Dr. O. E. Longacre of thiscitv went
to Grand Island New Year's day,
where he went for an operation for

ing him for some time It was under
stood the operation would take place

was thought the operation had been
suoceasrul. Of late, however, he has
not been doing so well and Tuesday

may be speedily ' returned home
secure from the dread disease.

John Wall Seriously 111
We learn that Mr. John Wall of Ar
cadia, brother of Judge Aaron Wall
of this city, is in a dangerous state
of health, with the probabilities of
his ultimate recovery very doubtful.
He had been for some time at Omaha
undergoing medical treatment, with
no beneticial results, returning home
where he is at present, his nerve for
ces in bad shape and it is said is af
flcted with the very rare trouble
known as the hardening of the arter
ies. which caused the death of ex
Oovernor Mickey. Mr. Wall was
formerly clerk of the courts of this
county, removing from here to Ar
cadia where he was for many years in
the general mercantile business, later
going in the banking business, in
which he is engaged at present. He
was for a number of sessions of the
state legislature chief clerk of the
bouse, was later a prominent candi
date for governor before the repub
lican state convention, and is one of
the widest and most favorably known
men in the state. The Northwest
ern sincerely trusts rest and success
ful treatment may restore him to
his fonmer health and vitality.
Remedy for Corn Stalk Disease
Owing to the large number of deaths
to cattle and horses this winter by
what is termed “cornstalk disease,’’
a number of remedies have been ad
vanced as sure cures when taken in
time, but the latest and most simple
is by Jacob Wisner, a farmer and
stock raiser who claims actual ex
perience and tests for his remedy,
which is pimple and easily prepared.
The formula is merely to take a
quantity of lard and heat it until it
is all dissolved and luke warm, dis
solve all the salt in this that it will
take and drench the animal afflicted
by means of a long-necked bottle.
There is go danger of an overdose as
this formula is harmless and in severe
cases the dose may be repeated at
short intervals.
People who Bore you Talking
About their Children
In a New Year’s talk in the Jan
uaro Woman's Home Companion Mar
garet E. Sangster reports what a
brother said about his own married
sister: “I never dine at Mary’s. I
used to enjoy going there, but she
and Jack are at present so engrossed
with the rising generation that there
is no fun in being their guest. The
chrildren are permitted to interrupt
conversation; their father and mother
stop in the midst of a sentence to
answer their questions and to con
duct their education; and worst of all
their wonderful sayings are repeated
in their hearing, and a bachelor un
cle is frowned upon If he does not
rise to the occasion and express his
amazement at the brilliant speeches
of the small people. When Mary’s
children are grown, I shall visit her
again: but, for the present, I drop in
only when I think they are safe in
bed.”
It is said the primary ballot this
year will be a monster affair. Over
300 names will appear on the ballot
outside of county and precinct candi
dates and the printer will have the
job of his life in getting the plaguev
tilings out.
