Ass'ii for lowest rates on Real Estate Loans. T. E. ODIOENE , Secretary. The Ohickering pre-eminently the best made. What is it that gives a man undying fame ? What is it that makes us revere a few brilliant men of letters over the great army of mediocre and even very good authors ? It is that they stand for excellence in their various lines of work , that each has reached as near the ideal as has seemed under the circumstances , possible. It is the same excellence , this excell ing all others , that has given the Ohick ering piano its remarkable place among pianos. The Ohickering is not merely one of several very good makes , but is decidedly the very best that it is possi ble to purchase. We handle the Ohick ering piano as a lender , because , apart from the money considerations , it pleases us to have in our ware-rooms a piano that is n constant scource of de light not only to visitors but to our selves. The more closely one becomes associated with the exquisite Ohicker ing tone the less can he be patient with the tone of any other make whatsoever. In the tone of this remarkable piano there is n body , a volume , a singing quality and a sweetness that can be found in no other instrument. We ore solo sellers in New Jersey Lo'nter Co. , Newark , N. J. Five times k larger stockof pianos than any other house in the state. JOHNSON'S Funsmms STOUE. - ' .

Howe's show is to exhibit in Greigh- ton on the 10th. A new sidewalk is being built on North Fifth street. Wiusideis to entertain a "greatest show on earth" Monday. Fremont is to have telephones in each of the school buildings hereafter. The house of Mrs J. H. Brown at South Norfolk is being treated to a new coat of paint. E. N. Vail closed the restaurant de partment of his business last night but will continue to deal in confectionary. H. L. McCormick is prepairing to begin the erection of his new residence at the coruor of Ninth street and Madison - , ison avenue. Ray Evans has quit his job with the Oreighton News and will begin working - ing for his brother on the Meadow Grove Press next week. The Nebraska City Tribune says : "Beatrice gardener has n potato vine which took ; to bearing potatoes upon its branches instead of.under 00 soil. A reasonable explanation is that the ground was already BO full < of potatoes that the expansion theory had to bo adopted , " Another reasonable expla nation is that those potatoes saw with their own eyes the flood coming and climbed the vine to keep out of the wot. The men of the Norfolk pleasure party , which is enjoying an outing at Long Pine , were challenged to a game of base ball by a toaui of Long Pine ball players Wednesday and won the game with nscoro of 7 to 0 , The Hoskius correspondent of the Wiusido Tribune says : "About 75 tickets wore sold from hero for the Fourth of July .excursion to Norfolk. All report a fiuo time , some not return ing until the next morning. ' " Osmond people to the number of about 100 attended the celebration at Pierce and are kicking because the hotels and , restaurants charged them "DO cents for one potato , ono piece of boiled ham , one glass of water , ono hard tack biscuit and a little batter. " Experience with numerous Fourth of July celebrations should soon learn people not to expect much for their money on that day. There will bo three now men on the Norfolk team for the game with Croigh- ton Sunday. The battery will bo Wilkins brothers , Glenn Wilkius , late of the DesMoines league team , pitching. It is the strongest combination yet as sembled in Norfolk this season and good ball miiy bo counted on. The Norfolk fans nre enthusiastic and the gixmo should draw a largo attendance from surrounding towns. From January 1 to July 1 Winsido has shipped out 801 carloads , including 1C ! ) cars of stock and 117 cars of grain. Dur ing the same time 128 carloads were re ceived , including cars of lumber , 21 cars of stock and 11 cars of agricultural implements. None but full carloads are considered in this statement. It is a good showing and gives a slight indi cation of what Nebraska towns arc do ing in the way of business this summer. There is one thing that could get the crops and get them right after these copious rains and that is ono of those strenuous hot winds that have come from the southwest during past sum mers. With the ground as wet as it IB and the vegetation so tender a good strong hot wind would prove very dis astrous. Farmers and other people in this country will hope that , along with the drouth , the hot wind has taken a year off. For a good , everyday household angel there is nothing to compare with the girl who laughs , says an exchange. Her pastry may not always be just right and she may occasionally burn the cakes and forget to replace missing button * , but for solid comfort all day and every day she is a very paragon. The trick of always seeing the bright side or of polishing up the dark one is an important faculty. One can culti vate a sense of humor if one tries. The funeral for the late Henry A. Semmler was held this afternoon from the residence of the family on North Tenth street. Rev. Mr. PfeiferLntheran minister from Madison , preached the sermon and the services were attended by the M. W. A. , and other orders of which the deceased was a member. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Karo of Lyons , and Mrs. R. H. Pollock of Omaha were here to attend the funeral , and Mr. and Mrs. W.J.Rupert returned from their visit to Hooper in time to be present. Louisville Courier Journal : "If it were not for the newspapers , " says Congressman Littlefleld , "the jobs which would go through congress are terrible to contemplate. If .there.'were no newspapers'at all , I don't believe I would be willing to trust myself alone in , the house of representatives for fifteen minutes. " Brother Littlefield might pursue that "if" farther. Indeed , "if it were not for the newspapers" very few men now in congress would ever have got out of their "native ports. " The newspapers have much to answer for as well as much to be thanked for. Dr. 0. E. Gossard , district deputy grand master of the I. O. O.

Every once in a while you hear eomo one Eay that advertising doesn't pay , because an ad is never read. A news paper may pursue the even tenor of its way for weeks and not create any un due comment but lot the same paper publish an article that docs not moot with the approval of a community and the editor soon hears from it. If the people didn't read the paper , the article of which the people did not approve would not be noticed. In the same manner a man might advertise for months and not know to what extent his adsjwerereadby the commnnityi but let n ridiculous [ mistake creep in and the probability is that both the adver tiser and the editor would hear from It promptly. It might be that half a hun dred people would rush , to the telephone and ask if the whole force at the print ing office was drunk , and it might be that among the first to notice the mis take would be some of those who don't advertise because people don't read ads.
