Warnings to farmers are appearing in various Nebraska papers, reminding them that they ate equally guilty with grocerymen if bad eggs are sold, and are liable to punishment under the pure food law. The process of candling is simple and ensures safety. An old Scotch lady used to be attend ed by a doctor to whom she invariably gave a guinea when he went to see her. He had told the friends with whom she lived that her death would probably be sudden, and one day be was hurriedly sent for, as she appeared to have become unconscious. On his arrival he saw at once that the old lady was dead, and taking hold of her right hand, which waa closed, but not rigid, he calmly extract ed from it the fee which she had pro vided for him, and as he did so he mur mured: "Sensible to the last."

Kas.:MA whole family was stunned by lightning at Janvier, four miles from here, during Sunday's storm. The family of David Bunger was sitting about the room talking when, according to narrative of the persons involved, a bolt of lightning came down the chimney, entered a cupboard and shattered many glasses and dishes, paased across Mr. Hunger's arm and killed a valuable dog he was patting on the head.

Mr. Maker, who makes bis home with the Maher family, south' of town, is 83 yearn old, and (what1 few of as can say), this is the first time in hm life that he has ever been sick or under the care of a physician. The family of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lynoh was madeliappy by the birth of a daughter on the 18th of July at their borne inNew. Plymouth, Idaho. This is the first'dsughter in the family. Their other child is a boy, 12 yeara old, and thie little mist is doubly welcome. Last Friday a three year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Keogb, living several miles northwest of town, soaked a piece of bread in some Dahry fly poison liquid, and then ate the bread. The result wss a very sick child, but a physician reach ed there in time to save its life. Among the passengers to the county seat Wednesday we noticed Mr. and Mm. P. F.

A ride of from six to eight miles west of town will give one an idea of what the hail storm of three weeks ago means to the farmers. On the road directly west you have to go but about six miles to notice the effects. Not a shock of grain in sight, but in their place, it the grain be wheat, will be seen long wind rows of blackened straw; muoh of which owing to continuous rain, has been spoil ed since mowing in the hope that some thing might be saved. Oat fields have commenced to grow up green again and if nothing better ia realized there will be an abundance of fall food. Those fields of wheat are being threshed, but the most that is being realized is about five bushels of inferior grain to the acre, and in most instanoee less even than that. The best of it yields but little more than ooet of threshing. The corn, most of which was beaten to the earth, is coming on again lively, but under most favor able conditions will make but a fraction of a crop. But those who were effected have not lost courage, they are looking pleasant and saving what is left.

The cement sidewalk men are busy these days and by fall Genoa will have . twice as much cement walk as any town of it zize in the state, in fact there will be but little walk that is not cement We have heard people claim they could hear corn grow but this is the firet year in history that you can see it grow. Sit down and watch a good heal tey stock of corn for a few boars and you can absolutely see it shoot heavenward. We have' always heard that Hell wast in it with Texas and now we know it. A dispatch to the daily papers from that state the first, of the week . an nounced the thermonieter down there last Sunday registered 197 in the sun and 117 in. the ahade and that cattle hogs and people dropped dead. The post office department collected last year over $97,000 .in fines from pea pie who were caught sending letters en closed in packages upon which ihey paid less than letter postage. Don't send letters in your packages you send by mail for if Uncle Sam catches you at it he will make you jump sideways. News is received from St. Edward to the effect that Harry Casey, son of jack Casey, formerly of this section, waa drowned in the mill race at that place on Monday afternoon. He drove into town Monday, put up his team, got some dinner and then securing a fishing pole went to the race to fish. This was the last seen of him, Search was made for him yesterday morning and his hat and fish-pole being found on the river bank, the mill flume was dragged and his body found. He was 21 yeara old. The agricultural editor of the State Journal is responsible for the following eatsy? "The farm laborer has passed. Now the man on the farm rides out to plow corn carrying an umbrella over his head. He does the fall plowing with a sulky implement carrying a spring seat. He rides to town in a phaeton. The harvesting is done by machinery, and the threshing has but little of the man ual labor once attached to it. The farm boy cornea to town once in a while now. but that is uaually after he has secured enough money to go into business, or has laid plana for following some city business that does not require manual labor." A trio of bums struck Genoa last Sat urday. One of them claimed to be an umbrella mender while another waa sell ing wire forms for coats, etc. In the evening they congregated south of the track and proceeded to bowl up and Marshal Bester ordered them to either go to. a hotel or quit the town. They west to a hotel. In the morning while eating his breakfast one of them insulted the woman waiting on him and waa thrown out by the proprietor, Julius Phillips.
