WEDNESDAY, MARCH, 2. 1802
William Lloyd.
The late William Lloyd, who for
the last quarter of century has been
one of the leading citizens of Cans
county Nebraeka wag born in
- London, England on the 23, day of
November 1815 and consequently
completed his 76th year on his last
birthday.
While a subject of Great Britain
he became a voltinterin the English
army and sirved in England, Ire
land and Canada for about three
years.
About the year 1813, he came to
America, nettling near Cambridge,
Washington county. New York.
Here he was engaged as a farm
hand for several years at the rate
of $100 per year, while living here
he was joined in the holy bonds of
wedlock to Miss Eunice Mills on the
first day of January 1843, the mar
riage taking place on the first day
the week , on the first day of the
month, on the first day of the year,
and just before breakfast an inci
dent which does not happen once in
a thousand similar events.
From this union six children
were born, and all living in Cass
county and grown to man's and
women's estate. David, John and
George, being1 among the thrifty
farmers of Cass county, Joseph be
ing a trusted employ of the B. & M.
railroad, while Stephen and Jennie
remain at home with their mother
on the well improved farm in Mur
ray precinct.
After Mr. Lloyd had resided in I
New York for a number of years he,
with his family removed to Michi
gan where he remained for some
time engaged in farming after
which he moved to Peoria, Illinois,
where for six year he was superin
tendent of the poor farm of that
county.
While in Ilinois he assisted Col.
Robert Ingersoll to raise his first
regiment of volunteers for the
union army.
After living in Illinois for about
twenty years the subject of this
sketch moved to this county where
he and his family landed in May
1876, renting land for that year
from Hon. John F. Buck. Here
without scarcely any means at all
Mr. . Lloyd commenced the fierce
struggle aided by his stalwart son's
for home and a competency for his
old age. After renting land for a
number of years from Mr. Buck,
Mr. Lloyd soon succeeded in get
ting a foot hold on- some land of
his own and by dint of hard work,
sturdy integrity and encouraged
and ably assisted by his sons, he
had the proud satisfaction of real
izing that he and his boys had be
come the owner of 400 acres of as
fine land as ever tiled under the sun
In 1S41 Mr. Lloyd united with the
Presb3'ter;aa church and fcr
more than half a century had
been a consistent and devout wor
shipper in that church. He was
also a member of the Masonic fra
ternity, and so strongly was he at
tached to that order that one of his
last request was to be consigned to
his last resting place under the
beautiful and impressive ceremony
of that order.
In politics Mr. Llo3'd was always
an uncompromising republican
and during his younger days was
prominent in the councils of that
party. As age advanced and for
a number of j-ears past he had
ceased to take an active part in
politics but never neglected to
italicise his political faith by vot
ing his party ticket.
Mr. Lloyd became a full American
citizen August 9th, 1849, taking out
his final papers in the court of
Oyer& Terminber, of Washington
county, New York.
But with all hopes, the aspira
tions, the successes of this life, the
end must come at last. Centuries
ago the psalmist immortalized in
song the of human life, "Three
iscore 1 ears and Ten." But to Mr
Lloyd, nature was more generous
and lengthened his life beyond
three quarters of a century.
While gone yet his memory re
mains here still, and his friends and
neighbors will miss the warm
hearted and faithful friend; the
kind and obliging- neighbor; and
Cass county loses one of her best
and one of her leading citizens; and
the wife, the sons and daughters,
lose one of the most loving and de
voted husbands and fathers; for, if
Win. Loyd possessed a marked
weakness, if weakness it may be
called, it was that devout, unselfish
love for his wife, children and home.
Requescat in peace.
Delegates to the National Conven
tion Will be Chotn April 20
at Fall City. Neb
The congressional committee of
the Fir.t district held a meeting in
the Capitol hotel, Lincoln, yester
day. The utmost harmony pre
vailed and all members of the com
mitvee seemed to feel confident that
a republican would be elected this
fall to sue eed Bryan. There were
present, C. D. Clapp, Cass; J.S. Dew,
Johnson; R. II. Townley, Lancaster;
Church Howe. Nemaha: E. J. Hol-
brook. Richardson; Frank McC-jrt
ni'v. Otoe: C. E. Casev. Pawnee; W.
II. Woodward ; Lancaster, chairma i
Frank McCartney officiated as sec-
re tary of the meeting.
April 20 at 7.30 p. m. was the time
agreed upon for holding the dis
trict convention for deeding two
delegates and two alternates to the
Minneanolis convention and Fall
City was the place apreed upon.
The chairman and secretary
were instructed to issue a call for
the second or nominating conven
tion when the call for the state con
vention had betn made, and were
instructed to call such nominating
convention to meet at Nebraska
City one week previous to the etate
convention.
The basis of representation for
both of the district conventions
was fixed upon the vote for W. J.
Connell in 18tD, and allows to each
county one delegate at large, and
one delegate to each 100 votes and
major fraction thereof.
Upon that basis the convention
will consist of 158 delegates, appor
tioned to the several counties as fol
lows: Lancascer 45, Otoe 14, Paw'
nee 13, Cass 19, Richardson 16, Nem
aha 12, Johnson 10.
It was reommended by the com
mittee that po proxies be allowed,
but that in case of absentees the
delegates present be authorized to
cast the full vote of their respective
counties.
STATE LEAGUE FORMED.
Nebraska Towns Which Will Have
Base Ball This Summer.
The long talked of state base ball
league was organized in Lincoln
last evening. The cities repre
sented, and who will have teams in
the field, are Plattsmouth, Lincoln,
Columbus, Grand Island, Beatrice
and Fremont. An attempt will be
made to prevail upon either Hast
ings or Kearney to go in as well.
If neither of these towns can be se
cured, Norfolk, which is an ag
gressive candidate, will be ad
mitted. The new league will be officered
as follows: President, Col. T. J.
Hickey, Lincoln; vice president,
J. W. Cutright; secretary and
treasurer, C. T. Coman, Fremont.
The salary list of each team will be
restricted to $550 per month. Three
umpires will be provided, who will
receive not more than $75 per
month and pay their own expenses.
After considerable discussion of
the merits of the respective kinds
of balls, it was decided to use the
Reach balls.
Calculating upon the theory that
the full salary limit of $600 per
month is reached, and that it will
take about $50 per month from each
club as dues to the league to pay
umpire and secretary salaries, and
the purchase of balls aud other
supplies, it was estimated that $050
a month would cover the author
ized expense per club.
A board of directors was chosen,
comprising the executive officers,
with Messrs. Patterson of Platts
son, Rourke of Grand Island,
Houseworth of Lincoln, and E G
Drake of Beatrice.
lo prevent a contlict an agree
ment was reached as to uniforms.
Lincoln's representatives chose
white with brown trimmings, Fre
mont's gray, Grand Island's dark
blue, Beatrice's black with white
trimmings,' Plattsmoutn's maroon
shirts and blue pantaloons.
The secretary was instructed to
take steps to' secure protection for
the league under the national
agreement in the matter of players
under contract. .
The delegates in attendance were
fully confident that they can make
the league a complete success. The
matter of preparing a schedule was
deferred to a subsequent meeting

