The deep Bnow and the continued below zero weather, is having its effect upon quail as on the 2nd inst a covey was fonnd two miles northeast of the city under some trees and on being flashed, two of them were fonnd to be frozen and one unable to follow the flock. There is one flock here that will probably pull through, there are about 20 in number and have taken ap their abode in the field east of Mrs Annie Zybach, who lives on Fred Stenger's upland farm. Mrs. Zybach's son seems to be friendly to the quail and we believe tliey will protect them until the ground is again bare when they can hustle for themselves.

Everyone Should Know the great advantages ouered'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 bv asking for tickets via the Chicago- Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Xo missing connections no disagreeable chang ing of airs, but comfort and ease. The trains on this line are brilliantly lighted by electricity, are steam heated, solid vestibuled, and equipped with every modern safety device known to railway service, and the cost for tickets via this line is no more than via other lines.

Self control or nerve force is the great lesson of health and therefore of life itself. To understand how to re las is to understand how to strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is a source of relaxation, as are also all high thoughts, as those of lioiic. beauty, trust or love. Relaxation is found in diversion. An occasional outing or holiday is neces sary. As there are conscious and un conscious thoughts, there are conscious and unconscious nerve tensions. Wom en when shopping do not know the very tight grip they give their parcels until, on reaching home, their bauds fall re laxed in their laps, and they say they are so tired Health Culture. The Eaiemld. An emerald that has no flaw in It is typical of the purest love. Some peo ple say that, as few such stones can le found, purest love is necessarily rare. An emerald was always thought to possess the power of discovering treachery in the shape of alleged frii-mls. The emerald is exceedingly popular In courtships and in marriages. After marriage it is supposcu to unng harmony Into the household and to further domestic joys in every possi ble way. To lose an emerald is said to bring business misfortunes and dis aster.

The valentine dance given last even ing at Orpheus hall by Prof. Poole and the Orpheus orchestra was one of the best and best attended of the sea son. About 45 couples were present. Punch was served by Misses Olga Rasmussen, Janet McAllister, Fay Scofield and Velma Covert. The dancing was continued nntil one o'clock and everybody had a good time. It was an invitation crowd and the attendance was from the best people of the city. MisB Helen Grantly, who will be seen here in a revival of "Her Lord and Master," is the youngest star on the American stage today. She began her professional career only a few years ago appearing in" Vanity Fair. " "Her Lord and Master" which Miss Helen Grantly will revive this season might be called a modern "Taming of the Shrew." Although it does not followShakespeare's story verv closely it nevertheless teaches the same mor al embodied in the Bard of Avon's immortal comedy. Tom Arthur's clever comedy com pany, presenting a most satisfying dramatization of Sir A. Co nan Doyle's tii6t Sherlock Holmes book. "A Study in Scarlet," is the attraction at the North opera house on Wednesday, Feb. lit. The play is meeting with instan taneous success wherever produced and is tbe talk of the entire dramatic season. More than ordinary interest is centered on that great detective character, Sherlock Holmes, about which the play is constructed. Every one is familar with Mr.Doyles works, which are read and enjoyed by all classes the same can be said of the play. SCHUYLER MILL ChauncyAbbott of the Wells. Abbott 8s Nieman mill company of Schnyler. was in the city yesterday visiting the merchants who handle flonr. The mill at Schuvler is a great credit to that city, having a reputation for turning out more corn meal than any other twenty mills in the 6tate. The state of Montana is almost entirely supplied in corn meal from this one mill, and many car loads are shipped to European coun tries. The capacity of the plant is 1800 burets a day. This thrifty com pany started their business with a small mill on Snell Creek, three mil?s north of Schnyler and have, through their bard labor succeeded in making the establishment what it now if. SNOW BLOCKADE. -The rural mail carriers have been prevented from going their entire route daring this last cold weather, H. B. Reed, carrier for rente three being the only one who made the entire trip on any day for over a week, which he accom plished last Friday. On Monday Mr. Reed got as far as the Backenhaus farm north of Shell Creek and many farmers walked a distance of several miles to get their mail. On the branch roads the snow plow has gone to about the limit of its asefulness ana pas sengers say there are places going np on the Norfolk branch which are bank ed with snow on either side as high as the engine, and the snow plows used in this part of the country wonld be nnabe to throw the snow any higher. Another big snow wonld certainly be a calamity for railroads and people who are compelled to travel- The Window barn people were called to carry a physician to Oconee Sundayand although a sleigh was meed for traas portation, the hones went into snow p to their necks in a few places, and ia several iastaaoes had to tie dag out Malta la 1747. The change in postal arrangements in New York since "the good old times" may be seen by the following adver tisement, copied by the Troy Times from Bradford's New York Gazette of Dec. 0. 1747: "Cornelius Van Denburgh as Albany Tost designs to set out for the tirst time this winter on Thursday next. AH letters to k by him are desired to be lent to the iostotlice or to bis house near the Spring Garden." During Hudson river navigation tlie Albany mail was transmitted by sloops, but in the winter a messenger, as above mentioned, was required, and it is prob able that be traveled on foot. The win ter average of the eastern and southern mails is given in the same paper ami same date as follows: "On Tuesday the Tenth Instant at !) o'clock in the Forenoon the Boston and Philadelphia Posts set out from New York to perform their stages once a Fort'nite during the Winter months and are to set out at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Gentlemen and merchants are desired to bring their letters in time. X. B. This Gazette will a !.?. come forth on Tuesday Mornings during that time." An Unbroken Spell. When we have a "spell o' weather," and wet weather at that, we have only to recall the climatic conditions of Dartmoor, in England, in order to be thankful for a little. The moor lias, says a writer in Corn hill, an eternal procession of clouds, infinitely varied in form, lighted with a white radiance or lowering in gloom, rent, tattered or iilmy, gathering, men acing, creeping round to swath you in a mist of rain or dropping one of those silvery showers lighted with sunshine from behind. Of heavier rain there is no lack, and all one can say of the perennially beau tiful moor is summed up in the verse invented by its enemies: The sortli wind always brings us rain. The north wind blows it bad; again. The west wind faiircly means wet weather. The east wind wet and cold together. Waiting I'pon 111m Bride. Two hundred years ago it was a cus tom very general in England for the bridegroom to wait upon his bride on their wedding day. The following ex tract from John Shebbeare's 'Matri mony," a book published in the middle of the eighteenth century, testifies to this and refers to the popular super stition about it: "The dinner being served. Sir Oliver was the gayest man In the company. The bridegroom and bride sitting by the side of each other. the old gentleman observed: Ods-he.irt. ods-heart: What, dine with the bride the first day! A line bridegroom; a fine bridegroom! It was the fashion when I was married to stand behind the bride's chair with a napkin and serve her. Serve her today; she'll serve you always after. " Dre.

