Snake Likes Minnows.
Nlobrara Tribune : While out at
the park Sunday FritEggert saw a
garter snake on the minnow pall and
decided that some one had put it
there for a joke. Upon further Inspec
tion , the Bnake was found to be h
real live one and wan putting away the
inlnnoWH In great style. Fritz killed
him and cut him In two with an ax
and from the looks of things the
Hiiake could eat bait faster than Fritz
could catch It.
Gave Him a Hatchet.
Tllden Citizen : Carrie Nation pass
ed through Tllden last Friday and
stopped off the train long enough to
ask for Ed Crue , to whom she pre
sented a souvenir hatchet. Carrie hnd
given the republicans and democrats
a severe raking In her lecture at Ne-
Ugh , but showed her tenderness for
the extinct populists by bestowing the
honor of her acquaintance upon the
only living exponent of the party now
to be found In this territory. That's
the construction generally placed upon
the episode , although some are of the
opinion that Air. Crue's personal
charms may have had something to
do with the distinction of Carrie's pat
ronizing attention.
\T \ Careless Auto Driver.
West Point Democrat : On Monday
afternoon M. J. Hughes and Will
Hodges had a narrow escape from
death. They had gone to Stanton on
the noon train , and made a drive into
the country from that point on land
business. On their way back to town
they were overtaken by an auto , and
riding along on an easy trot , all at
once , without any warning whatever ,
their buggy was upset by the ntito
when It swung out to pass them. Had
the horses not been a gentle team ,
they would have run away and the
accident would have proved fatal to
the men. As it was , they were held
only by the hanging on to the lines
by Mr. Hodges. As a result Mr.
Hughes received scratches about his
face , a badly bruised hand and severe
injuries on his left arm and chest.
Mr. Hodges was more fortunate. The
auto driver stopped and took Mr.
Hughes to town. Medical aid was
given him at Stanton and also at
West Point after his return. He is
somewhat lame but is improving. Had
the team gotten away the men would
have been dragged to death in the
closed top. The accident is the out
come of pure carelessness on the part
of the auto driver In failing to sound
an alarm and in driving up too close
to the buggy before turning aside.
Got Grips Mixed.
Fairfax Advertiser : Some days age
Rev. U. S. Crowder on leaving Her
A rick picked up what he thought was
his grip , but on closer examinatioi n
discovered It was not his own , but [ t
very much like it. The train was
about to start and as everyone at the
depot had gone aboard he took the
grip on , thinking the owner would been
,
on the train and the exchange could
be made. On opening the valise he
found It to contain a pack of cards , a
revolver , a bottle of liquor and other
articles and papers , while the one he
lost contained some religious papers ,
a sermon and his bible. Mr. Crowder
called the newsboy and explained the ;
case and said he would give a dollar
ire
if he would lind his grip and make :
the exchange. The newsboy went
through the train and In the smok
ing car found a grip that looked like :
the one Mr. Crowder had , and accost
ing the man who had it asked If that
was his grip , and the man said he
thought it was. "Well , " said the news
boy , "there Is a man back in the other
car who has a grip like that and says
he thinks there has been a mixup ,
as he has no use for the articles it
contains. Perhaps if you look Into
this one you will be of the same
mind. " The man opened the valise
and was amused at its contents , for
he had the preacher's grip , sure
rex
enough. The newsboy made the exchange
xd.
change and was rewarded as promised.

