Here after when liquor is shipped dirreet to consumers it must be labeled on the oat aide "Intoxicating Liquor"- Another lew enacted makes the ilace of sale the place of delivery; For instance, a man. in Genoa cannot bey liquor in Omaha and hared it shipped to Genoa, if there is bo licensed saloon here. Another law-enacted requires express companies to keep a record of all persons who re ceive liquor. The record will be open for publio inspection so that everybody may know who receives intoxicants.

There. was only one ticket in the field which caused little interest being taken. However, when thebal lota were counted, it developed that there had been more interest talken in the election than most people thought snd that there had been n little work done on the quiet. E. F. Wentz and Jao. Kerbs, the regular nominees were elected by ssfe majorities L.D. Diers received 31 votes and Ilenry Fox received 20. In justice to Messrs Diers snd Fox the Democrat wishes to say that neither gentleman solicited votes in any way; in fact, they did not know that their names were being used in this connection, and would not have consented to their names being used had thiy known it Mattie Finis, wife of Richard Fiaia sad third eldest daughter or Mr. and Mr. S. 8.- Shote, died at the' home of her parents northwest of town last 8unday af temoon.'at 2 o'clock after an illness lasting only a few days On the previous Monday the deceased was in Usual good health and she and her hus band had' made preparations to m-ive to the Nels Pederson farm in Madison county where they intended to live this year. Tuesday she was taken suddenly ill with severe pains in her head and back and continued to grow wore until death relieved her Buffering It is thought the cmse of her death whs brain fever. This is particularly a sad death for the reason that only a few weeks ago, on March Gth, the deceased waa united i'i marriage to Richard Finis aad the young couple was starting out in life with the brightest prospectB for the future. The funeral was held from the home of the deceased parents Toes day afternoon, Bev. George of Kalama zoo officiating, and- the remains Irere placed in the Humphrey cemetery. The deceased was only a few weeks older than 29 years. The Democrat jdns in extending to the young husband, father and mother, brothers snd sisters heart felt sympathy. Why "a Canard r Does anyone know the origin of the word "Canard." a duck, as meaning a false report, especially in a newspa per? I came upon the explanation only recently, says a writer in Vanity Fair. It Is this. About 1860 a.French journalist, being hard up for news, wrote an amazing story in a leading Parte journal to the effect that he had kept and fattened 20 live ducks, and one day being short of duck-food he killed one, chopped it up, and distri buted it among the other 19. The fol lowing day he slaughtered another bird, and the 18 ducks ate it up. So he went on from day to day, until there was only a solitary duck left, which had, of course, assimilated most of the other 19. The enterprising press gentleman then related that he had this last duck for his own dinner, thus practically eating the score of birds at one meal. The amazing yarn weat the round of the papers at the time, aad formed the origin of the term "canard" for a thumping big .story. ' Hotel Ways Abroad.
