Dobson and family are visit ing relatives and taking in the fair this week. Nick Komicki and family w ill occupy the Noviskl residence accross the Creek in the near future. The St. Izldore picnic in the park Sunday was fairly well attended and was a success financially. E. G. Taylor and family are moving to Loup City this week where they in tend to reside. Fred Wickraan jr. has accepted a position in a Grand Island grocery house and went to that place last week. We understand that F. Wardyn St and family will have a public sale, build a house in Ashton and m jve in to our town this fall. Seifert, living south of Ashton is having an elegant residence built on his farm property. Loe Miefski and Chas Goyoricli are doing the work Mr. Claus Stolley informs us that if any Ashton or other folks want a nice fresh milch cow give him a call, lie has a couple of good ones. Jim Baitunek received the sad news of the death of his father at Walback by phone Sunday and drove over and attended the funeral returning to Ash ton Tuesday. Miss. Alice Seabeck has gone on a three weeks vacation visiting relatives in Iowa. Miss. Josie Jezowski lias temporarllly taken Miss Seabeck place in Conklin 8 store. Mr. Weiczewskl, the aged father of Paul Weiczewski, liviDg live miles south o'" Ashton died of oldsge last Sun day. The funeral took place nt Posen Church and eemetry Monday. Mrs. F. J. J ezewski made two trips to the Grotham hospital at St. Paul to have her iiand operated upon this week. As a scratch upon a linger and hlood polsion setting in caused all the trouble The W. C. Danker residence and the new church parsonage are being rap idly completed and make quite im posing residences. Ashton is one of the slow but sure, get thier little towns F. Wardyn Sr. and L. Curtis got in to an altercation in town Tuesday. Curtis was> badly cut up with a beat glass and swore out a warrant for as sult and battery. The ea-e is to be tried before liia honor today (Wednes day.) Peter Rowe was down to Ashton Monday to place a bid on t-he parson sonageand other lathing jobs. County clerk Gibson accompanied him on the drive over from Coup City and both gents spent a pleasant hour at the ico nic in the park. J. F. Smith the Ashton pencil pusher more politely called the correspondent of this paper, and holds the position of Justice of the Peace of Ashton Twp and who mostly dubs himself as bis honor is understood to be a probable candidate for County Judge on the soc ialist ticket this coming campagin. Robt. Watka assisted by H. Smelser are buying grain at Ashton. There seems to be a merry war in the grain business at Ashton, 62 cents being paid for grain at this point last* Tuesday. The pnncip >1 trouble however, is that this philanthropic idea of paving higli prices for grain by transient buyers Is only spasmodic and only bolds on fora short period until the trantsients can’t see enough money m it to suit them. Puts Comfort Before Looks. Secretary of War Root is a firm be liever in the idea that a soldier should look the soldier when engaged In mili tary work, but ho also realizes that in very hot weather some measure of smart appearance must give way to comfort, so he has practically said: ‘‘Bother your uniforms; dress as you please.” Indeed, he has set the ex ample for his burean chiefs at the war department by stripping off coat and waistcoat and making himself as nearly comfortable as possible in a becoming colored shirt waist. Buenos Ayres’ Great Docks. The first thing that strikes you on landing at Buenos Ayres is Its docks, which, extend for five miles along the river front, says St. Nicholas. They were built by an English firm, and were completed In 1897. They are most Bolidly constructed, supplied with numerous modern steam cranes and are brilliantly lighted with elec trdty at night. They cost the city and nation seven million pounds starling, or $35,000,000. So great Is tha amount of shipping, however, that not the docks alone, but the small river Riachuelo is crowded with ves sels. Indeed, one wonders how a ship, once entered, can ever manage to get out. NOTICE. I have a car of Maitland Pea coni of excellent quality. Good for steam threshers. Call and examine it E. 6. Taylor. It So Happens. The man who talks tho most about a woman keeping to her spheri is generally the one who is obliged to hustle to keep up with some woman competitor. . Her Hopes. When a girl is In doubt as to which man squeezed her hand In the dark it is because she hopes It was the one who didn’t do it—New York Press. -- Unmannerly. If men did not like to go through a great deal to learn a little they would not get married and stay so for a great length of time. ‘ Sailed First Dory Over Ocean. Capt. Alfred Johnson, who was the first man to cross the ocean In a small boat In 1876, is still living at Gloucester, Mass. Cooperation Fails. Socialistic experiments have fallen oft in the United States. Few now survive of the seventy-two carried on twenty-five years ago by societies with 6,000 members and a capital of $12, OUO.OCO. Was Infant Prodigy. Before he had reached his twelfth birthday young Handel was known throughout Germany as • a brilliant composer and virtuoso at the court of the Emperor. Stone Slingers of the Nile. When the wheat is growing