CENTUM. CITV. From the Nonpareil, County Attorney Ross received notice Friday from the clerk of the supreme court that Merrick county had won in the suit wherein Geo. A. Hoagland had attempted the collection of taxes asses sed him here. Mr. Hoagland's conten tion was that his yard here was indebt ed to the main office in Omaha and that this indebtedness was a just offset to the value which the assessor placed on his property in this county. The point raised by him was a new one. The court holds in favor of Merrick county's con tention, thus sustaining the verdict -of the district court. Section hands on their way to work this morning found the body of a man, literally torn to pieces and scattered along for over a mile, at a point about three miles east of Chapman and on the east bound track.

He was a prominent citizen of this section for nearly forty years and old neighbors and friends sincerely mourn the depar ture of him and his estimable family. May the blessings of contentment and prosperity abide with them in their new home is the wish of the writer. GOOD ADVICE FOR HUSBANDS. Written Long Ago, But in Every Way Applicable To-Day. A clergyman took down a small volume. "This is called," he said, "the 'In structions of Ptah-bo-Tep.' It is one of the very " oldest papyrus writings known. It gives, among other things, advice to husbands, and that advice is as good to-day as it ever was. Listen." And he read: " If thou be wise, furnish thy house well. '"Woo thy wife ever, and never quarrel with her. "'Nourish her daintily. " 'Deck her out, for fine dress Is her greatest delight. "Feed her upon sweets. -'"Perfume her. "'Make her glad with praise. "'Adorn her with Jewels, feathers, and the skins of beasts, as sumptuous ly as thy purse will auCer.'

Young Lawyer Himself Again with Familiar Style of Address. The following anecdote, after re maining in storage many years, has been recently dusted and brought to light: A young and afterward distin guished atoraey from an up-country district of New York state was arguing his first appeal hi the old general term of supreme court He had been in many legal scrimmages in justices' courts, at home, but' had never stood in the awesome presence of five se date and learned judges of the su preme court. In general term assem bled. His embarrassment was great. He repeated himself and misplaced his words so often that it was quite evi dent that he must soon be routed by his own confusion unless something should occur to break the spell. Finally, and just as he was flounder ing the deepest in a chaotic jumble of language and Ideas, the presiding judge Interrupted with the following remark: "Mr. Smithera, I believe it will be a great relief to yourself and to the court If you will address us in the same free and informal way that you doubtless use in addressing your local justice of the peace." "Well, then' replied Smithers, "I wish that while I am busy alleviating your honor's dense Ignorance of the law, you would keep your d d mouth shut!" The court laughed heartily and waved for him to proceed. He grew eloquent and won his case in the midst of hearty applause. The Bo hemian. Painted from Life. The monk who acts as guide to the many people that visit the old mis sion at Santa Barbara, Cal.. is a pic turesque and Interesting figure. In his brown robe of heavy, coarse mate rial, a rosary hung at the cord belt, and the cowl thrown back from his closely cropped head, he is in strange contrast to the fashionably dressed visitors. He shows a pardonable pride in the mission and all Its contents. The curiosities which remain from the time of Mexican rule in California, the exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and the mural decorations are pointed out in .a manner approaching reverence. Although he is occasionally inexact hi his descriptions, he Is sincere, and his naivete Is so amusing that it would be a carping, small-souled critic that would take issue with him. Concerning one of the paintings In the church, he once said to a party of tourists: "This Is a picture of the Virgin Mary, painted from life by Murillo." Great Water Power in Brazil. Consul George A. Chamberlain of Pernambuco sends a comprehensive description of the Paulo Alfonso fails and the San Francisco river, situated in that part of Brazil. The falls are 230 miles from either Pernambuco, hwhich has a population of 200.000, or Bahia, with 230.000 people. The aver age volume of the river Is 1,000 cubic meters (one cubic meter1 35.316 cubic feet) per second, and between Jatoba and Piranhas, a distance of about 65 miles, the fall is 756 feet, 400 of which takes place in the rapids, extending about 15 miles. This vast undeveloped water power will become in time the nucleus of a great industrial circle. A new cotton mill is being erected near Penedo, and there are a few other small factories using this power, but these little establishments are almost nothing compared to the industries which the great river should foster. Heroic Deed "Fair Decent." One of the Carnegie hero commis sioners now in New York recently made a visit to Canada to Investigate the story of Sandy Ferguson. He learned that Sandy had jumped into a river filled with floating Ice, swam a hundred yards, rescued a drowning boy and after a great struggle got him to shore.- As a result of his cold plunge Sandy was stricken with pneu monia and for a long time hovered between life and death. In the course of his Investigation the hero commis sioner visited Dr. Cameron, who had attended Sandy during his illness, and from him heard the story in all Its details. "Do you think Mr. Ferguson performed a really heroic act?" the commissioner Inquired of the doctor. "I klnna say," said the doctor. Then, after a pause: "But It waa fair decent ' Sandy." tat- II mit, II use of floor, make the biscuit. From Bad te Worse. Wife (angrily) Well, there's ao In arguing the matter.
