FRISCHHOLZ BROS 405 11th Street, Columbus. GENOA. From the Times. Au attack on the constitutionality of the 8 o'clock saloon closing bill, passed by the last legislature, was commenced in the supreme court Monday. It is charged that the wrong statute was amended and that the act is further invalid because of its cruel and unusual penalties, it being urged that a convict ed defendant is allowed no appeal or trial by jury. Undoubtedly the retiring pastor of the Methodist church of Silver Creek did not conduct himself strictly in accord with the ideas of the editor of Sand, for he gives the new minis ter some editorial advice about "sticking his nose into individual affairs and siding with fanat ics." If there is any class of profes sional men who should have the sym pathy of the press, it's the preacher and the hard working school teacher. Like the editor, their work is of a public character, and often unjustly criticised and their efforts ridiculed. Don't find fault with the preacher. Vent your spleen on the editor, for he don't give a milldam what you say about him. BEtiliWOOD. From the Gnzcttn. Willie Eigsti of Milford, in Seward county, blew off the head of Herman Kurz, seventeen years of age. last Sat urday, following a dispute over which could husk the most corn. J. J, Judevine was a pleasant caller at the Gazette office on Wednesday. In Wisconsin he says they have got about the finest roads in the United States; but their land and crops don't amount to much compared with Nebraska. The people, when doing their trading, use the check system. J. J. on joyed the trip, but he still thinks there is no place like old Butler county. The editor of the Cambridge Democrat is a lady. Last week she wrote a de mand that the north pole be added to the democratic column, because Dis coverer Cook is a democratic. And this led the bright Walquist of the Hastings Democrat, to say: "Heavens, sister! Haven't we democrats had frosts enough?" That reply ought to hold Sister Clary's rat in place for a season. One Nebraska paper advocates a plan whereby young ladies attending church es in the evening can register their names in the church vestibule, so that the young men who are in the habit of lingering around the church door can see whether or not their best girl is pres ent and thus set a troubled brain at rest. This plan would undoubtedly be a great convience for a certain class of young men and would work well in many places. HUMPHREY. From the Democrat Peter J. Ternus and Miss Mary A. Fangman were united in the holy bonds of Matrimony at St. Francis church at half past eight o'clock Wednesday morn ing October 20, Rev. Father Hildebrund officiating. Humphrey citizens in general were quite shocked Wednesday morning when it become known that Conrad Heesack er had passed away during the night. Mrs. Heesacker had risen about sis o'clock Wednesday morning and when she went to awaken her husband she found that the death angel had preceded her, Mr. Heesacker having expired sud denly sometime during the night, pre sumably from the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain. The farmers around Humphrey are making strenuous efforts these mild days to get most of their large corn crop in the bin before severe weather sets in. Corn is king, and the happy farmer who rides in from the field on his load of gold is a loyal knight of the husking peg. The days spent in the brisk autumn air gives him a constitu tion and an appetite that a multimillion aire might envy and the price of corn makes every field a gold mine. AZiBIOX. From tho News. Dr4 Chambers was sent by the state veterinarian tq examine some horses owned by Samuel McBrice, living near Primrose, which were reported to be infected with glanders. The report proved to be correct nnd J)r. Chambers had to kill six head, all the horses Mr. McBrice had. Mrs. Sena Johnson and Esther and Clara Johnson, minors, have brought suit in the district court for damnges in the sum of $10,000. The defendants in the case are Gus Arcs and William Hart wick of Newman Grove, W. E. Pinney and A. T. Pinney, a partnership, and G. W. Jackson of Oakdnlu, and the Lion Bonding it Surety Co. Arns it Hart wick were saloon keepers at Newman Grove and Pinney it Jackson were in the same business at Oakdale. The Surety Company had furnished their bonds, according to the petition on tile. Mrs. Johnson charges that her husband, Chas. Johnson, secured intoxicating liquor from the saloons of the defendants on the 5th of October, 100S. by which he became intoxicated and while in that condition he attempted to board the train at Oakdale and in doing so' fell be tween the cars and was run over and killed. It will be remembered that Johnson was on his way to the land drawing in Tripp county, S. D., when this accident occurred.