Appropriately Observed by the Pu
pils of the Htffti School Yesterday
The high school yesterday cele
brated appropriately Nebraska's
twenty-fifth anniversary. The exer
cises opened promptly at 2 o'clock
with a prayer by Prof. Halsey, fol
lowed by the entire school singing
America.
Robt Brown then deliuered the
address of welcome in an appropri
ate manner, followed by a male
quartette. Miss Marguerite Davis
recited a selection entitled
"The Belle of Atri," in a very becon
ing manner. Miss Lillian Smith
read a well prepared essay on the
history of Nebraska, which was
read in a very pleasing manner by
Mies Smith.
Following came the debate, "Re
solved that in twenty-five years
more Nebraska will be the most
prosperous state in the union "
Miss Lizzie Jaquette and Carrol
Leonard spoke in the affirmative
while Miss Ida Smith and Joseph
Knotts upheld the negative. Both
sides of the question were vigor
ously contested, but the judges de
cided in favor of the affirmative.
Several short speeches were made
by the visitors and scholars on the
many advantages of Nebraska, af
ter which Miss Blanche Kennedy
recited a piece entitled "nis Moth
er's Fool," in her usual pleasing and
entertaining manner. Misses Mamie
Shepherd and Marie Sherman then
favored the audience with a duet
which was received by a hearty en
core. Miss Nettie Waybnght fol
lowed with a well selected recita
tion, after which the high echoo
gave a gymnastic exhibition. " ' . 1
The young lady quartette, con
sisting of Misses Sherman Patter
son, Edwards and Dunston, ren
dered an excellent selection which
was well received.
Miss Maud Sennie had prepared
an excellent essay on "The Future
ef Nebraska," which she delivered
in a creditable manner.
Prof. Musgrave then recited the
the selection "Why -he Didn.t Sell
the Farm." The entertainment was
then brought to a close by the en
tire school singing "Those Evening
Bells," and the exercises concluded
at half past four.

