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. And
the warm weather proceeding it made it
feel that much colder when the wave
reached here.

St. Edward, dropped dead on the Tenth

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

She waa ascending the stairway,

the second attack within a few days.
Mrs. BisseU was 79 years, eleven
months and seven days old, being
born in Ohio November 23, 1829.
Short services were held' at the home
Monday afternoon, being conducted
by Rev. Harkness of the Presbyterian

Omaha and Columbus bowlers
played the first match game of the
season at the Hagel alleys Monday
evening, which resulted in a victory
for Omaha by a score of 2,651 to
2,545. 6. O. Francisco of Omaha was
high with 616, and Ed. Kavanaugh of
this dty second with a score
of 584. Both teams, were in

Next April the second annual state
reunion and state convention of the
Spanish-American War Veterans will
be held in this city, and there will be
between aeven and eight hundred

the order will fell most of the ex
pense for entertaining this meeting,
and in order to assist in raising funds
for that, purpose, they will give their
first annual ball, in the Orpheus hall,
on Friday evening, November 5. The
tickets are $1 each, and the boys hope
for a large attendance, so as to make
their fund as large as possible to
start with.
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.