W. Sowards is in Omaha this week at one of the hospitals having his right hand cared for. About two weeks ago he accidentally pierced his hand with the point of an indelible pencil and alarming symptoms of blood poisoning had developed. Reports as we go to press say that an operation bad been performed and that he hoped for a speedy recovery. Prof, mid Mrs. I. H. Britell of Colum bus visited St. Edward relatives last Saturday and Sunday. .They made the trip in Mr. Britell's new Overland tour ing car. Mr. Britell has been principal of the Columbus schools for about six teen j ears and has been much handicap ped during that time in making visits to his parents by the train service between the towns. He believes he now has a solution to tho heretofore insurmoun table difliculty in a good reliable automobile. PLATTE CENTEB From tho Siena!. Mr. and Mrs. Max Bruckner had for a guest at their home the early part of the week Mrs. J. Johnson, of St. Bernard. Mrs. Johnson is past seventy-five years of age and is still very active, enjoys ex cellent health and reads without glasses. Noris Cbapin, a grandsou of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pinson, anil a nephew of Chas. Chnpin of Oconee, arrived here last Friday for a visit with relatives. This young man was horn at Oconee, hut is now located at Walla Walla, Wa-hington.

Thisf.rm lies one mile southeast from Plattf (.'enter nnd contains 120 acres, 80 acres on tho south 6idu of the road and 40 acres on the north side. The build ings on it are of little value, but there is a fine bearing apple and grape orchard. The purchaser is OhasGoosman,a farm er living five miles southeast of Platte Center. SHELHY. From the San. The furniture and fixtures for the new State Bank building have arrived and the officers expect to be located in their new and comfortable quarters by the first of the month. The separator of a threshing machine belonging to a Mr. Johnson was burned up with several stacks of grain last Fri day on the E. O. Carr farm. A spark from the engine caused the fire. Have the .citizens of Shelby given up all efforts to secure a hotel in the town? The failure to induce some outsider to build a hotel should not be allowed to balk all proceedings in this direction. We believe that there is a sufficient amount of capital that could be got to invest in an enterprise of this kind if a' proposition of the right kind was pre sented. To get together and all pull to gether is all that is needed to accomplish the desired result. A Medicine that Does Not Cost Any thing Unless It Gives Satisfac tory Relief. If you suffer from constipation in any form whatever, acute or chronic, we will guarantee to supply you medicine that we honestly believe will effect perman ent relief if taken with regularity nnd according to directions for u reasonable' length of time. Should the medicine fail to benefit you to your entire satis faction we promise that it shall cost you nothing. No other remedy can be compared with Rexall Orderlies for the easy, pleas ant and successful treatment of con stipation. The active medicinal ingred ient of this remedy, which is odorless tasteless and colorless, is an entirely new discovery. Combined with other valua ble ingredients, it f jrms a preparation which is incomparable as a perfect bow-' el regulator, intestinal invigorator and strengthened Rexall Orderlies are eat en like candy, and are notable for their gentle and agreeable action. They do not cause griping or any disagreeable effect or inconvenience, and may be taken at any time, day or night. We particularly recommend Kexall Orderlies for children and for delicate or aged persons, because they do not contain anything injurious. Unlike other preparations, they do not create a habit, but instead they overcome the habits acquired through the use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics, and harsh physic, and remove the causes of con stipation or irregular bowel action that are not of surgical variety. We want you to try Rexall Orderlies at our risk. We known of nothing that will do you so much good. They are prepared in tablet form in two sizes; 36 tablets 25 cents, and 12 tablets 10 cents. Remember yon can obtain Rexall reme dies in Columbus only at Pollock & Co's. drug store on the corner. S 4 LINDSAY. From tho Post. Farmers seven to ten miles north of town report the corn crop much better than in our immediate vicinity, their corn averaging above forty bushels per acre. While doing some repair work on the Paulsen building Monday George Hov lond fell and broke both bones in his left arm just above the wrist. His nose and right leg were aleo badly bruised. When Grandma was a little girl the latch string was always left on tho out side of the door so if a neighbor should be passing that way he might know he was welcome, but now it is different, if you want a pail of water and have no well on your lot, your wealthy property owning neighbor puts up a harbedwire fence and tells yon to go to the city well if you are thirsty. It is amusing to watch the average boy start in to learn his trade. One week's work and he knows he will make a success. At the end of the second week he graduates. Another week and be knows'morc about the business than his employer and makes up his mind to havo things run to suit him. Then by the middle of the next week he iB loafing on the streets, by invasion, and telling people how ignorant and how foolish that fellow is who owns that store, shop or office down the street. The Way to Happiness. To look fearlessly upon life; to ac cept the laws of nature, not with meek resignation, but as her sons, who dare to search and question; to have peace and confidence within our souls these are the beliefs that make for happiness. Materlinck. Enigmatical Calamity. Men have often abandoned what was visible for the sake of what was uncertain, have not got what they ex pected, and have lost what they had being unfortunate by an enigmatical sort of calamity.

