With a wave of the hand and a flourish of the pen Mose dis poses of this as bosh, invented by aniedeluvians, or something to that effect. It must be fine to be able to decide off hand these little niceitics that great scholars pay so muct at tention to. Great is Mose. Lyons Mirror: Major Dad Phil lips came up from Fremont to visit his daughter, Mrs. David Everett. He is one of the earliest pioneers of Dakota county. Oakland Independent: Not long since Friend Warner, of the Lyons Mirror, issued a pronounciamento on the correct use of "Rev." The use of the "Rey. Mr. So and So" is wholly wrong, says Mose. We had a feeling right along that lexico graphers and teachers of English were all wrong, and now we know it. These same authorities say that Sioux City Journal, 25s Mike Flanagan, who now lives in South Sioux City near the old distillery, vosterday was a victim of a raid b., SherilF George Cain, of Dakota City, and Chief of Police A.

Pierce and E. Morse also were caught in the raid, and similar charges placed against them. The raid victims were placed in jail in Dakota City without bond. A case of beer was found in the house. It was the third raid at the Flanagan home in the last few months. Emerson Enterprise: Mr. Kipper and family drove up from Homer for an over Sunday visit at the Hen ry Wallwey home ....

At one time he broke jail at Emerson and was ab sent from the town for some time. It was an open secret that he was suspected of illicit liquor trade but it seemed impossible to get sufliciont evidenco to convict him.

Sioux City Journal, 27th: Police officers in New Mexico who have been searching for the travelingcom panion of Clyde D. Armour, of Sioux City, both of whom mysteriously dis appeared in New Mexico while en route to California in Armour's mo tor car two months ago, believe the stranger was E. W. Blaucett. Ar mour disappeared in New Mexico and the traveling compar. - lrter soiu tne car in Albuquerque uiiu pro cured funds from relative of Arm our and also from the Liou.t City Gas and Electric company, which firm employed Armour previous to his making the trip. Mrs. Roy Ar mour, sister-in-law oi tne missing man, who lives near Hubbard, Neb., said-last night she expected her hus band to return from New Mexico shortly. 'Glen Armour, another bro ther, who also lives near Hubbard, has been assisting in the search, and also is expected to return soon. Blaucett, using the name of Armour, obtained $150 from relatives in Fresno, Cal., and wired to the Sioux City Gas and Electric company on two occasions for $200. As Armour held a note for that amount, the money was wired as requested. The automobile was sold far $500. Sev eral guns, a camera, blankets and other articles in the car also were sold by Blaucett. The investigation of Glen and Roy Armour and their brother-in-law, M. L. Sawyer, which has been conducted for nearly two months, showed that Blaucett imper sonated Clyde Armour and attempted to imitate his handwriting in send ing telegrams. Blaucett was a free spender in Albuqerque, and was seen frequently with women and frequent ed saloons, reports from Now Mex ico state. Blaucett was traced to Needles, Ariz., and it was apparent that ho continued to some point in California. Iowa to the Nebraska side, officials of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo lis and Omaha railroad virtually up held the contention of South Sioux City declared Ed Metz, acting mayor of the Nebraska town, yesterday. "That is just what we have been arguing'" said the acting mayor, "and now the road officials have ad mitted it." Citizens of South Sioux City can see no way in which the change has worked a benefit except to the rail road, Acting Mayor Metz said. Only two westbound and one eastbound trains of the Nebraska division now stop at South Sioux City. The West bound train necessitates long lay overs at Emerson for passengers des tined for Norfolk and other points, he said. W. V. Steuteville, formerly city attorney of South Sioux City, said the admission of the railroad officials before the commission would appear .on the face of it a clear admission of all the Nebraska protesters have been contending. Attorney Steute ville said, however, that it might bo possible for the roads to make a showing before the commission that South Sioux City and the other towns making protest are receiving as good service in other towns of equal size and, consequently, as good servico as they are entitled to receive. Otherwise, Mr. Steuteville said, he could see little reason to antici pate an adverse ruling for the affect ed towns at the hands of the commission. roads, umn anil team 31 fiO N O Unused, 2:)H liours dragging rouds, limn mid team 14 10 John W Mmu, 6 hours dragging road, umn niul tunm .. f il 00 (1 F King, !X) hours dragging loads, innti mid tcnin 18 W) Karl llooh. 11 hours duigglng roads, man and toiuu. 8 40 Thos Honz, IS hours dragging roads, man and tenm 0 00 John T Daley, SO hours dragging roads, innn and team , IS 00 W It Nlllott, Sljfi hours drogglng road, man nnd tunm 14 CO W ll Sundt.ft) hours dragging loads, man anil team MOO John 1) Tlmakur, SO hours dragging Komls, man nml tonm 12 CO Hoy Armour, S) hours dragging , roads, man and team IT TO J W Do Forrest, lit) hours dcaggtng roads, man and team 2100 Nols Anderson, IT hours dragging roads, man and team 10 SO W W Joyce, hi hours dragging roads, man and tnin. ........ 20 40 G W Hates, Sl, hours dragging road, man and tunm , ,. 12 DO Hoard adjourned shut die, Gcorga Wllklna.

Many of the laborers will live at the lake during the har vest season Confident that a ruling favorable to South Sioux City, Neb,, and other towns affected by a recent nonstop order issued by the ChicagoSt. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad will be returned by the Nebraska railroad commission was expressed' by Ward Evans, city attorney of South Sioux City, who returned 'from Lincoln yesterday. Mr. Evans represented his city in the fight to compel' the railroad to reestablish train stops on Norfolk line trains which recently were an nulled by the road. Written arguments will be submit ted next Thursday and an. early de cision is anticipated by Mr. Evans. The attorney said railroad officials admitted on the witness stand that street car competition from Sioux City to South Sioux City and Dakota City, affecting both east and west bound traffic, had had a largo part in prompting the change of sched ules. Mr. Evans said the road- offi cials failed to show that South Sioux City ia receiving the service to which it is entitled by reason of its size and Ideation. Street car competion, not only caused a loss of revenue in straight traffic, but helped passen gers to evade increased rates gov erning interstate traffic as compared with intrastate traffic, it, was ar gued by the road.

County Agent's Field Notes BY A. H. DECKHOFF. Short Course a Success. The only bad feature to tho meet ings which closed last Friday evening, was that tho attendance was curtail ed occount of the very cold weath er, while some others wero kept away by the proximity of tho holi days. In point of interest, to use one of the speakers' own words, "Wo have never had a better one and never expect to have a more responsive audience." That the instructors gave satisfac tion in tho presentation of their work is attested by tho fact that those who came the first day wero regular in their attendance through out tho entire course. The domestic science work was conducted by the Misses Itokahr and Canflcld, while the men's branch was under tho supervision of Professors Wood and Warner, all of tho Exten sion Service, University of Nebraska. It was especially pleasing to noto that quality and not quantity was tho dominant factor, and that thoso in attendance voiced their approval by going on record unanimously as favoring another short course next year. Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in the court house in Dakota City, will bo held the annual meeting of the Dakota County Farmers' Associa-. tion. All who possibly can should at tend. The year's work will be sum med up in a report by County Agent BeckhofT, whoso resignation was tendered a short time ago. , The speaker of tho day will be Prof. W. W. Burr, lato of North Platte Experiment Station, now head of Agronomy at the Nebraska Ex periment Station at Lincoln. All will enjoy hearing him nnd will profit by his address. The weather permitting, let's see if tho court house cannot be filled. crv G. F. Hughes & Co.
