HENRY 13th St. Golumbus ITEMS OF INTEREST central crrr. From the Nonpareil. Judge Hollenbeck announced his de cision in the Obapman saloon case Tues day and it was favorable to a year of irrigation in the town to the west of us. The court held the petition to be good and sufficient, the issue being over the eligibility of the signers. The-severe storm which visited Ne braska Monday night did -considerable damage in this county, particularly north of town where a streak about u mile aud a half wide was devastated by hail and wind. The hail was not so heavy but the terrillc wind- which ac companied it drove it with such force thnt small grain was considerably in jured. The worst of the storm seemed to center about eight miles north. The house on "Toot" Trover's farm, occupied by .1. Mack was unroofed and the interior thoroughly drenched. The building was also badly racked. At Jas. Reynold's place a mile west the house was not damaged but thirty-eight big cotton wood trees were blown down and they fell so close to the house that neighbors had to call the next morning and with teams and saws clear a way for Mr. Rey nolds and family to get out. Barns were blown down on the Lumadue, Kennard and Fish farms and on the Scudder place, which is occupied by J. N. Johnston, a coru-crib was demolished. It is estima ted that the wheat is damaged from one third to one-half. The corn was cut off but is will probably not be seriously damaged. PLATTE CENTEB From the Signal. W. M. Shea of Columbus was renew ing acquaintances in these parts Satur day and Sunday. Leo Hennessey arrived home from Oo lumhus Monday evening, where he had been the 'past week.

FRISCHHOLZ BROS. 405 Ilth Street, RAGATZ & GO. ABOUT OUR NEIGH BORS AND FRIENDS CLIPPED FROM OUR EXCHANGES illness of her sister, Mrs. J. P. Van Pelt. Mrs. Van Pelt is now much improved. George Scheidel, sr.. was overcome with the heat while working in his gar den last Saturday morning. He was in bad shape for a time, but is all right now. There is one crop of fruit that grows in this section which is not patticularly effected by early frosts or late frosts, ex treme dry weather or excessive wet weather, and that is the wild gooseberry. The boys are gathering plenty of them this week. Simon Fenton has been confined to hisliome for the past two months, and much of tbe time to his bed, with his old trouble, asthma and weakness of the heart, was taken to St M-iry's hospital Monday. Lately kidney trouble had de veloped and he was removed to tho hospital in hopes that a change of treat ment might be beneficial. LEIOH. From the World. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Thiel drove to Columbus last Saturday to spend the day with friends. George, the little nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Groteluschen, died last Monday evening at the home of his parents, death being due to peritonitis. The little boy was born on the home farm April 9, 1899. The funeral was held at tbe Loseke Lutheran church on Wednesday morning, and was conducted by Rev. Deninger. A sad accident befell Jacob Held, sr. , laet Monday afternoon while he was raking hay for his son Louis at his farm west of town. A horse and a mule that he was driving became unmanagable and ran away. As they struck a small ditch Mr. Held was thrown off the seat of the hay rake and falling down in front of it was rolled along for about ten feet. Finally the rake passed over his body and it was then that one of the tines struck him in the back of the head penetrating his skull about two inches. Dr. Alger and Dr. W. S. Evans, of Co lumbus, were called and dressed the wound and on Tuesday performed an operation and removed several broken pieces of skull. The patient was uncon scious only for a short time and in spite of his advanced age has been resting quite easy. At last reports great hopes are entertained for his recovery. Xt 'Jt Columbus. FULLKBTOK. From the Tost. Dr. W. H. Barber had a narrow escape from death today. Jnst as we go to press we learn that he took a dose of chlorform by mistake and bat for quiok medical aid would have died. He is said to be out of danger now. Mrs. McKelvey is packing tier house hold goods preparatory to moving away. Miss Marguerite McKelvey will give up her position at tbe telephone office next Wednesday and she and her mother will visit relati ves at St. Edward -for a time. From there they will go to Columbus to make their home. They leave many friends here who together with the tele phone patrons will greatly regret their departure. The seven year eld son of Mr. and Mrs." Noah Ruff across tbe Loup, was badly stamped by a mule Sunday. The little fallow was playing up in tbe hay loft and dropped his hat down into the stall where tbe mules were. He climbed down to gel it and frightened tbe male so that it kicked him, knocking him down and then stamping on his head. He was terribly bruised when rescued and the scalp torn so that thirty-two stitches were required. He did not re gain consciousness till yesterday and the doctors consider his condition still very serious. From the News-Journal. J. Will Campbell, mayor of Fullerton, was nnitedfn marriage yesterday to Miss Alice Waisner, at tbe home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Waisner, ner Belgrade. Jacob Rboner lost two good work horses, valued at nearly $400, by light ning, Wednesday morning. He himself barely escaped injury and his barn was considerably damaged. The old saying that "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" proved not to be true in this case for the same barn was struck in the Bame place two years ago and killed a horse. Another big rain Monday night visit ed thissectiou. A strong wind accom panied tbe rain, which fell in sheets. Lots of trees, limbs, windmills, outbuild ings, etc., were blown down. The large plate glass window in Diers Bros, store was blown in and broken. The crash made such a loud noise that the inmates of the Knapp hotel thought tbe town was being blown away and came scurry ing down stairs clad in all kinds of pro miscuous clothing. There was a close call at the opera house last Saturday evening for a great :atas trophy. The fact that there was a slim audience present is the only reason that these columns do not carry many heartaches this week. During the per formance of the Andrews Stock Co., moving pictures were shown at intervals. The machine was located in the little coop at the west end of the hall. The operator was busy throwing pictures on the canvas, when the celluloid Him caught tire from the electric light need to run the machine, and the Hames burst forth. Some one saw the flames and shouted tire. In a moment all was con fusion and excitement. A rush was made for the door. Two or three per sons fell down and were trampled over by those seeking escape. One woman fell down stairs and one man with a little baby in his arms jumped out of a win dow. Strange to relate no one was seriously injured. The operator alone received injuries and is confined to his room at the Dewey with badly burned hands and face. It was a nerve racking event, however, for those who passed through the ordeal, and had the house been crowded, there is no telling what the result might have been. We have heard of many fool things that people quarreled over but about tbe 'foolest" thing yet is the one that occur red this week, followed by serious re sults. Bob Swannand Ray Woods, both young men about 20 years of age, got in to an altercation about bricklaying on the new church, and finally about whet her Geo. Christenson was a "good" bricklayer or not. The argument led to "cussing" each other and finally to blows. Bob proved the best fighter, having a trifle the best of it in age, reach and cleverness. He gave Woods a terrible beating about the left eye and the head After Woods got up be pulled a pocket knife and stabbed Swann six times, over the heart and on tbe side and shoulders. Had the blade been a little longer, the heart would have been reached and then you know what that would mean. Ro bert went at once to Dr. Barber's office and had his wounds dressed, after which be was conveyed to his home on a stret cher. Ray was taken over to the jail and Dr. Wad Johnson summoned to dress his eye and wounds, after which he was taken home and pnt to bed. The next day a warrant was issued charging him with "cutting with intention of committing great bodily injary." MONROE. From the Kepablican. Mrs. Spnery of Oolumbus was the gnest of Mrs. Bodmer Saturday. Miss Grace Lubker of Columbus is the guest of Miss Hester Hill this week.

