K015KKT KIKK lt.VTKS I'ASsKS AWAY. The Mil intelligence remitted till office this morning, through lr. T. 1'. Livingston, who received the message, that 11. K. llates mum dead, with the MutoiiH-nt that his body would be taken to his old home in Missouri for interment. The message is very unsat isfactory 1o his relative in this city, who did not even know Hint he Mas ill. We all knew thut lie was at Grand Island, where he was clerking In clothing store, and the announcement of his death comes to us with great surprise and causes us all great grief. Kirk was just budding into manhood, and the entire fam ily looked upon hint as a young man of great promise. He, was between twenty and twenty-one years of age, and not one of us here but would have hastened quickly to his bed side had we known of his illness, and it is with feelings of much regret that we were not notified of his illness and through other parties of his death. It is a cold heart, indeed, that will let such a feeling enter the brain in the hour of death. Hut such must have been the rase. Hut the noble boy is dead, and the memory of his early childhood and young manhood will bo more warmly revered by all of us than by those who failed to apprise us of his illness and death. It is sad, indeed, to know that the still hand of death was placed upon him so early, and we all mourn his death. Peace to the noble boy's ashes. The deceased Is a son of T. U. Hates, a nephew of It. A. Rates and grandson of Colonel M. A. Hates, all of this city. 380 Pairs of Children's and Misses Slippers at One Fourth'Cff. 40 pairs Infants Bow Strap, was 55c, now 40o 23 pairs Infants Kow Stiap, was 65c, now 50o 32 pairs Child's Ties, Kid and Patent, was '9Gc, now. 75o 40 pairs Child's 'l ies, Kid and Patent, was $1.35, now $1.00 16 pairs Child's Buster Hrown Ties, was $1.85, now $1.40 :J3 pairs Child's Buster Brown Ties, was $1.65, now $1.25 BUSTER BROWN BLUE RIBBON LOW CUTS is Gir5t'and s We have broken lots in nice dean dozens, too lengthyto mention which will be bargains for the little folks to finish wearing- out as SCHOOL SHOES.'

The afternoon program was given largely as outlined, some changes being necessitated owing to a change In the scheduled events. The attendance during the afternoon was very flattering and Indicated a desire to see all there was to be seen. When weather conditions are taking Into consideration It can truthfully be said the first day was a good one. The outdoor Tree attractions were all excellent and far above the usual run cf such performances. They Included among other acts a slack wire performance by two small children, which is really a marvel In Its class, the youngsters making a fine showing and winning the affections of the crowd In a Jump. A trapeze act by two per formers of more than ordinary abil ity also took place and was also very favorably received by large aud iences. In addition thc-5 was a di ving dog who Is bettei than any similar animal seen here before, as the dog shows almost human Intel ligence when doing this act. A con tortlon act was also given which was a good one and all !t was guar anteed to be. In addition the bal loon ascension was to have taken place, but an accident prevented It. It was well the accident happened, otherwise a more horrifying one would unquestionably have taken place. The aeronaut was preparing to ascend from the empty lot at the corner of Fifth and Vine streets, and the big balloon was being filled, a number cf men holding the sway ing bay by the anchor ropes. Just before the ascension was to be made and while the aeronaut was holding the trapeze, the men misunderstood the orders and released the ropes. Instantly the big bag shot heaven wards, drugging the man with It. He was lifted clear of the ground, and some eight or ten feet Into the air, before he could release his hold on the bar, and he shot down to the earth, landing heavily. As he fell he grasped the valve rope and gave It a pull, releasing the air In the bag. Fortunately his fall did him no serious Injury and outside of a few bruises he was all right. The bal loon mounted some 150 feet Into the air and then came down, lighting near the Hotel Riley. Had the man gone on up he must Inevitably have suffered Injury in the fall from such a height. With clearing weather today the several free attractions will bo re peated and will draw good crowds. A more regular schedule of per formances with a lonper time be tween the acts, should and will be arranged, however. The parade of the horses and cat tle was an Imposing one and more than creditable to the exhibitors. Both horses and cattle were of es pecially good stock and breeds and earned much admiration. Included In the line was AJax, the prize win ning