H HOME About Two Hundred and Fifty Present to Listen to the Charming Music. One of (he most pleasant rnu-ical vents r I In season was r-'iven at (lie bnndsonn- home of .Mi", ami .Mrs. I). . I'wyer yester day alleinoon ami was in the na ture of an informal conceit by a numher of prominent musicians' of Omaha, who were at the Dwyer home for an over Sunday visit. The parly consisted of K. M. Clark and wife, ltichard (Hark and wife, IMwin Morton and Robert (Hark, Will lfearini:lou, and Mr. and Mrs. Tiemn and Utile daughter, Cieit rude. All of the visitors are splendid musicians and the pro gram j-'iven by them was one that was a rare treat lo listen to. They were assisted in the dif ferent musical numbers by K. II. Schulhof and Richard Avard of I his city on the coronet and claironel. Little Mi-f Tiemn, who is only X years of ae, jrave two most delightful violin solos that won the warm approval of all who were fortunate enough to be pres ent, and demonstrated the splen did ability possessed by this little lady. Miss Harriett Slaughter, of Cleveland, Ohio, a cousin of Mr. E. M. Clark, who is making- a short visit with them, en route from lier home to Los Angeles, California, was also with the party and pave several splendid recita tions that demonstrated the won derful ialent that this lady pos sesses as an elocutionist, and her numbers were by far the best that it has I eeri I he good fortune of our people o enjoy. The Clark family and their friends are well known to a great many of the residents of this sec lion and there were a large num ber pr esent to enjoy I he concert, and some 2." people assembled on the lawn at the Dwyer home lo en joy the delightful musical treat. Amontr Ihe out-of-town guests present were: L. O. Todd and family of Nehawka, Mrs. J. R. I'ierson of Union, Deitrich Koes ter and family of Weeping- Wa ter, A. L. Todd and family, A. E. Todd and family, T. K. Todd and family and C. R. Todd and family, from west of the city, and Jack M. Patterson and wife of Union. WHEAT NOT SO HEAVY AS IAST YEAR ONLY 30 BOSHELS PER ACKER R. L. Propst of Mynard and his sons have just completed a job of threshing at. the farm r Luke L. Wiles, near this city, and Ihe re sult of the yield has been quite gratifying- to Mr. Wiles, as the wheat averaged some thirty bush els to the acre and is of very pood quality. The wheat is not as heavy as last year, but then the crop of last season was an excep tionally heavy one, while this year it is as Rood as generally is found in the west, and is of excellent quality. Mr. Propst has done considerable threshing this sea son so far and finds that the wheal, he has handled is as good as has been threshed out in the past few years. The Journal ads pay. Yesterday afternoon the Red Sox gathered in another victory on the diamond, when they added the scalp of the K. & M. team of Omaha to their collection by the decisive score of 8 to 1. Tin Omaha learn was composed of some of the old veterans of the game, but their skill was lacking; yesterday against the heavv stick work of the local boys, and the Sox took full advantage of the oc casion to fatten their batting' averages at the expense of voting Mr. Lusely, the 17-year-old won der, who attempted to do the twirling- for Ihe visitors, and se cured seventeen hits off of his delivery, which were productive of eight runs, while the K. & M.'s were able to annex only two hits from Pike. The game opened very favor ably for the visitors, when Molarity was able to place a grounder to second base on which he reached first on a wild throw, but was nipped a few minutes later at the second sack. Cass, who followed, was only able to hit to first, where he was retired; Minieus then coming- to bat laced one out to third that was secured by llerold, who threw to first, but as Ault was only six feet tall he could not reach the ball and the runner was safe on the sack. Knabe retired the visitors, how ever, by being- thrown out at first base. Arries opened the game for Plaltsmouth by striking- out; Parriott was juggled out between short and first; C. Smith was given a lease of life by being' pre sented with a base on balls, but was unable to do business, as while llerold was attempting' to connect with Ihe ball, Smith re tired the side by attempting- to steal second, and was caught easily. There was nothing- doing- for the visitors in the second inning1, as they did not even get to first base and retired in one, two, three order. Our sterlings, however, succeeded in chalking- up the first score of the game, when llerold was allowed his base on ba'lls; Carle attempted a sacrifice and laid a bunt down the third base line that could not be handled in lime and the batter was able to reach first safely. William Ma son, who was there with the big stick yesterday, straightened out on one of the slants of Lou.