conveyed a number of members of

that city to llershey on Friday

they assisted in the initiation of a
couple of new members into the
order at that place. After the
ceremonies were over a bountiful
supper was spread to which all did
ample justice. i lie guests re
turned to their respective homes
highly tinted over the manner in
which they were entertained.
Bert Fletcher formerly a resident
of this yicinitv, but who is at the
present time helling patent medt
cines from a wagon throughout
this section of the country, was a
guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Tro
villo recently.

The patrons of the Nichols cream
ery are being paid tor their March
cream today.
Epiphany (he Mecca.
Probably no town of its size in
the west has sent as many patients
to Father Krocger, the healer at
Epiphany, R. B , as has North
Piatt . The number up to date Is
not far short of one hundred. One
incentive to jour ay to that Mecca
is the apparent wondeiful change
wrought upn Pat Norria, who
when lit let t here was about as
near a corpse as a man can be and
still breathe, and who is' now in a
condition that warrants hi return
to his duties as engineer. Another
incentive is the extremely low
prices charged by Father Kroegcr,
whose fee for examination and pre
scriptions is from three to five dol
lars. And then again the fact that
transportation can be secured bb
far as Omaha by many is another
consideration. Many of those who
have made the trip have chronic
diseases, while others have com
plaints ranging from a little gas on
the stomach to threatened attacks
of appendicitis. We all have phy
sical trouble more or less severe,
the only dtlFomiec is that some of
us magnify our troubles and allow
ourselves to get more or less in a
state verging on hypochon
dria, while ollais bear their com
plaints with pal ie ii ce and do not
worry. The former do not rest
eay until they visit home new
found healer, and the mere examin
ation breaks the power of hypo
cnoudria ami the patient would
naturally improve even if no medi
cines were taken.
In this connection, stories we
don't vouch lor their truthfulness
are told ot two North Platte peo
ple. One was a child who was
somewhat weak and puny and after
examination Father Krocger told
the father that any old women in
North Platte could have diagnosed
the boy s complaint it-was worms
ind twenty-five cents worth of med
icine would cure him. The other
tory was that of a woman who
thought she had about all the ills
mankind was heir to. Father
Kroeger examined her and told her
to return to North Platte and take
more exercise in the shape ot work
laziuets was one of her chief
troubles.
Till-: TuinuNi: would not for the
world, howeyer, discourage any
one lrom making a trip to
Qpiphany. If you feel badly, go.
The trip will do you good, even if
Father Kroeger can not help you.
