Three or four weeks ago Mrs.
Steve Colerick set a hen with 15
eggs. Seven of them hatched
out in two weeks and were taken
away. The other eight hatched
out in the usual three weeks.
The eggs that first hatched out
were bought and had evidently
been under a hen for a few days.
Presiding Elder Geo. I. Wright
starts this week for Baltimore,
Maryland, to attend the general
conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, he being one
of the ministerial delegates from
the Nebraska conference. The
general conference meets every
four years, delegates being pres
ent from all over the world.
Not many towns the size of
Nemaha have as many attend
ants at Sunday school as Nema
ha. Last Sunday there were 103
present at the Methodist Sunday
school and 113 at the Christian
a total of 21G in a town of only
about 450 inhabitants. There
were no special exercises and no
extra efTorts were made to bring
out the scholars.
The new horse on Knapp's
dray wagon evidently got tired
of wearing the hobbles Tuesday
and proceeded to kick himself
loose. He kicked his mate a few
times, and knocked hair, hide
and flesh off one of his own legs.
He started in at the depot, kicked
some more after they got him up
town, and kept on kicking after
they got him in the barn. He is
quite lame and will have a mighty
sore leg for several days.
Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Bridge,
who moved to Oregon eight
years ago, returned to Nemaha
Tuesday and will visit relatives
and friends for two or three
weeks. Mr. Bridge says he is
well pleased, with Oregon and is
prospering. He recently sold the
farm where lie has been living,
near Orient, but has bought an
other one in Washington, north
of Vancouver, his postoffice being
Battleground.
Is a Candidate
The Auburn and Lincoln pa
pers have stated that Col. T. J.
Majors would in all probability be
a candidate for state senator this
fall, and in an interview with
Mr. Majors the first of the week
the Pointer learns that the state
ment is correct. Mr. Majors will
make a strong race, and we be
lieve that he will be nominated
and elected. Peru Pointer.
Col. Majors is a man of ability,
experience and wide acquaint
ance, and no man in Nemaha
county could do more for the
people. The colonel is a worker,
and Nemaha county will be heard
from on the floor of the senate
if he is elected.

J. II. Vanderslice has traded
his farm near Crab Orchard for
a stock of general merchandise,
hardware, etc., at Phelps, Mo.
He went over Monday to invoice
the stock and assume possession.
Mr. Vanderslice returned Wed
nesday to pack up his household
goods, and expects to move to
day. Mr. Vandcrsiice has lived
in Nemaha five years and has
made many friends who regret
to have the family leave.
Surveyors were at work Wed
nesday surveying the channel of
the Nemaha river, for the drain
age company, preparatory to
straightening the channel of that
stream. They commenced at a
government stake near the old
burnt tree this side of "clay hill"
northeast of town, then over to
the Missouri river, to get the
right starting point we under
stand, then back to the railroad
and along the right-of-way to the
Nemaha river, and then up that
stream. Few knew of the exist
ence of the old government sur
vey stake which these surveyors
took for their starting point.
A Cat Hatches a Chicken
Steve Colerick's children, when
collecting the eggs, had several
times reported to their mother
that their old cat was on a nest
under the corncrib. One day last
week Mrs. Colerick heard a little
chicken yeeping and on search
ing found it in the nest where
the cat had been seen so often,
and as none of the hens were
setting, to the cat must belong
the honor of hatching the chick
en. She probably thought the
hens were so busy laying eggs
that they could not properly at
tend to the duties of hatching
the chickens, and thought to re
lieve them of this part of their
duties.
Recently the Edwards & Brad
ford Lumber Co. advertised that
they would give a fine oak rocker
to the person purchasing the lar
gest amount of goods for cash at
the Nemaha store between March
28 and April 25. Alf Rowen
won the prize and is well pleased
with the handsome rocker he re
ceived. The company also had a
free guessing contest during the
same time on the number of
kernels of popcorn in a quart jar,
offering a fancy nickle plate cof
fee pot, an enamel four-quart
Berlin kettle and a white enamel
meat platter as prizes for the
first, second and third closest
guesses. There were 5853 ker
nels in the jar. R. I. Brown won
the first prize, his guess being
5804. Chas. Devorss was next
with 5790, and John Reed third
with 6050.

MAJORS FOR Til 13 SENATE
Lincoln Star.
Oncof the interesting political
announcements of the week just
closed comes from Peru, Neb., to
the effect that Thomas J. Majors
intends to try for election to the
next state senate. Some politi
cal pyrotechnics may be expected
if this proves to be true, for
there is no other man in Nebras
ka who can draw more fire, or,
on the other hand, command a
stronger measure of support from
his friends than the picturesque
"Tom" Majors of Peru.
Mr. Majors was for years in
the thick of all political fights in
this state. He had a few distin
guished enemies who made things
hum whenever he sought prefer
ment, and no doubt has fallen
heir to the enmity of some of
those who represent the foes of
other years. Majors is a fighter,
and in the state senate he would
be one of the commanding fig
ures. -The most attractive fea
ture of his candidacy is that it
will help to make merry a cam
paign that might otherwise lack
lively incidents. Majors running
for the state senate will mean
busy times, not only in his com
munity, but in all parts of the
state where both his good friends
and uncompromising enemies
live.
We recently received through
the kindness of Senator Burkett
a copy of the government publi
cation on "Diseases of Horses."
It is a valuable document.

first, imagine a girl who has looked
forward to a proposal from infancy;
then the auspicious moment the auto
