Hart since last Monday, left for Columbus Thursday. Bain, glorious rain, came gently Wednesday morning, falling slowly and steadily for about 5 boors. Then Wednesday evening it set in again, about 8 o'clock and kept it up nearly all Might, soaking the soil clear down to China. Corn has suffered considerably from the dry spell, but there 'is plenty of moisture :u the ground'nowfor it and for pastures and fall plowing, and we all rejoice.

Monday eying, as Mrs. Eva Perkins of Celambns was leaving; Genoa with a relative for,the country, a bottle of horse medicine, containing a dangerous acid, she was carrying, exploded, por tion -of the contents entering her eyes. 8ne was hurried to the office of Dr. Williams where prompt treatment doubtless saved her eyesight. A few weeks ago two jews arrived in Genoa and canvassed the town for pic-, tuxes to enlarge and succeeded ia secur ingseveral orders. Inst Thursday they returned to Genoa to make delivery. Every picture had a cheap frame around it, for which thelsralites demanded $10 ia addition to the agreed pries for the enlarged photo. Of coarse there was a kick from all who had contracted for pictures and in some eases payment for the frame was refused. lt the home of Dan Ooehraa the children of Israel be came, insulting when Mrs. Cochran refused to be held up for the price of the frame, and she telephoned her husband. Dan hurried to his house, and about two seconds after his arrival two badly bat tered Jews-were picking themselves up from the grass on the lawn.

Al says California would be a great state if they could find n remedy for the "shakes." He declares that whiskey and qninine won't phase 'em. If boys and young men could only realize bow much comfort and pleasure it means to their parents when they are steady, reliable, honorable and obedient, and how 'much pain they cause by diso bedience, reckless living, idleness and the like, we believe there would be fewer of them with the latter habits. When ever you bear a father speaking proudly of his son there is something; to Him. Mothers are often blinded by their devo tion, but the Old Man generally sees things as they really are, and only gives credit where it is doe. Ex. Some of onr. farmers arecomplaining because there is so little work being done on the roads. Wejl, the matter is up to the farmers themselves. If tbejr can't and won't do it, it cannot and will not be done. The new law requires the labor tax to be paid in cash, and all work tobejaid for ia cash. Now the township authorities are ready, willing and able to repair the roads, provided the farmers will turn out .and do the work, otherwise they are helpless in the nutter, as it is impossible, to secure men or teams elsewhere. The board has money to pay bnt there isn't a man in the banch who could earn his board working roads. BRLIiWOOD. From the Gaaetta: Mrs. Oscar Brewer of Columbus visited a few days the latter part of last week with relatives in this community. - Mrs. Zinnecker and two babies left BeUwood last Friday for St Edward, where they will be joined by Rev. Zin necker at the end of this conference year. Jap Bell, assistant cashier hi the Bank oT BeUwood. has decided to take a iay off and on Monday will leave for Lin coln. From Lincoln he will visit Cali fornia, Portland, Oregon, and several other states and 'expects to be gone a year or more. He is going in search of better health. Sidney Branson of Lin coln will act as sssistaat cashier until 'Jap's return. The Lincoln News says that d uring the last six yean Nebraska had twenty-four convicted murderers and only two paid penalty on the gallows. Gov. Savage pardoned seven of them. Seventeen ae to the credit or discredit or Gov. Mickey. With such .wholesale pardoning is it any wonder that lynch law is now becoming so popular? Ia speaking of the lynching of Higgins at Ban croft on Monday morning the Omaha News, in an editorial says the people of the Bancroft community feared that Higgins would escape as others have done; they have had plenty of grounds fortius fear from the examples of ill advised leniency, which has averted and is averting punishment from murderers. This is not advanced as any excuse for the Bancroft lynchers, but only places the blood of the murdered murderer upon the heads of those who are equally guilty with the lynchers Capital pun ishment may be abhorrent to some jndgnn and officials with pardoning power, bat at the present time in Ne- it is the legal penalty that is it to deter lends from committing such awful crimes as that' of which Higgins was guilty. Men have no busi ness to saaire tqpositions on the bench or on pardoning boards if they are too tender-hearted to isipose the stern pen alty provided by the law. And God have mercy on the oMeial whose con science accuses km el taring practiced the lsnisnoy that helped to bring about the lawless murder at Higgins, from a desire to make political capital oat of his "sasrey- aid thus to win votes at i . ;.

