I.KK1H. From the World. Jacob Held, sr who was hurl in c run away two weeks ago, was taken to Co lumbus yesterday to receive treatment at the hospital. Mr. Hold's condition is no worse; this step was taken that it may be more convenient for Dr. Evans to care for him. The glorious Fourth came to a sad termination for Henry Brixius. While returning home from the celebration at Clarkson in company with the Smoot boys he undertook to pass a team ahead of him by driving to one side of the road. The road was graded up quite high, however, and as they struck a little washout the buggy upset. Henry was riding with his right leg hanging out the buggy box and when the buggy upset the entire weight fell upon that limb breaking it in two places. He was brought to Leigh and given the neces sary medical attention and on Tuesday morning Dr. Lowery accompanied him to Omaha where he will receive treat ment in a hospital.

The Stitzer dam at Ericson was finally completed last week and the long await ed lake is now a reality. Mr. Stitzer has shown remarkable preserverar.ee under distressingly discouraging circumstances and his friends are hoping that the dam this lime will prove to be as immovable as the rock of Gibralter. BR LL WOOD. From the Gazette. The crop of "Irish apples" this year is going to be the best for years past. We wouldn't be auprised to sea them sell in market this fall at 25 ceuts a bushel and perhaps less. Many of our readers will regret to learn that H. I. Converse, who formerly ran a lumberyard at Bell wood, died at his home at Sbickley on Wednesday of last week. He had been ill for some time with dropsy. Several Colcmbusitee, who evidently had not got over the 4th, tried to show Neul Smith how to shock wheat last Suuday and in their attempt we learn that some of them got considerably marked up as Neal believes he knows how to shock h'13 own grain. PLATTE CKNTKtt From the Signal. Miss Koee Walker returned to her home at Columbus last Friday, after a week's visit with relatives at this place. Mre. Simon Fenton and daughter Nellie drove to Columtms Wednesday to spend the day with Mr. Feuton iu the hospital. They report that Mr. Fenton is growing much weaker and no signs of improvement. Denny Roberts was the only one from Platte Center who attended the demo cratic convention at Denver this week. He assured his friends before he left that positively, under no consideration would he accept the second place on the ticket. Miss Agnes Carrig who has been a guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. W. Gentleman, the past two months, de parted Wednesday for a brief visit with her brother. Sheriff Carrig-, at Colum bus, after which she will go to her home at Omaha. A ride last Sunday through Shell creek valley in Shell creek township, ami Shell creek and Loseke creek valleys in Bis mark township showed us thousands of acres of as fine wheat and oats as ever grew in Nebraska. We saw no poor fields of wheat, but here and there were small patches which showed too much water. And a large percent of this wheat was ready for the binder. The corn did not look so promising. Very few fields were as far advanced as they should be, while in many of them the corn was very small, and muoh of it evidently had not been properly worked. doubtless owing to ton much moisture. I Bind! MONROK. From the Republican. Monroe was certainly well represent ed at Columbus the Fourth, a the Union Pacific sold 150 round trip tickets for the occasion. Owen Parry and Henry Albers each have about 150 head of fat hogs ready for the market that will bring a good sum of money at the present prices. S. W. Lightner of Lynch, Neb., arriv ed Wednesday for a short visit with the home folks. He has partially recovered from his reoent illness aud is taking it easy for Jhe present. The village board are going to have a road drag used on the streets in the near future. A number of towns have tried these drags on their streets, and the re sults have been gratifying, and no doubt their use will greatly improve the streets. Chas. Eelley sold a half interest in the meat market to Jacob Smyer this week, and the firm will be Eelley & Smyer, After Monday Jake will conduct the shop himself and Charlie will buy and sell stock and look after the outside work himself. Frank Potter made a flying trip to North Platte Monday, returning Wed nesday. Frank has sold out to Chas. Mc Williams and is looking for a location but did not get anything to suit him. He says he saw wheat out west that would make forty bushels to the acre. H. I. Gipe of Gross, Neb., has pur chased the Potter & Kelley grocery store and an invoice was taken the first of the week and possession given Wednesday. The deal includes the store building, and later on Mr. and Mrs. Gipe will pur chase a residence in Monroe, making this their permanent home. The mercantile business is not new to them, and in the fall they expect to add other lines. Be fore locating here Mr. Gipe was in Mon roe in the interest of the Modern Wood men and had an opportunity to look over the town and surroundings, and the im pression gained decided him on locating here. While the storm of Sunday afternoon was threatening, there were several sharp flashes, two of which struck in this locality. At the Noris Fifield house, occupied by Albert Fleming, the lightn ing struck the ohimney and followed down the stove pipe, knocking the plast eriug off ami spliuteriug four boards. The family were on the porch at the time and did not feel the shock in the least. At Lorenzo Lewis' home, east of town, lightning struck the chimney and followed down to the stove, scattering kitchen utensils and covering evety thing with soot. Mrs. Lewis had just left the stove before the tiish came and escaped injury, but Mr. Lewie, who was in the the yard, experienced quite a shock. Ct.AltKS. From the Enterprise. Charlie Tolin visited with Mrs. Tolin who is at the hospital at Columbus last Saturday. Charlie says Mrs. Tolin is tioiug as w.