Conference on Stewardship and Evangelism-This was one of macy conferences held throughout the state under the direction of Rev. C. J. Pope of Grand Island, chairman of the Etato committee on Stewardship. Evangelism was considered only in so far as Christian giving is a necessary factor in the evangelization of the world. The meetings began in the Baptist church Wednseday evening. The Lonp& Elk horn association was represented by six delegates from three of the churcheB Rev. Herbert Kyder spoke on "Con secrated Hands." showing by numer ous illustrations that succofb is poss ible only as we consecrate the talents and means in our immediate postes sion. Rev. Henry WilliauiF, D. D of DesMoines.Iowa. tbe Baptist Miss ionary Onion's able secretary of this district, delivered a stirring address on' Giving and Receiving." The day sessions on Thursday were given over to discussions led by Dr. Williams. Revs. Benjamin and Ryder and Dr. Proper. These discussions revealed a strong conviction that wo are not absolute owners but merely the stewards of what we possess. It matters not in what profession or occupation man mav be engaged, the raw material with which or upon which he works is from his Creator. And if all Christians would give their proper share, the interest due God on the borrowed means, thero would be no need of looking hero aud there for special schemes to cover the church expenses. Dr. Williams spoke on "The Sin of Covetousnass. " The goodly number who turned out to bear Dr. Cook, the superintendent of the national committee on steward ship, were destined to be disappointed. After the song and prayer service, led by Rev. Heide of Platte Center, it was announced that Dr. Cook could not be at the meeting. He was due on No. 2 yesterday afternoon, but ow ing to 6torms the train was 8 hours late. Rev. D.D. Proper of DesMoines. Iowa, district secretary of the Home Mission society, spoke instead on" The Missionary Spirit." A good interest in the conference was shown ty the other churches. Revs. DeWolf and Halsey led the piayer services on Thursday, and the prayer services in the other churches were omitted in favor of the confer ence. Mrs. Elizabeth Kummer.

Even if nu do not dance or rare to look at the mtuqueraders, don't forgot to parel.nw n ticket to hlp the firemen. THE COAL QUESTION The cold weather has been a matter of much concern to the man who shovels cual and to the man who pivs tho bills. It may be of interest to onr readers to know that the small sizes of hard coal aro running short in the western stares as well as in the east. Columbus is not in any immediate dancer, how ever, as the coal men seem to have a reasonable supply on htind. Weaver &Newmau have bad one car of haul coal on the road from Chicago for three weeks. The samo firm has had as many as sixty rails in one day for coal and have run as many as five wagons delivering to customers. At the IT. p. coal chutes there was only t5 tons on hand this afternoon, and the epgines use from 1"0 to '."0 tons a day. BRAVE SCHOOL TEACHERS Among those who deserve credit for bravery and pluck durieir tlys cold weather, nono deserves more praise than the country school teacher who faced the storm and risked being stuck in a snow drift on her vvny to her work. Among the bravest cf the Co lumbus teachers is Miss Anna Hoehen who teaches about twentv-two miles northeast of here in the Boheet neigh borhood, and Miss Bertha Schupbach who teaches across the river. Miss Hoehen engaged a liveryman, John Egger, to take her out yesterday and for nearly a half mile, at one place J in the road they were compiled to shovel 6now in order to get through. The road to Bobeet is considered one of the worst in the county. Miss Schnpbach tried to reach ber school Snnday bnt be: horse got stuck in a snow drift and farmers near by bad to dig the snow out in order to relieve them. Seta Braun will not teach nis school north of town this week, his di rectors notifying him by telephone that they thought it unnecessarv to try to have school. Tourist Gars Popular The idea that an inferior cI;ifb of" )io)Io i:itnni. tho tourist .sleepers i.s an error. On many tnp.'t only tho best claps or traveler are found. They ant merely men and vtomeii of Kood fenso who would rather travel TO CALIFORNIA in this manner and save a snn;,' bum of money to be used elsewhere. It isbe- tfinninj,' to le understood that it is by no means necessary for tho travelor to spend a larjr sum of money in order to enjoy a trip to the eoat. If you cross the continent in oneof the tourist sleepers of tho UNION PACIFIC you will enjoy tho trip and sane fonf-ulerabJe monev. Inquire of W. II. BENIIAM, Atfont.
