Utah, May 28, 1904. TWICE-A-WEEK VoIume Number. 59 DEATH Of Peter Affleck Thursday Morning; Paralysis. Mr. Peter Affleck, an elderly gentleman of Logan, well-known here and over the county, Is dead, Having passed awav at 0:10 a.

Friday, May Mr. AUIock was a machinist by trade and on Thursday morning went to his shop as usual. The old gentleman did not put In an appearance at noon hour as promptly as was his usual custom, and one of the children -was sent to look for him, but did not llnd any trace of him. A little grandson theu went to the machine shop and llndlng the door shut, but with IW' the key on tho outside, pushed open 7 the aud there found his grand father on the Jloor. lie gave the alarm and thc.oldcr people who went to the shop found that Mr.

Aflleck had suffered a paralytic stroke, his entire right side being affected. The almost lifeless body was conveyed to tlte home of relatives, and -though every attention was given, Mr. Affleck's soul took Its flight as stated Since the death of his wife a few months ago, Mr. Aflleck has been and despondent, and it Is doubtful If life held much charm for him. He was known as a kindly, conscientious gentleman and a skilled workman.

The funeral services will be held at "the Tabernacle Sunday at noon. Ladies Invited. The management of the Llnde-Lew-1s wrestling match at the Thatcher Opera House next Tuesday evening deslro It understood that the entertainment is of such a character that ladies may attend without fear of witnessing anything that could shock their sensibilities. The match is to Ijq a clean-cut exhibition of physlclal prowess and agility, free of everything that could be objectionable. Ladles who admhe sport of this character, and those who have a desire to witness such a contest as a novelty need have no hesitancy about attending.

The Tjig event comes oil at and four preliminaries will entertain the audl--ence while waiting for this. PASTEL EXHIBIT At Woodruff School Something Exceptionally Good. The exhibit of pastel work at the Woodruff school Thursday was highly creditable to tho school, the pupil artists and Miss Cassldy, principal and Instructress. Thirty large pieces of crayon work framed and displayed to the greatest advantage, and the walls hung with other work In black and white made the room most attractive. Tho woik could probably be criticised by an cxpeit, but considering that the artists are but eighth grade pupils and did the work with but little help on the part of Miss Cassldy, It cor-talnlylsexceptlonal beyond criticism.

Scenes In which naturo was the subject were truly charming, the vivid yet harmoniously blended coloring giving an effect that It seems Impossible young artists should get. In their quiet, serene beauty they appealed to the lover of nature very strongly and many were tho words of highest commendation and pleasure. Those who had exhibits of this kind were Zettle Kicks, Ulanche Benson, Gladys Davis, Olive Cressal, Helen Groesbeck, Pearl Stratford, Emma Grlftln, Zettle Turner, Julie Hendricks, Winnie Cole, Inez Thaln, Gertrude Smith. Scenes in which the sea and shore furnished the subject were presented by Florence Machen, Nevova Haws, Joseph Otte, Myrtle Smith and Julie Hendricks. One of thcse.a lighthouse scene, and that of Joseph Otte, a full-rigged ship, are of exceptional merit.

Otte Is said to have extraordinary artistic ability. Animal life was pictured by Julie Hendricks, Carl Peterson and Gus-tave Fjelstrom, the latter's work probably being the best in the exhibit. He presented two pictures, one of four the other two dogs. Edna Hrossard had two pictures In the exhibit, one of an overturned basket of peaches and another of a lone frontlcismau on a worn out pony. Tills latter work was best for the scope of the work undertaken.

Veda Parkinson had a Miry nice of old mill. All this work was done by the pupils while at home, under the instruction of Miss Cassldy, and with few exceptions the work was finished by them ready for exhibit. THE GREAT DAY June 1st, To be Greater Than anybody Anticipated. Committees to be congratulated. Preparations for June 1st go merrily on, and predictions made heretofore arc coming true In all their fullness, Even now business houses aic getting out their colors, iloats are being constructed, ad eports from the county and the Traveling Men lead to the belief that the number of people in Logan June 1st will exceed the stated on circulars.

Traveling men sav that business men all through this valley Intend closing up their houses that day in order to come to Logan, In facttnat it would be useless for them to remain In the outside towns trying to do business, for kvkkyiiody Is coming. This Is not merely the bubbling enthusiasm of the commercials, but a statement of facts. They say they never ran across such universal enthusiasm. The committees hero In Logan are now getting In some of their best work and the success with which they are meeting removes any doubt of the ultimate glory and stupendous success of the occasion from start to finish. Logan will be bunting and nothing but bunting, and that parade will be a cracker-Jack.

The big ball game is going to be a keal game, as the Commercials say, and will be a struggle unto death. The ball In that magnificent pavilion will be one of the brightest and happiest affairs ever arranged for In Logan. The pavilion Is a thing of beauty within itself, but will be greatly enhanced In appearance by gorgeous decorations In way of electric lights and bunting. Twelve musicians have been engaged to play until 2 a. and punch Is to Mow as free as water.

The Finance aud Hall committees did such superb work In. selling tickets to the big dance that they have already secured $000. This means from six to twelve hundred dancers of course, a crowd which could not be accommodated on any floor in the Slate. The committees, not to be outdone in their success, havesecured the Palace Hall for the overflow. The Palace Is known as one of thu best halls in the State and this but adds another con venience and bleasure for tho guests.

All tickets are good for both pavilion and Palace Hall. Asa whole June 1st Is to be the biggest day Logan and Cache county ever experienced. SILK HAT PARADE. What's the matter with a grand "Silk Hat DIvislon'Tor the big parade on Wednesday, June 1st. It Is estimated that tlieio are hundreds, possibly thousands, of silk tiles laid on the shelves In this county.

These hats have been worn with gicat pleasure and pride by men on missions In various paits of this country and tho Old World. Why should the gentlemen who wore them elsewhere lo ashamed to wear them In Logan There Is nothing more Imposing than a sllk-tllcd, frock-coated marching club, and If the gcntleiren of Cache county who possess these articles of apparel will get together and form apartofthisparado they will prove no Inconspicuous feature aud will have no end of fun out of It. Tiik Rkpuumuan respectfully moves and seconds the motion that Mr. John A. Hcndrlckson's silk tile and auburn (V) chin adornment head all the rest.

All In favor raise their hands. and ten thousand others. IJIG PEOPLE COMING. The latest the very latest In regard to the big time here June 1st, Is that the city of Logan will have the honor and pleasure of entertaining on that day the biggest and most notorious bunch of scrappers on earth-the Salt Lake City council, and a like body from Ogden. Mayor Robinson sent down an Invitation a few days ago and It Is indeed most giatlfylug to know that these most distinguished gentlemen have concluded to be our guests on the biggest day that Cache ever knew.

What will wo do with them? Show 'em such a time that Salt Lake city and Ogden will seem as dead as Mlllvllle for months (Continued on last page) WILL IT RAIN On June 1st?