Prof. Paul Hanus of the Harvard summer school told 500 teachers who are students in the school about the need of theK trade school as an exten sion of the' public school to save mil lions of American children from the calamity of starting in life as un skilled laborers. Starting so, the pro fessor said, means no career. "All their lives they must be under lings, except in rare instances." The same day or the next, Secretary Wil son was saying in Washington. "While the population of the United States has been steadily increasing through the usual additions at home and from immigration, the cultivated area of the country is decreasing. Thousands of acres formerly raising products that made the food of the country have gone hack to pasturage. The farmers simply cannot get the men to raise crops." It is by no means a bad idea to teach farming to some of the prospec tive unskilled laborers. As it is, in the east at any rate, tho farmer's hoy is apt to see his best chance in learn ing to be some sort of a mechanic. Skilled labor is everywhere needed. The problem for the boy of 14 or 15 who expects to work with his hands is to give him the skill to work to ad vantage. To that end tho experts in public education now advocate the es tablishment of trade schools to give a vocational training to children who now leave the public school at 14. Very well; the plan looks good. But please include farming in the voca tions for which training is to be given and try to make that look better as compared with the rival employments. Harper's Weekly. PROPER WAY TO DRIVE NAIL Expert Carpenter Gives Some Point- to This Seemingly Simple Proceeding. eii cu "It takes an apprentice a full year to learn that he does not know how to drive a nail," said an expert carpenter. "When once he has realized this it is only a matter of a few minutes to learn how it should be done. The commonest mistake is the belief that a hard blow with the hammer is more effective than several little taps, and the learner is inclined to admire the man who drives a nail all the way in with but one blow. This is where he is wrong; four or five blows are much better than one. The reason is that one hard blow inevitably makes the nail rebound, ever so slightly, it is true, but enough to make it hold less firmly than it would if driven in gradually. The nail may he driven almost all tho way with one blow, but several lighter taps are necessary to finish the job. "Another thing," continued the old carpenter, "the beginner generally tries to drive his nails as perpendicu larly as possible. This is another error, for a nail driven a little diagon ally holds tho parts together much more firmly than one driven perpen dicularly. And in driving a nail diagonally it is even more necessary to proceed with gentle taps, for hard blows inevitably displace the surfaces j that are to he held together."

Queen Alexandra of Engiaud is cred ited with having been tho means of emancipating English and American children from many foolish and un comfortable fashions. At the time of her marriage to the heir of the English throne children in fashionable families were rarely seen outside of their nurs eries, but when the young Danish prin cess began to keep her children about her and to have her picture taken holding them in her arms the fashion changed and devoted motherhood be came the hallmark of American and English smartness. She also had her sons clothed in comfortable sailor suits and her two daughters, the pres ent queen of Norway and the Princess Victoria, were allowed to wear the loose woolen jerseys which are now bo much worn by schoolgirls.
