From tlm Post. Choirmaster Bahlridce sprung a new one on the congregation at the M. E. church last Sunday night the ladies whistled an obligato. Some of them will have to send "down South" for a few green persimmons. Three broken down wagons and a dead horse were the causalities on Route No. 4 last week, caused from the failure of the patrons on the route to scoop a road through the snow drifts. Better look out, Uncle Sam won't stand for negli gence when it comes to bad roads. LEicn. From tilt? World. The Ascue boys who are attending school in Columbus returned to their studies Monday morning after visiting with home folks over Snuday. Tuesday night Lydia Lutz a daughter of llev. and Mrs. A. F. Lutz was taken very ill and on Wednesday Dr. Eby, the attending physician pronounced it a case of appendicitis and advised an immediate operation. Dr. A. 0. Stultz of Omaha was sent for and together with Drs. Eby and Lowery performed the operation that evening after the arrival of the pas senger. The operation proved it to be a case of a ruptured appendix and profuse peritonitis. It was a successful opera tion, however, and the hopes for her recoverv are almost assured. CENTKAL citv. From the Nonpareil. Word has been received from Hooper that Mat Yenney, formerly of this city was found dead in his room in the hotel at that piace. No details are furnished. Lem Learn, of Seattle, Wash., is in the city renewing acquaintances and old time friends. Mr. Learn was a resident of this county about thirty j-ears ago, and quite naturally notes with interest the many improvements that have been made in that course of time. Sunday was J. C. Martin's fiftieth birthday and a number of friends drop ped in on him in the evening to notify him of the fact. The took with them as tokens of regard two line chairs finish ed in mission style, in which Jack will be able to rock away the remaining fifty years of his life in comfortable content. IIOWEIiLS From the Journal. John Pimper and family arrived here last Saturday from Clyde, North Dakota where they have been making their home for the past few years.

