John Haeber has had all kinds
of accidents and misfortunes which
have at times been as thrilling as
a novel when clothed in proper
language. John was returning
from Simeon with the mail last
Thursday and when the wind was
at its worst he reached the level
prairie near Lawrence Christen-
sen's. The wind blew very strong
there on an open prairie and a sud
den gust overturned the mail wagon * -
on and another gust then upset it
and as the wind continued to blow
the wagon was blown over again
and this time was right side up
but the horses had broken the
tongue in the twisting and away
tiey sped with the wind and were
finally blown up against a fence
near John Bush's where Mr.
Haeber found them after going to
Lawrence Chrislensen's for a sad
dle horse. John was hurt and
bruised and skinned but was able
to get into town and tell the tale.
Lines Gheens , the driver on the
Kennedy line , also up et his wag-
twice but managed to hold onto
his team and kept agoing. He
was in town Tuesday driving on
this end of the route while John
rests up.

Lincoln's Birthday.
We believe that the program
which is being prepared for the
celebration of the 100th anniver
sary of Lincoln's birthday is
worthy the attention of every citi
zen living in and around Valen
tine. Church's opera house has
been secured for the occasion from
two to four p. ra. , Friday , Feb.
12. No admission will be charged
and everyone is invited to be pres
ent. Mrs. Elmer Bristol Lius
charge of the music.
Ten-minute speeches will be
made tin some phase of this great
iT , _ J 1 _ _ - , r
man's life by each of the following
persons : Messrs. A. M Morrissey -
sey , L. C. Sparks , F. M. Walcott ,
John Mohlman , Cloyd Quigley ,
Kev. Baker , and Mrs. C. H. Cor
nell. Short recitations or read
ings will be given by each of the

There is nothing better for a
people than a little hero worship
occasionally. We tend to become
like that which we admire. The
character of Lincoln is one to be
admired.
