Cyclone Stories. Wc were cnttcised Saturday for calling the storm a cyclone, and informed that a cyclone was a straight wind and this was a tornado. The dictionary says a tornado is a whirling wind of short duration and narrow in width, while a cyclone is a whirl wind of extended circuit. When we were running for a cave we thought the storm certainly cov ed a large territory, and so we will continue to call it a cyclone. When Frank Titus saw the storm approaching he started out in search of a cave, and wasn't very slow in going either. He ran northwest and didn't stop for fences or anything else all he was looking for was a hole in the ground. They tell that he scared up a jack rabbit which started to run ahead of him when Jimmy yelled: "Get out of the way and give a fellow a chance that can run." Charley Zook' headed him off at his place, two blocks from the postoflice, and got him into the cave, or r,o tell ing where he would have run to. C. H. Lindig got Mrs. V. P. Peabody and the two Harris boys with himself in his cave, and so much rubbish and lumber blew onto the door he couldn't get out until assistance came. The wind blew a tire off a wagon belonging to F. L. Wood ward and hung it on a broken limb of a tree several feet from the ground. A piece of blue grass stem was driven into a telephone pole for an inch, and pieces of grass and hay were driven into the siding of the M. E. parsonage. The stem of a green leaf was driven through a piece of shin gle. The carriage house, chicken coop and other outbuildings in the rear of Mrs. Hill's millinery establishment were swept away but the store building was not hurt. An ash tree in front of Mar shall Webb's home had the bark loosened entirely around it for several feet from the ground. The tree shows no signs of being twisted or bent. Mrs. Mary Ellen Keel, wife of ! Chas. Keel, postmaster of Howe, died Monday morning. She had been in a critical condition from an attack of pneumonia but was recovering and was thought to be out of danger. Monday morn ing she had an acute attack of neuralgia of the heart and died in a few moments. She was the daughter of Geo. Bohl and was 32 years of age. The funeral ser vices, conducted by Rev, G. W. Ayers, were held at Howe Tues day. The remains were taken to Lincoln for burial. Mary Ellen Bohl was born Sep tember 23, 1875, in Lancaster county, Nebr. She was converted ten years ago, and united with the German Methodist church, and lived in the faith to the close of her life. She was married to C. A. Keel March 16, 1903. She died May 18, 1908, aged 32 years, 8 months and 25 days. She died in the triumph of the christian's faith. Those who knew her, knew her to love her. Burl Curtis died at the hospital for the insane at Hastings Mon day morning. He had been an inmate of the asylum for a num ber of years, his mental trouble being caused by a sunstroke when a young man. His father left a good farm for his support. Th3 funeral services were held at Stella Wednesday, the burial bting at Prairie Union cemetery. Happenings in Brownville Mrs. E. II. Gould is on the sick list this week. j Old Mrs. Parker living west of town died Tuesday morning. j Many from this place have been to Nemaha since the cyclone. James Daugherty of Johnson visited his parents a few days. J. Ackerman and family were seen on our streets the first of the week. Misses Hazel Hook and Nina McComas were passengers to Au burn Thursday. Grandpa Lester visited with his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Sappat Nemaha last week. Mrs. Fraker and Marion Baker and wife crossed the river Mon day to attend a funeral. Miss Hanks from Peru visited her sister, Miss Mande, and at tended the program Friday ev ening. Miss Maggie McKinney, who has been teaching in Stella the past year, returned home Monday evening. The pupils in Misses Hanks' and Steuteville's rooms gave a very interesting program in the Christian church last Friday ev ening. I Rev. J. T. Smith preached the Baccalaureate sermon last Sun . day evening. In spite of the rain, I mud and the long distance some had to come, the graduates were all present. I Mrs. P. Cook and Misses Elsie Roberts and Alice Sherbourne drove to Auburn Friday. Mrs. i Cook returned on the afternoon .train, and the others were accom I panied home by Miss Helen Sher bourne. Mr. Perkins had a large tree cut out of Mrs. Musselman'syard last week. He had no idea the tree was so tall as it proved to ue. in it s lau it broke two or three telephone poles on the op posite side of the road, besides blocking the road nearly a day. As yet no one. can use their tele phones. Ephriam Musselman was born in Canada, British America, April 15, 1835 and died May 14, 1908, aged 73 years, and 29 days. He was married to Mary Jane Perkins in Dixon, 111., October 17, 1855. During the turbulent times of the Rebellion they lived in Kan sas. On account of Indian diffi culties they moved back east and for a time they were in the gro cery business in Bell Plain, Iowa. Some time after they took up their abode in Kansas, on a farm near Lawrence, where they spent some six years. Next we find them keeping a hotel in Howell, Michigan. In 1896 they came to Nebraska and formed a partner ship with J. W. Perkins in gen eral merchandise in Wahoo, Neb. In 1883 we find them engaged in farming and fruit raising in the state of Oregon. Five years ago they came to Brownville, and once more en gaged in general business. About fifteen years ago Broth er Musselman had a stroke of paralysis and since that- time he has been a patient sufferer. His last sickness was of short dur ation and the