ALLEN SAYS CLEVELAND GREAT
EST OF RECENT PRESIDENTS.
ESTIMATE OF POPULIST LEADER
Former U. S. Senator Allen Reads of
Cleveland's Death In The News.
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 ,

DROWNS IN UNION CREEK.
VICTIM RAISED IN HUMPHREY

Madison , Neb. , Juno 21. Special to
The News : Robert Baumgart , a young
man employed as fireman nt the city
power station , drowned In Union creek
last evening within a few hundred
yards of the business center of the

covered thirty minutes after the acci
dent. Baumgart came from Hum
phrey , where his father , Frederick
Baumgart , Is a member of the brick
manufacturing firm of Banmgart &
Kuehn.
The drowning occurred about 7
o'clock. The scene was not far from
the power station. Baumgart , who
was a young man of twenty-two en
tered the waters for a plunge before
going to work.
A young son of Electric Light Com
missioner Kernlck was also In the
water. Soon the boy's frightened cry
told that Baumgart had gone down.
Sound Fire Alarm.
The fire alarm was sounded at once ,
calling the members of the department
to help In the rescue work. It was
thirty minutes however before the
body was brought to the surface al
though every effort was made to lo
cate It.
Efforts to restore vitality were
futile.
The young man's parents were
called up from Humphrey last night.
The funeral will be held In Humphrey.
The drowned man was a member of
the Madison Odd Fellows and Modern
Woodmen.
Young Baumgart had worked in
Madison for about a year. Before
coming here he worked for A. L.
Graves north of town.

occurred.
SUNDAY SENT SWELTERING NOR
FOLK TO THE WOODS.
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.
The continued rains , which shoved
the arrival of real summer weather
back towards the latter part of June ,
left Norfolk people unprepared for the
intense heat when It came so suddenly.
Year For Hog Stealing.
O'Neill Democrat : In the district
court Tuesday , Frank Welier who
some time ago pleaded guilty to com
plicity in the Atkinson hog stealing
cases , was sentenced by Judge Har

GREGORY GRANTS FRANCHISE
F. C. Largen Secures Lighting Fran
chise Lights In Ninety Days.
Gregory , S. D. , June 22. Special to
The News : The town council has
ganted a franchise for an electric
lighting system In the city of Gregory
to F. C. Largen , who proposes to in
stall at once a complete and up-to-date
electric lighting system and to have
the same In running order within
ninety days. He left immediately on
the Northwestern for Omaha to pur
chase an outfit and arrange for the
Immediate construction of the plant.
Gregory agrees to take so many arc
lights for street purposes and grants
a twenty year franchise. The town
reserves the right to buy the plant at
any time after ten years. Mr. Largen ,
to begin with , will have about four
hundred and fifty lights besides the
street lighting. He will erect his own
Liulldlng of concrete construction and
will put In one of the best lighting
systems In the country.
Gregory Is now a city of some 1,700
people and Is badly In need of an
electric lighting system. The building
of the system will add a great deal
to the prestige Gregory has already
attained. The city Is growing rapidly
and the chances are that the plant put
in this year will have to be doubled
next year In order to keep up with the
growth of the city.