Hereford of C. Rengcn of My nard, an animal which excited the warmest admiration and presented a magnificent appearance. This an imal is fully as fine as any exhibited at any of the big stock shows In the country, and Mr. Eengen Is a for tunate possessor of such a line an imal. He also exhibited In the pnr ade a fine Hereford cow and bull calf, the latter objecting strenu ously to the march about the streets and tugging hard to get away. Ceo. Kaffenberger also had his two fine bulls, Gentry and Dick, In the par ade and they made an excellent showing. They rro of Hereford stock and compare well with any others. Mr. Kaffenberger also ex hibited two cows and two fine heifer calves of the same breed and they were all fine animals. Luke L. Wiles had his great Red Poll bull Closson In line, and he excited great admiration. The animal Is a su perior animal and could take many prizes at the big stock Bhows of the country. Mr. Wiles' fine stock, both cows and calves, also made a strong Impression and won favorable com ment from the crowds which lined the streets. Thomas E. Parmele's Jersey cow, also In line, was greatly admired, as it Is a very handsomo animal. The black Calloway heifer of Henry HIrz came in for its share of admiration from the crowd, espe cially from those acquainted with the good qualities of the Galloway. The animal is of fine stock and hlgb grade. The road Durham of John Trltsch was a novel and pleasing variation In breeds and also at tracted wide attention. Elbert Wiles also had -severl Shorthorns which won great admiration, as they are likewise fine animals. The parade of horses was a mag nificent showing, and there were many great animals In evidence. Owing to lack of space further par ticulars of the several entries will necessarily have to be omited. One particular feature of the display was the splendid driver of Ralph Wiles. This animal without question Is one of the finest of its class In the coun ty, and created a real sensation. In addition there were a number of handsome teams entered, among them being H. F. Gansemer, who had one of the finest teams ever shown In the city, he having do voted a great deal of attention to getting them In shape for the oc casion. Frank Dlatzcr also had a great team in the parade and earn ed much praise. Louis Melslnger was represented with a fine team of Belgian bred animals. Julius Pltz had his driving team in line. Harry Todd also was represented, as was George Illld. There were a num ber of other entries which must be noticed later. The entire parade was a grand success and well merited the ap plause which greeted It at several points. The ball game furnished a fine entertainment for a fair crowd con sidering the weather and It well re paid those who went out. The final score was 7 to 3 In favor of Platts mouth, Louisville being unable to do anything with the Plattsmouth pit chers. On the other hand Tlatts mouth pounded Connors at will and won as they liked. McCauley and Williams did the twirling for the local team and were both effective, especially the latter. The home team batted well and fielded cleanly. Ow ing to lack of space the details of the game are crowed out. The score by Innings was as follows: 1'lattsmouth .10 10 10 2 1 17 LouIbvIHo .03000000 0 3 Hits, Plattsmouth 9, Louisville 2. Errors, Plattsmouth 4, Louisville 4. Batteries, McCauley, Williams and Mann for Plattsmouth, and Connors and Wallace for Louisville. The evening was too damp and rainy for a good time and a small crowd contented Itself with walking up and down the streets. Heavy rain commenced to fall shortly after nightfall and continued at intervals all night, the downpour toward morning being very heavy. This morning opened very rifls steady downpour of rain. The clouds seady downpour of rain. The clouds cleared away to a limited extent to ward noon and a portion of the piorn Ing program was gone through with. Owing to the Inclemency of the weather the attendance was small in the morning. Several games which had opened up the first day were closed this morning by County Attorney Ramsey who had been solicited to do so by several people including Rev. Randall of the Me thodist church. He held them to bo gambling devices within the meaning of tho law. Others passed his examination and are running. Governor Shallenberger was ex pected to arrive during the morning but later information stated he could not be here until In the afternoon, lie arrived at 1:15 p. m. and Is speaking this afternoon. ' The Judging of the cattle and horses yesterday was conducted by Prof. Coupe of Falls City and occu pied quite a little time. Owing to tho strong competition existing the Judging and the awarding of the prizes was a very difficult matter, and