finger of God touched him and he fell asleep. Brother Musselman was a man of strict business integrity. He had great faith in men being honest; he expected those with whom he did business to be hon est also. In his life he showed the fruits of Christianity. His hands were open to the poor. May it not be said of him in the language of the Master: "Ye did it unto me. ' ' 1 Like Nicodemus, a sort of a se-' cret disciple of Jesus; yet one whose love of friends and home were intense. Two precious children for a time brightened their home. The baby girl, and some years after the boy, who had grown to man hood, left for Homeland, where they waited for the coming of him who had been a most affec tionate father. Sister Musselman's loss is great for our brother was an ideal hus band. All the relatives and friends will miss him. "Ileal wwiry heart From all thy nllurit itriufa and ovcret pnlriH, Thy !irofltluHH restrain and lonstlnst vain, WlBdom and love, have ordered all the !aHt. All Bhnll be hlcHscdnemi und lischtat last. Cast off the enrea that hnve bo lonst oppressed; Itest Bwcetly rest." "Say, why should friendship strlcvo for those Who safely nrrive on Canaan's shore? Released from all their hurtful foes. They arc not lost, but stone before. How many painful days on earth Their faintlinst splrltH numleml o'er? Now they enjoy a heavenly birth; They are not lost, but stone before. Building is going on in Nema ha as fast as possible under the circumstances. Much of the wreckage caused by the cyclone has been cleared away, but enough is left yet. The Edwards & Bradford Lum ber Co. have their large store building, 40x70 feet, ready for occupying except for the front and the completion of the shelv ing. They have remodled it and made a better building than be fore. It will be in one building, with roof sloping from front, with a good glass front. The space occupied by Geo. Hartvvig for living rooms will be used for the store. Earle Gilbert has the rear end of his store room enclosed, and will soon be all right again. E. H. Knapp has his house back on the foundation and is living in it. Dr. Frazier had his office put back to its place last week and is expecting a full stock of medi cines daily. The wrecking crew is at work replacing the Methodist parson age on its foundation. Carpenters will then begin repairing it. V. P. Peabody has a new barn to replace the one blown down. Marshall Webb has his house back in place. Peter Kerker has his meat market repaired. N. C. Jarvis has so far done nothing toward his wrecked store building. He talks of repairing the front forty feet. The old storage building owned and used by Peter Kerker, south of the restaurant has been cleared away. Rumbaugh's barber shop has been cleared away. Josh Matney will begin to re build his residence at once. Mrs. Theo. Hill will not re build the house south of the lum ber yard. Nothing has yet been done to the three houses on the hill W. E. Smiley's, Elmer E. Allen's and Mrs. Scott's. The Masons had the front of their hall enclosed last week. F. L. Woodward has had the front of the drug store building repaired. Much more would have been accomplished if carpenters could have been had. . Weak women should try Dr. Shoop's Night cure. These soothing, healing, antiseptic suppositories go direct to the seat of these weaknesses. My book ''No. 4 For Women" contains many valuable hints to women, and it is free. Ask Dr. Shoop, Hacinc, Wis. to mail it. Ask the Doctor in strictest confidence, any question you wish answered. Dr. Shoop's night Cure is sold by Dr. W. W. Keeling. Rev. Myers of Auburn writes' that some people in that town have the impression that the subscription being raised by the Methodist people of Nemaha is to reimburse Rev. Ayers for his losses in the cyclone. This is not the case. Every cent raised goes for repairing the parsonage and rebuilding the barn. The sub scription paper so states, and the object was also explained by Rev. Ayers, Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Brown to every person who was spoken to about it. We do not see how there could be any misunderstanding. In less than two years the Methodist people, assisted by their friends, have built an $1800 parsonage and a $200 barn, and put in a $75 lighting plant, all paid for. The cyclone totally wrecked the barn and damaged the parsonage probably at least $400 worth. Unfortunately no tornado insurance was held. As stated above, money is being raised to rebuild the barn and repair the parsonage. "Health Coffee" is really the closest coffee imitation ever yet produced. This clever coffee substitute was recently produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. Not a grain of real coffee in it either Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee is made from pure toasted grains, with malt nuts, etc. Really it would fool an ex pertwho might drink it, for coffee. No 20 or 30 minutes tedious boiling. 'Made in a minute" says the doctor. Sold by all dealers.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the spring or early summer, they call it "Spring Fever." But there is no fever usually. It is the after effects of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all of these depressing symp toms. The Restorative of course won't bring you back to full health in a day or two, but it will do enough in 48 hours to satisfy you that the remedy is reaching that "tired spot." Druggists overywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a failing appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambitiou. Test it a few days and be convinced. Dr. W. W. Keeling.
