C. H. Aldrich met with quite a loss
yesterday morning, his trotting mare
Belle Wells, holding a record of 2:17,
which he had sent over to Red Oak, la.,
for track training, dying. He knew tbe
mare was not well, and Tuesday sent
Dr. Sprague over from here to look after
her, but yesterday morning received a
telegram from him that the mare was
dead. She was considered one of the
best of her record on the western race
tracks, and as Mr. Aldrich held no in
surance policy upon her the loss is quite
a heavy one. Had she lived she would
no doubt have made a more brilliant
record for herself this season than that
of last year. David City News.
We clip the following dispatch from
St Edward to the State Journal under
date of April 17: "Last night about 9
o'clock Mrs. Dr. Britell fell on the street
and died in about twenty minutes. She
was taken to Dr. Flory'a office when
first discovered, but nothing oould be
done to save her life. Dr. Britell waa
fishing at the time, but although a mes
senger waa sent for him, he did not
arrive till too late to find her alive. Her
eons, Harry Britell of Columbus and Ora
Britell, at the state university at Lin

besides the above eons, one son, E. C
Davis, a business man of this city."
Mr. and Mrs. Britell went up Saturday

The daily papers at Omaha, Chicago
and various parts of the country have
been reporting, during several weeks
now, n sight of lights in the sky, which
they give forth as carried by an air
ship. Various descriptions have beau
given of these floating air vessels, but
there has never been anything positive
enough to hang a belief on. The nearest
that we have happened to see ia that the
directors of the Trans-Mississippi ex
position have had a letter from a man
giving his name aa A. C Clinton, who
aaya that he is the inventor of an air
ship; that he has made it a success, end
that he will exhibit it at the exposition
if he is given space. He also promised
them a personal call at an early date.
Margery McGaffin, a young
lady about 20 years old and daughter of
Editor McGaffin of the Independent, let
a pin which she had in her mouth slip

lodged in her throat, and of course was
very distressing. Dre. Cummins and
Marsh worked for several hours trying
to remove it, about two hours of which
time the young lady waa under the in
fluence of chloroform, but -they were
unable to remove the pin, although they
could feel it The pin finally psasad in
to the stomach, and it is hoped no se
rious results will follow. She was in
great distress all day Saturday, and
fainted several times Saturday evening,
but Sunday morning ahe waa able to be
up and dressed, and has been improving

There were several men in the saloon
at the time, or Mr. Becher aad his bar

The man caught at the head of the

Mrs. Isabel Davidson, wife of the law
yer that obtained a divoroe under false
'pretenses, and afterwards married Miss
Dietrich of this city, has been heard
from. She is at Springfield, Illinois,
and makes this statement:
"On October 5 of last year my hus
band left our home at Quincy in the
morning, saying that he had to go to
ruyson, twelve mues from Cuincy, to
try a law case, and that he would return
that afternoon. He took all the money
in the house, and that is the last I have
seen 'of him. On January 19 I reoeived
a letter from him, dated at Chicago, in
which he said that be didn't care where
he went, and that he never expected to
see me again. That was the last I heard
from him. I was not notified of any
divoroe proceedings being brought
against me in Nebraska, though my hus
band must have known that I was either
in this city or Quinoy, and the first in
timation Lhad of a divoroe case against
me was reading the article in the papers.
I notice in the Quincy Herald (which
had been shown Mrs. Davidson by a re
porter) that my husband's father says
that" he did not know of my whereabouts.
That statement is not so, for I wrote
him a few weeks ago from this city,
asking him if he knew of the where
abouts of my husband, and he never
answered the letter. He must have re
ceived it, for I marked on the envelope
a request thst the letter be returned to
me if not delivered within ten days. My
father-in-law has charge of all of my
poooeonions. Every charge made by my
Husband against me in his bill or di
voroet, is false. There never was any
serious trouble between me and my hus
band1,' and he treated me well during the
time' in which we lived together, the
only1 complaint that I have to make
being that he failed to support me."
Two of F. J.Tesek's boys and one
of MraVJanacek's boys of Schuyler, aged
12 and 13 years, were the ones guilty of
the attempted derailing of a Union Pa
cifio train last week east of Schuyler,
mention of which was made in last
week's Journal. Inquiry in the neigh
borhood in which the boys had been on
Saturday disclosed that the John Craig
school house had been forcibly entered
and a lot of pencils and pens stolen, and
other misdemeanors committed. The
evidence seemed to implicate the boys,
and at 9 o'clock Monday night Marshal
Fulmer arrested one and Sheriff Kroeger
the other, and they then confessed to
having broken into the school house and
also to having placed upon the railroad
track a heavy stone, which was struck
by the Overland limited at 6 o'clock.
The boys said the train jumped about a
foot high when it struck the rock. Not
satisfied with this and, as they stated it,
wanting to "see the train turn over in
the ditch," they placed the three thirty
six jnch angle irons upon the rails,
together with eleven bolts about three
feet long, which they removed from a
railroad bridge near by. The boys are
not known to have been previously en
gaged in any similar work, although the
Pesek boy has been looked upon as a
daring leader and prolific suggeeter of
schemes for dangerous kinds of fun
among the small boys. Young Janecek
seems to have been led into the mis
chief, but neither seems to have had
anything in mind beyond seeing the
train roll into the ditob. They have
been in school, having been quite reg
ular and fairly studious. The boys are
now out on bonds pending a hearing in

