Their nephew, who has been dangerously ill for weeks past, was taken to an Omaha hospital Monday. We have noticed candidates on our streets interviewing our voters and passing their cards. Woman suffrage still being a thing of the future, we noticed the ladies were not honored with their attentions. Just wait until election, and then what? The Reasons: 1st Each horizontal extension of the ELL WOOD is a utet l cable, consisting of two heavy wires intertwined. 2d Each of these cables is tied to each other cable by a continuous heavy wire lapped tisrhUy about every cable not tied In a crooked "knot" or twist to weaken the strength of the tie wire at the bending' point. ( H'rap a wire around your fingrer and the wire is not weakened: tit: a Q iwrM wire up in a aura knot and you cannot untie it without breaking-, it is so much weakened.) uniform meshes. Simple, isn't it? NEBRASKA Misses Verla Schneider and Mary Schroeder were appointed by our Sun day school superintendent, Mrs. Ault, to attend the Si.! -!: y school conven tion at Weeping Water this week.

It is reported by one of the young ladies that Mrs. Olive told in a most interesting manner of her work in a Uoston Sunday school for the Chinese. And that she made it plain that it was almost impossible lor us to real ize Christ's agony i;i the garden where he shed drops of blood. She dwelt upon the thought of how terri ble he or we must feel when a most trusted friend plays the part of Ju das. The new blacksmith .shop on School street is nearing completion. It has a very neat, commodious and well built appearance. We ordy hope that Mr. Johnson, ia remem bering that "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," will not paint it red. One of the most up-to-date shops we know of is drab with black letter ing. Anyway, he has promised not to put any paint on until the Commer cial club decides on the color. John Gauer, James Terryberry and Rollie Noyes returned Saturday from a hunt at Merrion, Neb. They were entertained at the home of M. O. Metzer, and speak in highest praise of roast duck and good dressing pre pared by Mrs. Metzer.

Tuesday evening, October 20, at 1 p. m., the fVdar Creek school chil dren went iu the home of vVilIiam Schneider, carrying flowers to Grand ma Broadbeck, it being her 81st birth day anniversary.

The Nebraska City armory appropriation asks the voters for an appropriation of $20,000 for an armory building at Nebraska City. The second is the workmen's compensation act. We be lieve, if you give this bill your at tention and found it provided for a more equitable system for adjusting the loss to laborers when injured at work, that you would support this bill. When one listens to the report of the Degree of Honor state convention held at Fremont last week, as told by the delegates, Mrs. John Wolff and Mrs. Wm. Schneider, it makes one long to be a member of that grand order and get in on those entertaining and uplifting meetings. Two hundred and seventy-five lodges were repre sented. Four hundred delegates were in attendance. M. Tritsch, refracting optician, at Gering & Co.'s Wednesday and Sat urday eveninga. Examination free. Try the Journal for calling cards. .MITH'K.
