The furni ture and equipment are almost all ready and there are some patients waiting to enter that institution as soon as it is open for use. It seems to be the general opinion that St. Gertrude's hospital will fill a long felt want and will be well patron ized. Osmond Republican: When either B. S. Leedom or Joe Leedom come to this office and pick up a stick and go to setting type we think of the story that is told of William Dean Howells, one of the best known liv ing authors, now livingin New York, but who learned the printers trade in a little Ohio town.

Carter, of South Sioux City, yesterday morning went to the crib of her 7-month-old baby, John Henry Carter, to arouse the infant from slumber, she found him dead. Examination revealed that death was caused by suffocation. Illness ad weakened the child and probab . contributed to the death, phy nicirt.is said. Mr. and Mrs. Carter have lived in South Sioux City for two months. The baby was their only chihfe Tekamah Herald: There were 54,344 votes cast for congressman in the Third district, of which Steph ens received 28,055, W. P.

He only had a majority of 340 in Dixon and Dakota counties, and Conley had 3G2 in his home county of Thurston, which gave Conley a ma jority of 22.

Mar shal Morgan, who came up here a week or two ago and carted off two alleged bootleggers to Omaha, came back on Tuesday this week and went away Wednesday morning with two more on the same charge. He says he is coming back soon after some more of those frisky gentlemen who are furnishing the Indians their high ly coyeted "fire water." Mr. Mor gan is certainly doing a good job. We can still spare a few more of our greatly undesirable citizens. LeMars, la., Sentinal: The dis trict court of Dakota county, Neb., opened yesterday. One case for trial is of interest to LeMars people. John Peyson was a notorious charac ter for many years. He lived in Le Mars in the early eighties and was deputy sheriff in Plymouth county for a brief time. He later engaged in the saloon business in Covington, Neb., where he gained unsavory no toriety, and also at one time con ducted a saloon in LeMars. His easi ly obtained money did him no good and after the dry wave came he was stranded and finally went to the poor house. Homer Star: Newton Purdy, old time Dakota county resident, died in Oklahoma City, November 7th. Mr. Purdy was born in Harden county, Ohio June 18, 1847, and was married December 24, 1867, to Mary Alexander. He came to Dakota county at an early day and after a few years moved to Oklahoma where he resided for the past 27 years. Mr. Purdy leaves a wife and ten children to mourn his loss. Dan and Sam Purdy, of this town are broth ers of the deceased Dr. Ernest Bruce, of Homer, has been appoint ed deputy vstate inspector of live ROSS Nebraska stock for the state of Nebraska. This is a great boost and honor for our local veterinarian, and should be appreciated by his many patrons. Dr. Bruce is a graduate from the Kansas veterinarian school and reg istered in the state of Nebraska, and Homer and vicinity should be proud of the honor conferred upon him. Allen News: Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Earl McAfee, Sunday, Novem ber 19, a boy. . . .Harold Ardon Beith, the second child of Orville and Lucy Beith, of Jackson, Neb., died the evening of .November 15, and was brought to Springbank for burial. The funeral services were held Fri day morning at 10 o'clock, at the Friends church, conducted by Miss Brown, the pastor, and interment made in Springbank cemetery. The little child died after a brief illness of only a few days. Death was thought to be caused from stomach and heart trouble. The parents have the sympathy of the entii com munity in their sad bereavement. Sioux City Journal, 26: Comple tion or the new drainage system near Jackson, Neb., whereby the waters of Elk creek are diverted in to Jackson lake and from there to the Missouri river was celebrated yesterday afternoon by the residents of the town. The fire whistle of the town was blown for fifteen minutes, starting at 5 o'clock. The celebra tion yesterday marked the finishing of a project which was started twelve years ago. When it was announced that the waters of the creek were to be diverted from their course south east to the Missouri river, to a north easterly direction into Jackson lake, 700 residents of Dakota county sign ed a petition for an injunction. The case was taken into the county court at Dakota City and an injunction stopping the work was granted. The case then went into the district court, where the injunction was dis solved. The petitioners then appeal ed to the Nebraska supreme court. It was sent back to the district court and again dissolved. Altogether the case has been in the district court twice, twice in the Nebraska supreme court, in the United States supreme court and in the tederal court at Omaha. The opinion of the United States supreme court was written by Justice C. E. Hughes. He sustained the district court of the state in dissolving the injunction. His decision was announced last No vember. As soon as the federal court case had been decided work was" started to divert the course of the creek. It has been estimated that the cost of fighting the case through the twelve years has amounted to $30,000. A number of prominent law firms of both Sioux City and Dakota county have been connected with the case at va rious time3. R. E. Evans, who de fended the drainage commissioners when the first injunction was grant ed, has fought the case through all of the courts. Lawyers who were connected with the case are Jepson & Jepson, U. G. Whitney, W. P. Warner, and Pizey Bros. Sioux City Journal, 28: Miss Mar garet Ryan, of Jackson, Neb., yes terday underwent an operation for the removal of her tonsils at the Sa maritan hospital Fifty-three nimrods competed for the turkey fchoot held Sunday on the grounds of the Crystal Lake Gun club. P. W. Rasmussen, who for two days was a member of the Sioux City Western league baseball club this season, was the individual star of the tourney. Rasmussen took home three turkeys, two geese and one duck. His broth er, R. H. Rasmussen, took second honors and captured two turkeys and two geese. The shoot was the largest of its kind ever held in this section of the country. More than sixty turkeys, geese and ducks were hung up for prizes. More than 2,000 bluerocks were wrecked by the con testants. The shoot was in charge of Adolph Olson . . . .Traveling men and Nebraska visitors who contemplated Dakota City as a possible escape from the higher railroad fare when the announcement was made yester day that the Nebraska trains would not stop at bouth Sioux Uity upon investigation found that no stops are being made there either. Twenty passengers with Nebraska towns as their objective were left standing on the Sonth Sioux City station plat form Sunday afternoon when the Norfolk, Neb., train on the Omaha line, obeying a new time card, did not stop. Orders were issued by the Omaha railroad that no stops be made at Dakota City or South Sioux City, except the train to Omaha and from Omaha on the Nebraska side of the river. Four other trains are affected by the ruling. Train fare from Sioux City to South Sioux City is 25 cents and to Dakota City 35 cents. From Sioux City to Nebras ka towns the interstate passenger rate is charged. By going to South Sioux City to start into Nebraska the passengers save .4 of a cent on each mile. They also escape a 25- cent bridge toll. There is a disa greement as to whether tickets were sold at South Sioux City to the stranded travelers Sunday. Some of the travelers allirm it, but the ticket seller at the station gives evi dence to the contrary. Among those left on the station platform was J. P. O'Furcy, publisher of the Cedar County News, at Hartington, Neb. Since the order of the interstate commerce commission about six months ago advancing the interstate passenger tariff to 2.4 cents, it has been the custom of persons going to Nebraska cities and towns to make South Sioux City their starting point, in that way taking advantage of the interstate rate, which is 2 cents a mile. The bridge toll also was sav ed. The trains which formerly stop ped at South Sioux City were the 8:52 a. m. and 5:01 p. m., bound for Norfolk, and the 9:44 a. m. and the 4:32 p. m., bound for Sioux City. SCHOOL NOTES. By Clarenco Linton. The primary room is making Pil grim posters of free hand cuttings. The picture "The Pilgrims Going to Church," is represented on the sand table. Mrs. Ream visited in the primary and other departmi .its of the school Friday afternoon, Glen Wadell entered the first grade this week, making an enroll ment of fourty-two in the primary department. There will be no school on Thurs day and Friday of this week. The second reports are being sent out. If parents find the marks of their children to be unsatisfactory, they will do the teaching corps a fa vor by conferring about the matter.. Two-thirds of the semester is passed and the reports given thus far indi cate quite definately the results of this half year's work. There are many grades that are dangerously low, but very few that cannot be raised if proper effort is made. A short progarm'of current events was given in the high school Friday, after which a further discussion of the game of foot ball was carried out. The Sioux City team failed to come, so the scrubs, consisting of the 'referee, and other visitors gave the high school team a practice game ending in a score of 13 to 2G in favor of the team. The sympa thy of the people on the side lines seems to have been with the team, but the scrubs gave them some good practice preparatory to the Thanks giving game. Long periods are being spent in practice this week and all efforts are being made to bring the game up to a nigh stanaam tor inanKsgiving. Tickets are to be had from the high school students at 25 cents each. We wish to sell a large number be fore Thursday, and are expecting a large delegation of Dakota City people to be present. We promise you a good game. The two teams are well matched and each will be in the best condition.

