rk Tnocinr October 11th Mrs. D.
J. Clark was greatly surprised by
about 40 or 50 of her relatives and
friends gathering for dinner. The
events being her .r.th birthday, (but
by the way Mrs. Clark hopped around
looking after the wants of her guests,
ono might have thought it was hor
.1th instead of 5lth birthday.) It
happened this way. Mrs. Clark had
been in Omaha visiting and just re
turned the day before. Her daughters,
Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Inghram, Mrs.
Stevens and Mrs. Simonton got their
heads together and determined to give
their mother a genuine surprise, so
they went to work.' and cooked up
andprepared a royal feaet,one of those
we read about. On Tuesday morning
Mrs. GlarK was visiting one of her
neighbors, and there people were into
the secret so they took good caro to
keep her there until almost noon, to
enable those who were preparing the
viands to complete the preparations.
When most of those invited were
assembled, in walked Mrs. UlarK.
Her face was a study. She was so
taken aback, she could say nothing
for a few seconds, then realizing
the situation she lost no time in mak
ing her guests comfortable and at
home, in which capacity none can
excel Mrs. Clark. The hostess was
the proud recipient of many usoful
presents, among them being: Two
sets of teaspoons, berry spoon, tooth
pick holder, hot water jug, glove box,
cracker jar, glass fruit dish, cake

quantity of fruits.

Humphrey.
Berge and McKillip opened the
populist and fusion campaign at Hum
phrey today. They were billed for a
talk hist night, hut an accident on the
railroad and rains and their fears of
"trusts" in the way the farmer travels
prevented their appearance, until
today. Mr. Swallow who a few years
ago tried to make a love-feast with
fusion republicans with D. A. Hale,
the anti-monopolist or populist
(by the way McKiillp is a son-in-law
of the late Dave Hale,) acting as
chairman arose and said "The first
speaker needs no introduction. It is
P. E. McKillip". The audience
cheered him. He told us many of
what might he called funny stories.
While old to some of us, he claimed
they were original. The climax was
reached when he told how he weaned
a calf. J As his platform on the tariff
be said, "while I was on the ranch,
(just then Edgar Howard's bird flew
in the back way alighted on McKilip's
shoulder and said, "you bet") in
the western part of the state, I had
a cow. That cow had a ball calf.
(no excuse offered to ladies as there
were only four present) and that
calf was allowed to suck its(the calf's)
mother and it grew and became strong
and prospered and he (McKillip,
not the calf) wanted the calf to stop
sucking, but he (the calf) refused and
followed the cow, and insisted that be
(McKillip) was interfering wtih his
(the calf's) rights. So he said he
(McKillip) used severe measures, as
the calf insisted on sucking so he
caught him and split his (the calf's)
tongue. Jftsc' then the bird says,
'MAO let me see your toagae and the
audience thought he meant his divid
ed platform. It ws a nioe speech and
it is said that it caught B. B. Cow-
dery, Drake and possibly Cookingham
and as he sat down and smiled the
bird said, "That is right Pat, as you
killed the calf or stunted his growth,
if over these people let you get to
congress you will likewise strangle
our live industries." And the bird
alighted on the table to begin wait
ing for the candidate for governor.
t
Mr. Swallow tnen lntrouuceu jar.
Bergo, who entertained us by telling
us what he thought of the situation.
He told the story of the Irishman who
desperately fought the highwayman
aud after he had been mastered Berge
said, "He was like mo this minute.
He had only 20 cents" (Howard's bird
was heard to say 'two drinks please.')
Mr. Berge left a good impression of
himself as an artful campaigner.
He told how the land owner had to
pay his taxes, under the new revenue
law. He did not tell the renter of
land how his taxes wonld be reduced, j
And as the country north from Hum
phrey is owned by non-residents onr
people are willing that they should
pay their Ehare of taxes. It is not
the land owner, who lives on his
lanil that is raised in taxes as he has
also much personal property which is
reduced.
Joseph Gehr one of onr old timers,
who has lived here for about twenty
two years, died last Thursday morn
ing at the St. Mary's hospital at Co
lumbus. His son Waltor took charge

and buried from the Catholic church,
on Saturday morning. The pall bear
ers here were Peter Bender, Joseph
Brnening, Jacob Krebs. Joseph Gils
dorf, Chris Schreming, Henry Brnen
ing, Thos. Ottis, and Michael Zurlin.
The funeral was well attended and
ho was laid to rest in the Catholic
Miwttenr. He leaves four children
all of whom are married and several
grand children to miss the old gentle
man's kindly smile and word of cheer.