-ll as could be expected. The friends of Mrs. W. W. Ferguson will be elated to learn that she is improv ing rapidly and is expected home from the hospital at Columbus some time next week. David Taylor a former resident of this city "but now residing at Portland, Ore gon, was renewing bis acquaintance here a portion of this week. We are inform ed that Mrs. Taylor is in the hospital at Columbus where she has been taking treutment. Quite a number of farmers commenc ed harvesting their grain the latter'part of last week but the rain of -Sunday night and Monday will keep them out of their fields for several days at least. The ground is too soft for teams to get in the grain. While playing ball one day last week Ross Noble met with a very painful acci dent. In some manner he dislocated his right arm at the elbow, which gave him considerable pain. A physician was called and set the dislocated member and now Rosa is carrying his arm in a sling. ALBION. From the News. Miss Laura Miller left Wednesday morning for Alliance. Neb., where she has secured a good position in a news paper office. She says that her brother, Clarence, is now located at Edgewood, 3. D., so that he will be near enough to come and see her occasionally. There was considerable excitement in town Friday afternoon when Deputy Sheriff Galyean arrested Anton Stroeb ler, who had come over from Humphrey with the avowed purpose of killing his wife. When the papers were served on him the officer relieved him of a loaded revolver. Stroebler, however, objected to the arrest and took to his heels but was soon caught, and on the way to the court house made streuous efforts to get away, and just as they reached the court house he struck the officer in the face but be was soon overpowered and placed in jail where be had plenty of opproiun ity to think over his actions. ST. EDWARD. From the Advance. Mre. Jack Westbrook and sister, Miss Hattie Smith, returned home to Colum bus today after a week's visit to Mrs. Jos. Westbrook. E. G. Walker underwent a surgical operation last Friday at St. Mary's hos pital, Columbus, and is reported to be recovering nicely. An article appeared in the Advance last week that was inaccurate from start to finish. We publish the following after a more extended investigation and believe it is correct; Mr. Homer Peter son, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Peter son of Woodville, and Miss Emma Mar tinson were married Wednesday, July 1, 1908, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Martinson, with whom she has been making her home since coming from Sweden about one -yeeraso.

Perhaps the most celebrated spot of its kind on American soil is that won derful old French garden which di vides the mansion at Monticello from the campus of the University of Vir ginia, which adjoins it. It is after the French plan to have massive bastions of brick to make the place as secluded as if it were miles from the active, noisy student life beyond. In these pensive precincts a host of illustrious men have gathered and many have left memories of their sojourn cling ing to the spot like the vines and flowers they have planted. Here Jefferson entertained Lafay ette and the warrior planted a root of wisteria which had been brought from France for the purpose. The vine still lives and spreads its ex quisite flowers over all the south wall. In later days Bledsoe, philosopher and friend of the confederacy, planted some coral honeysuckle, the flowers of which are the pride of the present possessors. McGuffey, abhorred by the schoolboy because of the scores of readers and other text books that he wrote, planted some dwarf cedars, and that renowned mathematician, Charles Scott Venable. planted a few trees in symmetrical lines. Oliver Wendell Holmes buried the roots of an English laburnum bush, and It thrives to this day. John Stalge Davis and Noah K. Davis,1 noted teach er's In the university, have left their mark in the garden. Among other famous men whose names are identified with the trees or flowering plants of this old garden are such pedagogues as those who wrote Greenlears "Evidence," Adams' "Equity," Vatel's "Laws of Nations" and Scheie de Vere's "Beginning of the Romance Languages." Alexander Hamilton visited Monticello in Jef ferson's time and planted -an acorn, which is now a mighty oak. Mallet, the French chemist, brought a root of ivy from Vincennes when he was the guest of Jefferson. It is growing against the bastion. A truly instruc tive garden for a university is this an cient spot, with its rare old memo ries and its priceless exotics planted by men with immortal names. Squelching a Disturber. "Aw, go chase yerse'f!" bellowed a sarcastic boy in the gallery. Prof. McGoozIe, who was delivering a scholarly lecture under the auspices of the Society of Social Uplifters on "The Flexibility of Our Mother Tongue," stopped short and glared at the youthful offender. "Apart from the rudeness of the in terruption," he said, in cold, cutting, distinct accents, "and its total irrele vancy to the matter under discussion, I wish to ask the thoughtless person who uttered that hasty and ill-considered exclamation how a normally con structed and homogeneous human be ing can possibly chase himself!" Having thus completely crushed the presumptuous juvenile. Prof. McGoozIe resumed his lecture with a perceptible note of triumph in his voice. H.F.Oreinerl STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES.

