From the Democrat. Mies Blanche Gookingliam has accept ed the position of book keeper in Diers Bros. Si. Co' store and entered upon her new duties the first of the week. John Gilsdorf has purchased the Corn lea drug store and is moving over this week., If John receives the patronage lie, merits he will do a good business at Cornlea. The Democrat wishes him access. Fat McDonald left last Saturday for Hot Springe. 8. D., to try the medicinal qualities of the springs of this popular place for her health. The Democrat hopes that he will return with his former good health completely restored. e Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Wemhof went down to Columbus Wednesday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Browne, the mother of the two children which Mr. and Mrs. Wemhof adopted eosae timt ago. The deceased had been a patient in the Col ambus hospital for several months. 25 years ago last week Valtin Gear aad his sister, Mra.Cdmund Aiber, came to the Uaited States from Germany, aad in order to celebrate the event a amber of invited friends aad neighbors gstherd at the home vof Mr. and Mrs AlberoatheVos. Bender place east of towa asd spent the day in a most fitting manner. Those present report a very enjoyable time. A number of town peo ple ware ia atteadence at the celebration. It is the opinion of the editor of this paper that the exchange of pencils be tween papils ia oar public schools is oae of the worst possible ways of spread ing disssss. In many schools it is the practise to have a box of pencils which at; FRISCHHOLZ SHOES CLOTHING ' Furnishing Goods 13 RKT.TAHT.K BIGHT 406 11th sKlll 2mrmU H aM 111 M rllllnlullmlll m " Mi mm wwl II I U Lb - RAfiATZ CO. Ton i COLUMBUS, NEB. are passed among the pupils and return ed to the box after use. In this way a disease may be rapidly spread through a school. The practice is ss btd as it can be and should be' discontinaed in every school in the land. The chances for the spread of disease are great enough in our schools without aiding theejpread in this manner. Persistent rumor that P. E. McKillip had sold his residence and banking in? tercets in Humphrey and contemplated moving elsewhere led the editor of the Democrat to interview Mr. McKillip. When asked point blank as to the truth of the rumors, he smiled and said: "No I have not sold my residence in Humph reganditis not for ale. I anticipate that it will be my home for some years come. As .to the banking interest I am acquiring more instead of less. The Mc-Killip-Ewing Ool has been traded to the Stefls Bros, for land, and I have been bending my energies to get my in terests so concentrated that I can take life easy. Oufcade of that there is noth ing to the rumors," The following from the Omaha News may be of interest to a few of the Demo crat readers, in as much as Dr. Allison has visited Humphrey oa different oc casions: "Mrs. Carrie Dimmick, mother of Luther Rich, a minor, claims $15,000 of Dr. C. C. Allison, as the price of one of her son's lungs. The suit was filed today in the district court. Young Rich who is 17, suffered from an abcess in the chest. It was necessary to operate upon him. At the suggestion of Dr. Allison, it is alleged in the petition, the boy was. taken to the hospital and the operation performed. He was discharg ed as convalescent. Later it was found that a second abcess had performed in the same locality. In another examina tion it is declared, a small glass tube about 2 inches in length, with a shorter tube of rubber, was imbedded in the boi left lung. This was due .to the physician's carelessness, the mother alleges. MONROE. From the BepabUcaa.

Towslee, the consideration' being about, $8,000.. Tha farm was owned by. Peter Johnson of Richland and was sold to Edward W. Worley of Illinois.

Mr. MsoQneen is an observant awn and good judge of agricultural conditions and we hope late weathef conditions will not change the outlook. Last Saturday evening Sheriff E. E. Sherman of Elk Paint, 8. D. arrived ia 8ilver Creek having in charge Leek Mc Cormick of Polk county. . McCormick, who hss had mental lapses prevkmsly, was in a terrible condition, apparently in the very worst stages of insanity. He was plsced in the village jail when he was guarded until Monday when Sheriff Enters of Polk county came over aad took him to Osceola. The followiag day the poor unfortunate was. removed to the Hastings asylnm. We frequently hear people any that in a towa the size of Silver Creek then should be, but one charch instead of 4 or 5, and all the people should aaite and hire one good preacher at a good salary and every body go to charch. How lovely! Also, how foolish! Why bless your eoal there are not eaongh churches to suit every body. Some-of them could be divided by at least 3 aad yet not make any too many for then would be bosses and noeres asholisr than though Christians.

' - But Hayes and not Blaine won the nomination. Conkllng's Appomatox speech in the Chicago convention of 1880 In favor of Grant captivated the country at the moment and "swept the convention off its feet" (except the delegates). Garfield's In favor of Sherman in the same convention was scarcely .Inferior to jConklitlg's in point aad power. Neither Grant nor Sher man received the. nomination. Garfield's speech for Sherman help ed Garfield to get the nomination him self hi the deadlock, although neither he nor anybody's else at the opening of .the convention had thought of him as a possibility: When Bryan made his "cross of gold" speech, which stampeded the Chicago convention of 1896, he was not, ostensibly, talking for himself, nor did anybody hi the .convention think of him in connection with the candidacy at the time he got up there to speak. He entered that convention as a member of a contest ing delegation and was unknown to the country at the time,,, though he had the presidential bee in his bon net and was working for his own nomination all the time that he was in the convention.

