Lii Hummer, who died in Lincoln j

Xovimber 2;. ISf). in Clermont
county, Ohio. He moved with his fa
ther to Ies Moines count v. Iowa, in
March. 1ST4. In 1SST. he removed to
Afion. T":iien county. Iowa.
l!i March. 1SV. he came to Xe-bra-ka

He remained in their employ nni.il

sisrned the papers and brsed a
IdincT to fp. :i a business of Plum-
tbe Xorthwestern, witlch is now in

Mr. Hummer was the firbt :iian to
sign money, ?r.0C, to make the fight
against the railroads for an equitable
freight rate to Lincoln.
In the struggle with the railroads
Eli Hummer was the man who made
the arrangements with Tom Potter of
the Union Pacific for a deal on rales
for Lincoln, which after the death of
Ten Potter was carried out by Thom
as Kimball. During the rate war
there came a discouraging time and
the ttrcmg men in the contest weak

ind a report made i;y a committee
which had been to .see the railroad
company which was to the effect
that nothing could be done and the
committee asked that they shor.M re
port to the railroads that tr?e fight
would be withdrawn. E:i PliM.mer
said no. and bustled a few good men
together and instructed the commit
tee to report to the ij.iivoad company
that the fight would go on to the
end of time, if rates were not made
right. And the committee was ad
vised that if they did net make the
right kind of a report and show
backbone they, thf committee, wo-i-d
be advised to leave town. The com

cheaper at $1.95 than you could buy the cloth for by the yard. Also another small lot,

fflUNG LADES HAVE
ENJOYABLE EVENING
Junior Auxiliary of St. Luke's Ten
der Very Pleasant Entertainment
at Public Library Auditorium.
From Wf ilnep'ta v's raitv.
Last evening the little ladies com
prising the Juni'T Auxiliary of the
St. Luke's Episcopal church present
id a very clever and entertaining
playlet at the auditorium of the pub
lic library and the result reflected
great credit upon the little folks tak
ing part. The program consisted of a
delightful farce entitled "A Precious
Pickle" as well as a musical sketch.
"A Yard of Dandelions." and in both
cf these the clever young people dem
onstrated their skill and ability as
entertainers. The stage of the audi
torium had been very artist icallyr
ranged for the occasion and made a
charming setting for the exceptional
ly pleasing entertainments. Owing
to the sudden illness of ?.li.?s Violet
Bt gley, w ho was given one of the im
portant parts in the entertainment,
the leading role was carried by Miss
Helen Clement, and this little lady
gave a very fine rendition of the dif
ferent parts in which she appeared
and as the soioist in the "Yard of
Dandelions" wa., especially pleasing.
Miss Clement wave as a solo number
tue popular rung "Bubbles" which
v.au received with marked approval
by the audience. Miss Thelnia
Kroehler with her lisping song and
clever impersonation of the role of
"Sissie Gabble" was another of the
especially enjoyable features of the
entertainment. Miss Katherine Mc
Mal.cn appeared in the role of
"Jttr.c" end her ability as an actress
lent much force to this role. In the
part of "Mi" Pebcea Peas" Miss
C. E, Wescott's Sons

EVERYBODY'S STORE"
Ursula llerold was most delightful
while the roles of the city girls on a
vacation was carried out by Hisses
Helen Ltdgway and Dorothy Peters.
Miss Elizabeth Waddick was given
one cf the principal characters in
the farce and here cleverness assisted
greatly in the splendid success scored
by the members of the company. In
the musical sketch "A Yard of Dan
delions" Miss Clement carried the
solo parts in her usual pleasing man
rer and the dancing numbers by the
dandelions, comprising Edith Ledg
way, Yiolet Speck, Genevieve
liatt and Ida Egenberger
v. ere very beautiful as well as clever
as the ycung ladies were costumed in
h.'pirg with their role and their
yellow farments in the soft glow of
the foot lights resembled greatly the
golden dandelions.
The accompanists for the two en
tertainments were Mrs. T. P. Bates
and Mrs. P. II. Fields, and these la
dies at the piano assisted very much
in the success of the occasion.
During the preparation of the
young ladies for the entertainment
they have had the advantage of the
aid and service of Mrs. W. S. Leete
and her excellent judgment in mat
ters of this kind was reflect en in the
very pleasing results secured from
the entertainment.
The entertainment was repeated
this afternoon at the public library
at the story hour and tomorrow ev
ening will be given for the benefit of
the old folks at the Masonic home.

From Wednesdays Dally
This morning the appeal from the
county court in the matter of the
guarianship of Dorothy Hirz, minor,
was on trial before Judge James T.

thy is one of the little daughters of
Henry Tlirz, Jr., who v.as killed in

For several months the little one has
been in the care of Mr. and Mrs.

city, while her little sister, Helen,
has been in the care of Mrs. Schutz,
aunt of the children and was ap

Harry Smith, the local mcnuum::t

in preparing and erecting the beau
tiful shafts cf granite and marble
which have been purchased by fam

fine work has been turned out by
Mr. Smith. He has just prepared a
fine monument of Barre granite
which was especially ordered from
the quarries at Barre. Vt., and which
has been erected on the Adam Kraeg

monument is one similar to that
erected on the George A. Meisinger

one of the handsomest of its kind

of monuments on hand at his shop
that will soon be ready to be placed
