Pays Tribute to Man With Whom He Differed on Many Issues. "Cleveland was an Intellectual giant. He was Infinitely the largest man in tellectually whom I have known among the recent presidents. While he was a pleasurable man he was not as pleasing to meet as McKlnley. I regret - grot very much to hear of his death because he was a man of great liter ary talent. " An estimate of President Cleveland by Former United States Senator William V. Allen of Madison. Senator Allen first learned of Cleve land's death when he secured a copy of the noon edition of The News at the Junction station. Senator Allen was on his way to the old soldiers' reunion , at Tllden where he spoke during the afternoon. "Cleveland's state papers will show his Intellectual qualities qualities which I am willing to concede that ho had beyond any man who has been president In recent years. I differ with Cleveland as to his financial policy. Other of his policies I also took exceptions to. Some of his poli cies were both vigorous and right. " TWENTY-SECOND PRESIDENT Cleveland Was Married In the White House Events of His Life. Stephen Grover Cleveland was the twenty-second president of the United States. Ho was married In the white house on June 2,188G , to Miss Frances Folsom j , a very beautiful and accom plished society leader In America. His fiist term was characterized by his j very bold advocacy of reduction of tariff duties and by his opposition to what he considered unworthy bills. During one session he vetoed 115 out of 987 bills that passed both houses of congress. Of this number 102 were private I pension bills. During this same session he directly antagonized the t senate by refusing to give that body his reasons for removing certain officers or to deliver up certain papers ordering said changes ; claiming that the j president is not amenable to con gress for such acts and that the papers were not official documents. Leading events of his second term were the withdrawal of the Hawalan annexation treaty , his attempt to re store Queen Liliuokalani , the gold drain by which the reserve In the treasury was so depleted that several Issues of bonds became necessary and a great railroad strike in the summer of 1904 , with Coxey's and Kelly's armies of tramps marching across the country , some even threatening to assassinate Cleveland. At the age of sixteen Cleveland was thrown on his own resources by the death of his father , and he became bookkeeper ' and assistant teacher in the ' New York Institution for the blind. WAS CLEVELAND'S GUEST. Dr. Bear Once Guest of President Whom He Helped Twice to Nominate Few people in Norfolk were more affected by the death of America's ex- president yesterday than Dr. A. Bear , who recalls with pleasure the few times he met Mr. Cleveland. "Of course It came as a shock when I opened The News yesterday after noon and saw In big type the death of Grover Cleveland , " said Dr. Bear in comment. "It was the suddenness of the thing ; not so much' of the death as the news of it staring out at yon without any warning. "Cleveland's death will bring forth some fine eulogies. Out west we do not realize the extent of the affection In which Cleveland is held In the east. " Dr. Bear was a guest of President Cleveland at a dinner in the white house shortly before the president's marriage. He recalls the ox-president as a hearty eater and companionable host. host.Dr. Dr. Bear helped nominate Cleveland In 1884 and again In 188S. He did not attend the convention of 1892 , when Mr. Cleveland was nominated for a third time. Senator Hale repre sented Madison county In that con vention. When Cleveland came west to Nebraska In 1905 to speak at the unveiling of the Morton monument In Nebraska City Dr. Bear was In Mexico. That Dr. Bear was determined on by President Cleveland In his first term as United States marshal for Nebraska Is a bit of unwritten his tory of Nebraska politics. Dr. Bear's appointment , though ready to be sent to the senate , never reached that body for a vacancy In the marshal's office did not occur. Just as the Arthur ad ministration was to end President Arthur appointed Blerbower as mar shal. His term of four years ran through the entire democratic admin istration. That Blorbower was not re moved from office to make way for a democrat was duo largely to the fact that Governor Boyd , then national democratic commltteeman , was the father-in-law of the republican mar shal , ; ' ROBERT BAUMGART , AGE 22 , DROWNS IN UNION CREEK.

BUT IT MADE THE CORN GROW Saturday Was a Forerunner of Sunday , the First "Hottest Day of the Year. " Straw Hat Season Claims Its Own. The "Panama" has arrived. Satur day the straw bat made great Inroads on the felt head pieces. Sunday it swept all before it. Sunday was the hottest day of the year. Sweltering humanity went pic- nlclng , went fishing or stayed at home a-fannlng. Sunday night brought little or no relief. The man In a south room was favored above his neighbors. Ninety-three was the mark reached by the themometer during the hottest period of Sunday afternoon. Satur day , another hot day , eighty-nine was reached. But the farmers welcomed the day. It was a corn day. Wherever It has been possible to give attention to corn fields the corn made great progress.