I. 5 ?, T '"' THE CAD By OIZawwMwt IV CtonrHaMii It seemed a direct repudiation of the long line of honorable ancestor traceable back to the days of the May flower, but aevertheless it was a fact Preston was a sneak, a cad. A man with less, egotism in his makeup would have accepted the pointed remarks and general coolness of his camp mates and the girls at the hotel as evidence conclusive and emulated the Arab traditionally spoken of 'as adept at foldlag tents and effecting noiseless departures. Not ao with Preston; he stayed. He had never been a warm favorite with the '"crowd," aad mnce the time when, smarting from Jealousy, envy and all the other mean feelings In the category, he had followed and spied upon Marjory Dalton and Blanchard in. their love making and thea babMed a description of the tenderest scene to the embarrassment and confusion of the young lady, tolerance had' given way to aversion. "Preston, yon contemptible cad," Blanchard-had said, after good-nights had been spoken and the men were back ia camp, "I've more v than half a mind to punch your head." "Why don't your Preston had asked mockingly, and his hand had closed in voluntarily upon his pocketknlfe, just as in boyhood it had reached for a stone when battle seemed Imminent. Blanchard had curbed his anger and turned on his heel; but all of the fel lows and most of the girls had agreed ia their indignation to call Preston "The Cad." Thinking he best showed, his vcon teasnjtior the ceasure of the others by a repetition of his despicable perform ance, keMs again engaged in spying apon the same 'couple from behind a patch of barberry. They were sitting ia lonerlike attitude upon a high bank that 'overhung; n treacherous bit of the lake. Devil's pooirsald to be bottom less for ita depth had never been sounded. As Preston watched, grinding his teeth in rage and. longing to wreak upon the man ,a Vengeance his very cowardice prevented him from at tempting, he saw something flash la the sunlight A .cautious investigation revealed a long hunting knife clasped in a powerful hand protruding from the shrubbery a little to bis left. Be side the knife was the ovll, rage-distorted face of Gaspard, the half-breed whom Blanchard had detected la thiev ing and unceremoniously kicked from the camp. The thing was plainly evident to Preston. The half-breed, probably crazed by drink, was going to murder Blanchard. He was not taking Into account the fact that the opportunity was a poor one that some dark night when Blanchard was alone would bet ter insure his chances of escape. He knew only that his enemy was, before him and Ills rage urged him to kill. .As the half-breed crept fosward Pres ton realized the awful horror of it all. Something of "good within him, prob ably a fine strain handed down to him by his gentlemanly ancestors, revealed to hlra the possibilities of the situa tion. Of heroism and valor he hither to had known nothing. Now, impelled by this new feeling that tingled his nerves like a tonic, his one thought was to serve his love to save her lover for her. The cost he did not count He sprang from his hiding place and dashed toward the half breed. Intercepting him and grasping the hand that held the knife just as it was raised above Blanchard, who. back to, wan unconscious of his danger. .With a snarl thevhalf-breed closed with his' assailant Around they whirled in n fierce "battle for supremacy, their struggles bringing them close to the edge of the' bank. Preston's strength had never been great and the sea soned muscles of the half-breed soon wore him down. The hand that held the knife wrenched free, poised a mo tnent hi .the air, then flashed down ward. Preston uttered a scream of agony, but did not relax his hold. There was a sound of crumbling soil and the rattle of stones; the turf be neath the combatants sagged, then gave way entirely and the pair plunged downward to the waters of Devil's pool. Some of the "crowd," attracted by the noise, came running up, and with Marjory and Blanchard peered from a Safe place Into the waters below. .The half-breed, without any evidence of Injury or fatigue, was swimming rap idly toward the opposite shore. At the foot of the bank, where the ripples were widening, the water was tinged to a deeper hue. The cad was seen no more by man. "Who is it?" someone asked hi awed tones. Blanchard straightened himself with an effort . ."The Ca " he began, then stopped, (lushing with 'shame. "Harry Pres ton," he amended, his voice vibrating wth feeling, "as white a man as ever lived." Marjory held oat- her hands to him la -silent appreciation of the eulogy. Her eyes were misty aad shone with a .light that bamed interception. Deep gown in the inner sanctuary of her heart she was enshrining the memory of "The Cad."" " A Slew Champ.

U ONE MAN MOT PLEASED. Orator's Compliment to Town Called Forth Warm Protest. Two interesting stories are told of the late Gen. W. H. L. Barnes, of Cali fornia. One concerns a campaign 8peech"that the general made in Red ding. Being a diplomat as well as an orator, Barnes, who had not been in Redding for a decade or more, sought to say something flattering about the town's growth. When he reached the filling in stage of his speech, he said: "I want to congratulate the citizens of Redding on the wonderful progress of their beautiful city. When I was last here, not many years ago, I had to-put up at a ramshackle hotel, with poor accommodations and badly cooked food. What do I find to-day? A mag nificent caravansary with a cuisine worthy of a metropolis." The compli ment won applause, and after the meeting was over many of the audi tors crowded to the platform to shake hands wKhNthe speaker. One old fel low, with a pioneer beard, waited pa tiently for his turn. When he reached the general he calmly put his hands behind him, shook his head angrily and blurted" out: ' "All I want to say is that you're a white-headed old falsi fier. I kept that hotel." The other story deals with the spe cial session of the legislature called to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of the solons of 1899 to elect a United States senator. Barnes wanted the honor, but the compromis ers passed him by and picked out Thomas R. Bard, of Ventura. The night of Bards' election Gov. Gage was roused from his bed by a caller who refused to wait until morning. Gage opened the door and there stood Gen. Barnes. "Governor,"csaid the general solemnly, "you called this session to fill a vacancy. Instead of filling a va cancy you have created one." And then without another word the' general stalked away.
