A Mexican at ScottsblufT undertook to discipline his wife, and with the aid of a red hot noker accomplished his purpose. The court fined him all of S5 and read him a severe lecture. If he had jfouged out her eye or chewed off her ears, the court would undoubt edly have ordered the culprit a wrist slapped, and read him a cnapter irom the B;ble. We can't be too severe with these cheap foreign laborers. A sate in Spartanburg, S. C, say3 there may be some objection to bobbed hair, but it uoesn t eaten on a man s coat button. The Passing Show.

The friend knew nothing about the gentle art, but was set up with all the necessary tackle, and a nice, com fortable seat on the bank. The experienced hand started fishing a few yards higher up the stream. Presently the novice said: "mow much do those red things cost? "I suppose you mean the float 7 so id the angler. "That only costs about twopence." 'Well, 1 owe you twopence," saiu the novice. "The one you lent me has sunk." Usual Matinee Daily, 2:30 Nebraska News Notes Hog Cholera Spreading. NORFOLK Hoir cholera has brok en out in many parts of northern and western Nebraska, according to worn received by County Agent Stewart from state veterinarians who have iust returned from the infested dis tricts, lhe early reports from inese officials indicate that many animals are dead or are suffering from the dis ease. It is feared that the disease is spreading from many herds. In Madi son county according to Mr. Stewart, cholera has begun to show serious in dications. Seven hoars on the I. J King farm near Newman Grove have died from the disease. These hogs were in a herd of 10. One boar purchased from the King herd is believed to have infetced the herd on the Kauf man farm.

Mavhe he's fl conscientious cuss, and couldn't stand to play his part in some of those punk movies unless ne were in such a maudlin condition that he didn't know what he was doinir.

"Why, so they do, don't they?" re plied the city boy, glancing at the herd. Then, after gazing long and earnestly, he ejaculated: "But, by George! I see something you've never noticed. Their tails are all in the opposite direction!" - If they don't hurry up with the Ar buckle trial, some of us will begin to believe the prosecutor who feared that moneyed friends of the accused would attempt bribery knew what he was talking about. Grand Island Soldiers' Home. LINCOLN Governor McKelvie is favorable to the plan of having the United States government take over the state soldiers home at Grand Is land and convert it into a national hospital for sick and disabled ex-service men. He has written a letter to Congressman W. E. Andrews at Wash ington, expresing his approval of the project and tendering his assistance and co-operation toward its realiza tion. The governor received a call sev eral days ago from a delegation of Grand Island citizens who presented the matter to him. He assured them that he would be glad to recommend the proposition to the next legislature if. it assumes some tangible form in the meantime. Mr. McKelvie is not prepared to Kay on just what terms he would be willing to have the soldiers' home turned over to the federal government. The suite owns half a million dollars' worth of property there, and some rcmuner ition might be expected for it. However, the cost of maintenance is Slz.i.OO!) a year, and if this were assumed by the united Mates it would be conquered zX least partial compensation. As the number of civil war survivors s rapidly diminishing, the need i f two state soldiers' homes will disappear within a few years at most, the gover nor thinks, -lhe Mil font home will probably be large enough to acc'immo- date all the civil war veterans left at both institutions in the near future. With this fact in mind, Congress man Andrews is working on the p'an to convert the Grand Island institution nto a federal hospital for men who served in the world war. Should that be done, it will be considerably en larged and equipped with all modern hospital facilities. There is no such institution now maintained by the United States be tween the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains, north or the Mason and Dixon line. Grand Island would be a central point for Nebraska and half a dozen surrounding states. Automobile, wheels are now ling, made of solid wood, just as were the wheels of mankind's first cart.
