drove on a sliding place, the box slipped
otf the sled and Uay and the hogs were
dumped promiscuously into the ditch.
The horees ran into town and vrere

Kay extracted himself from the mass of
kicking and squealing swine, surround
ed the bunch and drove them in to
market without the loss of a single hog.

machine man, was sent here by the com

future custodians into the mysteries of
keeping it good natured. It is now re
ported to be doing excellent work-and
will take 500 bushels of corn from the

than probable that there will be more of

by Gerd Bruns traded his forty acre
farm just south of town to George Nitz
for the letter's eighty acre farm and S400.
Mr. Nitz'a farm was rated at $95 per
acre and this makes $200 per acre for
the Bruns farm which is the highest
price paid so far for land anywhere in
this section of the state.
Otto liittleman, living west of here,

ST. BDWAKD
From the Ad trace.

ChieuRo hits been at the bedside for
nearly a week, Mr. and Mrs. Jack WeBt

day, and the other children are being
constantly informed as to their mother's
condition.
James Vissard is reported to be very
ill, and Miss Stella Parrott of Albion, a
trained nurse.-was called to the bedside
Wednesday afternoon. Some months
ago Mr. Vizzard underwent an operation
at an Omaha hospital and his health
gradually iirproved after his return
home. It was hoped by his many
friends that he would again recover his
strong vigorous health, but his present
condition is far from promising.

Mr. nnd Mrs. George Scheidel, sr., Mr.

Adolph Siebler, who went to Crowley,
Louisiana, some thirty days before,
arrived home last Thursday evening.
They found unusually severe winter con
ditions there, same as they left here, ice
un inch thick having formed at one
time. They all came back better than
ever satisfied -with Nebraska.
Since the lamps were placed on our
streets last summer there have been sev
eral of the globes broken, and it is a fact
beyond question that they were broken
by a missel thrown at them. These
globes cost two dollars each, and why
any one should destroy them is a mys
tery. Whether it is being done by some
malicious man or by a mischevious boy
it would be a source of great satisfaction
to catch them in the act.
t
HUWHRKT.
From the Democrat
John Wegener who baa lived north
west of town for several years, shipped
his property to Kimball county Tuesday
night where he expects to make bis fu
ture home.
Mike and Vinceat Weaser and Ferd
Fuchs left Wednesday for Durand, Wis
consin for a few days visit with friends

tent. WaltGebr had so far recovered from

was taken to his bed again, and now the
doctors say he has typhoid fever.