there was so little margin be tween first and second In many cases that It was merely a toss-up as to who would vflllc away with the award. The grand sweepstakes for the prize bull went to C. A. Bcngen & Sons of Mynnrd, who exhibited their collossal bull AJax, spoken of above. This bull was marked by tho Judge as the winner, although ho had sev eral competitors who ran him a close race. Word Is made above as to this animal. Tho first premium for bulls also went to this splendid animal. They exhibited also a cow which took first premium and the blue ribbon, and also the fine milk bucket presented by Kroehler Bros, for the champion cow. Tho Iiengen herd took tho cream of the prizes and re flected the general sentiment of the public, although pitted against some magnificent animals. George A. Kaffenberger, with his Herefords, took away a number of prizes, his fine bull Gentry and one of his cows taking the red ribbons, or second prize. Mr. Kaffenberger sent some magnificent animals to the show and demonstrated that his herd Is one of tho best In the stnte. Luke L. Wiles, with his Red Polls, was In the 'front rank of winners, his prize bull Closson taking the blue ribbon for males and his cow Queen Ella winning as the prize cow. The Red Poll is a splendid animal, and Mr. Wiles has one of the finest herds in the country as a. glance at his ex hibit plainly shows. A fine young heifer, the property of Henry HIrz, took the Galloway prize. As Is told above this animal In from Straub Bros. herd, and Is really a splendid animal, every one agreeing that a good prize was coming to It. Mr. HIrz had the misfortune to havo a fine Galloway bull taken with a sore eye, and rather than risk any dan ger of disease ho did not exhibit this, which would havo been a for midable competitor for first honors. The blue rlbben for Jerseys went to Thomas E. Purmele's fine cow, It be ing one of the best Jerseys to be seen In this section. Former Senator S. L. Thomas came to the front In Poll Durhams, his bulls taking away first and sec ond premiums and his cows also took first and second. Senator Thomas had some excellent animals on exhibition and Is deserving of jgreui praise ror ins enterprise in showing them. Incidentally, it may be said Senator Thomas easily dis posed of a number of head of this stock. For Holsteln cattle, W. C. Hamilton won first premium in cows and well deserved It, p he bas a fine animal. It was one which at tracted a great deal of attention, be ing in perfect condition and fine color. Mr. Hamilton was especially thanked by the agricultural com mittee for exhibiting this animal. John P. Trltsch took first prize for Shorthorn cow and he had a great animal to show for it. It was a roan and was a big, rangy animal with excellent beef, as well as milk qual ities. Mr. Trltsch Is to be congratu lated on the high grade of this splendid animal. Elbert Wiles, in the Shorthorn class, also exhibited some great animals and took a num ber of prizes. His fine bull won first prize In this class and his cow took second. Both theso animals are fine and merited the recognition shown them. Owing to Inability of tho commit tee to prepare the list of awards in the horses and hogs and grain and fruits, and a lack of space on the part of the Journal to print them today, the same will appear tomor row and Saturday. In connection with the stock show too much credit cannot be given the members of the agricul tural committee for their work. They labored unceasingly day and night and made a brilliant success of the affair. Messrs. Luke L. Wiles and George A. Kaffenberger deserve lots of credit, as they neglected their business affairs, and In addition made exhibits without having time to properly prepare them. They un doubtedly lost some prizes which they might havo taken with more time. On the whole the stock show was n groat one, and next year It will hold for three or four days, and be three or four times ns large. Clearing skies shortly after din ner gave hope of a good afternoon today, and there Is every Indication that the remainder of the day will bo a thorough bmcccrs and he after noon program will be carried out to the letter with a big banquet at Coatea hnll this evening. Owing to the Inclement weather the Fort Crook bund cancelled their date, as there seemed little prospect of their being able to hold a concert and thnt their projected dance would be a failure. Aside from this the pro gram ns mapped out will-be given. Prospects for tomorrow are bright, and the last three days will doubt less be good ones and successful. The Finest In (lie Lund. Have you seen It? If you have not you should go at once to the corner of Fourth and Main streets and see the finest educnted horse In tho world.
