lijutli west of this city, died Sunday
morning with an attack of typhoid
fever. The young man has been attend

Mr. John IJ. V.illery, oldest son ol
Uncle Jake Vallery, who is very popular
in this vicinity, having resided here all
his life, died very suddenly this in iui g
at hi home about six miles west of the
city. He has not felt as well as uual
for the past three or four clays but r.o
one was alarmed oyer his condition a
his ailing was only trivial. Shortly be
fore G o'clock this morning Dr. T. V.
Livingston was sent for, but upon his
arrival there he found him beyond all
hope. The causa of his death is at

A Germ in-American Anti-prohibition
meeting was held in Kockwood hall
last Saturday night. The 15. & M. band
was engaged for the purpose of calling .
crowd, and they succeeded as the hous
was crowded to its utmost capacity. Mr.
J. V. Weckbach was appointed chairman
of the meeting, and in a few well chosen
words introduced the Hon. W. S. Shoe
maker, of Omaha, as the tir?t speaker. In
his speech he strongly denounced the ac
tions ot the republican party in the
adoption of the submission plank, stating
that such an act was not necessary. lie
advanced the argument that the people
were sovereigns and had the power to
pass any kind of a prohibitory liquor
law, and hence on necessity for submit
ting the question that prohibition ia the
constitution would not be safe acting,
t.nd a law to enforce it would haye to be
passed. He evidently took the platform
with the intention of making a straight
democratic speech, as he gave vent to
his democratic sentiments very frequent
ly. Prof. E. (Jei.ler, of Omaha then
followed with his speech in German.
The points made by him were similar to
those of hi friend. The crowd was as
lare as has attended any meeting during
