He expects to move to Colum bus by the first of March. Some Columbus capitalist might take into partnership with him a live carpenter and with the addition of money and muscle, time and talent, form a combination hard to excel for money gathering, and at the same time be a very great benefit to this city.

The matter of rural mail routes is going to be very closely associated with the improvement of the rural highway. The better the condition of the highways, the eswer it wiU be to secure the benefits of rural mail delivery, for the reason that the government will pay only jnst so much for a service which must be of a given number of miles in length of route traveled. Thus, if the roads are bad, ao one will be willing to serve a such carrier for the compensation paid. Cum ing County Democrat.

While visiting here Mr. Zinnecker preached for the Methodist congregation a sermon highly spoken, of by those who heard it.

Four cases of smallpox were reported Thursday night in the family of Mrs. Anthony, six miles southeast of St. Ed ward. The youngest ia a child of 4 years the oldest 12. The disease hss been in progress more than ten days and mem bers of the family have been present at dances and other public gatherings. The disss is supposed to have been carried there by a daughter of Mrs. Anthony from Leavenworth, Kansae,who thinks she got the germs in the waiting room of the depot at Yalley, Nebraska, from a woman whose face showed signs qf smallpox. A strict quarantine has been, established. The burglars who looted Wolf k Bro.'s store at Elgin and who were cap- tared at Tilden, says the Madison Chron icle, have acknowledged their guilt and been sentenced to terms in the peniten tiary. They gave their names as Frank C. Myers, George Wilson and Frank E. Lias. That they are professional thugs there is no doubt. A second search was made in the Neligh jail and skeleton keys, steel saws and a revolver were found and a little later a steel saw was found hidden in the bedding. The offi cers then exercised due vigilance and in addition to putting heavy shutters on the windows, a guard was placed over the men.

At her home, Oconee, Sunday morn ing last at 9-30, after nine days' illness of pneumonia, Carrie, wife of H. B. Fen imore, departed this life.

Joseph Webster, a prominent citizen of Monroe, president of the Monroe Bank, died Tuesday of last week at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Hill, Springfield, South Dakota, whom he was visiting.

Mr. Webster once held a government position among the Indians near Yankton, Dakota, but had for many "years been a resident at Mon roe, this county, and was a man of irre proachable character. He was a mem ber of the Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers. His wife preceded him to the spirit world several months ago. Mr. Webster was born in 1825, and leaves the two children mentioned. The funeral occurred Friday. From all parts of Nebraska come reports of a great demand for Nebraska real estate, more land changing hands than at any time since the rush of set tlers to Nebraska was at its height, The great growing made by the state, both in the agricultural and stock-growing portions, is having its legitimate result. There are thousands of acres of Nebraska soil, now idle, which present splendid opportunities for those who desire to engage in farming or stock raising on a larger scale than is possible in the more thickly settled portion of the country. There are also thousands of acres of cheap agricultural lands within the reach of those who could never hope to secure the high-priced lands of the east. Many have discovered the advantages, but Nebraska is willing to show many more the road to wealth. Omaha Bee. Albert Porter raised some over 400 bushels of pep-corn last year, the yield being 30 bushels per acre. The price quoted now is 3. cents per pound. That would be $2.10 per bushel. That makes a pretty profitable crop The Congregational church people have placed their order for a pipe organ. They have contracted for an instrument that has been used for a short time, and which if purchased new would have cost close to $2,000. It will only cost them about'fL200 set up in their church Will Kesternon's little two-year-old boy had a very narrow escape from death Wednesday. An elder brother had been using a jack knife and had laid it down o a chair open and the little one got hold of it and started to go into another room when he stumbled and fell in such a manner that the knife cut a four-inch gash in his neck. Luckily the knife was dull and only cut deep enough to draw the blood. Albion News. The.Nebraska Art Exhibition, which hi now being held in Lincoln, and which close oat the 16th, has probably been visited by more people throughout the state than any other art exhibit outside the Trans-Mississippi. The fact that at the teachers association held in Lincoln last week some 1300 teachers were given free tickets into the gallery, gave a wide spread advertisement to the splendid exhibit Of the 113 pictures, there are none eapeeially famous, but the com mittee made selections from the leading artists of our time. Among them are several who have been recognized at the Paris exposition this year. A large por trait painting by Wm. Chase, valued at $L500 ia one of the least noticed in the room.

There are now several piles sticking up in the- middle of Polk street which can be used as a platform from which political "stump speaker can orate. David City News. Peter L. Bnhmann, of C. F. Bnhmann of Creston, this county, lost his life at Norfolk shortly after 12 o'clock New Year's moraing, by being blown up while firing a salute near the Norfolk foundry. Nina charge had been exploded? He waa in a stooping posture when the accident took place, and the Newa thinks death must have taken place instantly, aa investigation showed that the skull had been frets tured, and there wnsevideace of a severe shock on the breast, which would alone have beea fatal. Both hands were blown off aad the left side of his' face blown away. He waa 23 years of age, and a barber by trade. He served from November 1899 to June last with Co. H, Thirty-ninth Volunteer Infantry in the Philippine. At the time of his death he was employed a a barber. The body was given a military burial Thursday last at Creston. He was a sober, indus trious, young man, highly respected by his acquaintance. Every man waa once a boy. When he waa a boy he had some thoughts about becoming a man. I have a great deal of concern for the boys of the coun try and feel that some of them do not get a chance to make the meet of them selves. If they don't have a tyrannical father and a nervous mother, they are to be congratulated. Some mothers spend a great deal of their time making the boy's life miserable because he wants to play on the carpet. The two feet of boys are worth ten thousand feet of the best carpet on the earth, and there will be plenty of carpet long after the boys have grown to be men. To keep the boys on the farm will depend upon what they think of home. They should think more of father and mother than anybody else. When the boy begins to doubt the actions and words of his parents he is not long for that home. Treat the boys as if they were human beings and make them feel that they belong to the family. Iowa Homestead. We are glad to note that newspaper editors generally give the facts in regard to matters of this kind. The gravity of the situation in Nebraska today would be very serious were it not for this course of the editors. After all, there is nothing like the truth. The Fullerton News says: "The smallpox is yet with us and in more generous quantities than last week. Six new cases have broken out at the home where the first patient was quarantined, but they are all very light, due to the fact that all had been vacci nated. A child of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Jarvis is also down with varioloid. Mr. E. Smith who lives northwest of town and was taken down last week, is getting along nicely. The family of Mr. John Bone, south of the river have come down with the disease within the past week, but all have it in a very mild form. The disease has prevailed to a considerable extent in the south part of the county where whole families had it but thought it was chicken pox and no precautionary measures were taken. Life in the Klondike doesn't seem to be so bad, after all; flour ia only $10 a sack; corn meal 35c a pound; sugar 25c, and everything else in due proportion. After the hardy pioneers shall have set tled down to their regular gait and busi ness gets duly started, Alaska will be one of our best possessions. It is coming along faster than people generally give it credit for. Its area of 577,300 square miles has shown a marvelous develop ment the past ten years, and from pres ent indications the next ten will even far outrival that. The old rule of rapid and permanent development being in ratio to the extent ofthe coast line of a country, will doubtless apply to this portion of Uncle Samuel's domains. Its coast line of more than 8,000 miles is over two times the coast line o! the United States on the Atlantic and Pacific, exclusive of Alaska. It is perhaps a little early yet to consider scheme of emigration to this new gold region for the coming season, but the probability is that Nebraska will furnish a good-aaied colony- thi year.
