She has reached the ripe old age of 82 years and past, but if you did not know it. you would not think she was past sixty, so sprightly and active and young looking she is. And she is good for ten or fifteen years yet. A service of unusual interest is planned for next Sunday evening at the Presbyterian church. The subject is, “The songs we love, and how they came to be written.” A song is sung with new meaning when you know the circumstances which called it into being. There will also be the usual special music. The seivice is for you. It will be brief, interesting and helpful. Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Main left for Kansas City, Kas., Tuesday morning being in receipt of a telegram the night previous, that Mrs. Main’s sister, Mrs. G. P. Callahan, was dan gerously ill with inflammation of the bowels, and had been removed to the hospital as a last resort. Mrs. Calla han was visiting here a few weeks since, only returning home a fort night since. We trust they will find the good sister much improved and her recovery speedy. Last Thursday night, the printing plant of the editor's brother, W. E. Burleigh, at Tlngley, Iowa, “The Vindicator,” was destroyed by light ning, almost the entire office and building being consumed. This is a serious blow to our good brother, but with the Burleigh grit, lie immediate ly ordered a new outfit, presses, type and all paraphernalia of a well regula ted weekly print shop, and does not expect to miss one issue of the paper, ; thanks to his kind newspaper neigh bors, who came speedily to his relief, with their offices at his disposal till lie could get on his feet again. The carnival company which showed here live days last week, folded their tents and went away Monday morn ing, and with them went many hun dreds of dollars of the people’s good money. It is said the entertainments were fairly good and people are not complaining about getting their money’s worth, but honest, now, wouldn’t it have been much wiser had our people gotten up a home carnival, had a much better time, and1 kept a much larger per cent of the money at home? It does not pay to have factions and bickerings and dis sensions in a home community, let the cause or source be what it may, as the loss is inestimable to not only a few but is felt by all aud time scarcely ever heals the wounds. Mrs. Peter Hendrickson left last Saturday for an extended visit to her youngest daughter at Plymouth, Wis. Mrs. Hendrickson goes also to look over that country, with the possi bility of selling her farm in Webster township and investing her money there, that she may be near her daughter. The many friends of the good lady will regret her intentien and trust she may still abide with us. We received a pleasant call on Mon day from Mr. H. S. Moores, formerly a newspaper man of Frontier county, this state, but now representing the Ross P. Curtice Co., of Lincoln, the well known music house, with head quarters at Grand Island. Mr. Moores and wife were here over Sunday, the guests of Conductor Taylor's family, returning home Tuesday morning. Mr. Moores was combining business with pleasure, in representing his house t<3 our people. The Ross P. Curtice Co. is too well known to our people to call for favorable comment from us, but we are impelled to say that if any of our people are in want of a lirst-class piano or any other musical instrument, or desirous of copies of the latest sheet music, a letter to Mr. Moores will receive prompt attention and you will not be disappointed in doing business through him with this excellent musical house. I)r. J. H. Long has received a letter from C. C. Van Alest at Sand Point, Idaho, dated July 25th. which gives much interesting facts in regard to that country, and worthy to be print ed in full, but lack of space forbids. Sand Point is about live years old and about the size of Loup City, and a live, hustling lumber town on a lake. He says the town is rather rough from a moral point of view and speaks of the robbery of the postoflice and of his own house at one time, in which he lost $95 of his hard-earned money. The town lias a good water system, electric lights, long distance and local telephone plant, on the Great North ern and Northern Pacific and another railroad coming in-the Seattle Inland. The town is built.on the lake shore, on a nice level, yet full of stumps and half burned trees. Lumbering is the chief support of the town and coun try, but little farming being done and the cost of living high. More or less mining is being done and a smel ter is being built. Mr. Van Alest has purchased a steamboat plying on the lake, of which he is captain, and is making a nice living therefrom, but his health being poorly, he turns the management mostly over to a brother-in-law, who is an engineer and well acquainted with the lake and the people, and with Mr. Van Alest's oldest boy, relieves him of most of the responsibility, and in fact makes it unnecessary to accompany it on its trips, which are for a great part in handling excursion parties. The climate and scenery are noted as being very fine, while the hunting for big game and the fishing superb. The county commissioners of one or two counties have had printed in their local papers an extract from the compiled statutes that reads like news. It is as follows: 5382 Sec. 12S»—That it shall be the duty of land owners in this state to mow or otherwise destroy all weeds to the middle of all public roads run ning along their lands at least once in each year, namely, between the 15th day of July and the 15th day of August of each year. And when land owners neglect to mow or otherwise destroy the weeds in roads as herein provided it shall be the duty of the overseer of the roads on complaint of any resident of his road district to mow or destroy the weeds on neglect ed portions of roads complained of and the overseer may charge and be paid from the general funds of the county, $1.50 per day for man, $1.50 per day for team and $1.00 per day for the use of the mowing machine for the time actually spent cutting and destroying weeds, provided that no overseer shall destroy the weeds on any road until the time has passed in which the owner is required to destroy said weeds. And a statement of all moneys paid to the overseers of roads for carrying out the provisions of this act shall be made by the over seers to the county clerk, giving a proper description of the lands where on weeds were destroyed by the over seer of roads, tnd the county clerk shall include such amounts in making the county tax lists as an assessment against said lands which shall be collected as other taxes. from the Loup Valley herd of Poland China Swine One Mile S.
