Snhbury, of U.'H South Twenty seventh street, the Hewn cnnio with n grievous shock. No Indy in Lincoln had inoru thoroughly on denred herself to so largo a clrclo of ncqulut nnees its had Mr. Salsbury. A prominent ntnl net Ivo tneinlier of several of the city's lending social organlzjUlons, her charming homo was over nt their disposal nml her gen Inl hospitality never riiltoicd or diminished tow mil those whoso society she so delighted nnd was so well qualllled to enjoy. Sho i sought thnt social culture which iniule not only her own homo but the hornet of her ne qunlntaneo happy ond nttmctlve.

A inodi'l wife nnd mother lm been culled siiildenly hence, nnd the grief thnt benr with such ci ushlng weight upon tho hiisbiind mid two motherles linnet will lie shared by hundred. w ho liml ever ndinlred the deceased nt n steadfast and earnest friend nml iifiRhlHir. Her thlity-two yemtoflifo liml lieen nobly spout in building up n homo nml a polton In the society thnt surrounded her of which any woinin might bo Justly proud, nnd lins not therefore lived In vnln. .She hnd accomplished tho highest mission nml enjoyed thu dourest triumph of trim womnnhood. A lndy friend of the deceased sends In the following verses which tiro ro s)ctfully dedicated to thu memory of Mrs. Snlsbury: Another bright spirit hnth winged UsIIIkIiI, And passed from her friends uwny, To dwell nt home with thu angels of light, In tho rcnlms of nn ctorunl dny.

When she wnt with us sho welcomed all Toiler benutlful earthly home, Hut now wnltt wlili Millies to greet its In her new nnd hnppy homo. Lincoln got lmpplly out of tho state league, of base bull tennis. When sho did drop out she was awarded no end of sarcastic censure by some of the smaller sister cities who took up the burden Lincoln laid (low 11 , mil started out with tho utmost bruvndo. Among the most snreastlo of all criticisms ennio from Fremont and riattsiiiouth. In tho furmer city tho brightest lights of tho newspaper profession waxed exceeding and excru cintingly funny because Lincoln concluded to drop out of slow company. Itittheiefore surpiislng to note that tno dead ganio sports of Fremont wero tho (list to conclude that the state lenguu was not a very good thing to tie to. I'lattsmoutli soon did an ignomin ious likewise, If tho expression may be per mitted. The league now constitute Beatrice, Hastings, Oinuil Island and Kearney, who nre clinging 011 desperntely In the hope of retrieving losses that hnvo been sustained. One thing hns been npparent Irom tho start. It Is that Nebraska cimiks want good ball or none. If tho stnto lenguu reorganizes next year it will doubtless lie with an increased salary limit tint will securo ball pliiyeis. As It W now some of the tennis have gone so far past tho limit that they have forgotten all about it, but they haveu't played ball to any alnrmiug extent. Oho of 4he evening pnpera which usually rides its hobby horse backwards has started out for once fnce foremost. It advocates opening up and beautifying the city park. Itlsn pioject which should command tho support of the people, were it advocated by a circus poster, and probably will in this in stance be In due time successful. One mem ber of the council had started out with thnt end in view ero the project was publicly ngi tnted. With slight expense the present city park could lie mndo n )iopulurmid attractive resoi t. The shede, the biond wnlks, the grass and the breeze are already there. A little ltoHshlng, modest Moral decointlon, a few fountains mid tho requisite illumination would be nil the elements uecessnry to popu larity and usefulness. The wile fence should l.o torn away, not only because It is unsightly and unnecessary, but because it Is dangerous mid unlawful. Councilman Veith ami his colleagues, If any ho may have with him in the project, are on the rhht track. There aro quite a number of Individuals In Lincoln who would shine as favorites at Monte Carlo. They thrive olf the avarice of their associates. Their cultivated wits and tricks enable them to win the favor of Dame of Its minions, few or them have access to sK't table homes. Now and the.ll some paper starts 11 noisy mid braggait criisiulo against tiiein, hut they go quietly along in their beaten path mid in a short time the crusade diops cunningly but blgiillleentiy from pub licity, hints accomplished Us purpose; the gambler lias lost mid the giiiuo goes 011.

