Jag on Main street and whom he
cast Into donjon keep to sober up.
County Attorney Ramsey prosecut
ed and this morning Hendrlcksen
I faced the court in fear and tremb
ling. It is believed the trembling
was due In large measure to the ef
fects of John Barleycorn, although
it might have been fear of condign
punishment. Anyway, the court gave
B. ten days in the county Jail, the
last five on bread and water. B
had considerable merriment while
he was parading the Btreet yester
day. He went up to one man and
gravely Inquired where he could find
the Presbyterian church, his condl
tlon indicating that his acquaintance
with churches was some limited
Farther on he met another man and
facetiously inquired which corner he
could get a street car on., It was
such frivolous work as this which
caused his incarceration in the noi
some cell so celebrated in song and
poesy.
Kills n Strange Pigeon.
Charles Ryhart, one of the good
men of Louisville, came down this
morning on the Schuyler to attend
to some business matters in the city
I Mr. Ryhart had with him something
which is novel and out of the way.
It Is the foot of a pigeon which Aug
ust Kell killed several days since.
Mr. Kell concluded he wanted a pig
eon dinner and, taking his shot gun,
fired into a flock of the birds on his
I premises. When they came down he
; found that one had a silver ring
around Its foot. Investigation by Mr.
,Kell and Mn Ryhart revealed the
I fact that the bird was of a different
variety from the ordinary pigeon
and according to all descriptions, it
must have been a carrier pigeon.
Around one of its legs was a metal
band which had been soldered to
, gether after being fastened about the
jleg. This band bore the following
inscription ' D Y 1906312," Indi
cating that it was a carrier pigeon
released In 1906. The gentlemen
greatly regretted having killed the
.bird as they would have been very
anxious to have taken it alive and
found its owner. There is not the
slightest clue as to how it came to
bo with Mr. Kell's flock. Mr. Ryhart
returned to his home this afternoon
on the Schuyler.
v lldwiirtl Whit Worse.-
A message was received In' the
city this morning from the bedside
of Edward White at Wllklnsburg,
Ta., announcing thut he was im
proving and that he was getting along
nicely. This is welcome news to the
many friends of this estimable young
man and It Is to be hoped that bis
improvement continues and he may
soon bo well on the highway to
ward recovery.
Since the above was in print an
other message has been received stat
ing that Mr. White is much worse
and that ho is not expected to re
cover. This messngo came in since
noon and has wiped out the good
feeling occasioned by his reported
improvement. It is hoped the mes
sage is in error and that he may
even yet recover.
Mrs. J. B. Hlgley is spending this
afternoon with her daughter, Mrs.
Grant Cotner, in Council Bluffs, be

Mo. Pacific Improvement.
For the past several days the Mis
souri Pacific has had two large for
ces of men working at this place,
and even though the weather has
been bad much progress has been
made, and two concrete foundations
for two water tanks are completed
and the rest of the work will be
finished as soon as the weather will
permit. One very noticeable thing
will be a new test tank which is be
ing built here at a big expense. A
great deal of trouble has been ex
perienced In using muddy water in
the engines, and the company pro
poses to do away with that by hav
ing a tank in which to test and puri
fy the water before using. After this
process has been gone through with
the water will be pumped into the
other tank ready for use. It is in
deed a valuable improvement over
the old system.
The gang of Greeks which have
been at work laying the new side
tracks and extending the Lincoln
branch track, has been moving at a
good rate and the tracks will be
ready for use in a short time. Un

A Viflqiie Watch Chain.

