The non-appearance of the go tle savages was a great disappoint- ment as it had been confidently ex- pected that they would be present, It is now thought that the agent in charge of them concluded that there would be no celebration owing to Prosidont Garfield's condition and therefore did not allow them to come. Pierce’s balloon un- fortunately met with an accident that rendered it totally unfit for use. Owing to the high wind it is doubtful whether a successful ascension could have been made. Most of the remain- ing portion of the programme was comparatively unexciting and people gencrally were dissatisfied. The first event of importance was the base ball match games between the B. & M. boys and the Kansus City, Fort Scott and Gulf boys., The match began at half t eleven, Tt was soon apparent that the B. & M. nine would gain an easy victory. The playing was excellent especiall Durkee's pitching which was too much for the Kansas City boys. The Kan- sas City boys, however, played well considering this was their first match gan Twitchell the pitcher did some admirable work. The value of the prize gained by the B. & M. was 8$75. The following are the names of the B. & M. nine: Durkee, Saxe, Austin, Brandt, Foreman, Scott, McLain, Evers and Hall. The Kansas City boys were: Rings, Twitchell, Divesly, Dickenson, Hill, Thomas, Winchell, Emmett and Spears. Mr, C. J. Smythe made an efficient umpire, The B. & M. boys won by a score of thirteen to one. The first race was called at two o'clock and by this time the concourse of spectators had vastly increased, ‘This race, known as the 2:45 race,had three horses entered, the Baker mare, owned by J. M. Patrick and driven by, Chris Nevins, Mollic Patchen, owned by John A. Creighton and driven by Beardsley, Oddfellow, own- ed by John I Redick, and driven by Clifford. At the word “‘go,” Molhe Patchen was at the pole, the Baker mare second, and Oddfellow in the rear. The half was done in 1:24, the Baker mare being considerably in the lead. Mollie Patchen was ex- erting her utmost to outstrip her rival, Baker mare, however, won the heat by two lengths. Time 2:42, The entertainment was then di- versified by a bicycle race. There were only three competitors, Samuel Bowley, (an Englishman staying at Council Bluffs), Emmet Solomon and Jague. Bowley won. bicycle racing ovi- dently eat deal of amuse ment among the spectators, and there was much applause bestowed upon the winner, Next on the programme was the second heat of the 2:45 race. At the start the Bal mare was leading, with Odd Fellow following her closely and Mollie Patchen in the rear, Odd Fellow made a desperateeffort to gain on the Baker mare, but she came in first, Odd Fellow following and Mollie Patchen third, Time 2:411-2. There was considerable excitement mani- fested in this contest, and the winn of the heat was greeted with enthu- siastic and uproarious cheering, Following this race was another bicycle contest, with the same com- petitors engaged. Samuel Bowley won it and got the medal., Time 2:29 1:2, The finishing heat of the 2:45 race resulted in a victory for the Baker mare. Odd Fellow again did its ut- most, and Mollie Patchen was again third. The heat and race were given to the Baker mare.

The second and final heat was a very interesting contest. It was a sharp race and at the first half mile \\'Ih Iler was somewhat in the lead. But Oddfellow pulled up and amid some excitement came in first and wagaward- ed the heat and race, Time 2:47, The judges were J. R. Hunter, Judge Dundy, and Richard Kitchen, Col, Smythe was very busy as chief marshal, He was assisted by Mr, J, H. Butler. Financially the affair was a success. At the conclusion of the last race the people began trooping homeward and the street cars and other conveyances were crowded almost to suffocation, During the day there was some cap- ital music and dancing in which num- bers present took part, THE FIREWORKS, The pyrotechnic displuy at night was quite extensive and varied. Rockets went up from all parts of the city and illuminated the sky with their colored uissles. The sight was best viewed from the High sehool yard, A large Pllwrwf of people appreciated this act and stayed there until a late hour. ~ The private displays upon Capitol hill were very nice, gx'ud“uln the display would {m\‘u been much greater but for the president’s precari- ous condition.

It soon became evident that the people were in no mood to celebrate in the usual manner, and public sen- timent began to manifest itself openly, About 0 o'clock a tele- gram was received at the Non- pareil office contradicting the pub- lished reports, saying that the presi- | dent had rested well all night, ete. | Tt was received by the people with great eagerness and manifesta- tions of joy.

