Last Friday evening as Jno. Bourke
was about to start home, he missed
some groceries he had a few minutes
before placed in his buggy. The loss
was not much, but It Is an outrage on

either the work of a coming jail bird
or one that ought to have been In long
ago.
The city mill is loaded up with
wheat and have hardly a sack of flour
on hand. The demand for flour keeps
them running overtime, and im
possible to have any ahead. One un
usual thing at this season of the year
Is the number of farmers threshing
wheat. Wm. Jameson, Wallace Phil-
pot and J. W. Phil pot were hauling
wheat last week right from the
thresher. Other years the crop would
have been threshed long ago.

Margaret, the little six-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Don-
elan, has had more than her share of
serious trouble for one so young. She
was just getting over the measles when
she was taken with appendicitis, and
grew worse so rapidly that Dr. Davis
of Omaha was called in consultation
with Dr. Rickard, last Wednesday.
They thought best at that time to
wait, hoping to pull her through with
out an operation, but she grew worse
and Dr. Davis came again on Friday
evening and that night they operated,
not removing the appendix, however,
on account of the existing condition.
But the pus was removed and the little
patient came out of the chloroform
nicely and has made marked improve
ment ever since.

detection' threw a stone through one
of the large plate glass windows in the
front of Frans' store Sunday night,
knocking a hole through it at the
bottom, and cracking it the whole
length, 78 inches, which will eventually
cause the buying of a new one at the
cost of about 35. If the party who
did it was seeking revenge it was
certainly not a manly way In which to
get It, and It is probable that it may
yet prove a very expensive bit of fun.
So much petty stealing has been go
ing on here In town that some of the
citizens determined to put a stop to it
if possible. Most of the stealing has
been of goods from the wagons and
buggies of farmers who come in the
evening to do their trading, and last
Saturday night a trap was set for the
thieves. I'ackages were placed in a
buggy at the east side of Upton's store
and several men hid near by to watch
It. About lOo'clocka fellow sneaked
to the buggy and began loading his
arms with goods. The watchers
sprang from their hiding place, but
the thief was too quick for them,
d roping the packages and starting on
a race for liberty with several men
close behind him. lie succeeded in
eluding his pursuers by dodging
throngh the alleys, but some were so
near him that they are almost positive
as to his identity and that he was a
resident oflthls village. A close watch
was made for his return during the
night, but he failed to show up, and
It Is hoped the communty is forever
rid of such a character. The evidence
is just a little short of positive as to
the thief's Identity, otherwise the
Ledger would not hesitate to use his
name in connection with this report.

Crackers With
A Kerosene
They are known as the common bulk soda cracker. All
grocers don't have them in this flavor some of them do.
It's no fault of the grocerman. He sells bulk soda crackers
because a few customers still buy them as a matter of habit. He
also sells kerosene.
Between measuring out kerosene and putting bulk biscuit in
a bag things will get mixed.
If you do not fancy the kind with the kerosene flavor ask for
Unoodo Discuit in the In-er-seal Package with red and white
seal.
Made with the utmost care; clean bakeries, clean
bakers, best material. Packed in an air tight, dust
proof package that does all that it was made to do
keeps the biscuit fresh, clean and dry. They reach
you in perfect condition just as they left the oven.
