Great alarm prevails in Stromsburg
and Osceola ami surrounding country
over the spread of spinal meniugitis
among children which has developed in
to an epidemic, and State Inspector
Wilson has taken steps to establish a
qunrantine. Physicians say that spinal
meningitis is one of the most appalling
of diseases in respect to its mortal char
acter. The assertion that it is contagious
iq open to dispute, but the prevalence of
the disease in the territory around
Stromsburg ann" theother towns have in
duced the inspector to believe that con
tusion has had something to do with the
situation. Because of this Inspector
Wilson will order a quarantine, an order
which is seldom made in cases of spinal
meningitis.

BEliliWOOD.
From the Gazette.
John Vandermulen's barn, cob house,

out door buildings, were burned to ash
es between four and five o'clock Tues
day afternoon. We did not learn what
caused the fire. None of his live stock
were burned,
In the neighborhood of the Platte
river on Sunday we noticed whole fami
lies in the wheat fields cutting and
shocking. As it has been impossible to
get into the wheat fields in that locality
owing to heavy rains we don't blame
them for embracing the opportunity.
Owing to the rainy weather week be
fore last much wheat still remains un
cut in many fields. Un tne old uai
laway farm, which is now held down by'
Phillie Smith, his crop is in such a con
dition that it will be hard to get. The
wheat on Comisky's land is also in bad
condition, so also are tbe wheat fields on
the old Jim and Gus Hill farms held
down by John L. Beisdorf and Charley
Bailey. There are other fields of wheat
in that neighborhood and along the river
road that look bad. the half of which
will never be gathered. At the price
wheat is it will be quite a loss to the
owners.

There is great rejoicing at tbe Joe
Yonnahme home over the recovery of

away the forepart of last February and
altbongh it had been advertised by the

Joe received a letter from Julius Sntter,
who lives near the Wisherd ranch, telling
him that one of the - tenants there had.a
strange horse that answered the descrip
tion of his. Joe went up, and sure
enough it waa his long-lost horse. The
man who had taken up the animal had
been using the same and so charged
nothing for its keep.

This is a curious truth, an odd

beholder as a thing at variance witt

ful that it wrings the heart and brings

futile to restore life to the inanimate

Three Meals for Six Cents.

the other day recommended that the
amount paid to the sheriff for the
daily food supply of prisoners in the
jail be cut from 12 cents to 6 cents
for each prisoner. The daily portion
for each prisoner is one loaf of bread,
two cups of coffee and one bowl of
soup, with meat once a week. The
grand jury says: "We believe the
same can be served at a cost not to
exceed six cents."
Degrees of Pain.
Pain is a general term. A pain
which is local and of short duration
is a twinge. If local and continuous,
It is an ache. Agony, torment and the
like, when not the mere hysteria of
overstatement, are employed to des
ignate the higher degrees of pain.
Money and Its Uses.
Money is the clothing of a gentle
man; he may wear it well or ill. Some
carry great quantities of it gracefully;
some, with a stinted supply, present a
decent appearance; very few will
bear inspection who are absolutely
stripped of it. George Meredith.
Value of Ideals.
Ideals are like stars; you. will not
succeed in touching them with your
hands. But, like the seafaring man
on the deserts of water, you choose
them as your guides, and following
them you reach your destiny. Carl
Schurz.
Beware of Chattering.
Conversation, like bonbons, should
be taken in moderation. About the
only one that can thoroughly enjoy
unlimited chatter is a member of the
monkey tribe. To talk the clock
around generally means words not
ideas.
Must Have Something to Attain.
Alas for the self-satisfied. He who
is without aspirations is poor Indeed.
For all life consists in realizing un
realized ideals, and he who has no un
realized ideals Is already dead, and
knows it not. Lyman Abbott.
A Dutch Auction.
A Dutch auction is the name given
to a public sale In which the auc
tioneer fixes a price upon the article
to be sold, above its value, and then
gradually reduces It until some one
closes with an offer.
Everything Originates in the Mind.
Genius believes Its faintest pre
sentiment against the testimony of
all history, for it knows that facts
are not ultlmates. but that a state of
mind is the ancestor of everything.

"One of the reasons why It's silly
