There was quite a family reunion at the old home place, as the home of Warren Wiley is the old Frank Young home stead. Ted Barrows departed lat Satur day for Sioux City, where he has ac cepted a good position with a large implement company of that place. He has not fully made up his mind whether or not he will retain the position, but will give it a trial, and if it proves to his liking he will no doubt remain with the company. Ted is a good implement man. and we predict that he will make good in most anj- branch of the line.

The road west from Murray, on the Oldham hill, has been giving the traveling public lots of trouble these days. The snow drifts into the low places and makes it pretty bad. Ev erybody has had their eyes on the new county commissioner, Crede Harris, for the proper relief here. One of the most enjoyable events of the Christmas times is the hear ing from old time neighbors and friends, who have scattered to all states in the union. Friends here re ceived cards from Mrs. Nellie Allison Lawler, in which she speaks of the success of the northwest and its nu merous advantages. L. H. Puis installed a new Alamo lighting plant at the farm home of Walt Sans a few days ago. Walter is another man who wants everything about his home as convenient as pos- rible, and the electric light became a necessity for the comfort and con venience of the family through the long winter nights. Frank Mrasek is now looking af ter the heavy hauling around his farm work with one of those new up- to-the-minute Fulton trucks that he purchased a few days ago from the Puis agency in Murray. The Richter Bros, have also purchased one of the same make from Mr. Puis and will no doubt find a most convenient place of duty for it in their farm work Dietrich Koester, residing down near Weeping Water, has just com pleted a most modern farm house, and of course this sort of a struc ture would not be complete without an electric light plant, and he has installed one of the popular Alamo plants which he purchased through the Puis agency at Murray. Mr. Kceter is the man who wants every thing up to date, and we are sure that he has a farm home that is just about as convenient as it is possible to make it.

AUBREY DAY MTJNGER, GRANDDAUGHTER OF FORMER OHIO GOVERNOR, SUICIDES IN CINCINNATI. WIFE OF CAPT. A. D. HUNGER Mrs. Munger Was Very Prominent In the Capital City Society. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 30. Mrs. Aubrey Day Muiiger 27 years old, well to do, and a prominent resi dent of Lincoln, Neb., committed suicide here yesterday by leaping from a window of her room at the Grand hotey, falling more than 100 feet to the sidewalk on Fourth street. Mrs. Munger registered at the hotel shortly before her death. Her father, Robert Lucas, her 1-year-old babe, and her aunt, Mrs. Florence Horton, accompanied her. The party came to this city from Florida to consult a specialist in regard to Mrs. Munger, who was suffering from nervous trouble. Shortly after the first meal taken by the party in the hotel Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Horton left Mrs. Munger for a few moments to arrange for a more suitable apartment. When they returned to the room the door was locked and after forcing an en trance they found the room empty. Later Mrs. Munger was found ly ing crushed and dying on the side walk. City patrolmen Weiss and Glindmeyer, who found Mrs. Mun ger, rent her to the city general hospital but she died before the am bulance reached the institution. Her skull and jaw were fractured and she sustained internal injuries. Mrs. Munger was the wife of Capt. A. D. Munger, prominent in army circles, and now attached to an American base hospital at De vonshire, England. She was the granddaughter of Robert Lucas, former governor of Ohio, and wealthy financier. Mrs. Munger Prominent In Capital City Society Lincoln. Dec. 30. Mrs. Arbor Day Munger who ended her life in Cincinnati by jumping from the window of her hotel was prominent in Lincoln society. Both Mrs. Munger and her husband, Capt. A. D. Munger, were graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1914. They were married here in 1915 and spent two years at Brooklyn. X. Y., while her husband completed a post-graduate course in Columbia university. Mrs. Munger was a talented musician and very popu lar in the university. She was 27 years of age. Her father, Robert Lucas, is a prominent ranch owner livins at Pierce, Neb., and formerly served in the Nebraska legislature. Mrs. Munger accompanied her husband to New York City last May when her husband sailed for over seas duty and later returned to Lin coln, but her health alarmed her relatives and her father took her to Florida to spend the winter. She was obsessed with the fear that she would not see her husband again. The change failed to bring any im provement and Mrs. Munger re turned to Lincoln. She was in Cin cinnati for a consultation with a specialist when she ended her life. A telegram to a brother-in-law, Dr. I. C. Munger of this city, stated the body would be brought here to morrow for burial. Mrs. Munger is survived by her husband and an infant daughter. "FLU" HITS INSURANCE COMPANIES HARD AND FORCES SALE OF BONDS Omaha, Dec. 31. The paid death claims of the Woodmen of the World has been $6,000,000 above normal since September 20, 1918, according to President Fraser, when asked what the efTect of the influ enza epidemic had been on that company. "But we have a reserve of $43,000,000." added Mr. Fraser, "so that does not bother us very much, and on December 28 we had, in addition to that, as a checking account in the Omaha banks a bal ance of $2,046,910.10. We are pay ing every claim promptly as it comes in and is approved." Mr. Fraser gives as one of the great reasons for the recent slump in the market price of Liberty bonds the fact that so many, old line and fraternal companies have had to brow their securities on the market to enable them to pay their claims. He said: "They figured on ikA w-i m ol flanih rata in m obinff ' l lie uui uia i ucatu imc; u auantub their purchases of Liberty bonds, HOW ABOUT THAT NEW Heating Stove THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF TO BUY? YOU NEED IT RIGHT NOW and we want to tell you that we have a com plete line to select from. Come in and see them! Let us tell you how money on all kinds w, n Murray, and when the epidemic struck the country they have had to throw them on the market to liquidate their claims. I know one corapnny that recently sold $2,000,000 worth and are now putting $2,000,000 more on the market. Insurance companies have been big buyers- of bonds, not only in the campaigns, but on the open market." Mr. Fraser says in looking over the list cf death claims resulting from the influenza, the ages range from 25 to 39 in practically all cas es. This, he says, represetns the insurable lives, and on which the Insurance companies figure the smallest risk in normal times.
