They went by the way of Central City, stayed a day or two at the Meridian, took in the sights, made Co lumbus merchants happy aad then it ia said they pulled out for Fullerton. Doctor Pearoe got a little out of aorta with the dullness and monotony of . this part of the country, and thought he would try a few daya north of the Platte, so himself, wife and daughter pulled out for the northern country last Friday and visited with the Many Moons of Colum ns. ui We have noticed the namea of parties in the Omaha papers who, it is claimed, were the oldest members of the Order of the Eastern Star in the State. It may be so, but the years thst they were made Stars, were not given. Columbus shies its castor into the ring, and unless these parties rode that goat before 1867, then Columbus clsiras the honor in Judge and Mrs. T. H. Saunders, for they took the .degrees in the year 1867. W. 8. Miller and Doug Gibbons are as uneasy ss a fish out of water, and W. S. especially, since he sold his Gosple Ridge residence.

Osceola has furaished three Grand Mat one for the order since its organization in the state, viz: Mrs. H. A. Scott, Mrs. L. L. Snider and Mrs. Anna I.

Any amount of trouble arises from trying to read or write by a bad light; not only does it affect the eye. but the whole' nervous 'system as well. Work done by a poor light Is aever a success; the brain and hands can not do their best under a strain, and time aa well as health Is wasted. In the country candle or lamp light Is geaerally used, for a gaa or an elec tric plant la not always near at hand. It is often a good thing, for most of the ocular trouble nowadays Is put down to (he electric burners. For a good ateady light there ia nothing better than a lamp, but like most everything It has to have atten tion.
