Twenty-three degrees above zero and a enow storm on October 11 is the record for 1909. And it made everyone think of their hard coal burners and winter clothes It has been quite a number of yars since there has been as hard a freeze as early in the season as this one, and no one was prepared for .it.

Platte county land is still advanc ing, and -it was demonstrated more than ever Tuesday that if you buy now you cannot lose. At least that waa the opinion of an interested crowd who attended the Lawson land sale at the court house Tuesday. The 35z acres brought 124,992 and the average per acre .was 70.10, which waa divided as follows: A. O. Pear eon paid the highest price for the tract, which adjoins his land, which waa aa eighty and his bid was $86 per acre. Andrew Roane bought an other eighty, but he paid $79 for his. The home place, on which the build lags were located and which con tained 182 acres, waa bought by Steve Battles, the price being $66.50 per acre. Wm. Backer, of this city, bought" a forty acre tract at $56 per acre. This establishes a new .record for land prices In that part of the Loup Valley, but while It seems n lit-. tie high for the present, will soon be the average price. Mrs. Rebecca Blasell; the aged mother of Mrs. M. B. Rogers, dropped dead Sunday forenoon at the family home, in the Episcopal parsonage.

In order to verify the correctness of the present meter in use at the city water plant, a manometer, which wiir check the present meter, has been in stalled by the city. As the electric light company is paid for pumping by the record made by the meter, it is very essential that it should be abso lutely correct. For sometime there has seemingly been a question as to whether or not the meter, which was not placed where the company in stalling it, provided it should be, has been recording absolutely correct, but the installation of the manometer for a short time will settle the question.