in the fields near the banks of the Nile, Egypt, great quantities of birds of every kind pounce down upon the tender grain and would soon destroy the whole crop were it not for the watchful "stone slingers.” These are men who stand all day perched on lit tle platforms here and there through out the fields .with slings and peb bles, shooting any bird that comes within reach. The work of a stone slinger is a regular profession in Egypt, though a poorly paid one, it being thought that simply standing all day is not very hard labor. It is only for a few weeks twice a year that the stone slinger can find em ployment. “Old Wine” Theory Exploded. There is hardly a man who does not believe that the old wine is the best wine, yet a short time ago some cases of claret were sold in London at $25 a bottle, of the famous “Comet” vintage of 1811, and the wine was found to bo utterly worth less. It was simply worn out with age. Wine experts and wealthy con noisseurs had come from great dis tances to buy the wine at any price, and were edified upon opening it to find it was as flat as soda water. In the same way, not long since, a quan tity of hock from the cellars- of a country house, of the year preceding Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, fetched $20 per bottle, and was found to have lost everything except color. NO MONEY IN TRANSLATION. Little Demand for the Best Works of Foreign Authors. “Translating 1b an art,” said an Instructor at the university. “Car lyle translated some fairy tales from the German, and these tales from Tieck and Musaeus are examples of English prose as beautiful as the heart could desire. Swinburne trans lated Villon, and so did Rossetti, who gave us, furthermore, paraphrases of the Italian poets that equal the origi nals In eharm. That is the test of translation—that it shall equal in beauty the original—and I think there should be a law requiring every great writer to translate at least one great book. Rut our good men can’t afford to make translations; the pay is too miserable. It is impossible to get for translating a novel of 125,000 words more than about $250. There Is only $2 per 1,000 words, and there Is no living in it at such figures.”— Philadelphia Record. REAL OLD PERSIAN RUGS Value of the Genuine Hand-Made Arti cle Is Enormous. The value of a real old Persian rug lies in the number of hand-made knots to the square inch. A silk rug which was sold the other (lay for £5,000, and which was catalogued as “Middle Persia,” was six feet eleven Inches In length and four feet ten Inches tn width, and contained 780 hand-tied Persian knots to the squaro inch. Although nearly 300 years old, it was in excellent condition, with the exception of one end, which had been slashed by the sharp knife of some vandal during the time it was on exhibition at a recent show. The amount of work expended in this fabric must have been immense, a single inch, it is computed, taking one man thirteen hours to complete. Home of Fine Laces. Some of the finest laces being used this season come from Idria. a small mountain town in Italy with about 6,000 Inhabitants. It has been for some centuries the usual house indus try of the women, who formerly worked from old Croatian patterns and Slav designs. Hold Males Superior. The Munich school board has or dered that all female school teachers must salute their male superiors first wherever they meet them. Gain for Temperance. In Louisiana and Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas temperance agitation has advanced greatly in the past three years. Of Course Not. We do not believe we wrere ever as frivolous as the hoys and girls now adays. Do you think you were?— Washington (la.) Democrat. Lead in Railway Mileage. The Australian colonies have a greater railway mileage, in proportion to population, than any other part of the world. Fishhooks. The fishhooks used to-day <g,'e of precisely tho same form as those of 2,000 years ago. Tho only difference is in the material; then they were made of bronze, now they are of steel. Mortality in India. In the central provineos of India 513 persons were killed last year by wild beasts and 1,304 by snakes. The number of domestic animals thus killed was 12,000. Watches World’s Money Markets. They tell In New York of a inan named King who resides in Europe, visits all the capitals, knows all the big wigs, is at home on all the bourses and generally keeps track of whatever Is going on the money mar kets. He cables daily to the Stand ard Oil Company and some of the al lied life insurance companies. His cables are kept secret. They are full of meat. The transaction of the Rockefellers and a few others are based upon his say-so. He receives a salary of $25,000 a year. High Prices for Antiques. Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippen dale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A col lector in this city pall the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100. —New York letter. bition for f ;e book, <’ * write (1 I to ftCS iy t.W/icr'f WtMy, -** \ More than twenty double-page pictures n year by Charges Dana Gibson are only a part ot the good things that come week by week to regular readers of COLLIER’S the world’s most progressive illustrated newspaper.