ing from Vermillion, S. D., where he
ha3 been farming for sometime past
He expects to remain here visiting
with relatives and friends for sev
eral days, after which he intends
to depart for LeGrand, Oregon, near
which place he is interested in land.
Mr. Parker will be Joined here by a
friend' from Vermillion and together
they will make the trip to Oregon,
He has something in the way of a
watch chain which is quite unique.
It consists of a string of German
coins neatly and substantially bound
together with gold links. There are a
number fodlfferent pieces of coin in
the chain and it is something quite
novel in construction. The work of
uniting the coins was done by a lo
cal Jeweler and it is a neat piece
of work. Mr. Parker is well known
here, where he lived for a number
of years before leaving for . South
Dakota.
In County Court. '
In county court this morning a
protest was filed by a son of tue
late Silas V. Gerard, of Weeping Wa
ter by his first wife, against admlt
ed what purports to be his last will
and testament to probate. The peti
tion is filed by Attorneys S. O. Sals
bury of Lincoln and Bryon Clark of
this city and recites as a ground for
disallowing the will that the same
was written by one of the heirs who
also witnessed it and that the testator
was of unsound mind when he exe
cuted it it he did execute it, and fur
ther that the testator never signed
the will. The document is In the
handwriting of Miss Rossle Gerard
who also witnessed it and who is a
beneficiary under Its terms. Judge

! 1 7th. C. E. Tefft appears as attor
ney for the estate.

lh) Christmas Shopping Early.
The Fremont Herald offers the fol
lowing excellent suggestions to
Christmas shoppers. In fact they
are so appropriate for the occasion
that we give them to the readers of
the Journal:
Selecting the Christmas gifts
ought to be the meat blessed part of
the giving.
f
It Is in the selection of the gift
that the loving, sympathetic thought
is given.
And this is the soul of the gift.
AH else 13 meaningless dead matter.
Fitting gifts can be selected only
at leisure.
There must be time to think of
the ones for whom the gifts are
chosen. '
There must be opportunity to ex
amine many things and from them
choose wisely.
In the crowds of later Christmas
buyers all wil be confusion, rush and
grab. In the pushing Jam it will be
impossible to think clearly, to In
spect articles with any care or to
choose .with any discrimination.
Besides, the best things will be
gone before the rush beings.
The wise Christmas buyer is the
early one and carries away the
prizes.
The later ones find only the
things which have been much hand
led and often rejected.
The, thoughtful few do their
Christmas shopping in the early
morning.
It is then the stores are in order
and the sales people fresh and cheer
ful.
It is then selections can be made
with care and comfort.
' Later in the day the unthinking,
pushing, grabbing crowds rush In,
the sales people are overrun, and all
is confusion.
Buying under such conditions is
torture. Selecting gifts under such
conditions is little less than Insult.
The Christmas spirit ought not to
be confined to the giving of gifts. It
should show Itself in consideration
for the overworked girls behind the
counters.
If because of the rush, they can
not give you good service, the fault
is all your own. You have no need
to go at the rush times.
The wise merchant has his Christ
mas goods In early. The wise buyer
is on hand as soon as they are on
display.

Two Hundred and Two Acre
for Which He Paid $18, 180,
, or $90 Per Acre
A large real estate transaction wan
closed yesterday through the agency
of Will Oliver, who represented J. C. '
Kimler of Plattevihe, Wis. Mr. Kim- i
ler has been the owner of the Noah
Clemmons farm south of this city
and desired to dispone of it. Mr.
Oliver made the deal with Fred
Ramge, who yesterday purchased the
farm for the sum of $90 per acre.
As there is 202 acres of land in the
tract the entire deal involves a con
sideration of $18,180. At that price
the farm is regarded as very cheap1
when the price being paid for other
land in the county is taken into con
sideration. The farm is on of the
best in the county and that it wUi
speedily advance in value is assured.
The farm will be occupied by Mr.
Ramge's two sons, Fred, Jr. and A.
O., who both now reside at Havo-
lock. Mr. Klmler was well pleased
with the sale which netted him a
tidy sum over what he had paid for
the farm several years ago, whU
Mr. Ramge is equally well pleased
with the outcome of the deal and is
satisfied that he has gotten a good
farm at a bargain. Mr. Oliver who
managed the deal and brought the
parties together is likewise well sat
isfied, so that every one is well sat
isfied all around.
