Miss Grace Graft Vent to her mw " -uotue five miles west of town Sunday '- 'after a nine weeks stay at the Red Cross hospital where it will be remembered ... sue had her le amputated. Her many friends will surely join in the hope that - -'there will be no further tronble to mar '. the good result now promised. A. Missouri editor who handles the -.' truth with an abandon that is positively -v. .shocking, tells of a farmer in his country ' who has been bothered with black birds. Seeing.rhem perched on his barn one u morning he ran to the house for .';' his shot gun. Quickly proceeding to load it he discovered he was out of shot Grabbing up a paper of tacks he poured ' the contents into the gun, and then '-. hurrying to the barnyard he turned ' ' both barrels loose on the Hock. Imagine bis surprise when he found that he had ... tacked ever last one of the birds to the .'.barn roof. While calling- his wife to '. .

Schavland, one of the prominent merchants of Madison, made an assignment of his stock of goods to trustees for the benefit of bis creditors. Mr. Schavland did a great amount of business. No cause is given for the failure. Out of about 42 pupils in the primary room of the public school, 25 are staying at home this week getting ever an at tack of the measles. There arc no severe cases that we have heard of, farther than the mere severity of keeping the young sters shut up in a dark, hot room these beautiful spring days. And oh! the amount of fun that is being last is simply awful. BEIdYWOOD. From the Gazette. Mr. and Aba. Baker came over from Columbus Saturday and visited with Mrs. FJaxel, mother to Mrs. Baker. J.

Although she lived fifty years with her husband as a legal wife, Mrs. Mary Jane Allen, of 15218 Pratt street, Omaha, widow of Lieut. Robert I. Allen, has been unable to secure a pension because of the various state laws prohibiting miscegenation. Mrs. Allen' is a negro and her husband was a white man. Sen ator Brown has just succeeded in get ting a pension of $15 per month from April, 1907, for Mrs. Allen, and he was able to do this only because Mr. and Mrs. Allen had at one time lived in North Buxton, Ontario, Canada, where the law had not made marriage between whites BROS.

Ex-County Commissioner Coatt-llo was here from his home in the Irish settle ment Wednesday, and in conversation with the writer said he had never seen winter wheat prospects better, and that there wasn't a poor piece in his neigh borhood. Wednesday forenoon a rather seedy looking fellow, followed by three ill-fed dogs, walked into town and later in the day gave an exhibition on the street, consisting of slight-of-band ' work' and Indian club swinging, which was not bad. The dogs also did several clever tricks, although one of the animals had to be pulled out from under the side walk a couple of times by its master be fore it would carry out its part of the program. Asmall'collection was taken np after the performance. There was another hearing in the John N Voboril bankruptcy proceeding before Referee Wagner at Schuyler on Wednesday, and a number were down from here' as witnesses. The, secreting of goods to hide them away from the creditors was inquired into. The claim .of Voboril for exemptions was beard and taken under advisement, ttie attorneys to file briefs with the referee. Some two years ago Boss L. Hammond said through the column of the Fremont Tribune that the time would come when some Nebraska saloon-keepers would be glad of an opportunity to sell booze six days-ia the week and Boss was right That time is slready here, as some 280 saloon-keepers who are going oat of busi ness on the first Tuesday ia. May bear testimony: The hich-handed aaethmla I employed by the liquor men and their hk uwregaro ior iaw nas seen one or the principal causes for them being drivaa oat of business in so many Ne braska towns. HENRY m StLVgJt CKXKK. From the Sand. Mrs. D. F. Davis spent Wednesday afternoon with her daughter Mildred in Colambns . Mr. and Mrs. B. Wyman of Polk county were in town Wednesday on their way to visit relatives in Odumbus. Mrs. Mabel Ketcheu went to the Oo 4umbus hospital Monday for treatment. 