C. V. Holtorf returned Saturday from Holstein, Germany, where he has been making an extended visit to the father land since last September. Mr.' Holtorf Bays he was eleven days coming from Hamburg to Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Hord sailed Satur day from. Los Angeles for Honolulu, where they will remain a few weeks, re turning to Los Angeles, and the'n. after a few days, to Central City. Reports are that Mr. Hord is getting along in good shape. SIIiVKB CREEK. From the Sand For the past two weeks Charles Woos ter has been so ill as to alarm hia friends. Mr. Wooster was in town Tuesday, but only a few minutes, as nature cannot be overcome by will power, he was obliged to return home. By the aid of the business men of Silver Creek, the Silver Creek Cornet Band was re-organized last Monday night. They have secured the services of Prof. Paul of Columbus, a recognized leader of ability and will commence prac tice next Monday night. The boys will give a concert every Monday evening during the sninmar, commencing about May 2. Miss Sophia Wooster and Mr. D. D. Swinney were united in marriage at the home of the Rev. Harry Leeds of the Mizpath Presbyterian church, Portland, Oregon, on the evening of March 31st at 8 p.' m., in the presence of the immediate family. Miss Wooster is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wooster of Silver Creek, Nebraska, but she has been a resident of Portland for some time. ST. EDWARD From the Advance. Mrs. Wm. Barnica returned"homelast Saturday from St Mary's hospital, at Columbus, where she underwent a surgi cal operation a few weeks ago. The prospect for a good fruit crop has never been more promising than just at this lime. Not a tree is in bloom. Last season the fruit trees were in fall bloom in March and suffered severely from the late frosts. The weather has been such this spring that the farmers are well along with their spring work, bnt yet there have not been enough warm days to tempt the fruit bloom. No matter how sincere the motives of the Anti-Saloou League to run the town dry during the past year and thereby fulfill their pre-election promises, their evident failure to do s contributed very largely to. their defeat at Tuesday's elec tion. The town is now voted wet and the burden of responsibility will fall up on those who voted it so. It is already rumored that when the day-light law goes into effect next July there will be a splendid opportunity for bootleggers to reap a harvest. These statements are merely conjectures and their trutbfull nees can only be determined after the law is in actual operation.

From the Democrat Henry Krause accompanied his four teen year old daughter Lizzie to the Co lumbus hospital Monday for medical tre&Jinent. Some time ago the young lady was ill with lung fever, the effects of which has left her in poor health. Miss Margaret D egan, who has been making an extended visit in Platte coun ty left for her home in Bed Lodge, Mont., this week. She expects to return to Nebraska this fall in order to settle up her father's estate which is now In probate court. Occasionally some person with a mali cious trait in his makeup, meddles with a mail box on a rural route. In doing so he commits an act "which the postoffice department looks upon as very serious. The law provides that any one guilty of injuring or tearing down a mail box or stealing or damaging the mail in it shall bs punished by fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, or by imprison ment for not less than one year nor more than three years. Thoughtless or mali cious persons shonld bear this in mind when attempting to meddle with a mail box. When the postoffice inspectors start after a violator of the law, they invariably get him. PLATTE CENTER From the Signal. One of the boys shot a number of large carp in Shell creek last week. One of the fish weighed 14 pounds. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Kummer and family and Miss Mae Bloedorn drove up from Columbus Sunday and spent the day the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Scheidel, sr. Henry M. Schumacher, son of John Schumacher, who is in the U. S navy, attached to the U. S S. Virginia, has been stationed in San Francisco for a year or more but a letter from him this week informs us that he is now stationed at Portsmouth, Virginia. Three years ago Will Bacon struck a flowing well on M. . Oiother farm, two miles north'Of Piatt Center, which has since then thrown a steady stream, nearly half filling a two inch pipe al though but a small part of the point was in the stream. Lately the stream had diminished slightly, probably beoause the point had become clogged. List Friday Eugene Bacon took his machine up there for the purpose of going deeper and getting more water. He had gone bnt about two feet when he struck a flow which not only compelled him to stop but broke the coupling on bis ma chine. The stream fills the two inch pipe and was strong enough to. throw gravel stones as large as marbles. The stream will rise some twelve feet above the surface. This well is about a hun dred feet deep and is located on the bank of a draw which conveys the water into Elm creek. Mr. Bacon is confident that a twelve-inch pipe could be filled