Charles Horak of Maple Creek precinct was killed by the fast mail train ou the Union Pacific at Schuyler on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Horak, in company with a number of his neighbors, had been hauling corn to Schuyler and had juet finished unloading at one of the elevators and started to drive across the track when the fast mail, going at a speed of forty miles an hour, struck the wagon and team. Charles was instantly killed as also was one of the horses, while the wagon was wrecked. The deceased was about thirty years of age and practically all of his life was spent in this county. He IB spoken of by all who knew him as a hard working, honest man, popular in the neighborhood where he lived. He was unmarried and made his home with his aged mother on the old family home stead in Maple Creek precinct. His sudden death comes as a shock to the community and the mother, brother and sister have the sympathy of all. HtjMrnuEY. From the Democrat Miss Mary Lachnit came up from Co lumbus yesterday morning for a visit with relatives. ! Geo. Feringher had bis hand badly bruised in a corn sheller Wednesday and had to have one of his fingers removed at the first joint. Mrs. Jos. Olmer underwent a serious operation at the Columbus hospital Tuesday morning and while still very week, is getting along much better than was expected. Rev. Father Kuzer went down to Col lumbus yesterday to call on Brother Bruno who is in the hospital at that place. The Brother was operated on Wednesday of last week for appendicitis and at present he is getting along nicely. Master Jean McKillip went to Omaha today to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Hale for a few weeks until his parents are settled in their new home. Mr. and Mrs. McKillip are now packing up and expect to leave for Colorado next week. We notice in the Wayne Democrat that Patrick Coleman, of that place, fell on the icy sidewalk one day last week and broke his right leg near.the hip joint. Mr. Coleman formerly lived in the St. Bernard neighborhood and is well known to all the old settlers in Platte cout.ty. He is seventy years of age. Business being dull in other lines, some of Columbus' professional jokers are amusing themselves by writing threatening letters to some of the lead ing citizens of that place, demanding money under penalty of death. The money was not forthcoming but if it was, it wonld probably be expended for drinks for the crowd. We judge from a postal received from Dr. Condon who is now in California that his thoughts are fondly turning back to good old Nebraska. California is all right as a show place, but it takes something more substantial than big trees and 3x4 fruit ranches to satisfy one who has spent over twenty years among Nebraska's broad fields and herds of cat tie. Columbus. M0NK0B. From the Republican. x The Misses Anna Peuscheal and Mary Weber came up from Columbus Friday morning to attend the program at Watte ville and visited until Tuesday noon, re turning to resume their work. Dave Jones has moved on the Mrs Sheridan's farm vacated by her son John, and his father, I. N. Jones, has rented the Sheridan home farm Mrs. Sheridan expects to move to Columbus. District No. 20 celebrated the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln last Friday afternoon, by giving a patriotic program. The main featnre was a Washington Lincoln debate, given by eight of the pupils. Monday mornjng a new agent for (be Omaha Elevator company will be check ed in at this place, J. M. Gleason having resigned. Ois successor will be W. H. Groves, who has had considerable ex perience in this line. J. M. Sheridan loaded a car of house hold goods Wednesday of.this week and shipped them to Spalding Thursday morning, where he will make his home. Mr. Sheridan will live in Spalding for the present, but may later move on to a farm. The farmers, meeting called for last Saturday afternoon was held in Monroe hall. As stated in the call the object of the meeting was for perfecting an or ganization of the farmers for the pur pose of buying and selling grain and pos sibly other products. The meeting was organized with Isaiah Lightner as chair man and Wm. Webster secretary. O. N. Thompson, a representative of the American Equity society was present, secured nineteen members for the or ganization, which insures a local branch here. The officers of the new organiza tion are Henry Clayburn, president; E. D. Jenkinson. secretary, and Wm. Web ster, treasurer. Another meeting will be held on Thursday. March 4. The first step that will probably be taken by the organization will be to arrange for the building of a farmers' elevator which is something the town and surrounding country has long been in need of. After this is accomplished, other matters in this line will no donbt be taken np, and, the association in time will become a benefit both to the members and the town. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Monroe Independent Tele phone company was held at Monroe hall Wednesday afternoon, and owing to the bad roads comparatively few were in at tendance. The directors for the coming year, with one exception, are the same as before and are as follows; Wm. Web ster, Monroe; Peter Schmitt, Platte Cen ter; Oscar Olson, Lindsay; O. E Green and Alfred Bratt, Genoa; Hans Dank sten and E. B. Dannals, Newman Grove. Outside of the routine business the free exchange with Columbus was the im portant topic. Mr. Dannals explained the proposition to the meeting and asked for the sentiment on it, and it was almost unanimously in favor of it. Briefly, the plan is this: The lines ofxthe com pany, which are now within six or seven miles of Columbus, are to be extended to that city. It is not the intention of the Monroe company to ask for a franchise so there would be a third line for the co unty seat, but to merely ask for three or four stations for the use of patrons of the company while at the county seat. The booths will- be placed at convenient points and subscribers who are entitled to use them can do so free of cost, but others will be compelled to pay toll, and the booth will be equipped for this. The extension of this line will be paid for by those who wish to use it, and the amount for each subscriber will be small. 'Al ready a good start has been made on so curing the amount. Of course if the Monroe company could make satisfac tory arrangements for connecting with one of the other lines at the city limits, the booths would be unnecessary. But there is one thing certain, and that ib that enough subscribers of the Monroe company want free exchange with Columbus to make it ago. Representa tives of the State association of indepen dent telephone companies were here and requested this company to join the as sociation. As the annual dues would amount to over $100 a year there are those who are not strongly in favor of spending this amount for the benefits that would be derived. GENOA. From the Times. The Indian bill provides for an ap propriation of $54,000 for the maintenan ce of the Genoa school, $7,000 for a brick barn to take the place of the frame struc ture destroyed by the fire last summer, and 5,000 for the erection of a residence for the superintendent. N. P. Jensen, a former resident of Nance county who went to South Da kota five years ago and filed on a home stead in the White River country, had a queer experience daring a blizzard. Ac cording to his home paper. Jensen's home caught fire while he was asleep and he knew nothing of it until the flames were about him. He rushed out of the house and had nothing but a shirt on. The enow was flying terribly, and there was nothing to do but go to the barn. Here he found a couple of old sacks which be wrapped around his bare legs. He made an effort to ride horseback to one of the neighbors, but the wind and flying snow was to severe for him and he returned There were two piga in the barn and these he threw into a manger and lay be tween them during the night, and all of the following day and night When the blizzard had subsided hejumped on to a horse and rode to the home of a neighbor. Being oat forty hours in a barn, practically nakea, with a blizzird raging outside daring this time, is an, experience that but few men could withstand.

