From tho Signal.
Wednesday morning the atmosphere
was chilly enough to set the. Sons of
Rest to thinking about appointing a
committee to look up some place other
than the railing of the bridge to hold
their daily seseioDS.
Tim dam at Thomson & Cossairt's
roller mill sprung a leak again last
Thursday of sufficient size to allow the
water to escape in a few hours. While
the hreuk is not a very serious one, and
could be repaired in a short time and at
a y-ry small cost, the repair could only
be temporary at beet Since the pre
sent par'y has owned the mill, a period
of about. 8 years, some nine thousand
dollars has been expended in re-build-
iiig and repairing that dam, and he says
tlm'. lie will not put another dollar into
it. Mr Thomsen, who owns the pro
Pt, lives at Battle Greek. He was
hen- Friday, and after looking the mat
ter over expressed a determination to
move the mill to M-adw Grove and run
it with n hs production plant" for
pwtr. It is possible that he can be in
!iiLed to leave it here. The same power
that will run it at Meadow Grove will
ruu it here, and it can be moved up
town without disturbing a piece of ma
chinery, while to move it up there it
will have to be all torn to pieces, cost
inginany timtsas much as to leave it
here. There is certainly no better point
in the state for a mill of this size than
Piatie Center. There is plenty of wheat
raised here and so far as a market for
mill products is concerned a ready sale
lias always been found for every pound
they could manufacture. The business
men hero and the farmers hereabouts
cannot afford to do without a mill, and
it is hoped that Mr. Thomsen will change
his mind before he takes any decisive
stop.
Signal, as we dont want to stir up trouble
and these men go around with grins on
their faces and act as though they had
done something real cute!

From the Poet.
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock solemn
high mass was celebrated at the St.
Bernard Catholic church, in which
Clemence Neibour and Miss Clara
Deiderich were united in marriage by
Father Baymould. A large crowd of
relatives and friends witnessed the cere
mony. The brides maids were Misses
Mary Weidner and Mary Deiderich,
with little Stella Weidner and Tilhe
Kurtenbach for flower girls; the grotn
was attended by Albert Neibonr and
Tony Diederich. After the ceremony
the bridal couple, accompanied by their
relatives and many friends returned to
the home of the bndeB parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Hath Deid- rich, where an elegm
wedding dinner wa served aud a grand
reception tendered a large number of
invito d guests. The groom i the oldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Neibour, and
is a prosperous young farmer. The
bride is the third daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Math Deiderich, a most respected
young lady. Both have lived in this
vicinity since childhood. They will go

a beautiful home for bis bride. We join
their many friends in extending our
heartiest congratulations for n happy
and prosperous married life.
i'ertha Kluver, eldest child of Mr. and
Mrs. Herman Kluver, living on Ed Per
kinson's farm, two miles southeast of
Platte Center, died last Thursday morn
inn, after an illness of one week. Her
aze was 11 years, 1 month and 16 days.
The funeral was conducted from the
German Baptist church in Platte Cen
ter. S-tturday afternoon. Rev. Hilsinger
officiating. The remains were laid to
rest in the new Baptist cemetery, on the
farm across the road from where she
lived. The sympathy of the entire com
munity is with the sorrowing parents
brothers ami sisters.
There a-e some mighty mean men in
this t"wn Mnrried ones, too. A cer
tain fani'y here had a fine pig. The
wife t ud been giren the pig. With the
proceeds of its sale she was to purchase
son" household necessity. One morn
ing this week it was decided that the
pit: was ripe, and it was delivered to the
local dealer and sold for a few cents less
thin seventeen dollars But this wife
not in the habit of reading the market
reports, nor could she guess very closely
as to how much the animal weighed.
So the villainous husband and the un
principled dealer put up a trick, and all
she realized for her fine porker was five
dollars nnd seventeen cents. We hope
this wife will fail to read this weeka

A number of our townsmen who in
vested in an Oregon land lottery some
months ago, received the good news this
week that they have been fortunate in
drawing more or less land. The land
was platted in tracts of from ten to forty
acres and the payment of 8200 in month
ly payments secured at least a ten acie
tract and a lot in the prosperous town of
Lake View. The following men have
received notice of their drawings in land
and lots: J. O. Bates 40 acres; W. W.
Ladd 40 acres Tony Fisher 4o acres;
Jac. Fisher 20 acres; Carl Bethschieder
20 acres;. Emil Theien 20 acres; Nicholas
Betbscheider 10 acres, and H. W. Krenz
10 acres. Several other Humphrey men
have invested in the lottery but their
names have not yet been drawn.
Here is a pledge that every citizen of
Humphrey should take, and live up to:
"On my word and honor, I hereby now

not have time to take them up himself,
he sent the exhibit by E. . Fellers,
who msde six entries. Charlie was
somewhat surprised to learn that he had
carried off live first premiums and one
second. The greater portion of this
orchard was set out a number of years
ago by J. S. Kennedy and contains
many of the choicest fall and winter

