A complaint was filed last Tuesday
In Justice Golden’s court at O’Neill

liquors in the>illage of Atkinson with
out a state license. A warrant was
issued and placed in Constable Wel
ler’s hands who closed up Mr. Moeller’s
place of business and took him to
O’Neill Wednesday morning for a
hearing. The village board refused
Mr. Moeller a saloon license this
spring and he maintained that he had
a right to dispose of his goods under
the right of a wholesale license but
our village board differed with him
and resulted in invoking the services
of the county attorney and the matter
will be determined by the courts.
During the thunder storm Monday
evening lightning struck the residence
of Ed Purdy setting it on Are; a heavy

damage to the building. Mrs. Purdy
and her son were in the house at the
time and Mrs. Purdy had a very nar
row escape from serious injury, she
being struck on the arm with the
deadly bolt which burned the sleeve
of her dress and ran down into a coal
scuttle which she was carrying at the
time, giving her a bad shock, from
which it took her some time to re
cover. The interior of the house was
not damaged only to the extent of
breaking a few dishes in a cupboard
which stood on the opposite side of
the room from which the lightning
bolt entered.—The Graphic.

IN THE NITRATE COUNTRY.
InAnntry of the Barren, l)u*ty Des
erts of South America.
In his “Commercial Traveler In South
America” Frank Wlborg writes: "We
stopped at a number of the nitrate
towns—Plsagua, Iqulque, Autofagasta
—and I visited some of the mills, or
officlnas. In order to see something of
the Industry. Deposits of the crude
nitrate of soda, called here ‘caliche,’
are found in the pampa, or rolling pla
tenu, beyond the first range of foot
hills. In some places this plateau Is
but ten miles from the coast, In others
as far as fifty miles. The pampa Is an
utterly barren desert. On the surface
there Is nothing to tempt the heart of
man, but a few feet down lies the ni
trate stratum. This presents much the
appearance of rock salt and varies In
color, according to the purity of the
deposit, from a whitish tint to a dark
gray. The upper earth Is blown away
with dynamite, and then the caliche is
dug out with pick and shovel, loaded on
iron carts and carried up to the mills.
“Here the caliche Is first broken into
small pieces by heavy crushers and
then put into large boiling vats. Inside
these vats are colls of steam pipes, by
means of which the temperature can be
regulated accurately. Sea water is
poured In, and the caliche is boiled for
a certain time. The liquid solution that
results Is drawn off Into settling vats,
which are exposed to the open air and
the sun. Evaporation is rapid, and the
pure nitrate of soda soon begins crys
tallizing and settling to the bottom.
After this has gone on for some time
the remaining liquid is drawn off and
the crust of nitrate Is scraped from the
sides and bottom of the vat and thor
oughly dried In the sun. Then it Is
graded according to quality and packed
for shipment In 100 pound sacks.
“Most of the nitrate exported Is used
as a fertilizer, but a part goes to the
manufacture of powder and high ex
plosives. The nitrate towns are even
barer and drier and less Inviting than
most of the other bare, dry towns of
the coast. To some of them fresh wa
ter Is brought In pipes from a distance
of more than 100 miles. Before the day
of these pipes It used to be sold In the
streets by the gallon. That water even
now, though not scarce, yet is not plen
tiful, Is perhaps some excuse for the
awful dust that blows everywhere.”
THE DEVIL’S CODE.
of a Monk, Satan and a Quick
NlfU’a Work.
Stockholm’s public library contains a
wonderful work which Is called “The
Devil’s Code” and which. In addition
to Its extraordinary name, Is said to be
the biggest manuscript In the world.
Every letter Is most beautifully drawn,
and the magnitude of the work Is so
great that It seems Impossible for any
single monk to have done It.
The story of the origin of the manu
script, however, not only gives It as
the work of one man, but also states It
to be the work of a single night The
story runs as follows:
“A poor monk had been condemned
to death, but was told mockingly by
his Judges that If he was able to copy
the whole ‘Code’ between darkness and
dawn he would be saved. Belying up
on the Impossibility of the task, those
who sentenced him furnished him with
the original copy of the ‘Code,’ with
pen, Ink and parchment and left him.
“Death must have been as little liked
in the middle ages as it Is now, for the
monk, forgetting the hopelessness of
his task, commenced It Before long,
however, he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions,
and, fearing a cruel and horrible death,
he Invoked the aid of the prince of
darkness, promising to surrender his
soul If he were assisted In the task.
“The devil kindly obliged by appear
ing on the spot, accepted the contract
and sat down to the work, and next
morning *The Devil’s Code1 was finish
ed, the monk being found dead. The
copying clerk from the Infernal re
gions presumably fled away with the
poor man’s soul as soon as the wicked
compact was finished.” — Pearson’s
Weekly.
Embarrassing.
A New York Judge, speaking of a
mistake that had been made, said: "It
might have been embarrassing—as em
barrassing as the position of a young
man of Toledo whom I heard about the
other day. He had been calling now
and then on a young lady, and one
night as he sat In the parlor waiting
for her to come down her mother en
tered the room Instead and asked him
In a very grave, stern way what his
Intentions were. He turned very red
and was about toretammer some Inco
herent reply when suddenly the young
lady called dbwn.from the bead of the
stairs, ‘Mamma, mamma, that is not
the one!’ ”
Remembered the Text.
A little Topeka girl came home from
church the other day and was asked
what the minister’s text was. “I know
It all right,” she asserted. “Well, re
peat It,” her questioner demanded.
“Don’t be afraid and I will get you a
bedquilt,” was the astonishing answer.
Investigation proved that the central
thought of the sermon had been, “Fear
not, and I will send you a comforter.”
—Kansas City Journal.
End of Hla Dream.
“I thought you said you were going
to have a den In your new house.”
"Yes, I did expect to, but after It
had gone so far that we couldn’t
change things my wife discovered that
she would need another-closet”—Chica
go Record-Herald.
A great lie Is like a great fish on dry
land; It may fret and fling and make a
frightful bother, but It cannot hurt
tou. You have only to keep,still and it
frill die of Itself.—Crabbe.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years
Of Torture.
For more than twenty years Mr. J.
B. Massey, of 3322 Clinton St. Minnea
polis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en
dured during this time is beyond com
prehension. Nothing gave him any
permanent relief until he used Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm. One application
of the liniment releived the pain and
make sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected a perman
ent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try a 25-cent
bottle of Pain Balm and see for your
selt how quickly it releives the pain.

It Is Dangerous To Neglect a Cold.
How cften do we hear it remarked:
“It’s only a cold,” and a few days lat
er learn that the man is on his back
with pneumonia. This is of such com

slight, should not be disregarded.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result in
pneumonia, and has gained its great
popularity and extensive sale by its
prompt cures of this most common ail
ment. It always cures and is pleasant
to take. For sale by Pixley & Hanley.