Isaiah Lightner received a message from Lynch Thursday saying that his son Stephen was very sick; the trouble, being similar to appendicitis. Mr. and Mrs. Lightner left Thursday evening.. Talk about being lucky. J. R. Smith' had a large corn crib blown over by a south wind about two weeks ago, and, last week a wind from the north turned it back on the same place exactly, where it formerly stood. , When tbe bridge across the Looking Glass, south of townrwas put in the last time, it was pat than to. stay.

Nebraska Condemned water mains were used for piling, and after being driven down were filled with cement. The Jloor of the ilridge was bolted to these, and the high water of tbe first of the week did not damage the bridge in the least. Geo. Lamb, on rural route No. 1, met with quite a serious accident Thursday, us a result of jumping from a hay loft to a wagon. When he struck the rack the board broke and be fell upon his side, breaking two ribs and otherwise bruis ing him. Medioal aid was summoned at once and his injuries cared for, and he is now resting as easy as could be ex pected. J. E. North is going to have a riprap put in on his land where the river is cutting through the slough, southwest of town. In this he will be assisted by the property owners who ae interested, as the river would in a short time cut a channel through to the--'Looking Glass creek. Work will begin this week and when it is completed there is no doubt others who will have their land along tbe river protected in a similar manner. SILVKB CKEBK. From the Sand. Chapman now has a saloon, the only licensed one in Merrick county. Last Saturday evening while ndiug on a railroad speeder in company with other children, Lorna Powers was thrown off and sustained a fracture of her collar bone. The little lady is rapidly recover ing from her injury. There was a wedding at tho Sand office Wednesday evening. Judge Howland presided in his most dignified manner and Dan Hadley and Elsie Miller were the victims. It seems that this little matter has been delayed some days for need of filthy lucre on the part of Dan, bnt his friends came to the rescue, the license was procured and the judge tied tbe knot. About a hundred curious Silver Creek people heard of the propos ed matrimonial venture and gathered to see the ceremony, but as both parties had been there before, they were not embarrassed thereby. The judge asked the questions, tbe groom and bride answered, then the judge said something and "she was his'n and he was her'n." Farm For Sale.

Twenty-five years ago Ferdinand Fuch9 and Miss Elizabeth 'Brockbaus and Frank Brockhausand Miss Johanna Fuchs were nnited in marriage at St. Mary's church by Rev. Father Theodore, who was then pastor of St. Mary's parish which included tbe town of Humphrey, then in its infancy. A quarter of a century of joys and sorrows have passed lightly x over these two worthy couples and-they have seen their their respective families grow .from childhood to manhood and womanhood, while in a financial way they have also enjoyed great prosperity. Consequent ly, feeling as though they had excellent reasons to fell tbankf nl. they decided to celebrate tbe twenty fifth anniversary of their wedded happiness.
