clear, strong, and always on tbe right

burned to the water's edge and had

The craft is a total loss amounting
to about $100, and. in addition, a lot
of blankets, mattresses, cooking uten

was raised and brought ashore.
The boat was built a year ago last

that I had a somewhat aggravated case

such slight relief I cast about for a per

Nebraska City News.
The News some time ago announced
that the Nebraska City starch works
.had had plans prepared for doubling
the capacity of their present works
Just where to put the new building
was what has been worrying the man
agers and last w ft? K Superintendent
Carl Morton and Engineer John Con
ley went to Chicago to consult with
Joy Morton and others, leaving the
plans with him. Now we are happy
to state that the question has been
solved and the new building will be
erected just west of the present fac
tory. It will be loOxW), four stories
high, and will extend from where the
oflice now is up to the engine room,
and will cost about $23,000. In order
to get iteam power for this addition
another battery of boilers will be ad
ded.
This addition was made necessary
because the Argo Manufacturing Co
was unable to fill the orders received,
their goods having gained such a rep
utation that all wanted to sell them
This speaks volumes for a manufactory
that has been established but three or
four years, and no doubt it will con
tinue to grow.
Work on the addition will be com
menced immediately and pushed to
completion as fast as possible, and it
is intended that the factory will not
shut down a single day while the
building is being erected and connec
tions made.
The feast of Mondamin was splendid

red herrings and cheese, a sirloin ot
codfish some hen fruit and milk, and
various viands like these. The feast
of Mondamin was splendid, I guess.
for dudes who are living in style,
whose daddies have kindly crossed over
the range, and left them a beautiful

bequest, but the wealth that you get by
the sweat of your brow you will keep
right inside of your vest. If the friends
of Mondamin will get up a feast of
turnips and bacon and slaw, I'll cough
up my twenty-five cents at the door,
and wonders perform with my jaw.

The two-beaded calf has ceased to
be a matter of much curiosity as a
freak of nature: consequently pro
gressive Nebraska has introduced the
two-headed snake. It is a product of
Thurston county and made its appear
ance about three weeks ago in that
much agitated district of country
called the Omaha Indian reservation.
The snake was captured by an Indian
and is now in the possession of W. F.
Diddock. It is alive, active, perfectly
formed and is a complete snake, ex
cept it is a little overdone, having two
heads, each on a neck about four
inches long. It acts in all respects
like two snakes. In the management
of tbe body the two heads seem to act
as one and there seems to be perfect
harmony.
