A Pleasant Day.
Mrs. I. M. Davis, of Wellington, Colo.,

Nature Confused
Wm. Shrader from near Rapid City,
S. D., was visiting friends in Murray
last Friday. He came in from Omaha
on the noon train. Under his arm he
carried something loosely wrapped in an
old newspaper.
"Have something here to show you, "
he said addressing some of his friends
as he placed an object about two feet
in length and of considerable weight
upon the counter.
Each expected a display of some min
eral from the Black Hills, but started
back in surprise as the object was ex
posed to view. A model in alabastor
whiteness and the perfect form of the
torso of Venus of Melos lay partly un
covered with the paper. The beautiful
curves and the rounded form were sur
prisingly human.
"Where did you get this?" was asked
in unison.
"Raised it," was the reply.
"Raised it!" all exclaimed.
"Yes, raisedit," he repeated. "Raised
it in South Dacota," here he replaced
the statue upon its truncated limbs.
"Its nothing but a rutabaga grown in
the ground,"' he further explained and
at the same time exposing some of the
tops for evidence.
An exclamation and gasp of surprise
came from the spectators as they
viewed this wonderful curiosity, a freak
of nature a vegetable in human form.
Closing Out
I have decided to close out my entire
line of day goods,' boots and shoes and
all furnishings just as soon as possible,
and discontinue carrying these lines of
goods, and place in a larger line of
staple and fancy groceries. In order to
do tnis I will make some of the lowest
prices ever, offered in Murray on this
line of goods as long as the present
stock lasts. Everything will be sold at
or even below first cost. Call in and
let us prove this to you.

BIG DALL GAH
N XT SATURDAY
One of the Most Interesting
Games of the Season.
It will be remembered that two ball
games were played at the ball park on
Labor Pay, one in the forenoon and one
in the afternoon. The one in the fore
noon was a contest between the Murray
and Cedar Creek teams. The contest
proved a very interesting one,"' and re
suited in a victory for Cedar Creek by
a score of 6 to 2. The game was one of
the best and most interesting that has
been played at the park this season, and
created considerable comment among
those who witnessed same.
Not content with the result of this
game, and the Murray boys believing
that they can defeat the victorious club
of Labor Day, they have concluded to
try it over again, and Saturday after
noon, September 14, is the date fixed
for the same. The lovers of the game
may confidently expect a most interest
ing game and a large crowd. The game
will be called promptly at 2:30 at the
ball park in Plattsmouth.
Horse Killed in Runaway
Tuesday evening as Frank Boedeker
and his mother were diving home from
town with .their fine driving team,
when near Zach Shrader's one single
tree bolt broke and let the single tree
down on the horses heels. This fright
ened the horse and he started to kick,
barely missing Frank and his mother.
In some way the buggy turned over
and the horses breaking loose from the
buggy started to run. In trying to
turn the corner that leads onto a
bi'idge one hoarse struck the heavy oak
railing, cutting its throat and breaking
into its chest, from the effects of which
it died in about an hour. It was a very
fortunate escape for Frank and his
mother, but it occasioned the loss of a
horse that was prized by Frank's
father. Nehawka Register.
Wouldn't Le! Him Go
Says the Lincoln Journal, "When
Julius Deitrich resigned his position as
assistant to the superintendent of mo
tive power of the Burlington lines west
of the river, it was supposed that he
would devote his energy in the future
to looking after his personal business.
The Burlington, however, was not will
ing to lose so good a man so he was in
duced to take back his former position,
master mechanic of the Lincoln division.
This enables him to remain in the city
most of the time while the other posi
tion required him to spend much of his
time on the road."
New Order to Agents
An order has ben issued from head
quarters to agents of the Burlington to
become effective September loth mak
ing quite a invovation in the handling
of baggage. It is calculated to do
away with the practice of getting bag
gage checks over the road without
tickets and stop the handling of excess
baggage without pay. Each baggage
man is to have scales in his car and
will weigh and check over the pieces,
attaining C. O. D. checks to the bag
gage in all cases where it does not
come to the requirments. Then if these
are not paid by the passenger at the
destination, the agent checking at the
place of starting will have to pay the
deficit. Such agent must also fill a new
form of check that will show facts rel
ative to the tickets, number of pass
engers, etc.
Moving Pictures at the Parmele.
W. J. West of the Lyric at Freemont
has arranged to put on moving pictures
at the Parmele for the balance of the
season. The Lyric has a reputation of
showing the finest pictures any where
in the west and Mr. West promises as
good at the Parmele. The most ad
vanced type of machine is being in
stalled today and an 18 foot picture will
be produced. Six thousand feet of pic
tures will be shown each week, with
two changes per week Monday and
Thursday for 20c. More for the money
than elsewtiere. The price of admis
sion will be 10c only, for any seat in the
house.
Watches Stolen.
Stolen from my residence, within the
last two weeks, two gold watchss and
chains, one a lady's and one a gentle
man's, both hunting cases. The gen
tleman's watch bears the initials
engraved, H. B. or H. F. B., over the
back, while on the inside, Tean to
Henry, Dec. 18, 1903. The lady's watch
bears the initials, C. A., on the outside.
A liberal reward will be given for re
turning the watches to me, the owner.

nn EXTRA SESSIOn
Railroad Action May Result in
Calling Legislature
together
The action of the railroads in apply
ing to and securing from the federal
court a restraining order to prevent
the railway commission from promul
geting new grain rates, was the princi
pal topic of discussion at the state house
this morning and a number of confer
ences of officials were held for the pur
pose of considering what course could be
pursued under the circumstances, says
the Lincoln News. Attorney General
Thompson and the members of the rail
way commission held a consultation,
while Senator Aldrich called on Gover
nor Sheldon and was engaged in con
versation with him for some time.
It was the general opinion among the
officials that there was no necessity in
securing the restraining order at the
present time., ,The. commission -would
be powerless to put into effect any rate
until thirty days notice had been given,
and the roads might have applied for
the act after such notice had been
served.
There is little doubt in the minds of
the people at the state house, that
Governor Sheldon will call a special ses
sion of the legislature should develop
ments, in the opinion warrent such act
ion. If the railroads succeed in tieing
up the railway commission so that it is
powerless to promulgate and inforce or
ders, those who know the attitude of
the governor, say that the legislature
will at once be conveyed in extraordi
nary session. This body cannot be en
joined and can be depended upon to do
that which the people are now demand
ing of the commission and which it is
attempting to do.
