John Davis died at tbe home of bis son in Platte county, northeast of Genoa, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1908, aged about 77 years. Deceased bad been sick for tbe past year with Bright' s disease, but it was not until a month ago that it be came evident the end was near. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital at Colum bus, but refused to remein there for treatment.

He writes bis people that he expects to be able to goto work again in a few days. Did you notice wbo sat with their hats on during the show last evening? Every man in the audience kept his Mid' on during the entire performance, while there was not a dozen ladies present that were not bareheaded. Now where does the "kick "belong? Last week Miss Susie Hayes brought from Jerry Langen his bouse and lot, which joins Ed Perkinson's borne on the east, paying $700 for the same. When a young man invests his money in a house and lot people think there is a wedding in prospect. What will they guess in this case? Mrs. John Keeler was taken seriously ill the latter part of last week at her home west of town. Medical aid was called at once to relieve her suffering, which was feared would prove fatal. She is reported as resting easily at this writing, but is not yet out of danger. Her daughter Nellie, who was visiting in the east arrived home Sunday to be at tbe bed side of her mother. J. A. Grotevant. from Livingstone county, IIL. nephew of Jas. Burrows and Mrs. Marie Tbamazin, arrived here on Wednesday evening's train on a short visit with bis relatives. He reports crop conditions in Illinois as being far from the best. Tbey raise no wheat, the oats crop is very inferior and corn that was planted on spring plowed land is of no account. And yet land there is selling for from $150 to $300 an acre. Land is pretty high priced in Nebraska, but every acre of it produces a paying crop. MONROE. From the Republican. Ruth the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Comin. had tbe misfortune to break ber arm Monday of this week. The accident was caused by ber falling over a buggy shaft while running. Dr. Frank was called and reduced the fra cture. On September 15 the Commercial hotel will change bands. John Sheridan and D. T. Jones succeeding F. H. Ger rard. These two young men are hust lers and will no doubt make a success of their venture and conduct a hotel that will be a credit to Monroe. Parts of the material for the water works well has arrived and work on the big wells will commence in a day or two. Tbe small wells, which will furnish wat er to pat down the big ones, are in and ready. Gasoline engine power will be need to operate tbe machinery. Mr. Bacon is preparing to put down wells that will be satisfactory for all tbe time to come. Tuesday of this week the switchboard of the Monroe Independent company was turned over to Mrs. C. R. Watts, who succeeds Mrs. C. S. Jencks as cen tral. Mr. Watts has rented tbe Jencks building and moved in and tbe board will remain there, thus saving the com pany the expense of moving it. Mr. Watts will rent their residence, and Mr. and Mrs. Jencks and daughter Edna will leave in the near future for South Da kota where they will take homesteads. Twenty-seven republicans, sixteen de mocrats and two prohibitionists voted at the Monroe voting place of Oconee precinct Tuesday. But very little in terest was taken and with the exception of those who were working for Howard for congress, there was nothing doing. Howard received thirteen of sixteen votes, and Latta three. In Monroe township twenty-two democrats and four republicans voted, twelve democrats vot ing for Howard and ten for Latta. Four republican votes in Monroe township is a smaller representation than was ever bad under tbe old system, but it is only a question of time when many of the country districts will not make any bet ter showing, as no interest will betaken. The Magazine Short Story. Ambrose Bierce, the author of "In tbe Midst of Life," has a right to dis cuss short stories, for his grim book sets him, in the opinion of the lead ing foreign critics, beside Edgar Allan Poe. Mr. Mr. Bierce discussed the maga zine short story at a recent luncheon. "There are exceptions to every thing," said he, "but the reason for the conventionality and worthlessness of the typical magazine short story is not hard to find. "Let me repeat a dialogue to you. "A writer of magazine short stories ''took a young lady hi to dinner. "'I know you are awfully famous. Mr. Biggin,' said the young lady, 'but though I have read a great many of your tales, I don't like them a bit' "Biggin smiled. "'Of course you don't like them.' said he. 'Why should you? They aren't written to please the public.' " 'Not written to please the public?' said the' girl. " 'No, indeed,' said Biggin, laughing heartily at her ignorance. They were written, of course, to please the maga zine editor.- " Estray Notice.