The absenc of C. M. iKt-rsham
seems to be occasioning a consider
able amount of unneccessary gos
sip. A young lady from Murray and a
young gentleman from Falls City,
son of an ex-governor who are
classed in the way up ranks of
society are reporied to have eloped
ami were married in Lincoln yester
day. An error occurred in our" report
of the proceedings of the county
court yesterday. The case of the

Water Pressed Brick Co. has not
been submitted yet. This case was
tried and- continued for argument.
Listen to My Tale of Woe.
A dark hall way, a table and an
unsuspecting man, taken together,
and they created a good deal of
merriment. The night of the dance
the ladies, after they had served
supper, put one of the tables out in
the hall way leading to the office of
the clerk of the district court. Af
ter going up the stairway and turn
ing to the right the hall is so dark
that a person cannot distinguish an
object if it should happen te be in
the -wa s. On the morning in ques
tion Dr. Dearing came down to the
office a little late, He had his keys
in one hand and a pair of shoes in
the other; he cleared the stairs at
four bounds and turned down the
hall at a pace that "Whitey" Miller
would envy. After he had gone
part way he struck the table about
midway, but that didn't stop him,
he went clear over the table aud
after sliding on the back of his neck
he finally reached the door where
he suddenly came to a stop. He
gathered himself together and
went into the office aud began an
examination to find out how many
bones were broken. About the
time his face was straightened out
so he could smile, W. C. Showalter
came up and met with the same
kind of a reception. , Dearing had
recovered so. far that he could enjoy
Mr. Showalter's discomfiture, and
ere Mr. Showalter had recovered
one of Plattsmoutn's prominent le
gal lights came up in a hurry, and
still the table was standing in the
hallway and both the attorneys j
were caught. Jhe last one that run
into the table can't yet see where
the laugh comes in, bat both Dear
ing and Showalter have laughed
so heartily over the misfortune of
the other two that they have for
gotten their own bruises.

however, before the commissioners
adjourn. , -
Patrick Henry, L. L. A., debating
club held its regular semi-monthly
meeting at the home of King Wse
last evening.' The boys report
very instructive session and con
sider themselves under obligations
to Professor Musgrave for timely
suggestions and hints. The pro
fessor was made an honorary mem
ber of the club.

latter case I used Chamberlain's

considerable success, only being in
bed a little over two days, against
ten days for the first attnek. The
second attack, I am ratsfied, would
have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this remedy,
as I had to go to bed in about six

Mr. R. H. Mohr. the ventriloquist,
went through a strange experience the
other day. In one of the laboratories
of the Harvard Medical School he sub
mitted to an examination of his throat
and chest by a number of physiological
experts, to determine what special for-
inauona gave nis peculiar powers.
I he experts are uncommunicative
concerning the results of the exami
nation, and Mr. Mohr, who is not a
physiologist at all, did not learn much
about himself.
"They put mirrors down my throat,"
he said.. "They led me by narrow pass
ages into a dark chamber, and what
they did there I don't know. After it
was all over they told me that my
larynx was flatter than that of other
men, and shaped something like a
woman's, and also that one of the stops
in my throat was drawn downward in
stead of upward by the connecting
mnscles -
"I can't make much out of that ex
planation, but I can make a living out
of my peculiar throat just the same."
Then he threw his voice under the
table and laughed hoarsely. Bostofr