GENOA.
From the Times.
Members of the school board visited
the schools Monday and warned children
not to loiter on the streets after school
but go direct to their homes. This pre
caution has been taken to prevent, if
possible, a visitation of spinal meningiti
is in the community. It is stated, by a
prominent medical authority, that spin
al meningitis germs are carried in dust
blown from the street, and that the dis
ease is not contagions like scarlet fever
and diphtheria. The complaint prevails
in many localities in Nebraska at pre
6ent. In one town in the western part
of the state eight cases of spinal mening
itis were reported, all of which were
fatal. The disease has prevailed in
Polk county for several weeks. Out of
forty cases reported only six proved fat
al. The only cases in the vicinity of
Genoa are in Prairie Creek township, and
here the disease is confined to one family.
SII.VBB CRKBK.
From the Sand
The local freight through Silver Creek
is allowed to carry passengers if they
can get on, which is seldom, for the ca
boose is generally left standing so far
away from the depot that it is a hard
matter to board it. This is meant for a
kick and there should be roanv others
preferably to the powers that be in rail
road matters.

Detroit Theosophist Insists That He
Was Projected Across the World
While Asleep.
That in his sleeping hours recenUy
he became an actor in an episode of
the period of rioting and bloodshed,
which has been taking place in Tehe
ran, the capital of Persia, is the belief
of A. E. Madgwlck, 2875 East Grand
boulevard, says the Detroit Free Press.
Mr. Madgwlck is one of the most thor
oughly erudite theosophists in the
country.
Like all theosophists who accept the
ancient Vedantist philosophy, Mr.
Madgwlck holds that during profound
sleep, the "self or "ego" leaves its
earthly body and wanders at will
through the universe,
"Of course, all dreams are not of
one class," said he cautiously, after,
he had with some reluctance consent-,
ied to talk of his personal experience.
"However, for this dream of mine:
I seemed to be in a big city with queer
oriental houses and narrow streets.
As I walked here and there I heard
the sound of guns, and the yells and
shrieks and horrible sounds that nat
urally accompany fighting and massa
cre in the streets. Suddenly I came,
upon a body of soldiers who, as I
knew from their uniforms, were Rub-'
'slans.
"These soldiers were killing, and to
get away I ran up a side street or al
ley with a high wall at the end.
.There I met another man who was
also trying to escape.
"We ran for the door of a house and
my comrade, who seemed determined
to take care of me, pushed me inside.
As he did so, I saw the gleam of a
bayonet and knew that he was gone,
.though I was safe in the house. The
shock awoke me.
I "Persia Is a long way from Detroit,
nevertheless I am firmly convinced
that It was to Teheran that I went In
any astral body that night"
Mangled by California Lion.
While on an afternoon's outing the
other day with two boys. Miss Isola
Kennedy, a young girl who Is widely
known as a temperance worker, was
attacked and mangled by a California
lion near Glen Willis, 15 miles from
San Jose, Cal., The lion first sprang
on one of the boys and then
attacked Miss Kennedy, who fought
him as best she could with a long
hatpin. The boys ran to the camp
of a water company near by and gave
the alarm, and John Conlon and A.
Fletcher hastened to the girl's aid. The
former fired four times at the animal
with a shotgun, and Fletcher fired
three shots with a rifle into the ani
mal before the beast died. The girl's
left arm was terribly mangled and her
entire body lacerated, and her condl
tlon is serious. One boy's neck was
clawed and one of his ears split
open.
Manage Your Own Kingdom.
The puzzles that vex us are number
less. Remember the mass that keeps
the world well balanced is composed
of the cheerful, commonplace hordes
making the best of every day. Man
age your own small kingdom and do
not fret about the future of society.