'She was accompanied by her mother airs. T. M. Petbick. L. A. Gates went to Columbus Wed nesday to see his sister,. Mrs. Myrtle Adcock, who was brought from her home at Hugo, Colo., for treatment at the Co lumbus hospital. He says that Myrtle is rapidly recovering hsr health, which news is especially 'gratifying to her many friends here. A sight gratifying to the eyes of man, and causing him to envy the possessor, can be seen on the farm of Chas. Woos ter. three miles west of town. By the courtesy of the owner, on Tuesday last Mrs. Davis and the writer drove through the most beautiful peach orchard it has ever been their lot to behold. Situated near the bank of the Platte in an almost perfect state of cultipatidn. Mr. Woos ter has 800 peach trees, set in seven rows, eaoh about a quarter of a mile iu length, and when we viewed them, tney were nearly all in fall bloom, and such mag nificent blossoms were never excelled in their . fullness snd perfection. Their fragrance lingers in onr nostrils snd their beauty in our-vision ss we write this, and'O, what a satisfaction they will yield to the ever greedy stomach when the ripe fruit shall be plucked, if the ever proverbial frost doee not pre vent the fulfillment of our hopes! Two young bloods by the names of Turner .and Goldiog, claiming to re present the Omaha T. M. G. A. of Omaha, slid into town Monday night, with empty stomachs and sore feet They stated that they were on their way to walk to San (Francisco for a prize, the winning of which required them to make the journey on foot within 70 days. They made a brave start, getting 110 miles in 6 days, and then laying over here-two nights and a day to recuperate. It is the honest opinion of Sand that they will get as near to San Francisco as Clarks, unless some kind mamma picks them up and spanks them. They haven't enough gumption to get out and follow a corn plow, let-alone walking 1.800 miles. While the youths were here they ate at the expense of Banker Bell and slept in a spare bed in the Sand office. CENTRAL CITY. From the Nonpareil. Never was there a finer prospect for fruit in Merrick county than this spring. The orchards ate simply loaded with blossoms snd every tree is crowned with a riot of color. The fervent prayer of every owner of a fruit tree is that Jack Frost will cancel his post-season visit this year and give the buds a chance. According to the Shelton Clipper, the Union Pacific has offered to pay $1,500 for the death of Florence Lutes, who was killed by a train in that town Feb ruary 21st The committee of three men, representing the mother, refuses, how ever, to accept this amount and asks for $3,500. It is likely that the matter will have to be taken into the courts as the company shows no inclination of paying $3,500. A small sensation was created in Pal mer Monday morning when it became known that Mr. Bothwell, a citizen of that place had discovered a baby girl in a sack of feed in his barn. He bad just gone out to feed bis stock and upon reaching into a sack for some ground feed found the mite of humanity alive and dressed. The infant was about twenty-four hours old. Immediate steps were taken to find the parties who were responsible for abandoning the child and J. A. Gcolidge came to Central City to consult County Attorney Rose. The latter iuformed him that a complaint would have to be filed in the county court and the matter taken up under the juvenile act. No complaint has yet been made. A rumor, implicating par ties at Wolbacb, came to th:s place Tues day but no confirmation of it has been received. I.EIC.H. From the World. Dr. E. H. Hyland was over from Co lumbus several days the first of the week on professional business. On Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the German Lutheran church in Leigh, Rev. A. F. Lutz united in marriage Ed ward Held and Miss Christina Marth. . The use of kerosene' while starting a fire in the cook stove at the Northwest ern hotel Wednesday evening caused quite an explosion. While no damsge was done it caused considerabls confu sion throughout the building. Warren Fusselman returned Tuesday evening from Montana, where he spent the past nine months with the family of his eon Ed. Mr. Fusselman tells us that he enjoyed bis stay there very much, that the scenery is beautiful and the climate ideal, but that the wind is always blowing, so much so that many people there milk their cows in jugs for fear the wind will blow the milk out of a pail. AIiBIOS. From the News. Dave Jackson is here from California looking after business matters and call ing on old friends. John Peters was taken sick very sud denly Thursday night and was in a ser ious condition for a time, but he seems' to be improving slowly. H. K. Anderson's.family left Tuesday morning for Newman Grove, where they expect to make their home. Mr. Ander son went over Monday. We failed last week to mention the departure of G. W. Hoffman to Gold' field, Nevada, on Tuesday. Charley ex- Where the firiegt biscuit, cake, hot-breads, crusts or puddings are required ftoyal.h indispensable.