HE WAS A GENTLE STRANGER.
Out It Required Six New York Police-
men to Restrain Him.
New York. Aug. 23. A gentleman In
a made tie and congress gaiters who
was otherwise conspicuous by being
about thu size of the Mauretanla leaned -
ed up against a house front which
tilted slightly In Pltkln avenue. Hast
New York , today and announced In
a loud , piercing tone of voice that he
probably could whip any live men In
the greater city and would be very
glad to avail himself of the opportunIty -
Ity to do so. There were no takers
from the admiring crowd of merry
villagers who surrounded him at a
safe distance until Policeman Alfred
Ilricker came along and urped him to
move.
Before Brlcker had time even to
reach for his club the Cunarder fell
upon his neck with a glad cry , bore
him to the ground and proceeded to
massage him into the general pattern
of the sidewalk. Policeman Van Holt
arrived in time to save Brlck'er from
becoming a large blue mosaic , but It
took the united efforts of the two policemen -
lice-men and two citizens to restrain
the gentle stranger until a patrol \ \ ag
on arrived.
On reaching the Liberty avenue sta
tion the human ocean liner said he
was Joseph Wilson of Scranton , N. J. ,
| ! a deputy sheriff when at home , and a' [
mighty good man at any time. With t
these few words he pulled down most
of the portable fixtures and lemoving
a gas jet from the celling with a patch \
of plastering still adhering to it he
tried playfully to assault Desk Lieu
tenant Brady with it. It took all hands ,
around the station house to put Mr.
Wilson in a cell.
Mr. Wilson of Scranton. wearing two
policemen on each arm , but very little
else , he having shed most of his regular -
lar raiment in the earlier struggle , was
escorted to court. After greeting Mag
istrate Harris In a pleasant manner
and remarking that It was a line day ,
he tore most of the railing otf the
desk with his bare hands and distrib ,
uted it about the chamber.
Magistrate Harris retired behind his
Inkstand and said the line would be
$5. Mr. Wilson had no money. He
was taken down stairs by a large.
crowd of policemen and stored in the
cell that has double doors of chilled :
boiler plate steel.

YOUNG IS TURNED LOOSE.
But His Father Must Pay Taxes on
the $5,000 That Was Stolen.
Madison Post : Peter Adam Young ,
the son of John Young , recently ar '
| rested on complaint of his father with
having pilfered the family exchequer
to the extent of $ ii,000 , is once more
a free man and will now be able to
run his new automobile to his heart' i
content. This was all brought about !
by due pressure being brought to bear
on the father. After the filing of the
affidavits by Attorney W. E. Reed and
Dr. Long stating that Peter was weak-
minded and not accountable for his ;
actions , the county attorney asked for \
an order dismissing the action , which
was granted. As a result of the trou-
ble , however , the father must account
to the county for taxes on the $5.000 .
which he failed to account for in Ills
assessment. The settlement of the
case seems to meet with general sat-
isfaction the sympathy of the community -
munity was with the son.

GERMS IN FLOWERS , TOO.
Physicians Have Discovered That
j Some Plants Cause Disease.
' London A.ug. 23. Flowers contain
the germs of many diseases. This is
the assertion of Dr. Walsh , a widely
known London physician , who has
made a study of them. He pointed
out that the germs of skin disease.
catarrh and nausea often are imbedded
' In flowers such as lilies , roses , narcis
sus and gardenias.
| I Dr. Walsh said that many of the
persons who pick flowers in the Scllly
islands are u filleted with what is called
, "lily rash. " This rash , it is explained ,
comes from gerrns that are the plants'
protection against snails. The germs
are needle shaped crystals that are In-
'soluble In water or blood. If a snail I
bites one of the plants the needles are
liberated , and the snail is severely
! lacerated.
s' ' Another physician , in explaining
these germs , said :
j "Gardenias , jonquils , narcissi and
. white arum lilies are also the cause of
human beings feeling ill. The scent
of these beautiful flowers is really the
i result of their giving off volatile oils
I and these , by overstiniulnting the olfactory -
factory nerves , produce headaches
and , occasionally , nausea. "

. Langston Indicted.
- Gregory Times-Advocate : L. Q.
Loyd received a telegram this mornIng -
Ing from James Langston stating that
he had been indicted by the grand
jury for the murder of one Shirley.
Those who have followed the case
will remember that Langston was ar
- rested over two months ago on the
; charge and that the grand jury has
been at work on the case over since.
All this time friends of Mr. Langs-
ton have been .working for a speedy
trial of the case. But the grand Jury
- would not act , it being evident thai [
. they determined to delay the matter
and keep Langston In jail aa long as
- possible. The grand Jury , the county
Attorney and others Interested in the
prosecuting j , have given Langston very
unfair treatment from the first. The
detectives who got the requisition papers -
pers misrepresented the facts to Governor -
ernor Vessey , and had not Governor
Vessey taken a hand In the matter ,
the grand Jury would still be delayIng -
Ing matters. Langston's trial Is set
for October In spite of request of the
defendant for an Immediate trial.
The matter of taking depositions for
ball is set for the 27th in Gregory.
There Is a great deal of money behind
the prosecution of Langston. It has
come to light that Mrs. Shirley , di
vorced wife of the murdered man , Is
furnishing the money to stick an In
nocent party In order to shield her
brother who Is also Indicted. There
Is no question in the minds of the
people hero that It Is a case of the
guilty parties furnishing the money
to railroad an Innocent man to prison.
A party named Smith and another
named Blackford were indicted as be
ing accessories.