-ley's and placed it out to center field in safety, which brought Herobl home and advanced Carle to third; Ault, who also had his batting eye working", followed at bat and laid down a line bunt, on which he reached first, but Carle, who was slow in getting into action, was nipped at the home plate as he attempted to score. Pike hit to short and Mason was thrown out at third and 1'ike at first, which retired the side. The visitors secured their solitary tally in the third inning", when Pearson rapped out a two bagger to center field, an'd being" the first man up the situation looked very dubious for a few minutes; Lousley retired, Parriott to Ault, Pearson advancing' on the out, and a few minutes later he scored on a balk by Pike, who was attempting" the fast return and was wound up to deliver the ball when he found the catcher was not ready for the throw and he was compelled to allow the runner to come home; Morarity then followed and rapped out an other two-bag"ger, making" the. situation quite critical, but little damage was done, as Cass was out on a lly to Parriott, while Minieus fanned out, retiring- the side. The Red Sox did not fret dangerous in their half, although two men were on the bases, but were unable to get in scoring distance of the home plate. To even matters up the Red Sox got busy in the fourth, after the visitors had been retired, and ad ded, another to their list of scores. Carle had been put out on a hit to second and Mason struck out, when Ault came to bat and suc cessfully placed a safe single in center field and was advanced when Pike singled to left, and on the hit of Neitzel Ault scored. NeitzeU was""retired at second when he attempted to steal. The balloon containing the hopes of the K. & M.'s took flight in the seventh inning, when the Red Sox buried them beneath an avalanche of hits that resulted in six scores being annexed by the locals Parriott, who opened the inning for Ihe locals was retired, Lousley to Knabe; C. Smith was given first base by gelling part of his body in Ihe way of one of the slants of Lousley; Herobl was put out on a hit, o shortstop; Carle was walked by Lousley; Mason then opened up the excitement by making a hot hit to third base that scored Smith; Ault I hen came to the front and placed a safe one lo right field; Pike, who followed Ault at bal, proceeded to put the game on ice by rapping out a two bagger to center field, which brought in Carle, Mason and Ault. Neitzel added lo the agony of (In visitors by singling lo centei scoring Pike, and Arries, with a Iwo-bagger, scored Neitzel. Par riott retired Ihe side by a foul out to first base.

Late Saturday night near tlx midnight hour, Charles Zitka, re siding in the west part of the city on the south road lo the cemetery, was killed by being run over by a train on the Missouri Pacific within half a block his home. From w hat in formal ion tliJit con hi be secured it seems that parlies at Ihe Missouri Pa cific depot who were awaiting Ihe coming of the south bound mid night train saw Zitka there and it is claimed that he caught, the train to ride to his home, which is just west of the crossing on Pearl street. It is thought that a he attempted to alight from (he moving train he fell back under Ihe cars and was mangled by Ihe fast moving train. Shortly after the passing of the train one of the residents near the crossing, who was sleeping in the yard at his home, heard a loud scream and hastened to the spot from whence il seemed to pro ceed, and found the body of Mr. Zitka lying along the hacks badly mangled and almo.-t unrecogniza ble. The right leg Was severed just above the knee, while on the shoulder a large section of the lle.-h had been lorn and the fa-e was stralche,i and cut in li ighl ful shape o as to make it ;lmo.-t unrecognizable. From Ihe wound.- on the body it would seem that the nan had attempted to alivht from the train and falling back under it had been dragged a Consider able distance to inflict the injures he hat! received. A few years ago Zitka was struck by a train while walking along the track, only a short dis tance from where the tragedy oc curred Saturday night, and on that occasion was hurled some twenty feet down asteep embank ment, but this did not result in any serious damage to him and evidently did not prove an object lesson to keep ofi the track and right-of-way. The authorities were notified at once alter me oiscoverv o i :i bodv and it was removed to the undertaking rooms of M. Hild, where the inquest was held under Ihe direction of Coroner Clements. Mr. Zitka was a oung man and unmarired, who bail been making his home with his father on the home place on the cemetery road for the past few years. He was employed for a short time as a driver by Edward onnt. the pro prietor of the Peerless bar, and was a young man ot quiie an ex tensive acquaintance throughout I lie city, and his many friends will regret very deeply to learn of his death. The coroner's jury, after view ing the body, retired lo the court house and after a short delibera tion brought in a verdict that the voung man came to his death by icing run over by a smith bound train on the Missouri Pacific be tween the hours of 11 p. m. and 12:30 a. m. The funeral of Ihe unfortunate young man was neiii mis morning from the undertaking rooms of M. Hild, and the body inferred in Oak Mill cemetery. 1 Of our B Harvest Sale. Daily Specials. S ..MORE..