from this vein as strong as this two-inch one,and if utilized would furnish a valua ble water-power. A. Columbus. KOVBOK. from the BepabUcaa. John KeeJer bid a bad sinking; veil last Monday, and. for a tine his good wife, who ha stood by bin bed for years, thought .he was gone, bat became on&bf it all right and" rallied." But is'still very sick. W. EL Cok. who was in Columbus this week on business, said the' condition of his wife, who baa bees quite sick, is im proving and there are hopes for her early recovery. She is still at' the hospital in Kansas City. Will NaBsel, who baa been-.ia the hos pital for several weeks oh acroant of-a dislocated hip, returned home Thursday .r He has sufficiently recovered to be able to walk, -but it will be several weeks be fore be can again do any ordinary work. Sufficient names have been secured to incorporate the Farmers' elevator at this place, and there is no further question about its success. Those pushing, the project are going to secure ten per cent of the stock in. eaah and then the work of building will be taken up. A letter received by relatives -telto'of the marriage of Miss Edith Hoi Hogshead, daughter of A. N. Hollingsnead, at Gan ado, Texas; last week. Miss Hollings head will be' remembered by many, as she attended the Monroe schools for one term and lived with her grandparents. With the first of 'the month another change was made at the Omaha Elevator at this, plhce, Carl Hart' succeeding W H. Groves. 8ince A..E. Priest left the employ of the company changes in agents have been rather frequent, Mr. Hart be ing the third man employed since that time. This spring Geo. Emerson has shipped in six cars of tiling, which he is using at the seed farm to drain the low lands. This is a continuation of the work began several years ago, when considerable til ing was put in, and the results obtained from the first work are responsible for its continuation. More tiling -is expect ed and it will take at least- ten cars al together to complete the present work. This land, when properly drained, is very rich and the additional production soon pays for U improvements. Tuesday afternoon the township meet ing for Oconee township was held in the town hall. Chas. Cbapin, township clerk, called the meeting to order and C. W. Talbifzer was. elected moderator Owing to the bad weather the attendan ce was small, not over a dozen being pre sent at any time. After the reading and approving of the minutes, the matter of purchasing a traction engine for doing road work was diBCUBsed,ahd the town ship officers were instructed to investi gate and authorized to .purchase an engine, if, in their judgement, it would be for the best interests of the township. The annual township levy was then taken up, and by a unanimous vote it was or dered that eight mills be levied for roads and, bridges and two mills for general purposes. HOWELLS' From the Journal. Last Saturday afternoon the Catholic Foresters' hall and the lot on which it stands was sold at public sale. Louis Nagengast was the highest bidder and got the property for $1,525. The ball has not proven a paying proposition to the stockholders and for that reason they disposed of it Yesterday Howells sent a finished pro duct of the liquor traffic to the Colfax county poor farm. Broken in health, wrecked in puree, at a time in life when he should be in his prime and a useful and valuable citizen, Peter Prochaska becomes a public charge. Some years back he was employed by the farm era of the neighborhood during the sum mer months and inthe winter was in the habit of coming to town and doing work around the saloons for his drinks and a small wage; hut as time passed the farm lost its charms for him and he retnaimd in town the year round running lunch counters in the different saloons. The-r expected happened liquor undermined his rugged constitution and he became a wreck; some time ago be was forced by his pbysicial condition to forsake the lunch counter business, and yesterday healthiest, holpless and penniless be journeyed to the poor farm to end his days. A lesson in temperance, indeed! We wonder how many will profit by it? Will it deter some of our young men who are walking in the paths he trod? We hope so. BBUiWOOD. From the Gazette. Dr. I. H. Lewis died at the family res idence in David City late Saturday eve ning, at the 'age of eighty-one years. Doctor Lewis was one of the first settlers in David City, having located here in the early seventies and practiced his pro fession until about ten years ago he re tired on account of feeb'e health. He leaves a widow and a host of friends. v Louis McNeil, aged 33. was found dead Monday morning, Maroh 29, at the home of bis mother in the south part of Utica, by a sister who tried to call him for breakfast. He bad been dead several hours. A doctor attended hits Sunday, night but did not think anythingserious was troubling him. Two doctors were called who stated be died or heart trou ble. Mr. McNeil served in, the First Nebraska regiment. A peculiar specimen of animal life waa seen at the farm of Jamea Booth, two. miles east or Schuyler, two days ago. It was a calf having two beads. Its two heads are joined together where the two inside ears would be if it had four ears.

