From Friday's Dally.
After a long lifetime, covering-
over ninety years, Andrew Kearn,
one of the pinners of this sec
tion and formerly a wealthy fann
er, passed away this morning at
the county farm, west of this city,
where he had been for about a
month.
Mr. Kearn came here in the
early sixties and was for years
Ihe owner of one of the finest
farms in Ml. Pleasant precinct,
but later sold it, and his wealth
rapidly look wings and in a few
ears he was reduced to poverty
by his careless management and
(lie fact that he was laken ad
vantage of by many of his so-called
friends. After the disappear
ance of his money lie was deserted
by his friends and il was a short
lime ago, on account of his failing
jheallh he was removed by I he
j county to Ihe poor farm, where
lie could be taken belter care of.
His lirsl wife died a great many
ears ago and he lalcr remarried,
hut his wife secured a divorce, as
in his laler-years il was almost
impossible to live in Ihe same
hou-e with him on account of his
objectionable habits. Two chil
dren, a son, Andrew, and daugh
ter. I'.velyn, reside ill South Oma
ha willi I heir inol her, and on their
arrisal the funeral arrangements
w ill be completed. The interment
will probably be made in Ihe
Eight. Mile Orove cemetery, where
his llrst wife is buried.
Mr. Kearn was a native of
Switzerland and came to Ibis
country when a young man, and
hiking advantage of Ihe cheap
land, made his fori one, but in his
old age it was taken from him and

From Saturday's Dally.
The musical given at the High
school last evening was a splen
did success in every way and the
young ladies of the school who
arranged the alTair are feeling
very much elated over the manner
in which the excellent program
was carried out. One of the most
pleasing numbers given was the
selection given by the Young
Men's Glee club, 'which was
heartily encored, and the club was
forced to respond a number of
limes, so loud was the demand
from the delighted audience. This
club is composed of some twenty
young men, and there were some
sixteen on band last evening and
their singing was a revelation,
even to those who have heard
them practice, as they were m
splendid voice and their work re
flects great credit upon their in
structor, Mrs. Mae Morgan, who
has been assisting them in their
work Ibis winter. Miss Hazel
Tuey was the accompanist for
the (Sire club.
The violin solo by Prof. Kolbaba
was up to the usual high standard
of I hat gentleman and served to
greatly please the audience, as
did Ihe solo of Chester Tuey on
the violin, and I hey were both re
ceived with much applause from
the audience. The duet by Mes
danies E. If. Wescolt and Mae
Morgan was one of the hits of Ihe
evening and Ihe numbers given
suited the audience and it was
with regret that lliey allowed Ihe
ladies lo relire.
Misses ferns ami lvane torn
also favored the gathering wilh
vocal numbers, as well as Misses
Emma faiinniins and Ilonora Sey
herl on the piano, end lhal. these
ladies were excellent in their work
it is unnecessary lo slate, as
their appearance before Plall.s
nioiilh audiences in Ihe past has
wain for them a very high plane
in I lie musical life of Ihe city.
Little Miss Helen Wescolt was
present at Ihe musical and favor
ed the assembly with one of her
pretty little songs, which was
given in a manner lhal. won the
hearts of all who were present.
Miss Marie Oouglass was on the
program for a reading and gave
it in a manner and style lhal is
hers alone, and this feature of
the program was one that pleased
everyone, as Miss Douglass is
finished in her work and her read
ings, are never overdrawn, and
wilh her splendid voice if is a
great pleasure to hear her, ami
her work last, night, was very
much appreciated.
There wi re a number of others
on the program, but owing lo Ihe
I hreatening wrath M hey were un
able to attend, as was also many

gave the rnlerlainmenl in order

realized a rry neat snni as a re
fill! of I heir ell'orl ;.
From Saturday's Dully.
Last evening about 9 o'clock an
accident occurred near Cedar
Creek which resulted in the death
u few hours later of Thomas
Archer, an aged man, who had
been employed in the stone quar
ries at Cedar Creek for some time
and who for the past few weeks
had been in charge of the quaran
tine camp there, where the small
pox patients were kept, but about
ten days ago was released and
thoroughly disinfected and had
resumed his duties at Ihe quarry.
Last evening lie had been
occurred some time ago, but on
account of sickness in the family
it was impossible to observe the
event until Tuesday, when the
young ladies proceeded to the
Mriggs home, where the hostess,
after recovering from the sur
prise, gave the gue; ts a royal re
ception and the evening was en
joyably spent, and time Hew
swiftly with games, music and
social conversation. The class
presented Mrs. Mriggs with a
beautiful remembrance in the
shape of n souvenir spoon of solid
sHver for Ihe service she has ren
dered the class as teacher during
the past year or two. The enjoy
ment of Ihe evening was height
ened by a most tempting lunch
eon served by the hostess, and
the birthday celebration will bo
fondly remembered both by the
class and teacher.

the company has installed makes
the service all that could be asked
and not only gives the patrons a
much quicker service, but also
greatly lightens the burden cm the

the switchboard falls, attracting
the operator's alleulion and the

the connection is made a light on
the hoard lights up and remains
