Win. tfeigler, living near Ogallala was bitten on the thumb last week by a rattlesnake. He promptly cut the finger with a knife so that it bled profusely and then hurried to town and had remedies applied. He is not sulfering much from the re sult of the poison. ' During a storm in Custer county a few days ago hail measuring twelve inches in circumference and weighing seven ounces were picked up. Fortunately the hail was not thick enough to do much damage to crops. Perry Yeast shipped 1,500 head ol cattle from Oregon last week to his ranch north of Ogallala. where they will be pastured. General Manager Dickinson went through in special car 04 on train No. 1 Saturday. "A Solus nt tlio Hay Barn. Friday evening at eight o'clock a special train steamed out of North Platte station bound for Ilershey. The train carried about forty young people who a week before had been notified by Messrs. Dwyer, Hill. Michclsen, Eves, Seeberger and Leypoldt that there would be "a doins in the hay barn at Ilershey" on that date. The departure of the train was marked by a display of Roman caudles which made some of the small boys at the station think that Fourth of July was about to commence all over again. The train pulled into the siding at Ilershey just opposite of the hay bam, which is a structure built of corrugated iron and large enough to accommodate either a great many tons of hay or a large number of people desirous of "tripping the light fantastic." The North Platte delegation was hcartly welcomed by the hosts and a large number of other Ilershey citizens. They were immediately escorted into the barn which was handsomely decorated with bunting and Hags and lighted with electric ? lights. A lloor had been laid in the larger part of the barn and a platform built for the orchestra which consisted of a voilin. an organ and a comet. Swung above the iloor was a very approp riate motto "Hay thar." As soon as the visitors had divest ed themselves of their wraps the first strains of the orchestra were heard and the music was so enticing that almost every one's feet com menced instinctively to beat time. About fifty couples took part in the grand march which was followed by a quadrille. From then until nearly midnight the dances follow one another very rapidly and to say that all who were dancing had an enjoyable time conveys but a faint idea of their real feelinifs. Just before midnight E. P. See berger. one of the hosts, introduced W. L. Brownfield as the finest dancer in Ilershey. A signal was given to the orchestra and a lively jig time was struck up. Mr. Brown field then danced a jig which would have been a credit to a professional jig artist. The mandolin club then gave several musical selections which were heartily applauded. Three couples gave a very graceful cake walk which "brought down the house." After the cake walk lunch was served to the guests. The tables, very appropriately, were made of piles of baled hay over which the snowy damask was spread. The hosts, assisted by a number of Iler shey ladies, had prepared a yery tempting lunch to which the guests did full justice. After lunch a few more dances were danced and then the North Platte guests boarded their train for home, tired but happy. They carried with them the memory of a royal good time. The gentlemen who arranged the affair proved themselves to be ideal hosts and made every possible provision for the comfort of their guests. Mrs. Emma Sickles has recently patented a very valuable invention which will use a considerable por tion of Nebraska's surplus soil. Mrs. Sickles' home is in Dawes county, Nebraska, but of late years she has been in Washington pursu ing a scientific course ofstudy. In the progress of her scientific re searches Mrs. Sickles discovered that the rancid oil in the germ of each kernel of corn could be purif ied by the use of Nebraska earth WOMAN'S NIGHTMARE. Oho Shuddoro Whon Sho Itoallzou the Danger and Fain of Ohild-boarlng. Thcro is bo much suffering nnd danger In storo for tho young mother, that her hnpny anticipation soon gives way to a fooling of dreud nt tho thought of tho pain which uho muut undergo. This coiiHtnnt fear soproyH upon tho mind of innny women that It fills thuin with ter ror and makes baby's coming a source of tho greatest anxiety and dread. All tho suffering nnd dungor of tho ordenl can ha nvoidod hy tho ubo of "Mother's Friend," which prepares tho body for this Important ovont. It reliovcH "morning sickncBH," nnd many other unpleasant conditions which ex ist during thio time. Thousands of women praiso "Mother's Friend" for bringing thorn safely through tho moat crlticnl poriod of tholr lives. Every woman should send tholr name nnd nddretiH to tho linulllcld Hegulator Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and recolvo free, valuable information on tho eubject, into an oil resembling- olive oil and which would aimwer many of the same purposes which olive oil now does. She experimented with var ious kinds of roII but Nebraska soil was the only kind which answered the purpose. Mrs. Sickles has made proposition to several large corn manufacturers to take all their corn oil which they have hitherto regarded as worthless. A $40.00 Bicycle Given Away Daily.
