Anyway On Labor day while the writer was at Nehawka he dropped into the parlor of Nels Anderson where two gentlemen from the neighborhood were taking a bottle of some of the thirst breaking variety when one of them looked at a picture of Wm. Mc Kinley who was admired very much by Mr. Anderson, and said. "There is Grover Cleveland," the other gen tleman when challenged to the pic ture looked up and said "Yes, and a good picture of Mr. Cleveland it is, too."

Raney vs. Dora A. Raney in which the plaintiff would have the bonds of wedlock severed by the court and be restored to his previous condition of freedom. In his petition the plain tiff alleges that they were married in Broken Bow in 1913 and that since that time he has suffered greatly from the action of the de fendant in nagging nd persecution which- has made it impossible for him to hold a position for any length of time. He asks that he be granted an absolute decree of di vorce. An appeal from, the decision of the justice court of A. ?W. Neihart of Elmwood has been filed in the office of the district clerk in the case of William Deies Dernier vs. Belle Bowdish, and in which the plaintiff secured a judgment in the sum of $150 in the court at Elmwood.

TEAM THIS YEAR A WORRY Stone Wall of Last Season is Gonej and Skipper Dawson Has Prob lem to Eeplace It.. Lincoln, Sept. 3. Scanning Corn husker footballing problems of 1323 from a topmost perch in the new me morial stadium, the case presents lit tle that is difficult to diagnose. Said problems involve the line. That's it. The line! For thirty years or more Cornhusker forwards have been big, beefy and powerful. Back fields oc casionally have been below standard, but it had been very infrequent, in deed, that Nebraska has not been represented by a whale of a line. Worries of Head Coach Dawson and his lieutenants over this year's forward wall are easy of understand ing. Five of last year's regular lines men were stricken from the Husker roster by the graduation process. The two surviving vets are Berquist and Bassett, both guards. ' Another half-regular on the '22 squad Thomsen, an end is a promising prospect to fill one of the vacant wing positions, but Dawson, never theless, must rebuild his line, and thereon hinges Nebraska's hopes for a successful gridiron season in 923. Freshmen Look Good. Aside from the Berquist-Bassett-Thomsen trio, the line tutors, "In dian" Schulte and Ex-Captain Day, will have a string of '22 substitutes at their command. This list in cludes Hendrickson. guard, Helber sleben, guard; McAllister, end; Nix on, center and guard; Packer, guard and tackle; Reed, guard; Robert son, end; Sturm guard; McGlasson, tackle, and Volz, end. Then the freshmen of '22 should .contribute several formidable contenders for line stations. EETIEES FE0M SEEVICE First Sergeant Edgar Wilson of i Company L 17th infantry, was here today for a few hours to look after some matters at the range with his commanding officer connected with the retirement of Mr. Wilson from the army after a service of thirty years, he retiring tomorrow from active duty and will enter the postal service with the government. Ser geant Wilson has a fine record in the army and has not had during his charge of the company a single court martial of any of the members of the company and has had a bril liant career in the service. He first enlisted at Evansville, Indiana, in 1894 and served with the 16th and 17th Infantry and during the Span- : ish-American war was with the 17th I infantry and also with them In the Philippine campaign and later with the 15th cavalry with which he saw i service on the Mexican border and was with the Pershing expedition in to Mexico In 1917. He spent a year and a half overseas in the World war and being attched to a field ar tillery organization and later on his return home was again sent to the 17th infantry where he has rounded out his long service at Fort Crook. He will in the future draw $94.50 a month for the rest of his life as a re membrance of his years of service to the United States. ENJOY FISH DINNER From Tuesday Dally. Yesterday morning John Richard con, the ferryman, purchased a fine seventy-two pound cat fish and load- ' ing his car motored to Omaha where ' he in company with other members ; of his family enjoyed an old fashion- i ed fish dinner at the home of Mrs. ! Rosa Jackson, a sister of Mr. Rich-1 ardson. The occasion was one of i the greatest of pleasure and delight to the family and the fine and tooth-( some fish proved a real treat to the members of the family.' n VVSJ 1 t Qcor'yBT Tirr 131 12 823 EARTHQUAKE DEAD REACH A HIGH NUMBER ALMOST ALL OF T0KI0 AND YO KOHAMA LAID WASTE EY FIRE AND QUAKES. LOOTING AND FAMINE FOLLOW President Coolidge Calls on America to Aid Sister Nation of Japan in its Awful Tragedy. Osaka, Sept. 4. Almost the whola of Tokio and Yokohama have been destroyed by earthquake, followed by fire, and the loss of life now is es timated at from 120,000 to 200,000, or more. Two hundred thousand houses have been burned down in the two cities. Water mains have been brok en and food supplies destroyed by the fire, so that the peonle are near star vation and suffering much from thirst. It is reported, but not confirmed, that the section of Tokio where most of its foreign population resided, i3 not greatly damaged. Befugees Crowd Parks Disorder reigns thru Tokio and Yokohama. The streets, where not covered with the debris of fire and earth quake, are crowded with refugees. There is no shelter to be had, and if there were, many of them would con tinue to sleep in the streets, as fear of further earthquakes is widely ex pressed. Thousands of other refu gees have gathered in Tokio's four great parks Ueno, Hibiyd, Shiba and Asakusa and others in open places near the city. To these people, such food as the government relief organization has been able to obtain is being distri buted, as are also allowances of wa ter. A terrible tragedy was enacted in and around the Ueno railway station in Tokio Saturday afternoon. Thou sands of refugees, unable to find shel ter inside the great station building, were massed in Ueno park, while in side, it is estimated 8.000 were gath ered. An outbreak of fire from a break In a gas main nearby threw the entire mass into a panic which became worse when the fire attacked the station. Bodies in Heaps No estimate of the casualties which ensued has been made, but those viewing the place said these were "staggering in number." Bodies are piled helter-skelter around the station, men, women and children mingled indiscriminately as they fell and were trampled in the mad rush to escape from the fire. While no accurate estimate can yet be formed, it is believed the damage to property in Tokio alone will be more than 5,000,000,000 yet. It is thought the reconstruction work in the city will require at least two years, probably more. The whole of Kawaguchi, a town near Tokio, is reported to have been destroyed, 6,000 houses having been leveled by the tremor and subse quent fire. Among the losses at Yokohama were 50,000 piculs of raw silk which burned. In Tokio 3,500,000 bushels of rice burned In the Fukagawa warehouses. Martial Law in Effect Martial law has been proclaimed and no one is allowed to enter the stricken districts at the capital, al though thousands whose friends or relatives resided there have gathered about the city seeking entrance that they may at least find th bodies of their loved ones. Military and naval forces have been gathered at the imperial -illa at Nikko for use In controlling the situation and other forces are on duty in Tokio itself. The air is filled with wildest ru- -Some Domesticity Exposed! - "My dear," a wife said to her spouse, "1 think that we should build a house ; e Of funds, I'm sure there is no lack We've lived too long in this old shack.