Brief and feeling speeches were made by Col. J. W.' Chapman, Hon, W. H. M. Pusey, Col. D, B. Dailey. Bloomer, Rev. J. . others, Col. Chapman, in his speech, said: “Perhaps no president was ever in- augurated under more favorable cir- cumstances than was President Gar- /e that in scarcely four months later that noble man is struck down, is too appalling for any- thing, and at this time I cannot find words to express my feelings. If our beloved president should pass away to-day, it should contribute anew to the consecration of the na- tion’s holiday, and render still more sacred the memory of our nation's birthday.” Hon. W, H. M. Pusey said: “‘Doubtless there is not one in this house but remembers thé hushed and sad feeling that pervaded this land when that great martyr, Abraham Lincoln, died at the cruel hand of the assassin, and T think the same feeilng pervades this people to-day, when that great statesman, that noble, gen- erous man, and our beloved president, James A. Gartield, is perhaps near his end as a result of a similar act. Although the American heart bleeds for our dying president, we cannot but feel and realize that our govern- ment will continue to live, even in the event of his death, and that Gen, Arthur will receive the respect, sym- pathy and support of the people as did his beloved and respected predecessor. What ever may have been Gen. Garfield’s political ideas, all qye bur ied at this hour in the deep, sorrow that has overshadowed this nation, I cannot say anvthing that will be of comfort at this time, Hon D. C. Bloomer said: Our beloved President Garfield, a great, grand and zood man, is lying,we fear, upon his deathbed. = We trust and hope his life may be spared, yet we are ready for the worst. As Pr ident Garfield once said, ““There is & God of destiny ruling over this m- try and and it will survive all attempts at its life by killing its officers.” We may still expect this government to go forward, though President Garfield dies. Rev. Father McMenomy said that he could offer but little but he had this to say for himself and the people he represented, that they realize that this is one of the greatest calamities that could possibly have befallen our beloved land. There is a destiny for this country under God, and I believe it will continue to move forward through all trials and sorrows nd as- sassins’ blows, Rev. J. (. Semon said - He thought a mistake would be made if we thought the death-blow aimed at our beloved president meant merely his death. The death of one is a very small thing compared with the blow leveled at our country in striking down its chief executive. Rev. S. H. Cleland at the close of an eloquent prayer oftered at the con- clusion of the meeting said. And now, O God, we voice once again the hearts of the people of this city, this commonwealth and this na- i k that Thou mayest spare unto us this great, good and beloved man, and every sorrowing heart re- sponded Amen, — Resolutions of Respect.

His Own Account of It so far as He Can Recall, A young man, who, not many moons ago, left his home to seek his fortune in the glowing west, awoke froma late sluniber Monday morning with a consciousness that it wa |July. The thought aroused an in- | teresting train of recollections, but on looking ar ourth of und the bare interior of his bachelor quarters the young man felt lonesome, However, he was soon wide awake, thinking over the head, he dumped himselfoutupon the floor, pleasant task with the mercury near the summit of the tube. One of the first priciples, of the Fourth of July is undoubtedly a clean shirt. Now a clean shirt meant atransfer of collar buttons, studs and cuff buttons. Of course the laundress had put in an ex- tra supply of starch on account of the y, and therefore the task was propor- tionately difficult of accomplishment. Perseverance will, however, Dressing is by no means a accom- plish wonders, and after a desperate ten-minustes’ struggle, in which every muscle of the body was kept at a high tension and beads of sweat resembling acorns rolled down the young man’s face, the shirt was finally donned and the collar adjusted. The rest of the task was easy enough, but the young man finally reached the street in a state of dissatisfaction and ill-humor. The playing of the bands and discharge of fire-crackers had an unpleasant effect upon him. Tn such cases nature He sought it in pro- bably the most sensible way available to wit, a mint julep. This gave him a little courage and he soon had mastered breakfast. A cigar and a copy of TE Bek furnished him pleas- ant employment tor an hour and then the problem of how to spend the day become a serious one. A craves a reliet. public picnic, or even the programme of the driving park had no attraction for him. His desire was to pass the day quietly. After an early dinner another cigar and newspaper furnished considerable satisfaction. Then a jaunt was taken to a neighboring billiard hall. Nature continued to crave and the young man continued to gratify. At last the sun sunk beneath the western hills and the young man sal- lied forth. He went to several other places, At the theater he felt a disposition to go out between the acts. He final- ly yielded to the impulse and remained out, He went every place he knew of. It kept growing more gloomy out of doors. Undoubtedly night was com- inz on. He could see the lights start- ing up suddenly in the windows. He imagined he was looking for somehody and kept going in wherever he saw a licht. At every place a pleasing fragrance of mint julep, gin sling, gin tail, cte., assailed his nostrils. Tt began tolook at last as though Fourth | of July wasn't such a bad day afterall. | fire-crackers nolonger seemed so harsh to him. He readily imagined the street lamps were stars overhead and that the heayvens were brightening up. He continued his search for somebody he couldn’t find and the longer he searched the more hopeful he became, At last he met a policeman with whom he was acquainted and after a short conversation ascertained that it was time to go to bed. The officer was very particular to impress the fact with considerable emphasis. So he went to his room, In going there he thought it the queerest thing in the world that he had never before discovered how much easier it was to go upstairs than down. He entered his room sil ging pleasantly a song he had learned when he was a boy. It was rather hot but he didn't feel uncomfortable a bit. He threw up the window and looked out, The street lamps stringing out in lines seemed to dance and wheel about like’ a torchlight procession, in honor of the day, He was perfectly satisfied Satisfied was the only word to ex- press it. He did not know of any. thing he wanted, The whole universe seemed full of fullness and all around was roundness, As he leaned out he heard a faint plashing sound far below on the pavement. He concluded that he must have fallen intoa reverie, but anyhow he felt better. He drew back into the room and walked over to the big chair and sat down. Evidently the lady who cared for the room had moved the chair, for the young man in the darkness A spittoon instead of the seat. That was a small matter, however. He got out of his boots af- ter considerable scufil It would in his shirt. The rest of the clothing he distributed carefully around just where it happened to drop, and climbed over into bed, The mattress never scemed so springy nor the pil- low so soft. The spint of Fourth of July was all over him, and the young man slumbered. No troubled dreams came to him, but he slept long and soundly like a tired child. And he awoke so refreshed that he concluded he didn't need any breakfast. The only thing that troubles him is that so few of the events of the day made a lasting im- pression upon him.