The Old Hotel.
Leslie's : It is too bad that the old
hotel is so scare in a way , for there
Is ' much comfort and peace to be de
rived by being around one of them.
In your old hotel Mr. Traveler may
turn completely around without hav
ing to pay five cents. He can put on
his ' hat without giving up a nickel. If
he drops his umbrella he does not
have to part with a dime to have it
recovered. He may scrub his hands
in the washroom of the old hotel with
out having somebody buzzing in his
ears , asking if the water Is satisfac
tory and collecting money to hand him
the towel , which is on the shelf in
front of him. He may part his hair ,
if he has any , without paying demur
rage. He may smoke , write a letter ,
go where he pleases and be glad that
life Is not all marble slabs and gilt
bell-boys. It is such a fine thing to
have an old hotel.
Smoke Wave From Idaho.
O'Neill , Neb. , Aug. 23. Special to
The News : A heavy smoke which old
woodmen say had the odor of forest
fire , has spread over the entire north'
west part of Nebraska. The atmos

: ig suddenly during a cool morning
ml set people guessing as to the prob
ble cause.
Telephone Inquiries to points north

Were They Drunk ?
Ainsworth Democrat : Ben Perkins
nd Ed Shives who reside near Ains-
A'orth created some excitement at the ,
ilepot Wednesday evening of this
rt'eek. They had been to Long Pine
nd returned on the evening train ,
t is presumed that they were labor-
ng under the impression that they .
ivere drunk , or had at least been hit
.
with the bar towel. They had picked
a quarrel with some of the passengers
enroute from Long Pine. Arriving
icre they continued to quarrel with
he people on the train , calling them
vile names and using abusive lan
guage. Shives produced a knife and
with language more forceful than ele
gant , Informed one of the passengers
that he would whittle him to fine
pieces. And Perkins so far lost his
presence of mind as to shy a full bottle
itn
tle of whisky through one of the windows
dews of the passenger coach. At this
point Conductor Campbell who was
assisting In the loading of baggage
took a hand. Ho started after Per
kins , but the latter proved that hens
was not so drunk as he was letting
on by taking to his heels and outdls
Isor
tanclng his pursuer. The conductor
turned Shives over to Agent Troxel
el.he
who as the chief magistrate of the
town , declared him under arrest , but
as soon as Troxel's back was turnci
for a minute , he made good his es
cape.
Both parties will be called upon tc
face a charge of disturbing the peac <
of the city , and the Northwester :
railway will probably prosecute tin
case on another and more serloui )
charge. Such occurrences aa tfaesi
are becoming entirely too frequent
and the people of Alnswortb as well
as the railway are becoming weary ,
and will make an example of some of
(
them. t

Osmond Republican. An old fash-
loned I mother lives In Osmond. She Is
' j n new mother , but she Is also old fash-
loned I , and as a proof her baby appears -
pears these hot days wearing woolen
stockings , a flannel skirt and a Manuel
jacket , with a coat over that when the
sun goes down. Next door there lives
a new fashioned mother whose baby
plays around In the morning In one
piece , and Is dressed for appearance
In any society in the afternoon with
two. The piece referred to , and a
dress over It. Let the women settle
which Is right after they have washed
the dishes one of these hot days. It
Is too much for us.
A Fishing Experience.
Plainview News : A party of fish
ermen from this place , consisting of
Frank Tepner , Henry Larson , Henry
Rasmussen , Charley Julian , A. M.
Eastllck and Frank Bishop wore up
on the "Ulg Muddy" last Sunday fish
ing for catfish but did not bring many
home with them Monday morning.
But It seems that "there was a rea
son. " Frank , Asa and Henry Rasmus-
sen were out on the river , In company
with four others , In a gasoline launch ,
when the boat struck a sunken snag
In such a way as to overturn the same
and spill them all Into the swift and
deep current. Of course it sank at
once , and so did the 200 or more
pounds of catfish and the 400-foot net ,
and the boys had their hands full to
get to shore , which they all finally
did without anything more serious
than a thorough ducking. They are
not thinking seriously of again going
out on the old Missouri in a gasoline
launch.

sive. hut a refreshing cool hieeze
came along at evening time and rub
bed Norfolk's brow witli a cold cloth
that brought Invigorating sleep.
