T.E.TODD MO HIS NEW STUDEBAKER AUTOMOBILE REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS IN CASS COUNTY i APPLIES EOR HIS SECOND NATURALIZATION PAPERS I 0 HID il REST Last Sad Rites Attended by Large Concourse of Near and Dear Friends of the Young Man. The funeral services of the late John Speck were held yeslerday from the home of his mother, Mrs. Clans Speck, sr.. on Locust street, ami was attended by a great, crowd of sorrowing friends, who gather ed to pay their last tribute to their worlhy young friend, whose life had been cut, down while yet in I he daw ning of his bright young manhood. The services were conducted at Ilie home of Rev. J. II. Steger of St. Paul's church, who spoke hrielly of the life of the departed and gave the grief-stricken rela tives consoling words of the meeting in the future, where part ings and griefs will be unknown. He spoke in part as follows: "Death always comes veiled in mystery and draped in sadness, hut in the dispensation which has gathered us together, (here are elements of peculiar sorrow. A brief, bright earthly life, radiant while it lasted with sunshine and joy for all around, and to human view full of promise for the future, lias come to a close. A be loved son, who brought so much gladness in the home, has closed his life, his work is done. Over and above the natural buoyancy of youth there was in him the bright sparkle and clTcrsccnce of a mind which was singularly quick to its apprehension. For years lit! worked for business men of our city, who, without desiring to flat ter, unanimously declare that the deceased was a very arlive and in dustrious young man." A quarlet from the church sang several of the old, wcll-lovod hymns during the service, which were so appropriate to the gentle, kindly life of the departed friend. The rturlington band and Modern Woodmen, of winch John was a member, attended the services in a body, and acted as an escort for the casket to the grave in Oak Hill cemetery, the band playing the funeral march. The floral tributes were lavish and expressed the universal hiph opinion thai wns held of this most worthy young man, and his departure will leave a place hard to till among the circle of his friends. At the home the Sons of Her man were present In pay their last respects, and many of them accompanied the collage to the grave, where a short prayer serv ice was held by llev. J. II. Steger, afler which the Modern Woodmen of America gae their beautiful ritual service for Hie dead as Hie casket was lowered to its last earthly resting place. The pall hears were selected from members of the Woodmen and I he Cosmo politan club, of which organiza tion the departed brother had been u very loyal member, ami were as follows: Clou Scott, Fred Jess, Frank Smith, Karl (ieise, William Ileinrich and Alviu Murray. John Milium Speck was born at Plaltsmoulh, Neb., October 13, 1HS3, and has resided in this city during the period of his lifetime.

MARY ANN STRE1GHT FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE BALL GAME OF THE SEASON A Fair Crowd Present to Witness Game, Notwithstanding the Threatening Weather. New Telephone Line. The farmers in Hie vicinity of Mynard nro engaged in putting in an independent telephone line, which has been constructed by A. W. Vallery. The line starts from the linine of Mr. Vallery and runs into Mynard. The farmers along the line have all taken telephones and in a short time it is expected to complete the work, when it will be possible to connect with Hie Lincoln Telephane and Tele graph company's' station at My nard. The event of the year that has been looked forward to with much interest by the base ball fans of the city occurred yesterday after noon, when the Boosters opened the season of 1013 at their park by going up against the team rep resenting the Dundee Woolen Mills company of Omaha, Despite the disagreeable weath er, there was a very fair lurnoul of I he lovers of the game and they were greatly pleased wilh the showing made by (he local boys. Connors and Mason olllcialed on the slab for the Boosters, while Mann was on the job back of the bat. The opposing pitcher was touched up quite lively in the lirst inning, when the Boosters brought home a score, repealing the feat in the fourth inning. At the close of the game the score stood 2 to 0 in favor of Platlsmoutli. The Roosters are starting out in far better shape than last year, and all of them are showing much heller balling ability, and if they continue in the same, good form they will make a ball team of which any town can feel proud. The team base secured Sauls- burg for Hie third sack this sea son and he is going to make some third baseman, too you can set this down in your dope book, and with I he regulars of last season to furnish I he coaching, the new- material in the team can be de pended upon to show un in line shape.
