"a&OUT OUR NEIGH BORS AND FRIENDS CLIPPED FROM OUR EXCHANGES QKXOA. From the Times. Joseph Truman1 and family, who moved to Jennings. Louisana, several years ago, have changed their place of residence again. They are now living in San Antonio, Texas. The convicts in the penitentiary will soon commence the publication of a weekly paper. An Albion printer, who was recently sentenced to a team of six years for statutory offence, will have charge of the new paper. jure. .Mouay writes to men da in Genoa, that her brother. John Gray, died suddenly at his home in Seattle the first of June. Deceased was well kuown to many of oar citizen", having been at one time a resident of this place. BJe was a lawyer by profession, and while living here was editor of the Leader, and also taught in the public schools. He was a charter member of If t. Nebo Lodge, No. 135, A. F & A. M., and was regarded as one of the beet posted members of the Masonic frater nity that ever affiliated with the local lodge. FDXLEBTON'. From the Post. James Blade and family left for Grand Island the first of the week, where they will make their home in the future. Mrs. McKelvey and daughter Miss Marguerite will move to Columbus the first of July. Miss Marguerite is one of the best telephone girls the local com pany ever had and patrons of the line will deeply regret her departure. f We expect to have local talent to make the high dive at the Fourth of July cele bration. We have it on good authority that two prominent young ladies have been practicing in the creek back of Matt Leach's house, and have acquired considerable grace and agility. They will do doubt be given an enthusiastic reception when tht y make their debut. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. 'Ellsworth cele brated their golden wedding at their home here in town Tuesday. They were married June 6th, 1858, at Windsor, Oonn. They have six children all of whom were present including Gilbert Ellsworth and his daughter, Dorothy, of Iowa City. They were present 18 child ren and grandchildren to eujoy the pleasant occasion. Columbus. I BBSS HMl'i TT'i" fcUMPMttY. From the Dtoomt J. W. Wallers of the Colmmbaa brew ery was attending to basinet in town the fore part of the week. ' Mrs. John Walker came hone last night from Columbus where she visited friends and relatives a couple of weeks. Mrs. E. O. Hamilton of aOraaha and Elan Hockenberger of Columbna, aieoe of Dr. Metz were the guests of the Mela family the fore part of the week. Miss Julia Kris, who has had charge of the primary room of . the Humphrey, public seboote the past two terms, left Saturday'for her home is Lincoln. Dor--ing her stay in Humphrey Mies Krisl made many friend who regret seeisg her leave Humphrey for good. She is undecided as to whether she will con; tinue teaching scnool or not. The eiitor of the Democrat has pur chased the Platte County Leader plant and subscription list of this place, and will consolidate the same with thai paper. It has long been conceded 'that there is not" room in Hamphrey for two good papers to exist. The Democrat has had no fault to find by reason of there be ing two papers here. The second paper was a burden and an unnecessary ex pease to the business men of Hamphrey. Mrs. Jacob Beimfor aiany years a resident of this city and- 'the Oraaton neighborhood died at her home in thte rity about fire o'clock Wednesday eve ning after an illness of a complication of diseases lasting for three or four weeks. The deoeasedTwhose maiden name 'was Mary Ann Zeicer, was born in Germany in 1833. In her young years she came to America and in 1865 she was united in marriage to Jacob Reus who depart ed from this life ten years ago. At the first meeting of creditors in the McKillip bankruptcy matter held before Referee Wagner at Columbus. Nebraska, on Monday. June-8th, R. P. Drake of this place was elected as trustee. On calling on Mr. Drake we were informed that he would qualifiy and make arrange ments to enter actively upon his duties as soon as possible, and expects to be able to handle the same as expeditiously as possible, but the same will involve much work, time and possibly litigation. It is difficult as yet to even make a guess as to the percentage the same will pay out, awaiting results in recovery and price of assets, nearly all of which are held by creditors as security. PLATTE CKKTEB 9 From the Signal. John Heeler was in Platte Center Tues dsy morning for the first time since Jan uary. He is recovering from a protract ed illness. JoeKrouse, a nephew of Mrs.H-N. Zingg, while playing on a trapeze with a number of other boys, fell and broke his arm near the elbow yesterday. Mrs. Oscar L. Nay has arrived from Columbns, Neb., to join Mr. Nay. the popular foreman of the Leader compos ing room. Mr. and Mrs. Nay have taken apartments at No. 3122 Thomes street. Cheyenne Daily Leader. James Lee has been appointed sub stitute mail carrier on the two rural routes out of Platte Oeoter. Harry Gentleman, who was Gleason'a sub stitute, has not lived here since last fall, and Ed Clother. Dress' substitute, has resigned. The flood record in Platte Centex, has been broken. Heretofore the overflow of Elm oreek has been confined to twice a year at most, and many years there has been none. ' Previous to May 39th it had been three years since an overflow But the one lastSunday gave as two in ten days. Simon Iossi has a field of corn that was planted from May 9th o 13th, which this morning, June 12th. will average 22 inches in height when the leaves are held up. H found some that is 28 inches high. This corn has been cultivated but once, but the seed was thoroughly tested before it wss planted. Who can beat it? Daring one of the thunder showers Sunday morning the house of August Janssen, in the north part of Platte Cen ter was struck by lightning. The family were all sitting in the kitchen, and while they were somewhat shocked, it was on ly momentary. The electricity seemed to hit the hoae in several places. Some two feet square of shingles were "torn off the north, tide of the roof, on the west side some weather boards and spouting were hit and on the southeast corner the siding was torn off and the oorner post splintered, thus hitting the boose in at least four places, with no apparent con. nection between them. Another strange freak was that sitting behind a cupboard in the room where the family were was a shotgun, and apiece three inches 'long and over an inch wide was knocked off the stock, the gnn being 'otherwise un injured ST.

