Con nell has demonstrated while in our midst that It is possible for a preacher to be likable and agreeable. Ho is the kind of man who does things. Where he sees an oportunity to do good to tho physical man he does it and thus paves the way to do him spiritual good We hope that the appointing power in the M. E. church, whoever that may be, will see his way clear to Bending Mr. Connell back to Heming ford. By his live way of living ho has made many warm friends and, I trust, a few enemies. (He would be no good If he hadn't.) There is a harvest for him hero in his work and we hope that he will be the man to reap it. r Sheriff Ira Reed and family spent Sunday In Hemingford. Mr. Reed's younger children wcro baptized at tho M. E. Church. Mr. Reed will sell his cattle, fifty head, at the stock yards September 13, 1002. Our streets wcro not very crowded Monday on account of tho circus in Alliance. There Is nothing which de lights tho younger generation of both sexes llko a show. Wo expect that playing show will be tho principal amusement of tho boys for tho next thrco months. If wo were rich, when ever a circus came to town wo would distribute tickets frco to all tho boys and girls who couldn't afford to buy them themselves. Wm. E. Burns, a union boiler maker from St. Louis who has been working at Choyenno and Denver until tho recent Union I'uclOc strike, was thrown from a box car by Conductor Scofield Tuesday, nbout 12;30 p. m. The train was running tweuty miles an hour nnd Burns received severe in juries. He had an arm broken, two ribs broken, his back badly bruised and his skull fractured. From the np pearanco of his head wo would conclude that ho had been hit with a club of some kind, but it is barely possible that ho hit his head on a tie. His story Is that the conductor asked hltn for a dollar, which being-not forthcom ing, the conductor went to tear up a union card he had been showing. Then tho fracas began. The other side is thot tho boilermoker began hostilities und that the conductor, to keep from being whipped, knocked him out of the car. Burns was well cared for, Alonzo Sherwood taking upon himself the responsibility of call ing Dr. Eikuer to attend to his wounds. From all accouuts Scofield did not have a ballroom appcarauco after the encounter. Wo nro glad that our citi zens took an Interebt in tills man. Thoy took him to the hotel and cared for him. Though perhaps he was onlv a tramp, yet ho was all of a man. All honor to tho boy or girl that makes up his or her mind to go to school in spito of dlfllcultics. Those who will go to school, those who over come obstacles which are keeping them away from mind improvement, havo an infinitely better chance to become use ful citizens than those who havo school opportunities around them of which thoy may take advantage without effort upon their part. Personally, we know of many bright boys and girls in tho vicinity of Hemingford. Thcro are many'more whom we do not know. But for theso boys and girls to attain their highest usefulness as cititizens and members of society they must get mind discipline and mind power. Tho school year Is about to open. It has already opened In many places. Some of tho young people living on ranches havo their minds taken up with the cattle, horses and stock and feel that they do not want to study. They can, if they only will, spend this winter, at least, at school. It will, if only they will do It, mean one important crisis In each life. It will open before the mind broader and better things. It is said Opportunity knocks at the door of every man at least ouce in his life. May not this school yeor now opening bo the opportunity of many of the young people of Box Butte county? There are good schools scattered over western Nebraska In all towns and vil lages. Wo hope that most of the young people will bo going to school some where this winter. There is ouly one thing necessary: Tho will to go. Give up a dollar a day now for a little hardship, perhaps a little work In some fellow's back yard eawlnjr wood or a little dish washing Itl Someone's kitchen anything to get through tho school year. The education Is of much benefit, but thcro nro other things me associations, the menus, ttio ac quaintances madeoutsido of tho school, social intercourse of the many some thing not to be found In small country schools. All this will havo an influ ence for good on all the after life of the pupil. BOX BUTTE NEWS School opened In district No. 15 with seven pupils in attendance. Archie Judsou Is over In Sheridan county, "teaching the young Ideas how to shoot." Miss Eva Wilson is attending school inChadron. The Box Butte school opened Mon day with Miss Taylor of Dawes as teacher. Haying Is not completed yet, It hav ing been kept back by rain. All tho schools were closed Monday for the show, and every one took a hol iday. The ladles Aid of Murple gave a so cial last Friday evening. Ice cream and cake were served. All report an enjoyable time. Dr. Seymour, tho well known eye specialist, has uot fulled to make regu lar trips through Nebrubka twice a year for ten years, lie will be ut tho Char ters hotel October 0 und 