It also eliminates clutch, universal joints and bevel gear drive. There are just two principal work ing units. The extreme simplicity carries with it great economy. The Cartercar glides away like an aeroplane, without a sound or a jar. Slipping Gear Transmission The old-tashioned sliding gear trans mission is extravagant in construction, ex pensive m maintenance and untrustworthy in performance. It limits its user gener ally to three torward speeds, costs as much for lubrication, with the necessary clutch and univeisal joints, as the entire up-keep of "the Cartercar Friction Drive, and is much more noisy.

D There was a "hot, time" on the Joe Hrandt farm, about, M miles soulhwesl of town, last l-'riday evening, when the house caught tire and was completely destroyed. IL was about Oi.'fO when Mr. Hrandl, who was out lo the barn yard, discovered the lire, which had then reached a stage beyond control. Fortunately there was but little of household goods in the building, as Mr. l'.ramfl. had moved only a part of them lo the place, intending lo bring Ihe re mainder and his family in a short lime. The tin; is supposed to have originated from a defective Hue, as there appears no other way in which it could have started. The ldae was plainly visible to people here in town. The place is Ihe one that was owned by John Nichols until recently, when it was purchased by Mr. Hrandt. There was some insurance on the house, but not sufficient, to make good the loss. Union Ledger. The old Missouri river last night, took on an additional raise of 1 and i-10 inches, making a total of several feet since Thurs day and the current is very swift and turbulent. There has been ad ditional damage at, the riprap across the river, but the current there is very swift and sets in close to the bank, making it necessary to maintain a constant watch on the river lo prevent, il, making new inroads on Ihe work of I be railroad at that point. The heavy rains of the last few days through Ibis section have brought much water into the river and a rise of seven feet was reported at Pierre, S. D., Thursday, which will greatly increase the amount of the rise when it. reaches here. Mrs. Friedrich Worse. Mrs. Martin Friedrich, whose favorable condition was noted a few days ago in Ihe Journal, is not feeling as well as she did and the condit ion of I his lady has oc casioned her family and friends considerable worry, as she was apparently getting along nicely, but in a few hours received a bad spell and has been in very poor shape since, but her family are still hopeful that she will rally sufficiently to overcome the sick ness from which she is suffering. Land Brings Good Price. The sale of the land belonging to the Dysart estate, near-Union, which was held by A. L. Tidd, the referee, on Wednesday, brought Ihe total of 11,7l'5, or 117.'.'i an acre. Forty acres of the land was purchased by II. L. Hanson, and Fred W. Young, who resides near Ihe Dysart farm, purchased sixty acres of the farm land. The sale of the land was the outcome of a partition suit, tiled against Nancy J. Dysart, et al., by Louisa Hay and Albert M. Hay. AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE GRANTED THE PLAINTIFF The divorce suit of Mrs. Mary Ann Streight vs. Thaddeus A. Streight was on the trial list yes terday in the district court, and after hearing the evidence in the case the decree as prayed for was granted the plaintiff and she was iriven alisolute divorce from the defendant.