Auk- Peterson attended the Saenger feat at Grand island several days last week and reports having had a very en joyable time. It was decided to hyld the Saengerfest yearly hereafter instead of every two years. The meeting next year will be only what is called a "Aus tins" picnio for one day and will be held in Columbus. The regular meet ing of the Saengerfest will be held in Hastings in 1909. Jake Steffs and sister, Mnry, returned home from Chicago Sunday evening. Whill there Miss Mary came near being seriously injured by being rnn down by an automobile. She, in company with Jake, was crossing a street when an aut omobile going at a fast speed, struck her and knocked her down, but fortun ately the machine stopped before any serious injury was done.

Last Friday afternoon Henry Miller, who lives north of town was driving down the hill near the railroad track after leaving home, wjth a horse and boggy, when8omething broke on the harness and the horse ran. It kept in the road all right but Mr. Miller was uuable to control it, and came on to town, down through Main street. It turned the corner at the Benthack drag store, and Mr. Miller was thrown out and badly bruised on the face, but not seriously, although he is still quite lame and sore. The horse ran into the alley and stopped, without any damoge to the buggyr horse, although it ran nearly two miles. Mr. and Mrs. Earl McDonald, of Ne Iigh arrived here last Saturday. Mm. McDonald's maiden name was Mable Godkin, and she is a granddaughter of our townsman Jas. Burrows. There is a tinge of romance in connection with this marriage. The parents of the bride objected to her eveu seeing McDonald, but love, they say, "laughs' at lock smiths," and last Friday they eluded the old people long enough to get married and took the train for Norfolk, arriving here Saturday. Mr. McDonald, we learn is a prosperous young farmer near Nc ligh. They took yesterday morning's train for home, and in time will doubt less receive the customary "bless yon, my children" from the parents. King Came to Rescue. 'At the time of the marriage of the crown prince of Sweden, Miss Emma Thursby, the American singer, and Mme. Christine Nlllson were appear ing on alternafe nights at the Royal theater at Stockholm. Mme. Nlllson would sing in opera one night and Miss Thursby in concert the next. - Both ladies were invited to the court ball given by King Oskar in honor of the crown prince and his bride, and both wished to attend. But neither had a court train, and they were at their' wits' ends to know what to do. Every dressmaker in Stockholm was busy night and day; it was too late to order their trains from Paris. Mme. Nlllson finally solved the difficulty. "I will write to the king about It," 'she said. And she did. "Your most gracious majesty," she wrote in herletter, "Miss Thursby and I have no flans to wear to the court ball. What shall we do?" "Come without them. Oskar," was the answer they got back the same day. They went to the ball and had a memorable time. What He Wants. .When a man seeks your advice he generally wants your praise. Chester field.

About Star Points on Coins. . "Few people, with the exception of foin collectors, notice such minor de 'ails, but'it is a rather interesting fact to note, that on one side of some of our coins the stars have five points, as upon the flag, while on the other side the stars have six," an official of the Washington mint recently re marked. "In English heraldry." he contin ued, "a correct star had six or mor points usually six. When designs for the first' American coins were made the heraldic usage was followed and the stars given six points. The flag of the nation was made up very largely from the coat of arms of the Washington family, in which, for some reason, the stars have but five points. "On the obverse of our present quarter and half dollar the stars, 13 in number, are six pointed, while on the reverse they are five pointed. This difference is due to the fact that the reverse of these coins is simply a .copy of the great seal of the United States, except that the clouds are omitted. On the great seal and on the seal of the president the stars are five pointed, while the seal of the house of representatives shews six pointed stars." Where She Lost Interest. "Automobiling does tousle one's hair so!" said the beautiful young creature as they descended from the machine ana started up tne dark walk toward the house where they were to call. "It does?" he inquired politely. "Yes; it gives it the same effect as though one had been struggling to avoid being kissed," she gurgled. "Indeed? I fancy you should carry a small hand mirror and 6ome hairpins when you go automobiling," he sug gested, moving right up the dark walk Some way or other, by one of those unexplainable psychological impulses, at that very moment she began to real ize he was not the man she would se lect as an affinity. Judge. Good Natured. "They say." remarked Gabble, "that the after effects of the grip are as bad as the disease sometimes." "That's no lie," replied Brokley.
