tFrom tne lieaaer. I
An Irishman and a colored man had
a grievance and agreed to submit its
settlement to Drawees. They further
agreed that when one of them was
licked and wanted to stop be was to
yell "sufficient! "and the other was to
let him up. in a secluded (pot they
went at it hot and heavy. After half
an hour llie colored wan cave up and
whispered "sufficient." "Becorry!
what a memory you have," raid the
Irishman. "Oi've been trying to
think of that ward for tin minutes. '
There was wild excitement in the
north part of town on Friilav morning
last at about three o'clock, wneu Mis.
Louis Smith who recently became in
sane and who was at the residence of
her daughter Mrs. Cba. Dee, escaped
frcm her watchers and was not over
taken until she bad got a block away.
When caught, nea the residence of
Alfreds fh began Jo cry." Murder,
help, for God's snko help." in a voice
that you cculd hiar ten blocks away.
By tho time her attendants got her
back to tho home the citizens in that
part cf town wero frightened out of
several year's growth, .many not oven
knowing that there was an insane pr
son within fifty miles. Su was taken
to the imane hot-pital at Lincoln on
Saturday accompanied by her husband,
Mr. and Mrs. Deo mil the sheriff.
Thero should be a stop put to the
promiscuous shooting with small ball
rifles within the corporation. A lmll
fro, ono went crnshirg through a win
dow in Joe Krause's residence last
week.
There was wild excitement nraong
the bootleggers on Saturday last when
they discovered that soir.o fellow hns
been quietly buying booze from them
for the purpose of using it for evidence
against them. It is reported that the
fellow demanded f 100 from the tem
perance people and that they refused
to pay it be sold it to the bootleggere.
Several of the hoc.o peddlers skipped
the town and the halanco have been
mighty nervous ever since. We doubt
if there is another town in Nebraska
or in the United States tor that mat
ter, in which tho authorities seem to
have as litte respect for themselves,
their fellow citizens or common de
cency as in Genoa at the present time.
On Tuesday afternoon a Polander filled
np on bug jaice to that exent that he
was unable to navigate and Ml upon
the walk in front of the old "Irriga
tor'buildi:iir whero he lay undisturb
ed for a loug time. Our city is with
out government or law, and at the
present timo is over-run with boot
leggers, gamblers and drunks, and if
the self respecting citizens do not get
a move on themsevles at the coming
village election and elect men on the
board who have respect for common
decency Genoa will soon bo an unsafe
place to reside, as holdups will bo
next on tho program.

TLe Apollo la akalutly the only Piano Player in
the world which plays the entire key-board of a piano,
(SS rotes).
The Apollo, by a simple device, instantly transposes
cnj selection into any desired key. This is invaluable
for accompanying the voice or any instrument.
The Apollo Moter is made of fine steel and brass, like
a watch, instead of leather and wood, as in case of
other Players. A good watch will wear from 30 to 40
years. Think this over.
The Apollo touches the key of your piano with a
finger instead of a Zcrer, consequently is non
mechanical. The Apollo enables the eperater to sit vpright in
a comfortable position. This is impossible with other
Piano Playrs.
The Apollo has a Phrasing Lever that stops the
music without stopping the motor.
Tit Apelle having less machinery, plays with one-Uiird less exertion than any other Player J It re-rolls the
music without pumping. You may think riano Players arc mechanical. Some or them are. There is a
difference in Piano Players. Ykon you hear the Apollo yoa will see the difference.

But finally rhe puzzle was solved, it
was Miss Lida Risemann. Your cor