Whittler's Somewhat Remarkable Rea

spoke. Cleverton regarded him with
a quizzical look.
"You have d comfortable home?"
he asked.
"Splendid; nothing could ho better."
"And a loving wife?"
"None more so. Studies to please
all the time. Never obtrudes herself,
and is silent when desirable."
"You are in good physical condi

"No trouble of any sort, no hidden
worry that you want to get away
from?"
"None, whatever. Everything is se
rene." "What then, is the reason for your
going?"
Whlttler smiled.
"My dear boy," he replied, "don't
you know that when everything is
running smoothly, when there Is abso
lutely no cause for complaint, when
you simply couldn't Improve on the
present condition if you tried don't
you understand that then the pure

if
This Story Is True New Jersey
Grocery Man Certainly Has a
Remarkable Dog.
For years Henry Williamson, a
Trenton (N. J.) grocer, had great diffi
culty in dealing with I. O. U. custom
ers. A year ago a tramp offered to
sell him a dog which could be trained
"to do anything." Williamson thought
If the animal could be learned the
trick of keeping away customers with
no money his grocery business would
prosper, and with the idea of giving
the canine such a course of instruc
tion, he purchased him.
Trust was the name assigned to the
dog, and every customer was acquaint
ed with the canine, as by the actions
of the grocer Trust soon learned
whether to be friendly or to growl
when certain patrons called.
Mr. Williamson assumed the atti
tude of harshness when he was told
to "put It on the book" and his de
meanor was overwhelmingly friendly
when a cash customer made a visit
Trust quickly became "wise" to these
changes in his master and took kindly
to his course of training.
A few months later the dog would
growl and make vicious attacks on I.
O. U. customers and would lick the
hands of those who paid cash. The
result is that Mr. Williamson has no
more book accounts, his business be
ng entirely on a cash basis.
Curiosity.
Not only does every woman who en
ters an elevator containing a mirror
turn, round immediately, touch up her
frizzes and remove flakes of soot from
her face, but men adjust their neckties,
take a deliberate survey of them
selves, and pose and inflate their
chests like Col. Sellers of lamented
memory. A little stenographer in
her building over near the city hall,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, had
been observing this peculiarity in the
lords of creation. One day, having
surprised a man making a more de
liberate and careful scrutiny than
usual, she expressed her opinion to
"James," the elevator man: "You
needn't talk about the vanity of wom
en after that," she exclaimed, scorn
fully; "men look at themselves twice
as long and twice as intently as the
vainest woman that ever breathed."
"You didn't hear what he said to me,
did you?" asked James. "No." "He

TRAGIC STORY OF
DIAMOND
Famous Gem, fcr Which Original Find
er Was Murdered, Had Many
Vicissitudes.
Men have never collected great
crystals just for personal adornment.
Even that "fribble in lace and span
gles," the rival of Beau Brummel, and
afterward George IV. of England
even he sought them simply for some
Perditia he was pursuing. Louis XIV.,
Le Grand Monarque, purchased 25
large diamonds, mostly for his mis
tresses LaValliere, whose name still
endures in a form of trinket, Mon
tespan, Fontanges, Maintenon. Among
them was the wondrous "Pitt," says
Franklin Clarkin in Everybody's.
A slave in India had found it Hav
ing found it his heart shouted for lib
erty. Cutting the calf of his leg in
order to hide the diamond within the
slit, he limped to the coast To an
English ship captain he offered it
for passage to any country where
men were free. The captain quite
casually, and with humor, took the
gem and threw the slave Into the
sea!
The guerdon of such Jesting release
from servitude was sold to a dealer
for $5,000 and through him reached
Sir Robert Pitt, .governor of Fort St
George, for $102,000. who shipped it
home to England to be faceted. A Scotch
financier, John Law, then doing busi
ness in France, negotiated, for a fee
of $25,000, the sale of the diamond to
the regent (afterward Louis XVI.). at
$775,000. It is pleasant to remember
that thereby the fortunes of the house
of Pitt were restored and that the
seller's son. William Pitt, and his
grandson, the earl of Chatham, were
assisted to high place and service by
the opportunities made possible
through the profit on the diamond, for
which a poor slave, seeking freedom,
was thrown into the sea.

A Ship's Medicine Chest
An old ship captain said he sailed
all around the world some 15 times
and the only medicines he allowed
aboard were "castor ile" and "whip
picac." If they were sick below the
belt caste- oil did the work; if above, j

The Greeting Table.
A fad of the moment that Is
pretty one in the way of household
decoration is the greeting table that
stands just within the door, and Is the
first thing that the guest sees. It may
be a plain affair, but it must con
tain a vase or pot of flowers. In sum
mer it is easy enough to have fresh
flowers each day, but In winter the
plant on the greeting table nfeist be
something that blooms and will not be
hurt by the draught from the open
door. Pink oxalis is suggested as a
hardy plant for this purpose or the
florist may be able to suggest some
thing even better.