Fitzsimmont Under Arrest.
Just as we go to press we learn
that an officer from Lincoln has placed
E. C. Fitzsimmons of Lindsay under
arrest on a warrant charging Fitzsim
mons with grand larceny.
The charge is 'that Fitzsimmons,
while at a hotel in Lincoln, on Sep
tember 10th sent a boy to Mayer Bros.
for a suit of clothes. The clothes are
alleged to have been taken to Fitzim
mons's room. Fitzsimmons is said to
have retired to another room to try
them on, and to have disappeared
without accounting for them.
Fitzsimmons appears not fcto be
worrying about it as he says it is a
case of mistaken identity and that be
can prove an alibi.
Later Fitzsimmons is out on a writ
of habeas corpns.
CLOTHES A CURSE,
ClvlllsmtloM the Xeui of KlUla
Mmmr Seatfc S?m Xatlve.
The influence of the missionaries has
certainly been for the most part bene
ficial to the natives of the south sea
islands. The constant antagonism of
the less reputable trades and the beach
combers, the lost human flotsam ami
Jetsam of the south seas, to the mis
sionaries is shining evidence that their
work is for the real good of the na
tives.
But two things they have brought in
the life of our Joyous brown wards of
the coral beaches which are certainly
Calamitous. These are clothing and by
consequence pneumonia.
In the good old days the rains beat
upon the shining oiled shoulders and
back of the half naked as harmlessly
as on the well pressed plumage of the
wild duck, but now the cheap cottoa
shirt or white Jacket clings wet and
clammy to the skim the quick chill
strikes through the blood, and the end
comes with appalling swiftness and
certainty.
The gaudily beribboned, absurd little
chip hat pinned to the great mass of
long black hair and the immodest ho
luku of tho women and the tightly but
toned white barber's Jacket above the
bare brown legs of the men really
reach the climax of absurdity, and,
what is worse, they are unwholesome
both for health and morals.
But such is the costume of the saved!
Well, that they be truly saved, for
they have made a fair start in their
"mljinery" clothes to test quickly the
power of their new religion. Atlantic
IMITATION PEARLS.
Til Chemical PreceM My Which They
Are Produced.
Among all precious stones few are
so extensively Imitated as the pearl.
The real article Is a silvery white.
Iridescent gem extracted from the
pearl oyster. The genuine pearl la
really au unfrnctified egg of the oys
ter. Its Imitation is arrived at by a chem
ical process. The liquor employed in
the manufacture Is called "essence
d'orlent" The base of this compound
Is prepared by throwing into water of
ammonia the brilliant scales of a small
river fish called the blay.
The scales are first carefully washed
and put to soak In .water, when the
pearly-like film falls away and forms
a sediment at the bottom of the vessel.
This sediment Is worth to the manu
facturer 5 an ounce.
White wax of mucilage or gum ara
ble forms part of the mixture proper
for the more Important and expensive
Imitations, such as those made to Imi
tate the rare oriental pearls which
fetch fabulous prices.
The emerald is another stone which
is cleverly Imitated. A perfect emerald
Is the rarest stone in the world, though
the trade ranks it after the ruby and
the diamond. The best emeralds com
from Peru, the Imitations from France.
The real article becomes electric by
friction, and herein lies the difference
between it and the imitation.
Caralveroas Treat.
If trout are large enough they, like
pike, will seize almost any living thing
that comes in their way when hungry.
I have one pond in which are two
Wanda. On one of these are soma
farmyard rats. On one occasion a full
frown rat started to swim across. Be
fore It had got halfway a twelve
pound trout rose and took It under.
I have given them young mice and
rats when the farmers have been
thrashing. They are very fond of these,
and they take the largest frogs with
avidity, bnt I have never seen them
eat a toad. I have known them to
take young water hens, -and yonng
birds of any kind thrown on the water
are instantly made away with. Lon

Everyone
Should Know
the great advantages offered by a Through Car
Service on a journey east. If you can take a
car at your home town and not be disturbed
until you reach Chicago, it is an advantage
worth your while considering. This can be done
by asking for tickets via the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway.
No missing ft-niieetions no disagreeable chang
ing of ears, but comfort and ease. The trains
on this line are brilliantly lighted by electricity,
are steam limited, solid vcstibuled. and eiiuinjH'd
with every modern safety deviee known to railway
service, and the cost for tickets via this line is
no more than via other lines. For special rates,
time-tables, etc., write .'