After the Ltacky Baldwin theater and hotel fire In San Francisco years ago there were nine feet of water in the basenient, where the instruments of the orchestra were stored.' When a little of it had been pumped out, 'Au gust Hinrichs, leader of thejorchestra hired a man to swim in and get out his famous Amati violin. It was wrecked water soaked, warped, twisted and broken ,up into; 68 pieces. The hot water had soaked' out all the old glue, and every piece had fallen away from its neighbor, be sides a good many patches of wood put in when repairs had been done. Tc all appearance the thing was smashed beyond recall. Nevertheless, Herman Muller, a local violin repairer, who knew and loved the old fiddle, took it in hand Twice he carefully joined the time darkened pieces of wood. Twice he decided that the Amati would not do. So once more he soaked the 68 bits of wood apart. Then he carefully modeled out of clay an arch such as he remembered that of the old Amati to have had, and for nine weks kept the bits of wood bound to it until they had gained the proper shape.- Once more he put the bits of wood together. Then for five weeks more he patiently varnished and polished the more than 200-year-old fiddle untf. it shone. Then Hinrichs once more drew his bow across the vibrating strings, and the violin spoke. It sang wept, bubbled with life and joy. The Amati had foundts soul. darn Dancing a Fashionable Exercise. Barn dancing is being turned into s fashionable exercise. But don't think "barn dancing" means dancing- in & barn. It simply implies an old fashioned, vigorous "square" dance Fencing has made many a womar gracefully slender and developed hei wits as well as her arms, yet fencing is not as much in vogue as it used.tc be. The barn dance is the thing tc bring a fat girl down to the right pro portions for the bolster case empire gown. When a half dozen girls get to gether now it is likely they will fling about with great vigor in the bare dance. But there is one drawback Such dancing does not suit the waj most women wear their hair. Puffs- and curls strew the floor and such ex hibits are embarrassing. Frocks and Personality. The Englishwoman does not diffuse enough personality into her clothes. If she Is tall and gaunt she chooses severe tailor-made costumes and looks like a clothes press. If she is small she tilts on her enormous curled coif fure, a monster hat and sews a gigan tic Elizabethan frill into the neck of her blouse. London Bystander. PILES! PILES! PILES!

The Reo chain-drive, and the powerful Reo engine, give all the speed and power that tourists need, and can be relied upon under all conditions.

The remarkable sagacity of Trixie, the educated horse that was killed in a railroad wreck recently, is vouched for by Mrs. Louise Culp, of Cleveland, O., who saw the animal while it was on exhibition at the' Jamestown fair. "Spell the lady's name," said Trixic's owner to the horse. "Her name is Louise" dividing the syllables and pronouncing them "Lo-es." The horse promptly spelled the name and spelled it phonetically "Lo-es." About two months later, when he had become acquainted with the name, he also conformed to the spell er and picked it out prope'rly L-o-u-i-s-e. What puzzles the students of natural history is how the horse learned tc spell at all. e UHION PACIFIC TIME TttLE WEST BOC5D. No. EAST BODICD.