Wallace's . Farmer, always on the
lookout for suggestions of practical ben
efit, says of the soggy corn, that it ia
now-ueeioaB to shell it, as, if shelled, it
must1' be sold for what anybody has a
tbind'to give. It is folly, therefore, to
shell it; it is scarcely less foolish to let
it remain as it is. If once dried, it will
keep indefinitely. It will not' be the
beat of corn, but ita food value will be
greater on the farm than anywhere else.
Where the cribs are full, build on a
sixteen foot extension, it will cost much
less than the loss of the oorn, then move
the corn from one end to the other till it
is dry. A good band will move from
1,000 to 1,500 bushels of corn in a day,
and that day's work will be better ex
pended as a rule than in growing a new
crop. Let us take care of what we have,
even if much of it ia poor truck and get
it dried once so it will keep indefinitely
and there ia no doubt but that we shall
find use for it 'We feel sure that tbe
farmer who baa oorn of which he is in
any doubt will regret it if he does not at
once examine it and if it ia in bad con
dition adopt this suggestion.

Tbe Madison Chroncle observes that
it is the man who marries the new wo
man who is going to get the most out of
this life, for even in living there is ev
erything in knowing how. And, far
from leaving man out of her problem of
life, her philosophy is teaching her to
look for his possibilities with the same
anxiety that she employs in studying
her own; that to adapt herself to his
individuality need not necessarily im
peril her own; that the first element in
the forming of this perfect home which
it is her ambition to establish is perfect
congeniality of spirit between herself
and her husband.

Oa December 7, 1896, n murder took
puce in my family, at whisk time my
wife reeeived a serious wound by tbe
stroke of n gua, the ksmmsr or lock of
taeffuabetac driven into the knee. We
employed a doctor at first and the limb
became very painful and extremely
swollen until December 30, when Will
iam D. Acor came, after which we treated
as he advised with his liaiaMut, aad in
fourteen hours she wee able to walk upon
the limb. About February 11 a piece of
bone and a rag came out of the knee at
the opposite side from which it waa
driven in by the gun hammer, the rag:
being a piece from her clothing. In the
meantime she was kept so relieved of
pain as to be able to walk without much
diflculty, while before that we had to
carry her. The medicine removed all
swelling and thickening of matter which
had collected in the flesh by so long:
suffering, and in a abort time the limb
became perfectly stout again. I take
pleasure in recommending Acer's Lini
ment as the beet and most useful lini
ment I ever saw for healing and relieving
pain. Manx Qvaeaa,
