Dies of Complications Incident
to Old Arc.
. Cornelius Hughes died at his home
at 608 Church street at 3:30 o'clock
yesterday morning, aged 81 years, 1
month and 2 days. His death was
caused by a complication of ailments
Incident to old age.
Mr. Hughes had been a resident of
Dallas for more than fifty years, and
was one of the best known of the
older residents of Polk county. He
"was born in County Monoghan, Ire
land, April 15, 1834, and came to the
United States when a lad of 12 years.
After reaching manhood, hi; spent sev
eral years In the southwestern states.
He came to Polk county In 1864 and
resided in or near Dallas continuously
until his death. On October 30, 1866,
he married Miss Electa Osborne, a
sister of the Reverend John Osborne,
the pioneer Baptist preacher of Inde
pendence. The young couple lived for
a time on a homestead near Polk
Station, afterwards moving Into town.
They also owned a farm In the Liberty
neighborhood. During the greater
part of his residence in Dalla3 Mr.
Hughes followed the occupation of
shoemaker.
t He united with the Baptist church
early in life and remained a faithful
member until the end. He was one
of the early members of Jennings
Lodge, No. 9, A. F. & A. M., having re
ceived the degrees in 1870. He was

brother, Patrick Hughes, died In Dal
las in 1892. For the last many years
of his life, Mr. Hughes had lived with
Mr. and Mlrs. George Muscott, by
whom he was given every kindly care
and attention.
Mr. Hughes was one of the last of
the pioneer residents of Dallas and
will be greatly missed by all. His
friendly ways and sparkling Irish wit
made him a jovial companion, and he
had always a kindly word for his
neighbors, and especially for children,
by whom he was greatly beloved,

Dallas High School Team Will Cross
AVillons With Corvnllis Next
Saturday.
The Falls City baseball team was
defeated at Salem last Sunday by a
Bcore of 9 to 3. The game was a good
one, nevertheless. The Polk county
team was composed of Sampson, Sy-
ron, Fenton, Chapln, Hayes, Dewltt,
Snyder, Graham, Cobb, Meyers. Of
the game the Salem Journal has the
following:
By bunching hits when Falls City
bunched errors, Salem brought their
percentage up to 600 yesterday by de
feating the visitors by a 9 to 3 score.
Craig allowed but two hits and the
Salem batters pounded out 6. The
scoring started in the first for Salem
when, with two down, Humphries
walked, stole second, went to third on
a passed ball and scored on Jones'
bunt. Mackson -registered in the sec
ond inning when Bell doubled to cen
ter field.
In the fifth Falls City annexed one
run when Dewltt, the husky left field
er, dumped one in front of the plate
and Holman bounced It oft of the run
ner's head in throwing to first base
Dewltt Is to be congratulated on the
solidness of his head because the ball
bounced over the outfielder's head
and Dewltt made second. Schneider
hit to third and Graham hit to Mack
son, who was a second late In return
ing to Holman, and Dewltt registered.
Craig scored in the fifth on Jones'
hit to the outfield, and In the lucky
seventh Bell singled and Humphries
made first when the catcher missed a
third strike. Both scored when Cobb
threw the ball away. Not Until the
eighth did the Senators find out that
Falls City could not field btm'ts, and
in this inning two more runs were
added, when everybody dropped them
in front of the plate.
The score came near being 9 to 1
but in the first half of the ninth Sa
lem let down a little and Chapln hit
to center field for the second hit of
the day. He scored on Hayes' bunt,
and Hayes stole home while Meyers
was missing three strikes.

The Dallas Highs will Journey to
Corvallls next Saturday and there play
a return game with the highs of the
college town. The local team has
been strengthened somewhat since the
last contest with Corvallls, and a most

"The Story Beautiful" Is a classic
from the standpoint of art, oratory and
musical attainments, and yet, because
of its strong appeal to all classes who
will hear and see it, this number on
the coming assembly deserves to be
called a popular entertainment ,
Because of its uniqueness it Is diffi
cult to give in a few words an ade
quate conception of it.
One of the most brilliant, powerful
and dramatic speakers. Father Patrick
J. MacCorry of St Mary's cathedral,
Wichita, Kan., has woven a thrilling
lecture about a series of unusual views
and reproductions of famous paintings.
Many of the paintings shown are by
the master painters of the world and
are hidden far from the eyes of the
curious. How Father MacCorry se
cured them is not a part of this story,
but it may be said that there are few
who could secure permission to copy
them, and the coloring of the slides is
wonderfully well done. They are as
beautiful as the originals and far above
any slides commonly shown.
While the pictures are being shown
Father MacCorry gives his lecture.
No orator has a more musical tone or
more dramatic intonation, and while
he speaks a single ray of light reveals
his features against a black velvet
curtain, the speaker as well as the
picture being shown, which is an ex
clusive feature with this lecturer. At
times nothing can be heard but the
gentle music of the piano, and this
may be followed with the rich tones of
that great baritone, H. Ruthven Mac
Donald of Toronto, who presents se
lections from oratorios and other classic
music while the audience remains un
der the spell of this remarkable set
ting. Four people are required to present
this admirably combined lecture, re
cital and showing of famous pictures,
and those who attend will leave with
the sensation that they have visited
some great cathedral, having been
thoroughly satisfied in a long cherish
ed desire.

List of Chautauqua Talent Shows
Guarantee of Fine Program.
Cost Is Nominal.
Look over the following list of those
who will appear here under auspices of
the summer Chautauqua and see if
there is a single one whom you would
not be much Interested in hearing if
your time will permit you to attend
each session.
In the way of music there are Cirlcil-
lo and his great Italian band. This
organization is playing a return en
gagement as it covered the western
Chautnuquas last season, and the de
mand for its return was so univer
sal that the 'bureau engaged it to
come back in 1015 with a larger band,
a larger number of soloists, and inci
dentally Clriclllo gets considerably
more money. It is said.
There are the Saxony Opera Singers,
who present In costume grand and
light opera sung In English. The Schu
mann Quintet playing strings, is the
highest priced organization of its class
In the United States, and the "II Tro
vntore" Grand Opera Singers are anoth
er stellar attraction. II. Kuthven Mac
Donald and his wife are other addi
tions to the musical program, and the
Alpine Yodlers, consisting of seven peo
ple, will draw a big crowd.
The following are the lecturers: Colo
nel George W. Bnln of Kentucky, no

Mrs. A. C. Zehner, NelBon S. Darling.
The above does not take into consid
eration the big entertainment of the

10 cents per entertainment Thats
some bargain 1
