Up ill South Bend p ecinol tho wo, ves have become so inieii that the f u mes s have o ganized a hunting club to rid the commuuiiy of some of them. They met at F.iirland school house and elected a president, secretary and a full corps of captains. The organi zation is known as the Fairiand Hunt ing club and the first round-up was a very successful one. It tooK place on Monday and there were five wo' ves in the ring, three of which were killed and an other crippled. There was a large turnout. Even the ladies came out to where the final round up was made, which was very exciting and interesting to all. The club is to have another round-up New Year 's day. One of the rules of the club is tht no rifles or revolvers are allowed in the hunt. All game to be soid to the highest bidder. The proceeds of the sale are for tho purpose of raising funds to advertise the hunts. The wolves sold at 50 cents per head Mon dry. There is to bo a new free silver pa per started in Ashland, known as the Saunders County Journal. The last of the election bets we have heard of is between Harry Green and Albert Keitle. The wager was that if McKinley was elected, Keitle was to wheel Green to Ashland in a wheelbarrow, and if Bryan was the winner Green was to wheel Keitle. So next Saturday at 10 a. m. Air. Keitle starts from Fairiand school house with Air. Green. The whole neighborhood is goiiiir to turn out and escort Air. Green on his merry ride of five miles. Itui-klfii'8 Arnica Salve.

Is Decreasing In Value. J. V. Egenborger has puschased the Ed Oliver farm southwest of town, consisting of 240 acres, at $45 per acre This is the lowest price paid for land so close to town in years, and poos to prove what The News has claimed about the greart shrinkage in land values in tnis county, 'ihere never was any reason why farm land here should sell for $50 or $60 per acre, as with no sort of cultivation could it earn fair interest on such values A Husking Match Wants Ten Thousand. J. S.

Mr. Carnes is ceived by falling off of the sidewalk willing to back his judgment on the one hundred and fifty feet east of the matter with money, and we under- J bridge across South Table Creek, on stand that on Saturday night last he I Fourth corso. The time that the peti- olTered to put ud $20 against the same tion alleges the accident occurred was amount of Air. Berryman's money, that he could beat him in a match of four hours husking. It is said that Berry man refused this offer but offered to wager $50 on eight hours work. Ihere was no match made at the time but we should like to see these gentle men" try a friendly husking match for, say six hours. This would be splitting the difference and looks to us to be fair. Weeping Water Republican. Shedd Will He the Captain. The members of the university foot ball team met yesterday to elect a captain for the season of '97. vThe meeting was called to order by Cap tain Thorpe, with the following mem beis present: Thorpe, Shedd, Pack ard, Cook, Corby, Garrett, Mil ford, Turner, Hansen, Pearse, Wiggins, Benedict, Jones. Keller and Manager Oury. On the call for nominations for cap tain, George Shedd was nominated. Alilford moved that the nominations be closed. This motion carried ana Shedd was declared unanimously elected. In a short speech he thanked the boys for the honor conferred upou him, and expressed his confidence that with the co-operation of all the players, next year Nebraska would un doubtedly have a pennant winning team.

The petition further states that the plaintiff fell on his back and bruised his spine and dioidered his liver. The accident caused him to de sist from work for three weeks and it is for this and the worry he has had since the accident that he probably asks the citizens to dive down into their pockets and shake these "pros perous" times and hand over to him, because the sidewalk committee did not put his sidewalk in good condition and a rail on each side Nebraska City News. Stands at the Head. Aug J. Bogel, the leading drugais-t of Shreyeport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is the only thing that cures my cough, and it is the best sel ler I have. J. F. Cambell, merchant of Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is all that is claimed for it; it never fails, and is a sure cure for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I cannot say enough for its merits. " Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment. It has been tried for a quarter of a century, and today stands at the head.

Posev finally captu ed the anim .1 and lied it down, when, with compass saw, he cut off the tusks until thev didn't show at all, and the next man who came along purchased the "ten month pig" whieb had seen several frtsty winters and for a few hours Posev was hamv. His con science that night, however, goaded him until he could only sleep in fitful moments. He goes on duty in tho B. & Al. yards at 7 in tho morning, but he grew so restive that a quarter to five he got up, dressed himself and to the consternation of the yard force, came to work. His actions were so extraordinary that the boys demanded an explanation, and in order to fully ease bis mind, iu a spirit of con fidence he told them all about it. He felt greatly relieved aud since that morning he has assumed his old time gayety of manner, and really seems himself again, and when he sees the man who boughi the hog we expect he will make him a nice Christ mas present. Posey is all right and may be a church bishop yet if he keeps on. The Spanish Diplomats Opinion.
