Mr. Jameson bought this land twenty years ago for $0,000. Thus it will be seen that the profits received by the increase in the value of land amounts to nearly $1,000 a year for the full time the family have lived on the land besides a good living and considerable besides. , From the Herald.

Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Rose arrived last Friday evening from Pierce county to spend a week with their many Union relatives and friends.

Mr. and Mrs. William Frans arrived home last Friday from a few weeks visit in Colorado.

There is some talk of getting up a lecture course for the benefit of the school library. , Let's have it. . W. D.Wheeler, democratic candi date for county treasurer, was looking after his political fences in this part of the county Wednesday. A ten pound girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Tyson yesterday. Roan says he now feels big enough to beat anybody in the town bowling. The many friends of Pearl Mapes will be sorry to hear that he is lying very low witn typnoid rever at a hos pital in not Springs. When first taken sick he was sent there by the railroad company for which he is working, and one evening when the nurse left the room for a little while he got up and in his delirium of fever dressed him self and wandered away. His father offered $100 reward for anyone finding him, and the whole country therea bouts was thoroughly searched.' but not until three dys and three nights had passed was he found. He went to a farmer's house thirteen miles from Hot Springs and asked for a drink. He was stilt out of his head, was without shoes or hat and his feet were badly swollen, showing that he had walked a considerable distance. The farmer brought him to not Springs and be was returned to the hospital where the best medical aid and nursing will be given him. Mr. and Mrs. Mapes were n0rly distracted until he was found, ntl ; their many friends here hope Pearl may speedily regain bis health. One man with a broken foot, ahorse badly cut and two buggies badly de molished was the result of a runaway la little ways west or town sunaay night. As near as we can learn the particulars are as follows: Clarence Ohm was returning home from church and his buggy was run into by that of Gus Brockhoge. It is said a couple of teams were behind Gus and Clarence racing, and that Gus .attempted to drive out to the side of the road to get out of their way, but did not get far enough to miss Clarence's buggy. The buggies were badly wrecked, both Clar ence and Gus being thrown out. The former was uninjured beyond a few bruises, but Gus has a broken foot as a memento of the occasion. Clarence's horse ran away and was not found un til next day. It is badly cut and it is said; It may be found necessary to kill it. It is also said that those who caused the accident by running their horses never took the trouble to drive back and see what damage had been done This racimr of horses on the public highway, especially at night, is some- thing that penalty. should be given a severe From the Register. Miss Ruth Murdoch Is very much better this, Thursday, noon. County Superintendent C. S. Wort man visited the school Friday. Haney Barnett from Oklahoma was in town Friday and Saturday. He is not in love with Oklahoma by any means. Stand up for Nebraska. Our pushing, progressive and Indus- trious parson, the Rev. ' Reiser, has crone to work and by himself has fenced the parsonage grounds. This is a good example for a dozen lazy parsons we have had here. Uncle, Jimmie Warden was down town Monday, the first time for three years. He held quite a levee with his old friends, as all were glad to see him after his long absence from ourstreets. He can walk now only with the assist ance of a cane. Our school bell is badly cracked and the frame is broken. When it is time for school the principal sends a boy or two up into the belfry to pound the old thing to call the scholars in. The noise is doleful and sounds like a jiin mycongehack at a Chinese funeral. Why can't we have a good bell? George Hansen, sr., was in town Fri day and says he feels tiptop. For a few years be was ailing and always felt un well, but lately he has been feeling quite well again, all of which his friends are glad to see. Mr. Hansen is one of the best citizens Nebraska ever had, and may he live to greet us many years yet. . . V . W. D. Wheeler, the democratic can didate for county treasurer, was in town Tuesday and gave the Register office a friendly call. He did not talk any politics, evidently thinking the editor could make up his own mind how to vote or that he was too big a fool to waste time talking to. What ever be may think of us, Billie is a good fellow just the same, and the county funds will be safe in his hands if he is elected. if. Greenwood From the Enterprise.

May field and son, Lewis, went to Oklahoma Tuesday to be ab sent about two weeks; Fred Tapper Is down with typhoid fever. Dr. Thomas, the attending I physician, reports him getting Along as well as could be expected. Charley Gaebcl's hog sale drew out a good bunch of candidates for county offices, but In looking over the sales we find tbey were not there after swine, as none of them bought. Among those who were lined up around the sale ring were C. S." Wortman, Joe Tighe, Ja cob Tritsch and H. D. Travis, demo crats; and T. F. Wiles and Will Strelght, republicans. It Is quite evi dent that they were in search of a dif ferent breed of swine than those of fered by Mr. Gaebel. At the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. John Koop, in this city, on Wed nesday, October 7, occurred the mar riage of Mr. Jacob Meier of Weeping Water and Miss Caroline E. Flamme of Berlin, Rev. Jung of the German Lutheran church officiating. The wed ding was a quiet affair, only relatives of the contracting parties being pres ent. After , the wedding supper the bride and groom drove to Plattsmouth and from there took the train for Om aha, from where they will proceed east on their wedding tour. They will be at home to their friends in Weeping Water after November 1. Again the Courier is called upon to announce the death of one of Louis- ville'STpioneer citizens, Mr. B. W.Teo- dorski having died of a com plication of diseases at his home in this city after an illness of long duration, on Friday, October 2, 1903.

What is the matter with your My nard correspondent? Are those pesty flies still biting him? Eight Mile Grove is now booming. I will tell you about the joke on a farm er who recently laid the foundation for a new house for Joe Mesina. After the wall was , com pie ted Mr. Mesina laid boards on the wall, and when the mason returned next morning, he ask ed him what his reasons were for put ting the boards as he did. Mr. Mesina replied: "I put them on so as to keep the sun from warping." Of course this made the mason feel quite cheap, but it really needed it. Though the mason swore the wall was was plum. With morter and trowel he made things hum. The sun shone brieht with a terrible heat, And raised the wall above his feet. A Love Letter.