From the Loader.
George Smith who left here two years
ago and was reported lost in a storm in
Canada last fall, is alive and well. He
is a member of the Modern Woodmen
camp of Genoa and pays his assesments
here In some manner it was reported
that it was II. .Taney Smith who was
sendimr monev to the camp clerk to
nay assessments. The latter fell over
board from a battleship last fall and
was drowned.
S. J. Ellis was one of General Lees'
fighting veterans during the War be
tween the States. He belonged to a
famous North Carolina regiment known
as "The Tarheel Terrors." Mr. Ellis
was wounded on the firing line at Getts
bnrg, but managed to crawl back to the
rear after Pickett had been repulsed and
Was with the retreating army when Lee
crossed the line into Virginia. On that
memorable night in Ma, lftKi, Mr. Ellis
was on the skirmish line at Chancellor-
ville wheu General Stonewall Jackson
was shot and killed by his own men who
mistook his staff for a 6quad of Federal
cavalry. It has been twenty-five years
since Mr. Ellis visited the scenes of his
old home and he has made up his miud
to return once more to the scenes of his
soldier days and pay tne bauienelci a
farewell visit before joining the veterans
of the blue and the grav who have pass
ed to that land where the drum beat of
war is never heard and the bugle call to
arms is forever silent.
MONROE.
From the Republican.
Roy Percy of Colby, Kansas, is visiting
relatives on the route.
The thaw of Wednesday started some
of the farmers husking corn.
John Kyle and his daughter of Dun
can were Monroe visitors Wednesday.
Ernest VanAllen is driving school
wagon for his father, who is slowly re
covering from his recent illness.
Supervisors Will Thomas and Dewey
Hughes were opening up the big cut.
south of Postville, Wednesday, that has
been full of snow for over a month.
On account of the unusual snow fall
this winter, there arc a number who pre
dict big Hoods when the spring thaw
comes. And the ice in the river is as
heavy, if not heavier than on years
when there were floods.
Farmers are now hauling their grain
to market attracted particularly by the
high prices for corn and wheat. Not
half the corn has been picked and the
spring promises to be a very busy sea
son for farmers about here.
While the ice was heavy enough to hold
the loads, a large amount of grain from
the south side of the river was marketed
in Monroe. And our merchants, as well
as the grain men, were benefited, as
many of those hauling did their trading
here.
Ed Fox, who has been farming the
Webster home place for the last few
years, is going to move to near Valparai
so, Neb., where he has bought a place
and will make his home. During the
first part of February he will have a sale
and dispose of bis horses, cattle and
farm machinery.
were sold at $200 per acre and upward.
They show that in several counties
farms were sold at aa high a figure aa
9150 per acre. When it is remembered
that ten years ago $100 an acre was un
known in this state something of the in
crease in land values will be appreciated.
It will be seen by this "brief summary
that Nebraska for 1909 passes into his
tory with a record of which every citizen
can well be proud. It has been a year
so bountiful and prosperous that when
we come to look at it from a statistical
point of view the record is fairly over
whelming. BKTjIiWOOD,
From the Gazette.
Vincent Bock and "better half" moved
to Columbus this week, where they
have purchased s handsome residence
and hereafter will make it their home.
Mr. and Mis. Bock take with them the
well wishes of everybody in this com
munity. Saloon or no saloon for 1910 is already
the news of the day in many cities and
villages. Figures show that during the
past year the consumption of beer in the
United States has fell off about one
fourth of the previous year, while the
consumption of whisky has almost
doubled. Of the two evils we choose
the beer.
The days are now lengthening from
both ends. When they first begin to
lengthen the increased amount of day
light comes in the 'afternoon. For
about two weeks after the shortest day of
the year the amount of daylight in the
forenoon does not increase, though the
afternoons begin to lengthen early in
December, even before the days have
reached their shortest length. The
cause of the days lengthening in the af
ternoons and not in the forenoons after
the shortest day is reached is due to the
fact that time is kept by fictitious sun,
which crosses the meridian sometimes
before and sometimes after the real sun.
while sunrise and sunset are governed
by the motions of the real Bun. The
effect of this is that noon docs not al
ways come half way between sunsise and
sunset.
ALBION.
From tho News.
J. L. Howell says he broke the record
of the Albion hog market last Friday.
He bought seventeen hogs of Paul
Briese for which be gave him a check
for $613.60, an average of $36.09 pei head.
The way it is ordinarily figured, that
amount of pork can be produced for less
than $300 actual cost. Three hundred
per cent profit ought to satisfy anyone,
and ought to attract many more people
"back to the land." There is nothing so
sure, so satisfying, as agriculture. At
the worst one can always make a good
living and during such time as we have
had for the past few yeaaa, there is no
business to be compared with it for
making money.
In -'the year 1909 the land values of
this state made rapid advance to new
high figures. During the last twelve
months there have, been over twelve
hundred sales of farms located in near
ly every county in the state recorded in
the columns of the Lincoln Trade Re
view from week to week. This record
shows that in forty-five counties lands

The Hypocrite a Genius.
Really to be a hypocrite must re
quire a horrible streugth of character.
Au ordinary man such as you or I gen
erally fails at last because be has not
enough energy to be a man. But the
hypocrite must have enough energy to
be two men. It is said that a liar
should have a good memory. But a
hypocrite must have not only a good
memory of the past, but a consistent
and creative vision or the future; bis
unreal self must be so far real to him
The perfect hypocrite should be a trin
ity of artistic talent. He must be a
novelist like DIckeus to create a false
character. He must be an actor like
Garrick to act it. And he must be a
business man like Carnegie to proUt
by it Such a genius would not b
easy to find in any country. G. K.
Chesterton.
Good Advice Regarding the Pre
vention of Coughs and Colds.
If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority of
cases of conghe, colds and pneumonia
might bo Bvoided. These troubles are
frequently due to weakness, which pro
duces a catarrhal condition or the muc
ous membrane, which is an internal
akin of the body. When this skin is
weakened it becomes easily infected with
germs which cause many of the diseases
to which flesh" is hoir. Healthy mucous
membranes are essential safeguards of
the body's general health.
An excellent aid in the prevention of
coughs, cold, pneumonia, and such like
infection diseases, is a remedy that will
prevent or cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we honestly
believe to be unsurpassed in excellence
for the prevention of coughs, colds and
nil catarrhal conditions. It is the pre
scription of a famous physician, who has
an enviable reputation of thirty years of
cures sained through the use of this for
mula. We promise to make no charge
for the medicine should it Ml to do-as
we claim. We urge every uouy wno nas
need of such a medicino to try Rexall
Jfucn-Tone.
It stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements nnd give
onr own personal guarantee to this rem
edy if Ae were not prepared to prove
the reasonableness of our ciuim in every
pirticular, and we see no reason why
one should hesitate to accept our offer
and try it. We have two sizes of Kexall
Muco-Tone, prices 50 cents and 41 00.
Sometimes a CO-cenf bottle is sufficient
to give marked relief. Ab a general
thing the most chronic case is relieved
with an average ol inree rotuee. iu