Sbarrar is still laughing. What is tie laughing at? Well, Mrs. Mr E Jackson is to be absent for the summer, and Mr. Sbarrar had gained title to Mrs. Jack eon's vegetable garden. Tuesday eve ning about a half-dozen ambitious fellows were anxious to do a neighborly act for Mrs. Jackson daring her absence (they did not know .that sh was to be absent for the summer, and that the garden now belonged to Mr. Sbarrar), provided them selves with hoes and proceeded to do some good work cleaning out the grass mid weeds. When the garden wae nice ly cleaned. Mr. Sbarrar informed them that it was his garden. For further particulars see Brace Webb or Dr. Mor ris. I.RIO H. From the World. Dr. E.H.

We have been informed that the county commissioners were not satisfied with the appraised valuation of a lumber yard in Clarkson and have sent a com mittee composed partly of old lumber men to Investigate and reappraise the same for taxation. We are informed -that the several ditches made to carry off the surplus water have been taxed to their utmost capacity during the recent heavy, rains, and that many acres of small, grain .and corn have been flooded. The city so far has escaped J remarkably well and no great amount of surface water haa ap peared in the, atresia It is reported that many fish are being picked op in the overflowed fields.

Determined Attempts to Spoil Social Evening Finally Crowned with , Success To Be Hoped She Got Even with Him. Hivling got out his evening clothes, including the one remaining clean shirt with .broad gauge bosom, and "that d n hat," as Hivling always referred to his opera crush. Tou see, Hivling didn't care much for society himself. He trailed along Just to keep peace. When they were all ready for the start that night, and Mrs. Hivling kept remarking peevishly that they were going to be late, as usual, she sup posed, Hivling happened to notice that his patent leathers looked sort of dingy. Even Mrs. Hivling admitted that he'd better take time to -dab a little liquid polish on the footgear. Just as he was finishing the other shoe he straightened up for a minute and dropped a wee drop of the polish on his shirt bosom. It was an infinitesi mal particle, much smaller than the ordinary pinhead of commerce, and wouldn't have mattered at all. But finding it there Just when he was hustling to be off to that sassiety affair ruffled Hivling some. "Look at this; will you?"1 he shout ed to his wife. "I don't see anything but a little speck on your shirt," responded the wife, mildly. "That's all you see, hey? Well, you'll see more, Mrs. Hivling, and pretty quick, too. I'm here to state. I'll just make this infernal shirt front look real good and rotten while we're at it!" Whereupon Hivling proceeded as his ruffled temper dictated. He took the dauber and drew two broad lines down over the bosom and two more across forming a double cross effect. "Now, then!'.' remarked Hivling, In a tone of triumph, not even noticing his wife's glares, "now, then!" "Now we won't get to the party at all." wailed Mrs. Hivling. "and after getting a new gown for the affair! Ail on account of that abominable, de testable temper of yours. 0 oh! oh! oh! it's just disgusting, the silly fool things you do when some little thins goes wrong." Then she went Into the other room and threw herself on the lounge. Hivling, of course, had cooled down some by this time. His wife was right. They would have to stay at home. And Hivling well knew that it would be many a week before he would be able to square himself for that night's work. . But Hivling got out of It He called a cab and sent Mrs. Hivling ahead, saying that he would come along later, as soon as he .could dig up a shirt some place. A half hour later, Mrs. Hivling smil ingly was telling how she happened to be there alone. "Mr. Hivling was called down town on an important business matter," she was saying, "and the dear, he just made me come alone. I thought it was mean to come when he was obliged to go down .town, but he insisted until I gave in." Then when Hivling finally arrived, looking sheepish, his first words to the group of women his wife had been talking to was: "Well, I suppose my wife's been telling you how I got sore and painted a Chinese nightmare on my shirt front and like to never got here at all, eh?" Furs Outshone Those of Royalty. Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. the wife of the American ambassador, never, is guilty of that fault to which, according to English notions, her countrywomen are so. much addicted overdressing. Her costumes never are elaborate, says a London society writer. But occasionally she gets a chance to make a display of. wealth without lay ing herself open to the charge of os tentatious vulgarity. Such an oppor tunity was afforded by the Bourbon wedding. The furs she wore there were magnificent. They were of the finest Russian saWe, and neither of the two queens present nor any of the lesser royalties had furs that would stand comparison with them. When it came to diamonds, the contrast was all the other way. In the matter of displaying jewelry Mrs. Reid exercises becoming moderation. But those who took note of her furs knew that it was not a question of economy. Alexander's Escape. As a young maa Alexander the Great escaped death In a curious manner. A great banquet was being held at Pella. the capital of Macedonia, at which were present the future conqueror of the world, and his father, Philip. During the feast one of the guests proposed a toast' and prayer offensive to Alexander, wBo hurled a goblet at him. King Philip, angry at this out rage, started, up, drew his sword, and rushed furiously tipon his son; but he had drunk so deeply that before he reached him he fell prostrate among the terrified merry-makers. Not a whit perturbed at this ex traordinary escape from, death, Alex ander retorted: "Here is a man pre paring to cross from Europe into Asia, who yet can not step surely from one couch to another." Ransom's Rsformatien. In a little town 'a few -years ago there was. a shiftless colored boy named Ransom -Blake, who, after be ing caught In a number of petty delin quencies, was at last' sentenced to a short term In -the penitentiary, where he was sent, to learn a trade. On the' day of his return home he met a friendly white acquaintance, whe asked: "Well. what did they put you at in the prison. Ransetl "Dey" started -in to make -an honest boy out'a me.sah' "That's good, Basse, and -I hope they succeeded." "Dey did, sah.;' "And .how did they teach you to be honest?"

Man Threatens Terrible Possibilities New Properties Found in Salt Water. If Richard Tague or South Amboy, N. J., had followed the advice of the popular song and told his troubles to the p'leceman. he might not have known so much in the long run, but he would have been a sight happier. There had been a slight domestic fracas because Tague had shown an unreasonable jealousy, according to his wife, and so he was a-walking the streets, pondering whether he should drown himself or go home and thrash bis wife. At this psychological moment a sailor-man crossed his path and in the subsequent maneuvering they became chummy. Tague told his tale of woe; the Ancient Mariner prescribed a remedy. He was a salt of the old school, one who had followed the sea long before the days of "tin-kettle sailors." In his wanderings he had touched many ports, met many strange peoples, and a wealth of mysterious knowledge was hidden beneath his wind-worn cap. He whispered in Tague's starboard ear; Tague shook his head approvingly, and the twain sheered off. That night when Mrs. Tague, a bit tired by a two-hour Caudle lecture, slept heavily, her husband procured a basin of salt water and placed her hands in it. After which he lis tened. For a time she just babbled. Then her speech clarified and began to spout. She told all the anxious listener wished to know of her life, before she met him and since. So much. Indeed, that be straightway filed an application for divorce. This strange uncorking property of salt, which we commend to the inves tigating eye of Prof. Hyslop and Sir .Oliver Lodge, must be looked into at once. It holds In the present incom plete knowledge of it, too great a menace to all married men. The An cient Mariner didn't tell Tague how brine affected the masculine tongue, and Tague was too much concerned with its effect on women to question him about it . Until its absolute in nocuousness towards man is shown, however, husbands will have 'to walk warily. Of what avail will be the tale of the sick friend, the lodge meet ing, the unprecedented business actlv-' Ity at the office, if the ahem un truth of any or all these tales can -be determined by a judicious soaking of the husbandly hands in salt water? Cleveland Leader. In the Future. . The latest scheme is to set type by wireless. Of course there will be few occa sions when this sort of typesetting can be utilized, 'but it should give the intelligent compositor a feeling of real comfort to realize that when out ol town he can hustle to the nearest wireless station and set a column ot two of type matter In the home office, with all .the usual, typographical er rors in evidence. Possibly the newspaper plant of the future will be so scientlically equipped that all the work connected with It can be done somewhere-else, -and nobody will be required around the premises except the cleaners and tht night watchman. liters i siV Oontont Blttkft an Sitae: E.ttMrtti Ffiiv - Btf n lOj uv GBMBNT WORK AND GON- 6RETE CONSTRUCTION -sfr i. .iUlJs'ii AllKimlaof ' I I stay aVBsam LgBaJggaA mii Ifflpffinffi Glover Leaf and Success Itanure Spreaders Recognized as the leading Spreaders on the market today - More corn on the same acreage by using the Deere planter.
