From the Nonpareil. The local rreight on the Union Pacific make Central City its western terminal loint now, returning to Columbus from here instead of going on to Grand Is land. The change was made last week. Since the Stromsbnrg line was placed in operation the local freight on that line and the local freight on the main line both run to Grand Island. There was no demand for two local freights between here and Grand Island and so the main line train is no longer required to make that run. M. W. Foster, the Hamilton county man who achieved state wide distinction in 1896 by vowing that he would never get his hair cut until Bryan was elected president, has finally surrendered to the inevitable, acknowledged the impossible and now goes about shorn of his luxur iant tresses. He was summoned as a juror in the district cout of Hamilton county last week and before going to Aurora had his hirsute appendage am putated.

No one was hurt. Two of the tramps boarded the tram at Oma ha and the other at Columbus. Arriv ing at Central City the firemen put them off, but as the train started they got on again, probably having a horror of being left in a dry town. The train was stop ped and the knights of the road were again put, off a little west of the water tank. Enraged by this, one of them pulled a revolver and tired, but the bul let went wild. Columbus.

Last Saturday evening Schuyler and vicinity was visited by rain, hail'and wind. The heavy winds turned into a real cyclone which did but little damage owing to the small momentum gathered. As far as we have bad reports it was the worst out at George Watsons and the cemetery. It demolished nearly all of tbe'out buildings at WateonB causing a damage of about $200. Out at the ceme tery Mr. and Mia. J. B. Edgar, living in the country, were doing some work. When they saw the storm-coming they, started to leave the cemetery. By the time they got into their wagon it was up ou them and dust and trash made it im possible for them to see where they were going. They struck one of the iron poets at the gate with such force that they were both thrown out and Che horses loosened from the wagon by the tongue breaking. It is miraculous that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Edgar was seriously injur ed. They were taken home by one of their neighbors and. after they had got ten over tbeir fright were not much worse off for their experience. The cyclone seemed to divide which lessened its fury and at several other places only minor damage were done. After the wind spent its fury rain come, followed in some places by a large quantity of hail. PliATTE CKHTBB From the Signal.

Two young girls from David City and one from Bellwood hunt; out their slum ber shingle at a farm house in Alexin township Saturday night. The hired man, who always has been inthe habit of turning a somersault into bed, was out until a late hour that nitht, so the girls thought ihey would play a joke on him. They fixed the slats of his bed so that they merely held up, covered them over nicely with thebed clothes and as usutl the young man on returning, made his nightly hand spring, when down went everything with a thump, which wan followed by a few words in German not bis prayers. They also changed the hour of his alarm clock and made 'him get up before he scarcely had the bed warm.

A workman was packing salt about a pile of timber. "Seasoning timber with salt, eh? It sounds like a joke, doesn't it?" he said. "It is often done, though, especially in ship timber. Ships built of salt-seasoned timber get a better insurance rate. Some ve.ry rich woods are seasoned in boiling oil. That's an ancient and costly process. A new dodge is electrical seasoning. With strong electric shocks the sap is driven out of the wood and replaced by a solution of borax and resin. The scheme is cheap; not half as good as salt" Spanish Executioner's Remorse. A curious story co nit's from Seville On Sunday night the local executioner died, his death being due to remorse. For several years he bad not carried out any executions, but recently he was summoned to Cordova to inflict the final penalty on some criminals. The impression made upon him was so painful that he was unable to face the ordeal when summoned to execute the last criminal condemned in Seville, and the sentence will have to be car ried out by the Madrid executioner.

Funkhouser was driving through the street last Monday with iust the running gears of the wagon bis team became frightened and ran away, throwing George off the wagon. One of the wheels ran over bis head, cutting bis scalp slightly and bruising bis face considerably, but aside from this he sus tained no serious injury. During the pant few months quite a number of chickens have been killed in Shelby by dogs and to this fact was un doubtedly considered a sufficient reason by some one for the indiscriminate use for poison. Friday evening poisoned meat was scattered around over town and several dogs were poisoned, but none of these were dogs that ever did any .mischief. The putting out of poison as was done here last Friday evening is not only dangeron.0, but a malicious and un lawful act. The marriage of Mr. Grover C Vest and Miss Minnie M.

Chlvalrv is an nM-faliinnfit wnrrt- but the thing itself, though less in evi - dence, was never so much in action aSvin our very own time. Men show it In their whole attitude toward their women friends. -They handle our feel ings with their lightest touch, they walk among. our prejudices on tiptoe, they take off their hats to our bigotry if we call it religion; they accept our squeamishness for refinement; and they grow gray before they discover that with certain women a fit of tears means no more than a fit of profanity from some men. They surely arc pa tient in their own way. But neither can it be denied that in their choice of friends they are sometimes stupid to a heart-rending degree. In the main, an Anglo-Saxon's man's friends are as little of his choosing as the shape of his nose. One can run over the list in the dark. His family friends, his wife's friends, the wives of his friends. Then come the inconsid erable residuum (In size), the friends whom he has chosen for himself.