From the Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. Baker of Columbus spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs H. A Whit ney and family. Jim Jackson sold his 40 acre farm this week to Guy Bouton. Considera tion, $100 per acre. The buildings burned at Garrison by fire last week were Vanderkolk's hard ware store. Lew Marshall's jewelry store C. F. Freeman's building, the drug store and the Farmers' and Merchants' bauk. The entire loss is said to be about $50, 000 which was partially covered by in surance. Died on Tuesday afternoon about 2 pa m., F. F. Randall. Deceased was able to be on our streets a few days p'evious to his death and on Monday ate a hearty supper. About midnight of same day he awoke Mrs. Randall and complained of having n severe pain in his back. Mrs. Randall did what she could to relieve the pain; but soon thereafter he became unconscious and remained in this condi tion until death carried his soul to the beyond. Mr. Randall was born May 4, 1825 in Springfield, Illinois, from which place he moved to Michigan. And from Michigan to Butler county about 45 years ago. PLATTE CENTER " From the Signal. Miss Genevieve Considine spent last Saturday and Sunday in Columbus with her sister, Mrs. B. H. Schroeder. Paul Gertsch had a narrow escape from severe injury Tuesday by being hit on the head by a piece of his windmill falling and striking him. Mrs. Henry Greisen and daughter Lena went down to Columbus Sunday to visit, her son Frank who has been taking treatment at St. Mary's hospital the past four weeks. Mrs. Dennis Sullivan had the misfor tune to slip and fall at her home last Thursday and broke the bones near the wrist of her left arm. Since the acci dent Mrs. Sullivan has had very severe pains in her arm. After a short and painless illness Mrs. Michael Mfiher died at her home Satur day, February 20, 1909, at 7:10 o'clock a. ra. Daring her last illness and at the hour of her demise she was constantly surrounded and attended by her surviv ing children, Mis9 Nellie, Edward, John and Blake. The best of medical skill and scientific nursing was employed to prolong her life, bat the infirmities of old age rendered a recovery out of the question. She was fully conscious al most to the last moment and passed away as she had lived, gently, submissiv ely and thoroughly satisfied to meet the inevitable. Mrs. Michael Maher, nee Catherine Guilfoyle, was born in Coun ty Tipperary, Ireland, in 1835. At an early age she moved to Chicago with her parents later locating in Janesville, Wis., where she was married to Michael Maher in 1S63. Shortly afterwards the couple settled on the present home place near Platte Center, where, together with her husband and children, she braved all the hardships and tribulations of early pioneer lift.

Brian of Columbus are visiting in Silver Creek for h few days. "Swede Charlie" Anderson of Colum bus was in town Monday on his way to visit bis parents at Arcadia. Friday evening last Robert Taylor, living near Gardner, met with a sad ac cident. He was out milking, and slipped and fell on the ice. His hip was fractured and he was severely injured. Mr. Taylor is an old man and the injury is one that is liable to prove fatal to him, owing to his advanced aged. He has been a resident of this community for more than a third of a century, and his host of friends are sorry to hear of his bad lack, and while hoping for the best are fearful of the results. Marg"aret Carmen died at her home in Folk county, Nebraska, Feb. 25, 1909. Mrs. Carmen was the mother of ten children, six of whom survive her as fol lows: John and Herman who live in Buffalo county.

Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eating a Symptom That Should Not Be Disregarded. Appetite is just a natural desire for food. Loss of appetite of stomach dis tress after eafing indicate indigetion or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit very dangerous to a person's good general health, and insatiable appetite, is a sure symptou of diabetes. It is not what you eat but what you digested assimilate that does you good. Some of the strongest, heaviest and healthiest persons are moderate eaters. There is nothing that will create sick ness or cause more trouble than a dis ordered stomach, and so many people daily contract serious maladies simply through disregard or abuse of the stom ach. We urge everyone in Columbus who is suffering from uny stomnch derange ment, indigestion or dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspep sia Tablets, with the distinct under standing that we will refund their money without question or formality, if after reasonable use of this medicine, they are not perfectly satisGed with the results. We recommend them to our customers every day, and have yet to hear of any one who has not been benefitted by them. We honestly believe them to be without equal. They are made from the prescrip tion of a physician who devoted all his time to the study and treatment of stomach troubles. They give very pro mpt relief, neutralize the gastric juices, strengthen the digestive organs, create good digestion and assimilation, natural ly regulate the bowels, promote perfect nutrition, and create a permanent cure of all unhealthy symtoms. We urge you to try a 25c box of Res all Dyspepsia Tabids, which gives 15 days treatment. At the end of that time, your money will be returned to you if you are not satisfied.- Of course, in chronic cases length of treatment varies For such cases, we have two larger sizes, which sell for 45c and 89c.

Traveling recently on donkey-back across a trackless portion of the Con chilla desert, in southeastern Cali fornia, we sighted ahead of us above the sage brush a nondescript object which on nearer approach resolved in self into two dilapidated trolley cars. They formed the equipment of a "horse railway" across the sands ten or twelve years ago to connect a soli tary station on the Southern Pacific railroad with an agricultural colony several miles distant. The farming enterprise failed utterly and the "horse railway" with. The incon gruous sight of these two abandoned cars in the midst of drifting sands is all that remains to-day to tell the tale of shattered hope. World Wide Mag azine. Prices 50c, 75c, $1.00 and $1.50. Grant's Destination. The confidence of the followers of two of our January generals is illus trated in the story of a captive south ern soldier who chanced to sea Gen. Grant hastening by. "General, where are you going?" asked the confederate. "To Petersburg. I think," was the reply; "hut maybe to heaven or hell." "Well. I tell you, general," replied the soldier, "Bob Lee's at Petersburg and Stonewall Jackson's in heaven. I guess hell's the only place left for you." That Grant appreciated the grim as signmept v.'as indicated by a smile of amusement on his face as he went on. La Salle Corbell Pickett, in Lippin cott's. Breaking Up the Party. "You didn't know Aunt Mat's cat Tige, did you?" asked the girl. "She got it after you came away. Awfully smart cat. She would go out in the barn, kill a nice gray rat and bring it in and lay it at Aunt Mat's feet. Then Aunt Mat would smile at her And pet her and say: 'Nice Kitty!' "Well, one afternoon Aunt Mat was having a pink tea with a lot of friends. Tige went out in the yard, killed a nice little snake, brought .it in and laid it at the feet of Miss Molly Cur ry. Then sat back and waited to be smiled at and petted. "My goodness! You never heard such yelling. It broke up the party." PILES! PILES! PILES!

Mrs. Wickershajn had advertised, for an experienced cook. The first ap plicant who came in answer to the ad vertisement was a stout, red-haired young woman. Mrs. Wickersham' pro pounded several questions to her, which she answered in a fairly satis factory manner. Then she asked her: "How long do you boll tea?" "Well, mem." said the young wom an, "some folks biles it longer, an' some shorter. It's all a matter o taste."

"At" or "In." In the matter ot "at" or "in," even London has not always occupied a se cure position. A proclamation of Henry III. has "at London," and the same preposition is applied to the great city so lafe as in Richardson's "Pamela." Frequently in country places "at London" may be heard to this day, and a correspondent has even heard a Suffolk country girl say "at Shropshire." Probably the broad dis tinction is that "at" is used by people who conceive of the place in question merely as a point on the map. or as of convenient size to be regarded as fix ing a person's whereabouts. "In" Is substituted when we think of the place as having parts and magnitude. 3ut the Devonian solves the difficulty by substituting "to" impartially for both "at" and "in." London Chi oni ric Dog Rescued Another in Distress. An instance of a dog's devotion is reported by M. K. Gleason of War 'n, Pa. Mr. Gleason and others noted a big shepherd dog on the railroad bridge over the Allegheny barking frantically. The animal ran to them and then back to one of the center piers, where it stopped and looked down. Finally the men secured a ladder and going out on the bridge clambered down and found a fox terrier dog that had fallen there. When the little dog was rescued the joy of the shepherd vas unbounded and it manifested its gratitude by jumping up on the men and licking their hands. Pertinent Question.