Farm Notes. Issued by the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture. GUADING POTATOES Prevailing high prices for potatoes this fall was a strong temptation for growers to sell scabby potatoes, a practice that in the long run is not a profitable one, says the agricultu ral botany department of the univer sity college of agriculture. So long as a buyer for unsound potatoes could be found, their sale was profitable to the grower; but as buyers prefer to purchase from dis tricts which maintain a reputation for producing and shipping first-class stock, districts from which diseased stock has been unloaded on the mar ket must expect to bo offered lower prices than prevail in sections of favorable reputation. Western Nebraska has an oppor tunity to establish the potato indus try on a secure footing by insisting upon the inspection and careful grad ing ol ail potatoessold in that region, by organizing an association of po tato growers. The crop can then bo sold under guarantee of the associa tion. CKEAMERY COUUSE A four-months practical creamery course is to be offered by the dairy husbandry department of the Uni versity of Nebraska, January 2 to April 14.

POTATO GKOWEKS TO MEET Plans are being made by the col lege of agriculture and the state hor ticultural society for a program for Nebraska potato growers at the uni versity farm, Lincoln, January 18, in connection with Organized Agri culture week.

IIKNKW AUTO CKANK CASE OIL In using the low grade gasoline now being sold, it is absolutely nec essary that engines be completely drained and refilled with clean, fresh oil of medium grade at least once every ,000 miles (proferably eyery 500 miles in cold weather) says .the college of agriculture. Unless this is attended to at regu lar intervals, quantities of kero sire and water accumulate In the crank case and lead to burnt-out bearings, worn cylinders and pistons, fouled spark plugs, and carbonized motors. No doubt a great deal of engine trouble to be found now is duo to the above difficulties. GOOD SIRES PAY Farmers who use pure-bred sires receive about $30 more for every $100 worth of feed consumed by live stock than do those using grade sires, according to figures compiled by the farm management extension service of the University of Nebraska. In round numbers, scrub live stock turn only about four-fifths of value of the feed they consume. re the ? $ $ $ $ $ J t $ v $ $ " V $ $ ' f Tthc Heraldfs SK JLoitcr Box T Ji t J Jt J J i t $$ $ $ J $ $ FROM COLORADO SPRINGS November 24, 191G.
