Patrick Henry Kelley, one of the oldest resident of Monroe, passed away at three o'clock Sunday morning. He had been in poor health for the past two months, but not until Sat- ( urday did his condition become alarm ing. He came to Platte county about 1859, an 1 sered in t'e civil war in a Nebraska regiment. After the War he returned to Monroe and lived on his farm northeast of town, until a few ; years ago, when he moved to Monroe. For a number of years he had lived . with his sister, Mrs. Anna Young, who came here after the death of her hus band. His wife died several years ago, and no children were left by them. He is survived by three brothers, John M. Kelley. of Monroe, Dr. B. B. Kel ley, of Billings. Montna, and Jesse B. Kelley who lives in Coloradao, be sides the sister. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon and interment was made in the Friends cemetery west of town. A peculiar coincident was the fact that his frie nds had placed his name on the prohibition ticket for county treasurer, and that on election day his friends carried him to his last resting place. He was a man who was a credit to the community in which he lived, and held the esteem and respect of all who knew him. C. M.

Bell Telephone Lines Reach Nearly Everywhere having more votes in each each votit . precinct than the combined vote of both his oppponents. The total vote of Mr. Smith was 822, as against 306 for Bergman and 212 for Mayberger. Mr. Mayberger made his campaign that the country should be represented and hoped to receive the country vote while the city would divide its votes between Smith and Bergman. This plan faied to mater ialize, however aid Smith swept every thing in both city and country. In the Monroe district Supervisor Wilson was sacrfiiced and George C. Anderson will represent that district after January, next Monroe voting place, in Oconee township remembered very kindly the work of Supervisor Wil son in the Monroe bridge matter, and returned 90 votes for him to 14 for Mr. Anderson. On the other hand, Mr. Anderson proved to be very popul ar in his home township of Wood ville, that township reversing the Monroe vote almost exactly. The other township voted in such a way a to leave Anderson a majority of about twenty. Two years ago, Mr. Wilson was elected over William Webster, by a majority of one. There is one thing that appears in the returns all the way through to the credit of all candidates, both republi can and democratic, and mat is the magnificent vote received by them in their respective home voting places among their own neighbors. For instince, in his old home in Lost Creek township Fred Lecron ran about thirty votes ahead of his ticket, while Gideon I Braun reversed a three-to-one demo- cat ic margin in Loup; John Hayes led his ticket by thirty-five in Columbus township, while John Graf's First war! vote vote was almost as much ahead of the average of his running mates.. The votes on county judge and county treasurer were not wholly governed by jolitical territory as were the others, each of the four candidates carried some precincts that under or diniry circumstances would have been counted for the other. Per congress, Dan V. Stephens has been elected over Colonel Elliott, the estimates of his majority varying from 2.5 DO to 1000. In the state, the entire republican ticket seems to have been elected, with the possible ex exception that Judge Dean may have defeated Judge Hamer. These later two appear to be running closely.

Battles, living about two miles east of town, was awakened at about four o'clock Monday morning by the ceiing in his kitchen falling down and arose to find his house on fire. He soon discovered that nothing could be done towards saving the house and turned his attention to the furniture and succeed with the help of neighbors in saving the most of it, but the house was eotnpletelv desroyed. There was no stove, pipe or chimney near where the fire started and it is supposed it was another "match and mouse" deal.

When an animal dies on the farm of some infectious disease his carcass should be destroyed by burning. In case this precaution is rendered im possible the body should at least be buried at a depth of four or five feet and covered with quicklime. Where a shallow grave is used the diseased remains may be subsequently disinter red by some prowling animal and an entire herd which is on pasture near by may be exosed to the disease. An thrax, especial I j', is often spread by neglect of these precautions, as birds, dogs or other animals prey on the un buried carcass and distribute the germs. Great care must be exercised to prevent the transmission of anv germ-bearing disease to the rest of the herd through the deaths of one of its members. The stable which has housed an animal which has died of a contagious disease should Jbe subjected to rigorous sanitary treatment. All the infected forage and bedding should be raked up and burned, while the walls should be well soaked with water and then thoroughly scraped. In case there i any rotten wood in the floor, feed boxs, or stanchions, it should be removed and burned, borne vigorous gemicide which will stamp out all possibility of further transmission of the disease should then be used. Lime it generally considered one of the most efficient disinfectants, because Mi PLATTE CENTER. Mi!

Mr. and Mrs. Wiiliam Nay came up from Columbus Sunday evening and are stopping with their son Robert. Mr. Nay has been with a U.

He has now taken a lay off until spring, and next week he and Mrs. Nay will go to Arkansas where they will spend the winter. BFor several days Water Commis sioner Kipp had noticed that the water pressure in the tank had been escap ing by other than the natural way, and last Friday he discovered a leak in the pipe that goes under Elmcreek. It was a badjplace to fix but by build ing a temporary dam around the spot they got at it and found it to be a small sand hole in the pipe. By Sat urday noon the hole had been securely pluged and the water was again turn ed on. While the plant was shut down advantage was taken an some repairs made on the pump. Kt '.

G. BROWN UNION PACIFIC AGENT Be Your Own Rain Maker Did the recent long, dry spell hit you pretty hard-cutting down your crop yield and your income for the year? In the Big Horn Basin and the Yellowstone Valley farmers have raised splendid crops. Their income this year will be greater than ever and it all comes from an ample water supply. The farmer "controlled the rain" and applied the water as his crops needed it. The Gov- f ernment system of irrigation provides during the growing season two feet of water per acre, the equivalent of twelve heavy rains of two inches each; think what such a water supply would have meant to your community during the summer of 1911. Why not go with me on the next excursion into the Big Horn Basin, and look over that land of sunshine and bounty; new Government units of the finest kind of irrigated land near Ralston now available with perpetual water rights on the easiest of terms.
