Boukoutz and wife going from here to Dorchester, where we un derstand they will hold a series of meetings. During the weeks that Rev. and Mrs. Boukoutz have been here in evangelical work they have endeared themselves to a large number of people whom they have met in their work, and have been earnest workers izx the Mas ter’s vineyard. They go from here with the best wishes of our people for success in their chosen work. There have been quite a number of additions to the church instrumentality and there will be yet some who will join the church because of their coming among us. j mwm LAST NUMBER OF LYCEUM The last number of the Lyceum Bureau entertainments will be given at the opera house next Tuesday evening March 31, by Alvih Green, the prince of humor ists.

I 3ii Monday'* W«rld-BeraJd The following story about the disap pearance of Mr*. GwAeld Erring ton wa- printed: "Garfield Errington. a woathy young farmer of Ord. Neb., is ap pealing to the authorities all over America to help him find his wife and 2-year-old daughter. Mrs. Jessie Errington. 2b years old. and Goldie, the little daughter, board ed a train at Ord on December 13, bound for Omaha they were going to transfer here and continue their trip to Melford. Canada, where she had relatives they intended to visit. “Errington kissed his wife and baby good-by, helped them on the train, watched them enter the door of the car and has not seen them since. He is spending hun dreds of dollars sending a detailed description of the woman and baby to points all over the North Amer ican continent. The first he knew of their disappearance was when they failed to appear at Melford and her relatives wrote to him asking about her delay. “Mrs. Errington was light com plexioned, smooth faced, her upper corner teeth were missing and the baby is golden haired. “We never had trouble, but I lived happily together during our five yeais of married life," was Errington's report to the local l*>!ice. ‘There was no insanity in her family and I do not believe she lost her memory. We both idolized the baby. I am imagin ing all kinds of things that could have happened to her. She has leen gone three months now and every hour of that three months 1 have vainly hoped to hear from her.' He has offered a reward for information about her. He rehe lives in Cfcnada are also conduct mg a search." Investigation has lead to the db wwv that iwurheW Eniigttw b a brother to who b well known at Irene and who now lives in the north part of the county, near Burwell, tvartieM does not live in thb county and probably never has but has been known at Burwell for years. He is far from being wealthy farmer and many who have seen him in Burwell daily of late had not known that he was concerned about his -wife or child.—Ord Journal. OBR CITY WALKS TOO HARROW Not a few have called attention to the too narrow condition of the cement sidewalks on the main business street of our city. A j business man and one of the prin jciple merchants owning a building i and doing ft thriving business on said street, said to the reporter, I , wish you would call public atten tion to tiie fact that the walks are at least three feet too narrow for the traffic on said street. He wished sentiment could be brought in favor of the widening of said walks at least three feet, believing it would be for the very best good. There is no qnestien but that when ever there is much of a crowd in our city the walks prove way too narrow for the use of the people who line the street, and we be lieve the widening of sach side walks would be appreciated. On Monday of this week, John Eggers sold his meat market to his son, John Eggers, Jr., who re cently arrived here from Denver. The new proprietor is a young man with all the marks of energy and progressiveness showing in his make-up and we believe he will prove a welcome addition to oar business interests. GEO. L ZIGL I DIES SUDDENLY Ug» I—* Iwp illtfc iwt fvMTS At Apm fcao* Lssl UMn FIVE RIINO POKE PIT LIST TMMTE Last Friday evening, about € o'clock, at bis home in Logan township.George L. Zigler. one of the best known and highly resect ed farmers 'of Sherman county i died suddenly from a paralytic stroke. He had just driven in from the field with a load of corn fodder and had loosed the tugs when he fell at the horses heels under the front end of the wagon, where his two sons found him a few moments afterwards and car ried him into the house. Think ing he had been kicked by one of the horses. Dr. Bowman was sent for who on arrival found Mr.Zigler dead, had probably died immedi ately where he was found. Dr. Bowman phoned to town for Dr. Main, the coroner, who found Dr. Bowman's diagnosis as coinciding with his own. and held no inquest necessary. The funeral was held at the opera house in Loup City Monday following, deceased being so well and favorably known that no church would have sufficient seating capacity to accommodate all who would wish to pay last re spects to their departed neighbor, friend and brother. The funeral was held at 1 o'clock in the after noon. fully 509 being in attend and nearly exhausting the seating capacity of the building. The Odd Fellows, of which he was an honored member, had charge of , the services, closing with ritual istic work following short talk and address by Rev. Boukouts and Dr. Sutherland of the Baptist cburclu after which interment was had in Evergreen cemetery. In the death of Mr. Zigler, Sherman count has lost one of her best cit izens, a man highly respected by all, and one whose life was most exemplary and uplifting. In his death his family has lost a loving, devoted and affectionate husband and father; those who knew him a kind friend, and the people of the county a progressive citizen. George Leander Zigler was born in Lorain, Stevenson county, Illi nois, Oct. 24, 1862. In February, 1884, he moved to Ashland, this state, thence that fall to Mar quette. Hamilton county, living there until Feb. 19, 1901, when he came to Sherman county where he lived until death. In February, 1889, he was united in wedlock t > Miss Della Weaver, to whom were born two sons and four daughters, Ralp, Lee, Grace, Lila, Fay and Hazel,‘all of whom, with the wife, survive him. He is survived also by two brothers and one sister— J. C. Zigler of Savannah, Ills.; W. T. Zigler of Marquette, Neb., and Mrs. Katie Fullrath of Mt. Car roll, Ills. Deceased united with the U. B. church in 1894, which membership he retained until his death. Card of Thanks We wish to express our heart felt tlianks to friends, neighbors, the hrotherhoods and all who ga\ e aid amt sympathy in our deep loss «t towing ana devoted husband and father.
