Mr. Frank Lewie, of Weeping Wa-. ter, arrived here Saturday to spend the holidays in company with Mrs. Lewis at the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hoare. The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Shea, of Colnmbns, was blessed with a eet of girl twins Thursday morniBg. Mr. Shea is remembered here as the brother of Mrs. G. M. Gmnther. A new bell for the Lutheran chnrch near Careton Peterson's farm was received here and taken out to the church Monday. The bell alone .weighs 800 pounds, and the hangings weigh 400 ponnis. There are at present fourteen pu pils which belong outside the district attending the public schools in Platte Center. They pay a tution fee, those in the high school one dollar and in the other departments seventy-five cents a month. Sister M. Felcia. nee Katie Shea, p&EBed through Columbus Thursday from Colorado Springs to Lafayette, Ind. Her sister Mrs. O. M. Oraen ther, accompanied by Mrs. Max Bruckner and the children of the Gruenther family, went from here to see her during her short stop in Co Iambus. Mrs. Emil Schoen received a mes sage Saturday to hasten to the bed side of her brother, Albert Cramer, who lay seriously ill at Llnwood, Neb. Mr. Cramer is suffering from an acute attack of appendicitis, and from last reports was doing some better but was not yet out of danger. r Our community was much startled last Friday by a report circulated that the possibility existed that Carl Bran ner, who died at the residence of his brother, Ambrose 'Brunner. Wednes day morning and was buried Thurs day morning, wss not really dead but only in a trance when buried. This young man wbb a strong, healthy look lng person, with a very florid com plexion, and dying as he did of heart failure, the faoe remained very plump and life-like, impressing any who saw it more like sleep than death. So persistent were some of these people that the brother, accompanied -by several other men, went to the ceme tery Fiiday afternoon, disinterred the body and brought it back to town where it was deposited in the bare ment of St. Jospeh's church. Many people viewed the remains that even ing, and were satisfied that the alarm was unfounded. The remains weie reinterred Sunday afternoon. It is an unpleasant thing to think that there is a possibility of a human be ing buried ere the spark of life has departed, and perhaps this was the only way in which many could be convinced that no mistake had been made. St. Edward. From the Advance. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Clark nd A. Powell, jr., were passengers for Co lumbus on the Wednesday noon pas senger. They will proceed to post themselves upon a few valuable points at the poultry show.

As Mr. Ireland -expects to leave Saturday for New York to take a pot-graduate course in medicine and surgery, he was desirous for re ducing his business connections here to the lowest limits. This business has been a very fcuccsesful one from tho very day tnat Messrs. Ireland & Gibson took cnarge of it a little more than two years ago, and Mr. Gibson is to be congratulated upon coming into possession of a good paying busi ness. Mr. Fitch, the efficient drug clerk who has been at the store for the last six months, will be retained in his position. Little regret will be felt bv the boys of the First Nebraska regiment that served in tho Philippines that Major Mulford. who became our colonel after the death of Colonel Stotsen berg, has been sentenced to six years in the penitentiary in the Philippine It lands for embezzlement of rawfe f onds. After the fight April 23, few of the boys had even a little confi dence in the Major's ability as a mili tary man, and his personal conduct at no time was such as to command ad miration After the regiment had been mustered out. it developed that s our dear Major had deserted bis first wife and had taken unto himself a second, without having secured a le gal divorce, which fact did not tempt many of the boys to change former opiuions of their dear new command er. The writer dees not feel that it would hardly be just to send congra tulations to his former superior com mander, but we do feel that we can heartily join with many of the boys in rejoicing that fthia man whose ambitton prompted him to send as in to a trap, a trap which cost the lives cf Colonel Stotsenberg, our townsman . Lieut. Sisson, and many others of the rescue party, has at last reoieved a ticket for a free birth in a permanent Government position. Monroe (Too late for last week). Ed.
