No. 1 of Vol. 1 of the Ashton Booster, the new paper just started by W. Z. Todd, formerly of Bur well, came to our exchange table this week dated last Friday, Au gust 8. It’s a lively little infant of eight pages of five columns each, with four of them home print. It starts out with about eight col* | umns of home advertisements. | nearly as many as shown by either I of the Loup City papers, showing , that the Ashton merchants are a i live bunch and believe in “show ing" the people they have some thing to sell, and want them to know it. Will Todd should be | and undoubtedly is proud of the j support accorded him and is to be1 congratulated on having such a fine lot of merchant patrons. An Editor's Complaint Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight; give us a girl whose skirts are not tight: give us a girl whose charms, many or few, are not exposed by too much peek a-boo; give us a girl, no matter what age, who won’t use the street as a vaudeville stage; give us-a girl not too sharply in view; dress her in skirts that the sun can’t shine through. Automobilists, Attention Scientists announce that at last \ a perfect substitute for rubber has! been discovered. It is made al-j most entirely from corn and pota toes, by a process of fermentation and chemical reaction. It is claimed that this will reduce the cost of automobile tires one-half. Now when we get a cheap substi tute for gasoline the problem of locomotion will be solved. be expected. This is the second accident in this family in 10 days. Several loads of lumber and other material have been hauled to the new school house in the Peterson district.

Last Satur day night he had a two-year-old colt killed. Route 2 was visited by a de structive wind, rain and hail storm Tuesday evening about 5 o’clock. The section that suffered most was south from the Wiggle Creek church. Three miles south of the church everything was hailed out clear to the county line. In some places the corn was so badly liailed that it stands only two feet high. Alfalfa was cut off close to the ground. The hailed streak seems about two miles wide and twelve miles long. When the hail reached Chas. Snyder’s place it divided, one part to the east of J. H. Bur well’s, while the other went to the west of his place, and where the hail parted the wind seemed the worst, for at the heme of Frank Casteel it tore the roof completely off his bam and scattered it for 200 yards north. Both chimneys were blown from his house and the coal shed, 10x15, was picked up and carried three rods, landing on several pieces of machinery and a small hog shed. The dam age to his machinery will amount to a great many dollars. At the time the roof was blown away, Mr. Casteel was standing in the barn. He thought when the roof left it was his move but the storm was over about as soon as it came. Albert Snyder’s wind mill blew down, Mrs. Andy Gray had a chicken house, also a corn crib, blown to pieces, and her barn is about down. At Tom McFadden’s about 50 trees were blown down. Lots of fresh stacked prairie hay on Mrs. Koch’s place was cut close to the ground and strewn over the fields. The Jorgenson threshing crew each had narrow es capes. Some of the loaded racks were tipped over before they could be unhitched from. Mr. Jorgen sen’s wheat was scattered all over the field. Chimneys on the housse of Mr. Wilkie and Ola Snyder were blown off. Frank Wanner had a corn c-Ub tore to pieces. The window lights on the south side at the homes of Frank Wag ner, Clai-k Allman, Lars P. Wil son and others south of here were knocked out by hail. Some hail were as large as hen eggs and com pletely covered thb ground from an inch to two inches of rain fell in this district whiie at Fritz Bichel’s only 1-2 inch fell. Rain was very heavy from Loup City to the Wiggle Creek chutch. Lots of wheat stacks in the Casteel dis trict were torn to pieces within 3 feet of the bottom. Clark Alman had a setting dos' to his house that wrs damaged worst on the Route. No hail north of Clias. Snyder's * to hurt anything. Last Notice Unpaid book accounts and notes due the T.

This will last only a few days. Come early and get your Dr. C. E Paul Adjudged Insane Dr. C. E. Paul, a physieian of Litchfield, was brought before the board of commissioners on insan ity Monday evening and after a careful hearing was committed to the dipso hospital at Lincoln. Dr. Paul had been a practicing physican at Litchfield for the past four years and was* an extreme user of liquor. Of late he had suffered under the delusion that various persons were after him to shoot or poison him, and since last Friday had become so irre sponsible and demented that he had been under the constant care, day and night, of friends. His delusions becoming so alarming, he was brought over from Litclv field Monday aftemon by Marshal Robinson, accompanied by Joe Cording, Will Heapy and Chas. Potter, whose evidence, coupled with the hallucinations of the doc tor before the board gave no doubt of his complete mental collapse. It is pitiful to see such a wreck of so talented a young man, and it is sincerely hoped that thorough treatment and abstinence from the habit which has overpowered and wrecked his mental and physical well being will be overcome and he be restored in perfect condition to friends and the medical profes sion of which he is an unusually bright member. We understand he is unmarried and without family ties in this part of the country. • OCERIES!
