From the Republican.
David Thomas was up from Colambaa
Wednesday looking after bis farm.
Little Koy Sheridan was taken to the
hospital Wednead.iy for an operation for
appendicitis, and be is getting along
nicely.
District No. 55, west of Monroe, is en
joying a vacation while the school house
is being fumigated and cleaned, there
having been some cases of scarlet fever
iu that neigborbood.
G. VanAllen had a narrow escape
while coming home with the Bchoul
vaOD in last Thursday's storm. The
wagon was upset and he had his arm and
leg hurt, but he is stili at his post of
duty.
Frank Croshaw. who sold his dray
business to ISoy Thurston, expects to
leave for the west about March 1 and lo
cate at Salem, Ore., where two of bis
si-ters reside. Frank is going to try th

While 11. H. Jones was visiting his
brother at Wyne, last month, someone
appropriated a fat steer out of bis feed
yard. Be has been making a quiet sear
ch, but so far has failed to locate it. As
the steer was raised on the place, it is
not Iikelythat it strayed away.
Fourteen windmills on route one were
blown down and broken by last Thurs
day's storm, a i'd alir st everyone we meet
has either a new mill or repairs on his
wagon. It is pretty tough for.some of
'those who have deep wells. Lou and
Harry Hill are using a horse power at
present.
On account of the chimney of the
school building being blown down dar
ing Thursday's storm, there was do
school Friday. The damage was re
paired Saturday. On Thureday evening
a number of the children who reside in
the country remained in town, and their
parents notified by telephone.
Miss Minnie Lowrey, who has been a
guest at the Mc Williams home for a few
weeks, returned last Friday to her borne
in Dunbar. She was accompanied by the
Misses Dora McWilliam and Hester and
Maud Hill, who will visit about two
weeks, returning by the way of Lincoln
for a visit with MibS Lottie High.
E. . Watts loaded a car of farm machi
nery and household goods Thursday and
left that evening for Sargent, where he
has a 240 acre farm. Ed was raised in
Platte county and for many years has
resided in this locality, and has many
friends or himself and wife who are sorry
to see them leave, but wish them all
kinds of success in their new home.
Mr. Niemoller intended to return to
Canada Thursday, but was delayed by
the storm. He is farming on a very
large scale up there and says they use
disc plows with four heavy mules, and
the way they turn over the land is a
caution. Next year he is going to put
in forty acres of wheat as an experiment,
and says be has no doubt but that it will
be a success, as snow comes in the fall
and lays on the ground all winter.
The patrons of rural route No. 1 from
Monro" ought to certainly appreciate
the efforts of the carrier, Geo. Alexander
in delivering their mail last Friday, the
day after the big storm. The morning
the outlook was anything but inviting
and there was a prospect of his getting
stuck in a snow drift before he would
get out of 6igbt of town, but that did
not stop him and he made the entire trip
and delivered all the mail that day re
turning on time. And be did this, too,
when he was practically the only carrier
in this section to cover his route that
day. Uncle Sam ought to give him a
good credit for this.
The old fashioned blizzard of last
Thursday was accompanied by the
heaviest wind that has visited this sec
tion for years. The brick walls cf the
Gerrard store building, which have been
standing since the fire last fall, were
levelled to the ground, and practically
the west side of the front of the e tore oc
cupied by O. B. Preston was blown in.
requiring a new window frame before
the glass can be replaced. The large
front window in Mrs. Dickinson's resi
dence was also demolished by the storm
and considerable damage being done.
The buggy shed on the Munter place,
now occupied by Vestal Moore, was also
blown down. Numerous windmills
throughout the country were blown
down and our dealers have been busy
supplying the demand.

CENTRAL CITY.
From the Nonpareil.
The Oolnmbus Telegram, in its report
of the explosion at the Thurston hotel
last week, said that Will Traver, of this
city, was cut by falling glass. Will was
hit by something all right but fortunate
ly he was not injured and tbe fiction
about the falling glass originated when
a man whose nose was bleeding tried to
assist him from the floor where he had
been thrown by the concussion. The
blood distributed itself profusely all
over Mr. Traver's countenance and it
looked for a time as if he had been
slaughtered but a visit to a doctor's offlre
and a liberal use of some water and a
towel revived him and he discovered he
had not been scratched.
J. P. Raker, a man wLo recently
moved here from South Dakota, fall dead
Monday afternoon in the road near Mr.
Hoopingarnet's home while walking to
town from bis home on the college sec
tion. He was discovered by President
McCracken. of the college, who had also
just started to town in his buggy. Pro
fessor McCracken found bim within a
few minutes after he was stricken Dr.
Boyd was immediatedly summoned but
death had evidently been instantaneous
as no signs of life remaind when the body
was examined. Mr. Baker had left his
home but a few minutes before, appar
ently in as good health as usual. It is
supposed that his death was dneto heart
trouble, though tbe family asserts that
be was never afflicted with the disease.

GENOA.
From the Times.
In tbe contest over the will of the late
John Davis ield before the County
Judge in FuIIerton last Saturday, the
contestants fsiled to prove their conten
tion that Mr. Davis was not in mental
condition to lawfully make a will at tbe
time the instrument was signed, and
Judge Khese decided against them.
Jack Davis, son of the deceased, was ap
pointed administrator of the estate.
A Fnllerton society woman recently
had a rather embarrassing experience.
For several weeks she had been troubled
with excessive itching. of the scalp, and
at last came to the conclusion that the
capilary glands had contracted Jin ail
ment which caused the irritation, and
she consulted the family physician. Af
ter a careful diagnosis of her case the
doctor prescribed a fine-tooth comb and
a box of bine ointment She accused
the hired girl of importing -the "com
plaint? into the, household, but the sirl
declared she .was innocent -and, insisted
that the children brought 'em home from
school.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Baldness Is Too Generally Consider
ed a Sign of Advanced Age.
A bald headed person does not have an
eqnal chance with one blessed with a
healthy head of hair, because baldness is
too generally accepted as an indication
of age. Many large corporations. have
established n age limit, and refuse to
take men over 35 years of age as new em
ployees. -

less it does exactly wbat we claim it will
and gives satisfaction in every respect
we shall make no charge for the remedy
