! lighted those in attendance with

Only Got Seventy
Last Wednesday evening a fishing
party was organized by Simon Reh
meyer and A. B. Stromer, of which
J. L. Pilkington was also a member.
They drove to the Weeping Water
and there they found the fishing was
real good, butUhey soon ran out of
bait, as the fish would bite as fast
as they threw their hooks into the
water. In many instances the fish
were even ready to be caught before
the hooks could be baited. The boys
do say that one of the fish, a little
silver spangler sun fish, actually
jumped out of the water and beckon
ed to Mr. Stromer calling out at the
time, "Get me next." They had just
caught 70 when the bait ran out.
Meets with Accident
Dee Mick, of Chappell, who is the

injuries which he received when his
team ran away. Mrs. Rosenow de
parted for the west at once to be
present at the funeral of her nephew
and to render all the comfort and as
sistance possible.
Better tlse Both Hands
There is a practice of many of the
younger men in this neighborhood
driving their car with one hand
while the other and the arms too are
encircling some fair maiden's waist.
This hugging should be put off until
there is not so much danger of going
into the ditch or hitting another car.
We know the hugging must be done
but be careful that it does not cost
too much should there be an auto ac
cident and you be held responsible
for the damage done.
Special One-Day Bargain

to the Semi-Weekly Journal (in ad
vance) on next Wednesday will be

ting it at the bare' cost of the paper

BAD FIRE AT MANLEY
Thursday one of the old land
marks in the vicinity of Manley was
destroyed in a fire that wiped out the

day meal was bei&g cooked, the oil
stove that wa3 being used in the
kitchen, exploding and throwing the
burning oil over the interior of the
room and making it Impossible for
the members of the family to check
the blaze. . The flames . spread very
rapidly and in a very few moments
the entire building was wrapped in
f ames and made it impossible for the
members of the family to save any
of their. effects from the roaring fuf
p.Tce that the home had been trans
formed to.
After the house was destroyed the
family was invited to the home of a
neighbor for dinner and had hardly
left the place when a second fire oc
curred. The sparks and embers from

cave, located a short distance from
the house, after smouldering for some
time the door broke into flames and
the embers from the door falling in
to the cave caused some straw and
inflamable material in the cave to
catch afire and in a few moments all
the supplies in the cave were burned
up.
The house was part frame and
part brick and was built sixty years
ago or more by some of the pioneer
residents of the west. For many
years in the early days it was used
as a post house where travelers and
the pony express riders for the west
could stop on their journey from St.

The loss, it is estimated, will run
from $2,000 to $3,000. with no In