If one wishes to see the New York society woman really interested, he should show her a bench show dog. particularly a prize winner. Glance at the portraits of women of fashion in magazines and color supplements. When there is no dog in the picture, the woman as a rule looks bored. But if there's any kind of canine to be seen, her face is animated, her eyes sbine and she seems to be uttering .words of delight What is there about the blue ribbon bowwow that affects the society woman so favorably? It cannot be his looks, for if he has won a prize at any big bench show, ten to one he's ugly as original sin. What ever the influence, its force cannot be denied. If it cannot be recognized in pictures, one has only to go to an ex hibition by any kennel club to verify tbe assertion. The society woman may be indifferent to her husband and luke warm toward her children, but she dearly loves a dog. Cat's Long Journey in a Bureau. A tiny Maltese cat has completed a trip from Holland, Mich, a distance of 2,500 miles, in a drawer of a bureau wrapped in sacking and shipped by slow freight. When freight hands opened the bureau the cat jumped out, and, although lean and thin from its long trip without food or water, was apparently as good as ever and dis played a keen appetite.

Spurred to Effort by Flight of Krag and Mauser Bullets, Correspond ent Hit Ground Only In High Places. In my own experience, beginning with college football, those sporting activities which were seasoned with some danger to life and limb are re called with the keenest zest. ' As. an alleged war correspondent in three campaigns I added -shooting and foot racing to the list of sports with whose rules I was fairly familiar, says Ralph Paine in Recreation. While the Tale athletic trainers had appraised my physique as better adapted to throw ing the hammer or "putting" the freight car than the 100-yard dash, I lived to overturn these expert judg ments. There is every reason to be lieve that through the tropic verdure of a valley near Guantanamo, Cuba, I had the unique distinction of running the 100-yard dash in nine seconds and the quarter mile in close to forty sec onds, for the farther I went the faster I flew. Needless to say, these were all new world's records, professional and amateur. A battalion of husky American ma rines had been fighting twice their weight of Spanish infantry two nights and days on end, under a harassing and incessant cross fire which swept the hard-held camp on the hill. On either side of this hill lay small, green valleys, the enemy keeping under cover along the opposite slopes. At length there came a lull in the action. A correspondent, whom modesty for bids me to name, observed that far up one of these valleys lay the huge boiler of a burned sugar estate, and that said boiler would be a safe fort ress from which to look matters over at a much closer range. Borrowing a rifle from a wounded corporal, he fared hastily toward the sugar boiler amid the profane shouts of a dusty squad of marines: "Come back, you fool. They'll turn loose again directly." They did. It happened that the pil grim was wearing a wide-brimmed Spanish straw hat taken from a de ceased soldier of Castile. The Ameri can marines had no other targets than these straw hats as glimpsed in the dense undergrowth. They therefore opened a brisk fire from -their hillside at this solitary straw hat bobbing up the valley. The Spanish troops, know ing that none of their men was down there, fired with much enthusiasm at the same bull's-eye. The bullets hummed both ways. They raked the atmosphere from left to right The poor fool whom friend and foe were trying to pot had not the wit to think of discarding the straw hat as he sprinted for the shelter of the sugar boiler, which appeared to have been mo'ved at least eighteen miles away. There are witnesses alive to-day who will swear that when his tracks were followed next morning brown patches we're found where his flying feet had. scorched the grass. Bullets aimed to stop him passed twenty feet to the rear when they crossed his trail. These troops had not been trained as wing shots and were therefore handicapped. Veering to the first person, for I am honestly proud of those sprinting rec ords (and why make pretense of a modesty which is superfluous?), I clove the bullet-spattered atmosphere with a distinct whistling sound and my heels flew so high with each ter rific stride that they clattered against the back of my head like the shoes of an over-reaching horse. At length reaching the sugar boiler, J dove into its end with tremendous velocity and lay panting while I listened to the pelting drive of bullets against its sides like rain on a farmhouse roof. In this spirited fashion were shat tered, obliterated and snowed under all known sprinting records, ancient and modern. They were achieved un der the most flawless amateur status, moreover, because no financial induce ments could have led me to start from scratch with a flight of Krag and Mau ser bullets and beat them to the tape. WHEN WEATHER 18 HOT. Housewife Will Earn Commendation with Jellied Chicken. One good chicken, one heaping tablespoonful powdered gelatine, one onion, two bay leaves, half teaspoon ful whole white peppers, one blade of mace, one teaspoonful salt, grate of nutmeg, half teaspoonful celery salt, three cloves, three bard cooked eggs, six olives, one can mushrooms, some chopped parsley, mayonnaise sauce.

