Miss Nellie Lewis , the young- est daughter of the late John 11. Lewis of Shubert , died at her home at that place last Sunday morning , at the age of 28 years , after a lingering illness of sev- eral months. The deceased had ' been a cripple all o'f her life , never having been able to walk , but she had always been a patient sufferer , always ready with a smile and a kind word for all with whom she came in contact y ' Her last illness extended over a _ period of several months , the best medical aid that could be pro- > cured availing her nothing and she was relieved. ot her suffering as stated above by Him who cloeth all things well. The funeral was held on Tues- . clay and the remains interred in I' ' the Prairie Union cemetery.

' 1' . on last Sunday morning Mr. Shurfleff ' once lived in this city . . : ' and is well known by many of . . " , . , our citizens. When found dead "c. . . he had in hi's pocket a letter from Harry Simon of Rulo. The officers telegraphed Simon to learn something of the deceased's relatives but they could not be found and he was buried at 'I'ul- sa. t Centra.l ) Committee Meetin . 1 The republican county central committee held its meeting , in the office of the secretary of the committee in this city on Wednesday - day afternoon , many of the committeemen - mitteemen being present John Hossack , chairman , presided at the meeting. Quite a spirited debate was I had as to whether the county ' convention should be held on the _ 24th or 27th day of this month , - the vote of the members of the committee being a tie , and it was I finally decided by the chairman in favor of the 27th. . lVIr. 'Yeller of Stella made a rr spirited contest for holding the 1 ; convention in Stella , offering the use of the opera house , and offer- ant many - favorable ' considerations - tions l\'Ir. Marls : of Verdon wanted the convention to be held 2 1 in Verdon , but the sentiment of the meeting was decidedly in favor of holding the convention at Falls City. It was decided to hold the prim- I aries on Saturday May 20th , at t . . ! . r - p an hour and place to be dcsig- nated by the precinct committee- mcn. Time basis of. representation - tion being one vote for each ten votes or major fraction thereof given' to the Hon. E. J. Burkett for representative in 1904 , we re- fer our readers to the call pub- fished elsewhere for the number of delegates apportioned to each precinct. It was also decided to place all arrangements for the congres- sional convention to be held in this city on June 1st , in , the hands of the Roosevelt club of Falls City. - r Ma..ust.Brya.nt. At Kansas City , Mo. , Sunday evening , April 30th , at 6:45 : o'clock occurred the marriage of Albert : Maust of this city teNancy Nancy Bryant of Kansas City. The home of the bride's par- ents , where the ceremony took place , was beautifully decorated for the occasion with cut flowers and potted plants. The wedding was a quiet one , being attended only by the immediate relatives oft h e contracting parties. Shortly after the ceremony the young couple took the Missouri . Pacific train for Falls City , arriving - . riving hcre : Monday morning. A large reception was given 1\lr. and l\Irs. 1\faust by the par- ents of the former , assisted by lVIr. and lrs. 1. C. : Maust , on Thursday evening , a more de- tailed account of which we are unable to give on account of go- ing- to press Albert l\Iaust is one of the most popular and progressive of our younger business men. He , together with his brother , 1. C. 1vlaust , has complete charge of the coal and grain business : of E. A. : Maust & Sons ' His bride is represented to be a young lady of exceptional accom- plishments and talent. She is the daughter of a prominent woolen manufacturer of Kansas City , and will doubtless be a dis- tinct addition to the young mar- ried set. 1\Ir. and : Mrs. Iaust will make their home in the residence va- cated by Dr A.

James , the county attor- ( hey , did his full duty when he dismissed the indictment against young Carson of Auburn , It may be that the young man did commit the offense wtih which he was charged , in this county But it is a matter of commoned . knowledge that he also commit it many times in Nemaha county. Judge Stull came before the grand jury of this county and got the indictment. We have troubles of our own , and if Judge Stu11 wants Carson punished let his own county bear the expense of prosecuting its own criminals. James did exactly right. Little Boy lIurt. On Sunday morning while on his way home from Sunday school the seven year old son of Mr . dud Mrs. Frank Vaughn was running and playing on the Morton Street viaduct and some way fell to the , concrete flooring about sixteen feet below. Little fellow was at once taken to his home and Dr. Houston was called and the in- jured members dressed , which required a number of stitches to be taken in the forehead. The patient is . resting nicely and in a few weeks he will fully recover.