The Hock Island's proposition to cross O street at grade has developed a municipal controversy that embodies considerable bit teruess. All the venom and back biting pro clivities that could mark n political cumpnlgu hnvo found a place In this contest. The pop tlheo appealed to bo about evenly divided oil tho advisability of permitting a grade cross ing. Cm iously enough many Kast Lincoln prop-rty owners favoiod It. Such a crossing they think would foster a business ci titer In Kast Lincoln, chiefly along Twenty-seventh street. Other ardent fiiends ami home- owners In Kast Lincoln bitterly opposed It, contenilliig that It would ruin the present tuese men coaiii tell tlie world much that blight prospo"ts of that section as a Hue res- ' would be of Interest, ami of lucalcnlaiile val lilence poitlon ami would prove of great ad- no to the public, mid It eems to be within vantage to .South Lincoln.

All that necessary to go iiiaiiy time a day. Many has been done hitherto has been done fiom people in Mouth Lincoln favored it bemuse , Keeley's standpoint. they believed it would benefit that portion. Others disapproved It because It would ruin j O street n a drive and cut otr Intercourse between tho east and the west side. All were equally confident that they wero right. A good many iulluencM were lugged Into the controversy that wero not pertinent. For instance It was claimed that the Burling ton was opposed to permitting the grade crossing, mill yet no 0110 authorized to repre- s'iit tlie iiurllngtnii has ever said 11 word on tho subject. It Is altogether probable that 1 tho Hiiiilnirton would nrefer m s.m. tin, lt,.k I Island permitted to cro-s that busy portion ' of 0 street at glade. There would then be I less rorco to the clamor lor viaducts 011 West O street. 1 lie street railway people have siukeu lu opposition to the grade crossing, and very ' nuturally, ns it is 11 nienance to their business mid patronngo. Tho Hock Island luanngers fully appreciate the advantage a crude cios- lug would bo to them, and ft I very probable ' that it would not be long ere seveial other lending line would be utilizing tlie privilege with equal satisfaction. Tlieio ought to boa wny of settling such questions us this by n vote of the people, ns the ilelegiitlou of power ' tothecouiieil inllicUi tqion honest nnd con- sclentlous olllclals tqo great and vexing re- sponslbllltles, nnd afrorils the dishonest too powerrul a temptation and opportunity for profitable traille.

It Is not often that TlIK CiiLitlKlt discusses the methods of procedure of the soieulilli.' press. Technical Journals are doubtless liouuil by the rules or the profession the) represent, and these rule are mure or less wPHI mysterloiM to tho lay world. Just now, however, the medical press ha mi opportun ity of which it seems to bo slow to take ad vantage. Tho seciil ir pro Is just now full of Item or interest bearing on the so-called "Keeley Cure." Tho laud Is full of people who nre blessing or cursing Kei-ley, accord ing to the uatuiv of their experience. As to all this, possibly, the medical pre I not called on to speak F10111 the standpoint of the medical profession such people me only to bo regarded a the victims of quackery, since Keeley does not lecognletlie profession and the profession returns the compliment. Theie Is, however, another side to the mat ter. The profession, or nt least some iiit-ui bert of it, know what the ICeeley fluid is. Keeley hns not guarded his secret perfectly. Why does not tho medical press "interview" mine such men nt Dr. A. W. .Inckt 11 of Brooklyn, or Dr. K.

A I'enusylvanlau by birth, at thuage or ten Mr, Walker entered 11 classical school In Wash- ! Iiigton, D. C. Ho pursued hi. stu'dles at var j Ions schools for the next ten years, finally re signing from West Point In lJW, to enter tho I military service of the Chinese government , at the suggestion of Hon.

Their letter wa sent to Mr, Walker, endorsed: "ltesH-ctfully submitted to J. II. W. M. II." lu consequence Mr. Walker shortly after ward became managing editor of tho 7W--. (11111. In 1S70 he was made edltor-hi chief 1 of the Washington Dilly CmmiYc and for three years was cugiued in Journalism.
