Mr. Taylor had been receiv ing $65 per month and asked for $S0, which request was refused by the board, whereuon he resigned Edward Gess filled the place a week after which Mr. Mclntyre. who is giving excellent satisfaction, was elected at $70.

Sheldon of Nehawka. Mrs. Sheldon was formerly Miss Florence Todd and has a host of friends in and around Weeping Water. Claude . Canaday who 'recently graduated from the State Farm school has rented a rarm of Ray Wiles five miles northeast of town and . was taking our furniture from the C. H. Gibson store Monday, which he told our reporter was a bachelor outfit. However, in the re porter's judgment the furniture was of a quality that would necessitate a more skilled hand to care for and' we are quite sure Claude's good judgment would prompt him to buy the best of furniture even if he had to get a housekeeper to care for it. . An important business change on Main street took place late Saturday night when Crozier Bros, sold their large merchandise stock and busi ness to Johnson brothers (Andrew and Mogens). The deal came as a surprise to the public and the change was a sudden one indeed. ( irr-a TO-NIGHT-1 J TO-NIGHT I rl Tomorrow Alright F. G. FEICKE & CO. Keys to the store were turned over Saturday night and the new owners opened the place of business Monday morning under the firm name of Johnson Bros? General Merchandise. The members of the new firm are weir known tb most of our readers and are two young men of excellent qualities and business experience. The junior member, Mogens, was for merly with his uncle, Hans Johnson, In 'the mercantile business and is now living on a farm south of town which he will have to make ar ragements to get away from before he can devqte his entire time to the store. -Andrew, the senior member also had some experience in the gro cery line before taking a position as clerk at Boone & Davis' store, where he served the public for a number of years prior to moving to Chappel, where he has been employ ed hy a large mercantile firm until moving back to Weeping Water about a week ago. Hence the new men are not strangers to our city or in experienced atrthe business, but are fully competent and capable of hand ling the enormous business estab lished and carried on by Crozier Bros. t EAGLE I Beacon . Mrs. Ed Betts Is able to be out on crutches after a couple of weeks with a lame foot. v Mjs. Kate Oberle was taken tc Lincoln last week and underwent an operation on one of her feet.

Little Ruth Elenor Umland, the nfant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil iam A. , Umland, died last Friday norning at 7:3J, only nine days af er her advent into this world.

He secured a number of icmbership requests from here, and e informs the Beacon that when e have 11 members, if desired, he will institute a .post at this place. Something like ten or a dozen of hese have already been secured and he probabilities are that Eagle will oast of a good strong post of this vorthy organization in a very short ime, as there are more than a suf 3cient number hereabouts to make t go. ' The Agriculture class, under the Lirection of Miss Spence, has been esting seed corn lately and have ound some excellent seed. The lighest test was 98 per cent, others anging down from this as low as 50 per cent. This corn was all, a .'air sample of that grown around Sagle, having been brought by the pupils, and proves that farmers hould be exceedingly careful in be 'selection of the corn they use .'or seed this spring. Friday of last week all .pupils of ;he school were examined for defects jf eye ear, teeth, nose and throat. complete tabulation of the results las not yet been made, but the de fects will reach a high percentage. vVe are safe' in saying that 40 per ;ent of the children have defective teeth; 20 per cent have eye trouble; 10 per cent ear trouble and about 5 er cent nose and throat trouble.

SAYS HANDS WERE ALMOST USELESS Rheumatism and Other Troubles Began to Disappear After Taking Tanlac. . "There's no mistake about Tanlac being a real -medicine, for nothing but -a real medicine could do what it has for me,'v said Mrs. Hattie Campbell, of 1808 Grace St., Omaha, Nebr. "Beginning with indigestion four years ago" continued Mrs. Campbell, "my troubles multiplied till my life became one of constant suffering. Everything I would eat soured on my stomach and almost tortured me to, death. The gas would press on my heart at times so I could hard ly breathe and I Would almost smother. I suffered from heartburn and had nervous sick headaches and was so dizzy that I would almost fall every time I stooped over. I had rheumatism in my hands so bad that my fingers were all bent over, and at times they would become so numb as to be almost useless. My appe tite was poor and I fell off from one hundred and thirty pounds to ninety-four and nobody will ever know how much I suffered. "I was in an awful fix, and while I tried everything recommended I found no relief until my sister and some of my friends got me to take Tanlac. While on my second bottle my appetite returned, I could eat most anything, I wanted and my other troubles began to leave me. I have regained sixteen pounds of my !ost weight and am now able to eat anything I want without suffering from gas or indigestion afterwards. My hands and fingers have become upple again and I hardly notice my rheumatic pain in them. Those headaches and dizzy spells are gone nd I have improved so much that I hardly" feel like the same person." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. G. Fricke and Company and the eading druggist in every town. I . ELMWOOD I Leader-Echo George Penterman, Emil Rosenow tnd Herman Fleischman are in Col rado, near Burlington, this week, ooking at land.

On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gustin returned froirf Cali fornia, where they spent the winter. They report that they enjoyed their sojourn in the balmy climate there. Frank's friends accused him of being responsible for the cold snap on Wednesday, but all he can say is that he came home a little too soon. Last Saturday morning as the Missouri Pacific flight engine was doing some switching on the side track one of hte cars and the tender o the, engine was partially derail ed. It seems that there was .'a sharp ?urve in the switch and the force against this was sufficient to tear the rail loose partly dejailing a car and tearing out several rails. Things were quickly gotten back in shape again and the freight on its way again with a short "delay. On Tuesday evening a caucus was held at the city hall for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the city board. L. A. Tyson 'was made secretary of the meeting.

The funeral was held Sat urday and interment was made in Graceland cemetery in Omaha. . The meeting of the commercial club last night revealed the very pleasing pet that while not a great deal of progress has been made on incorporation of the village, the committee appointed to map out the boundry lines of said incorporation limits are meeting with practically no opposition. There are no difficult problems to solve and it would seem that everybody realizes the great importance of incorporation and is willing to concede certain points and concessions in order that we may de rive the benefits. A small delay in getting the petition ready to 6ign was due to the fact that two or three parties had not yet decided whether or n.ot they wanted to be annexed and the committee is wait ing for them to decide. No' doubt but they will decide one way or the other quickly, when it will then be only a matter of circulating the petition. B. R. F.