Iron Sheathed Warehouses Necessary Because of .Danger of Fire. Fire is one of the terrors that dodge at the elbow of tbe Japanese house holder all the time, and because he lives in a matchwood dwelling Sakure san has to take a curious precaution against the sudden loss of all his household goqds. This precaution is the godown. The stranger in Tokyo or Yokohama who sees from his rickshaw a strange iron plated building with doors like turret shutters and pointed roof heavi ly incrusted with tiles is led to be lieve that here perhaps is some feudal fort of the old time, ready to house fighting men against the attacks of a street mob. But when the tourist finds one of these black sheeted build ings on every other block he learns from the country dweller that these things are godowns or storehouses for household goods. When a fire gets well started in the crowded blocks of dolls' houses in a Japanese city it is rarely stopped un til from 10 to 50 houses have been consumed and a black scar has been drawn across the whole face of the district. Because the houses are so flimsy and crowded so closely togeth er that the Japanese firemen even at their best can do little with a well developed blaze certain astute citizens erect these iron sheathed and shut tered two-storied storehouses, where in the householders of the neighbor hood and the storekeepers of the dis trict can store away their valuables. The godowns are so heavily sheathed with iron plate and so weighted with mud tiles that they rarely burn. All day long their win dows are kept almost hermetically sealed by heavy swinging shutters that look like tbe doors of a safe. When a fire comes to a certain dis trict the first thing is to close the doors of the godown and put it in shape to weather the flames. To these public fireproof safes the householders bring their best furni ture, their porcelain and their deli cate prints. The wives keep locked up there their best kimonos and their ddds and ends of jewelry. Merchants have their excess stock stowed away within them. Whenever there is a fete in any Japanese home or preparations are be ing made for the entertainment ol some special guests the servants are sent to the nearby godown to bring home all the valuables. Pictures are again hung on the wall, the heavy bronze vase is restored for the day to its special tabouret, and the ward robe of madame is replenished. Then with the passing of the special occasion passes also the household grandeur. All the fleeting prettiness of print and flowered kimouo is swal lowed up in the black maw of tbe go down. Rigid System in Denmark. In Denmark few housewives have trouble with their servants. A system has been perfected which guarantees a 'housewife honest and good serv ants, as well as independence and fair treatment to those employed. When a young woman obtains employment she goes to a police station and gets a book which testifies to her good character, and in which is entered the name, of the woman into whose serv- WANTED The right party can eecare an excellent position, salary I or communion lor uoiamDo ana vi cinity.

In Pepys time May dew that is. dew gathered from the grass on a May day was highly prized for bleaching linen and improving the complexion Pepys wrote In 1667: "My wife away down with Jane and W. Hewer tc Woolwich, in order to a little air and to lie there to-night, and so to gather May dew to-morrow morning, which Mrs. Turner hath taught her is the only thing in the world to wash her face with; and I am contented with it." Two years later he made this entry in his diary: "Troubled, about three in the morning, with my wife's calling her maid up. and rising herself, to go with her coach abroad, to gath er May dew, which she did. and I troubled her for it for fear of any hurt going abroad so betimes happening to her; but I to sleep again, she came home about six." Problem in Political Economy. "It's no use," said the young man with heavy-rimmed eyeglasses. "I can't get this political economy straight." "What's the trouble?" asked the professor. "I can't discover whether a lot of people go broke because we have hard times or whether we have hard times because a lot of people go broke." Dispute Over Famous Picture. There has been much discussion in art-loving circles in London the last week or so. regarding the great price paid for the beautiful Gainsborough, which is said to recall the much great er price given for the same master's "Duchess of Devonshire," 30 years ago A London writer says the curious thing about that famous sale was a difference of opinion between the greatest painter of his day and all the rest of the world as to the artistic value of the picture. Millais did not think it was a Gainsborough at all not because of any technical detail of execution, but simply because the view of a woman was not Gainsborough's view. Millais exclaimed, "Look at Gainsborough's women why, you want to die for them! But no one ever wanted to have a finger-ache for that duchess." But every one does not share Millais' opinion. "The Duchess of Devonshire" is a mighty attractive young woman to behold, if not to die for. Lemon Butter.