10, NECESSITY OF 8LUMBER. Dentil by SIecplenneNM n Chinese Punishment. "A person absolutely without slep for nine dnys will die," says a writer In Alnslco'B. "Sufferers from Insomnlu BomotlmcB maintain Hint thoy hnvc gone for weeks without sleeping, but It has been proved that they do Bleep without being nwnro of It At a cer tain point sleep 1b inevitable, no raat ter what tho bodily condition, the nl ternutlvo being death. Prisoners havo slept on tho rack of the Inquisition. And tho Chlncso found that only tho greatest Ingenuity and vigilance could carry out n sentence of death by sleep lessness. This mode of capital punish ment was long In favor in China and 1b Bald to bo bo today, -vhllo as a form of torturo deprivation of sleep is consid ered ono of tho most efficacious weap ons in tho Chinese judicial nrscurtl. In somo such cases tho prisoner 1b kept In n cngo too small to stand up or Ua down In and constantly prodded with a sharp rod. Death by starvation, also a Chlncso punitive method, Is a Blower process and therefore, ono would think, more calculated to appeal to tho oriental mind If it wcro not that death by sleeplessness is thought bo much moro painful. In the lat ter enso tho brnln Ib tho first affect ed of nil the organs of tho body, while in case of starvation tho brain longest retains Its normal weight nnd charac ter. "A corresponding mode of taming wild elephants Ib said to bo depriving tho animals of sleep when first caught. In a few dnys they become compara tively spiritless and harmless. Tho brain of tho elephant Is held to be moro highly developed than that of any other wild animal, but of course as compared with a human brain can bo easily fntlgued by now impressions and so made very dependent on sloop. Tho wild elephant in his natlvo Jungle, however, Is said to Bleep very little n further point for tho theory of the uni versal ratio of sleep to Intelligence. A man taken out of his habitat and placed In conditions which ho never could havo imagined If transported to Mars, say would doubtless need an extraordinary amount of Bleep at first. There is tho almost parallel case of a German boy, Casper Hauscr, who up to tho ago of eighteen was kept In ono room whero he had no lntcrcourso with human beings or sight of any natural object, not oven the sky. At eighteen ho was brought to Nuremberg and abandoned In tho street For the flfst few months of his life nmong men ho Blept almost constantly nnd so soundly that It wub very hard to wnko him."

Somo of our most lmportnut organs for Instance, tho heart, the brain and tho lungs are, strange to say, qulto lnsonslble to touch, thus showing that not only nro ncrvos necessary for tho sensation, but also the special end or gans. The curious fact was noticed with tho greatest astonishment by Harvey, who, while treating a patient for an abscess that caused a largo cavity in his side, found that when he put his fingers into the cavity he could actually tnko hold of the heart without tho patient being In tho lenst uwaro of what ho was dolug. This so interested Harvey that ho brought King Charles I. to the mnn's bedside that "ho might himself behold and touch bo extraor dinary a thing." In certain operations a piece Of skin is removed from tho forehead to tho nose, and it is Btntcd tlmt the patient, oddly cuough, feels ns if tho new nasal .part wcro still In IiIb forehead nnd tuny hnvo a headache in his nose. Chambers' Journal. In the Same Situation. A funny story is told nbout n physl ciun at Monroo City. A resident pf tho town set out shade trees for the doctor. A short time later tho physi cian was called to attend the mother-in-law of tho man who hnd set out tho trees. Tho old lady died, and the phy sician presented his bill. After paying It, the citizen thought of the trees and niado out und presented n bill for them. "But the trees died," protested tho doctor. "So did my mother-in-law," retorted tho other man. Tho doctor paid tho bill. Kansas City Journal. Legal Advertisements. Estray Notice.

The awkward question of the tip was solved by a big Now Englaiidcr from tho state of Maine who was dining in n London restaurant the other evening. Having pald-his bill, ho was Informed by tho waiter that what he had paid did "not lncludo the waiter." "Waal," said the stranger, "I ate no waiter, did 1 ?" And ns ho looked quite ready to do 60 on nny further provocation tho sub ject was dropped. London Chronicle. 5 One Instance: A "sitting" was made, proof shown and proved acceptable to customer, ex cepting It did not "flatter" enough. Wo saw place for Improvement and asked for resitting. A different cos tume was used resulting In a vast Im provement and we were satisfied. Proofs were again submitted and after asking "her friends," order was made from poorer negative. We protested, but to uo avail. (Six hours time and 82 in material lost making negatives.) Seven hours extra aro spent in retouch ing negative to make tho work up to expectations. When finished, we get 52.50. And yet people say we aro high priced. Alliance, Ned. - First Door West of O'Connor's Bakery. Largeststockof Harness and Saddes. IN NORTHWEST NEBRASKA.
