The giants were trim med by the score ot (! to () good nouKh considering the previous work which the local boys had un dergone. The locals convinced the All Stars that they had a few stars of their own who scintillated just as brightly v.a the stars from the me tropolis, iiiitl ihe lcc.als were deter mined to win. It would r.ot be fair to make any particah'.r mention of the brilliant woik cf the individuals on the local team, for they all cov ered their posh ions In the most scientific manner. Considering the fact that the All Starr, are among t'.ie best teams in the big town up the creek, the heals are entitled to a vast amount ri credit for their good work In showing that they are not all stars by some. It can be said for riattsniouth that It has one of the best football tec pis in the t tato, and they deserve Fph-nd!d patronage.

Mr. Skoumal has been a resi dent of this city for many years, and is one of the best known and most respected of the Bohemian residoats. He was the father of several children, most of whom reside in Omaha, and who enme clown to this city this aft ernoon. Among others was his son, John Skoumal, who was formerly em ployed in the I'urlinglon shops In this city. A daughter, Mrs. Murray, is also a re sident of that city. One of his sons, Anton J. Skoumal, iil:;o lives in the metropoii.i, and is well known in this eity, where lie spent l.is boyhood days. ' Mr. Skoumal will probably bo hurled tomorrow, although at the time the Journal goes to press this is not dolinitely Fettled.

It' was very funny to hear some of the remarks made last night in reference to the new street gas lights. Some thought they were rp-t large 'enough and elid not spread enough light.

The western farmer is showing him self pretty independent, and bis cir cumstances are such that he is going to hold his grain until he juts his price, and this without combination or any undertaking in "restraint of trade." In the New York Evening 1'cst, a western miller tells his story thus: "A farmer who has 10,000 bushels of grain in Ids elevator came to ine and asked the pi ie-e of wheat. When offered f 2 cents lie replied: "It won't do. 1 can borrow money at the batik at G per cent, and that is a better risk than to sell the wheat." He did bor row the money, and now within four weeks ha.; a profit of $800 or, his wheat v.ith the feasibility of yet. more.
