CLANKS.
From the Enterpriv.
It is to be hoped that the proposed new
bridge across the Platte river will soon
become a reality. It will undoubtedly
bring trade to this side which heretofore
has been compelled to go elsewhere.
Sunday morning the citizens of this
community were horribly shocked when
the report was received of the fatal
wreck in Colorado of the train bearing
to Fruita, Colo , the family of our towns
man, John Williams. More sorrowful
were the people when it was actually
learned that tbe entire family had been
killed. A. B. Willams, father of John
started for tbe same place the day be
fore, while two brothers, Robert and
Sam, started same day with a car of im
plements and stock. Numerous friends
here deeply sympathize with the bereav
ed ones.
GEXOA.
From the Leader.
Married, at Omaha, January I4tb,
1909. Mr. Charles Shields of Genoa,
to Miss Emma Wenberg, of Red Oak,
Iowa. The bride was formerly a resi

home with her brother on a farm near
Fullerton. The groom is a well known
resident of Nance county, and is engaged

there was on deposit S2CG 3G; of this

the board, in school and county war

SILVER CREEK.
From the Sand
A telophpne call from Clarks Monday
night a little after 10 o'clock made some
people sit up and listen. It was to the
effect that night raiders had held up
the town and were on their way to visit
Silver Creek. None came. It seemed
that a half baked youth who gave his
name as Frank Johnson, broke into
Knight's hardware store, took a revolver
and some razors, then tried to enter
Standley's store. The marshal slept in
there and scared him off He then took
a hand car, ran to the B. & M. crossing
at Central City and walked up the track
only to fall into the hands of Sheriff Her
Friday evening last, about 8 o'clock,
Frank Triba discovered that .his house
was on fire. He and bis wife bad just
got through with snpper when the dis
covery was made. There was tall hust
ling then, all the household goods were
saved from tbe lower floor, but every
thing in the upper story went into
smoke. The fire started in an upstairs
chamber, presumably from the careless
flinging of a match by someone who had
lighted a lantern there when Mr. and
Mrs. Triba came home. The house was
valued at about $12o0. It was one of
the oldest houses in Polk county, having
been built in 1871 by Mr. Horst when
Polk county looked like a blank prairie,
and at the time it was the largest house
in the county.

"Then," said the teller of the thrilling
war story, "the Intrepid general swung
himself on his trusty steed."
The listeners leaned forward.
"And plunged through fire ' and
smoke onward where duty called him."
The suspense began to grow breath
less. "About him scores of men dropped
dead or wounded."
The suspense finished growing
breathless.
"But still he galloped onward, erect
and fearless. At last he reached tbe
front ranks. He waved his sword.
With a wild cheer the shattered ranks
closed up. Led by that intrepid man,
they advanced. Everywhere the enemy
gave way before him. The day was
won. He had snatched victory from
defeat."
"I beg your pardon," .remarked one
of the audience.
"'How's that?"
"You mean from 'the jaws of de
feat,' don't you?"
"I do. You are quite right. I thank
you for the correction."
And the stickler for correctness in
metaphor leaned back in his chair,
well satisfied with himself.

When the southern lady left town
and moved to the old manor house o!
her ancestors, she was accompanied
by her maid.
"And now, Lticinda," remarked the
mistress, as she showed the maid
through the gloomy old mansion, "heie

The next day Liicinda packed her
trunk and started for the station.
"But what in the world Is the mat

prise. "Haven't we treated you
right?"
"Oh, yes," assured Lucinda, keep
ing an eye on the dark, wide hall
ways. "Then why in the world ire you
leaving without notice?"
"Ah can't help it, missus; Ah can't
help it. Ah couldn't think ob workin'

Aunt Harriet's Omnipotence.
In the Beecher family the name of
Mrs. Stowe was often quoted to the
rising generation as one having au
thority. On one occasion a grand
niece of Mrs. Stowe became very
angry at a playmate and, stamping her
foot, said: "I bate you, and I don't
want anything more to do with you,
nor your man servant, nor your maid
sen-ant, nor your ox, nor your ass."
Her mother sternly reproved her.

saying. Little Miss Beecher promptly

them?"

The B. M. Hyde Drug Co. Offer to
Cure Catarrh. The Medicine
Costs NothingJf They
Fail.
When a medicine effects a cure if 98
percent of cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guarantee
that it will cost the user nothing if it
does not cure Catarrh, it is only reason
able that people should believe us, or at
least put our claim to a practical test
when we take all the risk. These are
facts which we want the people of Co
lumbus to substantiate. We want them
to try Kexall Mucu-Tone. a medicine
prepared from a prescription of a phy
sician whose specialty was Catarrh and
who has a record of thirty years of cures
to his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive more
good reports about Rexall Mucu-Tone
than we do of all other oatarrh remedies
sold in our store, and if more people only
knew what a thorough dependable rem
edy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be
the only catarrh medicine we would
have any demand for. '
Rexal Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and carried by the blood uutil it thor
oughly disinfects and cleanses the en
tire mucous membranous tract, destroys
and removes tbe patentee which injure
and destroy the membranous tissues,
soothes and heals tbe irritation and sore
ness, stops tbe mucous discbarge, and
builds up strong, healthy tissue, re
lieves the blood and system of diseased
matter, stimulates tbe muco-cells, aids
digestion and improves nutrition until
the whole body vibrates with healthy
activity. In a comparatively short lime
there is a most noticeable gain in
weight, streugtb, good color and feelir g
of bnoyfinry.
We urge you to try Mncu-Tone, begin
ning a treatment today. At any time
you are not satisfied, simply come tad
tell us, and we will quickly return yoi r
money without question or quibble
