Snell, the Ashland miller, w as in the city Monday on business, and in company of Prof. Wortman gave the ' Journal a pleasant call. Mr. Snell has lived in Ashland about forty years, and was one of the prime movers in having that corner (of then, Cass county) cut off and annexed to Saun ders. Mr. Snell is a rock-ribbed dem ocrat, and is well known to many of the pioneer settlers of Cass county. lien Dill, who went through a bridge south of Murray some time ago, was here Friday and called at the Jour nal office. Ben says he didn't know he was hurt at first, it all happened so quick. The wounds in his leg has healed sutliciently to allow him to get about slowly. His shoulder is giving him the greatest trouble, the liga ments being badly sprained. The engine has been taken out and re paired. I Joe Wiles, living three miles south of town had one of his line driving horses seriously injured Friday by barbed wire. Oni of Mr. Wiles' em ployes drove the animal through a gap in the fence where the wire was down and the horses leg caught in the wire, making a terrible gash in one of the hind hocks. Dr. Barnes was call ed and had to take six stitches to close the wound. Pure carelessness on the part of the driver is in evidence. Two men were disputing over their respective churches. Finally one called a neighbor who was passing and asked his opinion as to w hich was the only church in which to be saved. "Well" said he. "my son and I have hauled wheat to the same mill nigh onto forty years. Now there are two roads that lead from our place to the mill one's the valley road, t'other takes over the hill. And never yet, friends, has the miller asked me which road 1 took, but he always asks: "Is your w heat good?" The county institute just closed at Weeping Water is certainly a great big feather in Superintendent Wort- man's cap. Last Saturday morning while going from Weeping Water to Lincoln, a Journal reporter overheard a number of teachers that had attend ed the institute commenting upon the professor's manner of conducting an institute. They all complimented him very highly in all his ot'icial acts, with the exception of one v,no thought "he was too strict," which objection is highly commendable by the people and everyone favorable to good schools. Mrs. A. II. Smith accompanied Mrs E. J. Sullivan of Omaha, to her home this morning. The Sullivan's are camping at the cottage at Lake Mana wa. Mrs. Smith will remain with them the rest of the week, and be joined by Mr. Smith next Saturday. A. F. Seybert, of Cedar Creek, was down today to see Dr. Cook, and called and renewed for the Journal. Andy has an injured arm, caused from scald ing, which renders him entirely un able to work. It is a very serious matter just at the present time when there is so much to do on the farm. Chris Koehnke and Jack Murray came up from Murray yesterday where they have been busy with carpenter contract work. They are just linish ing up on the Brown residedce there. Next they will have the carpenter work on Col. Jenkins' business block, and also on the Jenkins farm residence west of town which will be begun in about ten days. A supper will be given by St. Paul's Evangelical church from 6 to 8 p. m. next Friday evening at the home of Martin Steppart, '51 miles west of this city. All who desire to attend will be conveyed to and from the farm free of charge and the big supper will be only 2o cents. Those desiring to take ad vantage of this liberal offer please as semble at St. paurs cnurcn previous to the hour set for the supper. It is a good chance for big parties of young people. Mrs. John McNurlin and Mrs. C. N. Beverage returned from their visit to Virginia last Thursday. They have been absent six weeks, and report a most pleasant time among their many friends in the Old Dominion. The trip was most tiresome, butaside from that, they enjoyed the trip very much to and fro. Mr. McNurlin was notifi ed of their arrival and came down on the Schuyler to meet Mrs. McNurlin. Mr. Beverage was also notified and he came in for Mrs. Beverage. Both wear a different appearance than the day they left the smiles or both gentle men reach from car to ear. ! Over in an Iowa town they have a mayor who is a trust-buster of the most approved and up-to-date type. Learning that preachers of the town had formed a combination on the mar rying business, he announced that he would perform that service for all dwellers in the town free of charge in order to "bust" the trust. We don't know that there is any such trust in Plattsmouth, but if there j is we would advise our good look ing mayor to try a similar way of breaking it up. The only trouble is, he is a candidate for matrimony him self, and the question arises, in case of a failure to "bust the trust," he would be compelled to go away from home when he gets ready to get "spliced." Mrs. II. D. Travis of Plattsmouth, Neb., who was visiting with the Fel lows family for several days, returned Monday to Deadwood and Central City where she will remain a day or two be fore starting on her homeward jour ney. She will stop off at Hot Springs and Grand Island, Neb. This was Mrs. Travis' first trip to the Black Hills, and she was greatly impressed with the scenery and country in general, and particularly with Belle Fourche and its possibilities. Mrs. Travis is a writer of ability and at the request of the editors of two Plattsmouth dailies, she sent to one a letter descriptive of the Black Hills and to the other one describing Belle Fourche and the irri gation ditch project. Belle Fourche Northwest Post. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: "Last year 1 suffered for three months with a summer cold so dis tressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescrip tion did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's noney and Tar and it quickly cured rne. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." F. G.
