Forty-three was the exact number
of iish that Lacey McDonald and his

and Harry Gillespie were fishing at
t lie Platte river one day last week,
had to their credit after an hour or
:o with the rod and line.
Still the Mt. Olympus has not
et len launched and it looks like
high time to get the craft into the
.vater. Probably the owners are
wait inp, for Castor and Pollox to
come into conjunction with Mars or
Jupiter before they perform such a
pr'.miLnent undertaking in the history
of sports in and near the Platte
river.
he was fixing up this place and ex
pected to sell it again. Mr. Fuller
had told some of us when we asked
him what he was going to do with
the place that he was going to get
married. "But we knew that he is a
jolly good fellow and likes a joke as
well as anyone, so we let this go in
one ear and out the other. The lat
ter part of the week, however, he
returned and sure enough he was
married and brought his wife home
with him. They were married in
Omaha on Wednesday of last week,
the home of Mrs. Fuller, who was
formerly Mrs. Catherine Logan. Mr.
Fuller has been in business in Elm
wood now going on his third year,
having purchased the Burke & Bed
son store, and has an excellent busi
ness and now that he has purchased
a home and has fixed it up in tip-top
shape and has gotten married we are
quite sure that he will continue bus
iness in Elmwood for many years to
come. He is a good merchant and an
excellent fellow and all are glad to
see him add to the improvement and
interest of our town.

on Lin-wOlii Cars
Emil Kuehn. of Lincoln. was a
visitor in Murdock the fore part of
last week, bringing down a car to
j have an "all-weather" body placed
on it by the enterprising firm o;
i Win. Gehrts. He left tha car and
.came back the latter part of the
week, when it had been completed,
to drive it home. With the change.
Mr. Kuehn now has a car convenient
, for year around equipment, without
entailing nearly as much as the cost
! of a n'ew car. Mr. Gehrts and his
corps of workmen are able to trans-
iorm a used car into a new one. sii

we may say that many things hap
pened which were not on the pro
gram and which were not intended
I to be allowed. During the time when
; interest in the performance was at
j greatest height, and while the peo
ple were busily engaged in looking
'at tho "animals," some one turne-d
a team loose that had boon driven
by a couple from Alvo. leaving the
young folks to get home as best
they could. Either the same party,
or others appropriated three over
coats and an auto robe that had
been thoughtlessly left unprotected
in the cars. A few special pedieo at
a time like this would not come in
amiss.
Gave Easter Program
On account of the bad weather of
Easter day, the program that had
been prepared by the "Mission band''
and little folks of the Sunday school,
lor rendition that day, was postpon
ed until last week when it was given
and listened to by a large and en
thusiastic crowd of people. The pro
gram was very pleasing, telling in
play the story of the need of work
by the missionary band and enthus
ing people to do their best for the
cause for which the little folks are
banded together.

Mr. ami Mrs. A. A. Wallinger are

Last week Homer Metzeloff captur
ed five young coyotes. The little fel
lows were found in a hole under the
reots of a large tree. The nest was

to Wenping Water Sunday morning
to get her little daughter. Dailene,
who has been visiting her grandpar

A short time age) we mentioned
the fact that Spence Beigenrief made
a large shipment ef Carneaux pigeons
and last week he made another ship
ment eif these piaeons amounting to
about $3S. This makes about $76
worth in one month.. These squabs
are mighty fine eating and are serv

Several elays last week we missed
tiur genial merchant and fellow citi
zen. I. J. Fuller. Of course we began
to wonder right away what had be
come eif him. We were curious for
we knew he had bought a home and
had been taking considerable pains
in fixing it up. Many thought that
Ernest Pautsch is having his cel
lar excavateel and made larger to
make room for a furnace which he
will i nt all this summer. Mr. Pautsch
has ejne of the finest homes in town
in the north part ef town, and with
a furnace the family will surely en
joy much comfort next winter when
the thermometer is blow zero.
Henry Wegener and sisters. Misses
Minnie anel Edith, drove te Chalce,
Sunday, to visit their brother-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wen
dell and to see the little new niece

gratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wen
dell. F. W. Schliefert dug out a half
dozen young coyotes fremi a hole in
the ground enit Vm Lawrence Twiss'
place Sunday. The little fellows did
iu)t have their eyes ejpen but Fred
realizeel that they would soon greiw
into first-class chicken thieves and
he exterminated them. He will take
their pelts to the cemnty seat and
claim a bounty on theni. The moth

Hubert Fosbrrg, the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fosberg. living
till the Palmer farm south ef town,
had the misfortune to fall off a disc
last Saturday and sprain his ankle,
which has laid him up t)r a few elays.
He is experienced in handling luuses
and in all farm work but accidents
will happen, and he was lucky to es
cape; with no more serienis injuries
and he will soon be all right again.
The hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Stohlman was again
the scene of a happy gathering em
Wednesday evening of last week.
April 2Sth, when a large number of
friends and relatives gathered to
give Mr. Stohlman a surprise party
in hemor of his 54th birthday anni
versary. The guests arrived early in
the evening laden with baskets of
lunch and Mr. Stohlman soon rallied
from the surprise te welcome his
friends and a merry evening was
spent in music and games, while the
supper which was served at a late
hemr did honor to the ladies who
prepared it.
The manv friends of Mrs. Walter

DRESSING the walls is one o f tl
arts of today. More money is being
put into it by the average family
than, say for pictures or other v.all deco
lr.tion. From the mere covering of an
I -nightly wall surface, it has grown to
the dignity of a decorative art.
Can there be any surprise, therefore,
in the fact that the public is evincing a
greater interest in better wall decoration?
And having helped to lift wall deco
ration to its prcper place in home beau
tiflcation, wc feel this concerns the in
terest of every home owner who feels
justly satisfied with only the best in home
decoration.
