had noticed something
Which had puzzled him ever since.
He vcrr much regretted thnt I was
not present at tbo tlmo of his visit
'Iloro I Interrupted him to say thut
I very much regrotted it myself and
that If ho had sent me an Intimation
of his purpose I should have been
ccrtuln to attend.
Woll.' he unawonid, 'in ono corner
I saw. .stacked as one aces them In nn
artillery yard, a pllo of vulcanized in
dla rubbor cunnon balls. There was
nobody thero to answer tho Inquiries
which I desired to ina,ke. PerhapH you
can explain tho matter to me.'
"I had not oven seen tho balls In
question nnd bad to say so.
'"I cannot Imnglne,' resumed his
mnlcstr. 'bow any preparation of In
dia rubber can bo urcd for projectiles.
It has often occurred to mo that, In
combination with other-materials, It
mlclit bo mndo useful for defonstvo
purposes.'
"I was compelled to admit that It
was cqunlly mysterious to rao how tho
Inventor could havo thought seriously
of making caunon balls of it. After so
unsatisfactory an Interview tho ompor
or probnbty did not think that it would
bo civil to Icavo me Immediately, so ho
asked me If I took much Interest In
military matters. I answered that I
did not any more than civilians usual
ly do.
"I was at that tlmo residing very
near tho Paloco of Industry. Tho next
morning I went over before breakfast
for tho purposo of gottlng Information
upon tho subject which bad so puzzled
tho omperor. I went directly to tho
India rubber exhibit, and, aura enough,
I found tho balls thoro Just as thoy
had been described to mo. It was too
early for mo to expect to sco the roan
In charge, but thero was a person In
bis place. 1 asked what In tho world
ho expected to do with Indln rubber
cannon balls.
" 'Thoy nro uot cannon balls,' he nn
Bwered; 'thoy aro, footballs! "
