worse than It was led to believe by
the reports received Saturday morn
ing. From Mr.' Vallery it Is learned
that his damage will approximate
twelve to fifteen hundred dollars.
The fire made practically complete
destruction of his dwelling, hardly a
board being left standing while the
loss to his household goods was also
very heavy. The contents of two
bed rooms were completely destroyed
and the remainder of the property
which was gotten out was badly
broken up and damaged In handling.
The fire started from a defective flue
presumbably the result of the work
of the winds of Thursday night and
Friday and as It broke out when
the high northwest gale was still on,
there was little which could be done
to stop It. It Is a very severe loss
upon this excellent citizen and he has
the entire sympathy of his many
friends and neighbors In his misfor
tune.
For a time it was feared he was
without insurance as he was unable
to locate his Insurance policy which
was In the Cass County Farmers
Mutual Company and amounting to
$800. There was some question as
to whether It was still in force or
had been allowed to expire.. For
tunately the policy has been located.
It was discovered that in carrying
the goods from the house, the policy
was taken out and the high wind

Lincoln, a name which stands out blew it into the road some distance
pre-eminently In a conflict which not
only shook to the very foundation of
our own country, but was felt like a
mighty earthquake throughout the
nations of the earth, Lincoln, the
man, who, when the battle for a
principle which concerned all man
kind, was on, guided It so wisely to
a triumphant conclusion.
The life of Abraham Lincoln was
dedicated to all humanity, Ignoring
all selfishness and laboring against
oppression and wrong, a far-seeing
statesman, a man of the common peo
ple, close to the soil, foremost on
the nation's banner of Illustrious cit
izens, a leader of the nation In her
hour of peril, and with whose blood

the Jury found a verdict for Carroll

at Brady, Neb. Ben has recently
taken out a patent upon a neck yoke
which is guaranteed to prevent the
destruction of buggies and possible
loss of life by reason of the neck
yoke coming down when the tugs of
an animal becomes unhitched. The
invention is not exact! v a nprk vnlro
ng which goes over the end of the
tongue locking the neckyoke to it.
The device is a very simple one but
It Is quite effective. After the neck
yoke has been placed upon the
tongue there Is no way by which ft
can be taken off unlass it Is turned
upside down, an almost impossible
state for It to get In. Owing to the
extreme slmpleness of the device and
the small size of It, the cost of man
ufacture is limited and the device
can be placed upon the market for
from seventy-five cents to one dol
lar each. It is of heavy metal and
will practically never wear out. Mr.
Schleicher has entered his applica
tion for a patent and the device is
thus protected from infringement.'

will net him a large sum of money in
