The Bellwood Gazette, speaking of
our Sons of Veterans at the installation
and banquet on the other side of the
river, says: "The Sons from the Colum
bus camp were present and were found
to be very jolly and very hungry, as they
ate long and hearty and had to be taken
from the table upon advice of the post
surgeon. The boys met with many mis
haps on the road which were not caused
by drinking strong coffee, but rather by
Bro. Cross' determination to he driver
after assisting the D. V.'s at washing
dishes. After several rounds of martial
music the crowd dispersed wishing that
such gatherings came oftener and trust
ing that the boys of Camp No. 134 may
survive the feast and meet with us many
times in the future."

NOTICE.
The Great Eastern Canal has only the
Beaver river for irrigating land during
the coming summer, unless contracts for
water are made in sufficient amounts be
fore April 1st, 1898. to justify the tap
ping of the Loup, which is not probable,
and the company has sold nearly all the
water from the Beaver that they feel
justified in selling. Canals, when first
built, require a greater amount of water
than is really used for irrigating, be
cause of waste and the loss from seepage.
A large number of people have remarked
that they would take the water, should
their crops require it by reason of dry
weather. The company would be glad
to accommodate all, but will be in duty
bound to furnish water first to those who
have made contracts. We make this
statement at this time that no one may
complain if the company is unable to
furnish those not having contracted
when the dry spells come.

The editor of the Schuyler Quill,
John C. Sprecher, who went blind in one
eye in a single night, consulted an
oculist of Omaha, who said that it was
caused by a clot of blood, and treated
him with a view to thinning the blood
and forcing the clot. As this availed
nothing ufter five weeks, Mr. Sprecher
tried Dr. McRae of Omaha, the osteo
path, who treats without medicine. The
Quill says: "The doctor made an exam
ination and pronounced the cause of
blindness to be a dislocation of one of
the joints in the neck, and indeed there
seems to be eomethigg wrong in that
regigs sa a bone projects in an undue
way and is quite sore to the touch. He
claims that this dislocation closes up the
artery and shuts off the circulation to
the eye." The Quill further says that
Judge L L. Albert is being treated by
Dr. McRae for deafness and his neck is
also said by the doctor to be dislocated,
but in his case the dislocation interferes
with the nerves which communicate with
the ears and causes deafness.
Vashti Lodge No. 108, Rebekah de
gree gave a farewell reception in their
beautiful ball on Monday evening, the
31st ult, the occasion being the removal
of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Notestein to Den
ver, Colo., iu hope to secure better health
for Mis. Notestein. A program was
carried out address "by P. G. M. Hud
son recounting pleasant reminiscences
of the Rebekahs in this city in the '70s,
paying a glowing tribute to the early
workers, notably Mrs. Jane A. North,
Mrs. Tbeda M. Coolidge, Mrs. Jennie
Tiffany, also many others who have
passed to their rest. Mies Maud Hat
field gave two fine recitations. Mr. and
Mrs. Dr. Geer sang a duet and Mrs. Geer
a solo to the delight of the company.
Recitation by Elsie Hudson. Readings
by Mrs. Maud and Misa Birdie Dussell.
Little Mary Fairchild, in Bweetest tones,
recited "The Barefoot Boy." Supper
being now ready and the ladies anxious
to have the company seated, threw open
the lodge room doors and permitted the
aroma from the fragrant coffee to per
vade the room; it was evident that eome
of the brothers (the sisters would not
admit it) felt "an aching void" that a
seat at the tables so bounteously sup
plied could fill. That the above surmise
was 'correct, the master of ceremonies
had to pass along the line of tables and
with a significant sign tell Bud Newman,
J. a Hatfield, J. S. Freeman, W. T.
Ernst, H. B. Reed and others it was a
pleasure to see them fill themselves, but
with prudence eat and not kill them
selves or we might have to keep our
good natured brother Dr. Geer out of
his bed all night. So another very
pleasant episode along the highway of
life has made its impress upon our
"sensitive plate" as Bro. Notestein put
it, as a photographer would "develop"
his ruling passion. Brother and Sister
Notestein will never lose the "negative"
of this farewell reception by over sixty
of their friends brought together by the
ready response of so many who were in
vited by Sisters R. Jenkinson, J. C.
Tiffany, Geo. Fairchild and Chas. S.
Hudson, whose happy thought enabled
so many "their social bond renew." h.