It makes the food more taity, nutritious and wholesome. peots to try his luck at mining and his friends here wish him success. Chas. Fisher, who lives about nine miles southeast of here, was a caller at this office Mondsy afternoon. He said he killed fifteen coyotes one old one and fourteen young one's last week. Mr. Fisher had the misfortune last New Year's day to have one hand shot off The arm gives him considerable pain yet. Rev. Stone was a passenger to St. Ed. ward this morning. From there he will go out to the Okay Congregational church in Platte county where be will attend a meeting of Baptist laymen from the neighboring churches to determine the advisability of establishing a Baptist organization at the Okay church. The Congregational people have nearly all moved away from that locality and the Baptists feel that it is a field that should be looked after. ST. KDWAKD. From the Advance. Mrs. W. P. Eagau entertained a few friends Monday evening in honor of Mrs. Chas. Buck of Oconee, who is spending the week in St. Edward' at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Thomp son. Joseph Westbrook died at his home south of t.Edward at about noon Friday, after a prolonged illness. Funeral ser vices were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mr Westbrook was one f the very earliest pioneers of Boone county. Sarah Wiley, daughter of Robert and Sarah Wiley, was born in Wetherstleld, Henry countv, IU , Feb. 5, 1855. She was married July 17, 1875, in Platte county. Neb., to Thomas Harris. They came at onoe to their homestead in Boone county, near Boone, where they resided until they moved to St. E.lward about three years sgo. Mrs. Harris was the mother of eight children all of whom are living and were present at the death bed. Mrs. Robert Stillinges, Fred Harris, Mrs Wm. Jenkinson, Maude, Robert, Pearl. Thomas, and Laura. Her father died twenty five years ago but she is still survived by her aged mother, two sisters both present at the time of her deati: and one brother. Sim died April 18 1908, at 9 a. m. ECONOMY IN CUTTING BREAD. European Idea American Housewives Would Do Well to Copy. France and Italy have the reputa tion of being the least expensive coun tries in which to live, and this is ow ing not only to the price of food stuffs, but also to the extreme care with which everything is used. An example of this studied econ omy, which, in time, becomes second nature, Is their use of bread. In both countries mentioned only enough bread is cut to provide the family with one piece each. Should any one else wish for bread, two pieces are cut, and this process is repeated until the meal is over. By this method there is no bread left cut from the loaf to dry in the box, and one- baking lasts four full days, not two days and a half. Perhaps It sounds too economical; perhaps the generous hostess might think that it was not true American hospitality. Indeed, it is the best treatment for guests and family alike, for bread that stands but a short time in the dish Is sure to be just a little dry, while bread just cut is sweet and fresh. In Cleaning with Naphtha. To remove the very disagreeable odor of- naphtha from gloves, or in fact from any waist -or gown that has been returned from the cleaners, the article should be placed as close as possible to a steam heater, or directly upon the radiator If possible. The steam heat thoroughly dries out what ever of the fluid may have remained in the material, and does so without the danger of explosion which makes It Impossible to dry a naphtha-cleaned garment anywhere near an ordinary stove or fire. After naphtha-cleaning gloves, laces; ribbons, etc., at home, 'they may be placed directly upon a steam radiator, and will be found to dry- In half the' time ordinarily required, and the odor will entirely disappear hi less than aa hour's time. iff Powder fitehrfia To TksPuhlic The Union Pacific will sell roand trip tickets to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego for the "arrival of tha fleet" at rate of $60.00. tickets on sale April 4th-5th-25th-26ib, good for, return limit of sixty days.