Discoveries Previously Made Are Ex plained by Her to the Head of the HouMheld, Who la Duly Impressed. "My goodness!" said Mr. Billtops. "I can't wind the clock!" "What's the trouble, Ezra?" said Mrs. B. "Why, the pointer Is right over the keyhole," Mr. Billtops said. Mrs. Billtops looked up at Mr. B. and the clock he had set out to wind, and a glance was sufficient. "Of course It is," she said. "It's eight o'clock and the pointer is al ways over the keyhole at eight o'clock. Now, you will have Co wait till the pointer gets past, then you can wind it." And then Mr. Billtops, who, with all his years, is in many ways most unso phisticated, sat down to read the pa per to wait for the hour hand of the clock to get past the eight o'clock key hole so that he could wind it. But be fore beginning to read he laid the pa per on his knee for a moment and. looking over at Mrs. B., said: "Why, I never knew that before about the pointer and the keyhole." "Well, Ezra," said Mrs. Billtops, who in the course of her multifarious household duties has set balky clocks going and oiled clocks with a broom splint, who knows more about clocks than Mr. Billtops. would in a thousand years and who could beat him at mending anything seven times around the globe, "it's always been so, only I guess you never happened to notice it. And it's just the same at four o'clock, only you never noticed that because you are not home to wind the clocks at that hour; and you generally wind them before eight, so you nevei noticed that. "I don't pretend to be a clock maker. Ezra," Mrs. Billtops continued, "but 1 guess it comes' about something like this: "In a clock that winds with a key you have to have two keyholes one for the running part and one for the striking part; and now these key holes might have been put in the up per part of the clock face by the two on one side and the ten on the other but I guess the original clock makers didn't put them there because the old-time clocks were all big clocks and that might have brought them up too high to be reached conveniently; so they put them down in the lower part of the face where they would be handier, where you now always find them one on one side by the foui and the other on the other side by the eight. "And so, twice a day, when the hour hand is at four or at eight, it coven the keyhole there, and then you have to wait for it to get by before you can wind the clock. And then, of course, you know the minute hand goes round the clock face every hour and so, though in its travels it doesn't stay there long. It covers each key hole every hour. So you see. Ezra there are really altogether a good many times in the course of a daj when you can't wind a clock, though there is really nothing In this to be surprised over when you once re alize it." And at the end of this little dis course Mr. Billtops looked up at the clock that had surprised him. and seeing the hour hand now sufflcientl clear of the keyhole so that he could get the key into it, he wound the clock to make sure that he would not for get that, and then, as he sat down again, he cast one more admiring glance at Mrs. Billtops. thinking tc himself as he did so, before taking up his paper, that while she might not be a clocknicl.er she certainly was a most wonderful woman. Same Old Price for Sparrows. Rev. Simon Turpie was an eloquent speaker, but he seemed to have a list of sermons, which, when he once be gan, he went right through to the end, and then started at the first ser mon again, and so on. A young man in the congregation was about to leave for South Africa, but the Sunday before he departed he attended the church service. In the course of his lecture the min ister used an illustration in which were the words: "A man can easily purchase two swarrows for three pence." The young man, after being absent for about three years, returned, and again on the first opportunity attend ed divine service. Strange to say, he heard the same narrative by the same minister, the phrase striking him most being about the "two sparrows for three pence." At the close of the service the min ister, in his courtesy, came and shook hands with the youth, and welcoming him back to his home, asked him if he noticed any change about the place. The young man, evidently quite un concerned, replied in a pawky tone: "Aye, man, there's two or three changes; but there's yin thing I can see, the price o' sparrows is aye at the same auld figger." London Tit-Bits. Frizzled Beef. To one-half pound dried beef, add one pint of cold water. Let come to a Doil and drain. -Brown some butter in the frying pan, and add the beef. Cook it for at least five minutes Add to this a mixture of flour and one naif pint milk or water. Season with pepper only, and serve on toast. Don't neglect the first boiling, as it makes1 the meat more delicate and extracts 3ome of the salt. Ink Stain on Linen. Take a piece of tallow candle, melt it, and dip the spotted part of the linen in the melted tallow, then put it Into the wash. It will become perfectly white, without any spot or hole. This is better than milk, spir its of salts or lemon. Home-Made Umbrella Stand. Take a good sized sewer pipe and enamel it to match the hall. Use a small granite paaascatchbasln.

Dandified D'Annunzio. Some of the German papers are deeply interested in the wardrobe of D'Annunzio, the poet. The cut of his clothes, they say, the pattern of his numerous vests and the colors of lite cravats are among the vital things in his life.
