Mrs. Anton Wiese and the younger

atives and friends. Mr. Wiese and his
two oldest sons went right through to
Lindsay and moved their goods and
stock out onto the farm near that place
which he recently purchased and the re
mainder of the family joined them on
Monday. They have been away from
Nebraska three years and there are
many who are pleased to welcome them

Wm . Taylor has won more than a lo
cal reputation as a breeder and feeder
of good sheep. His herd, while not
large, has been -carefully bred up and
when there are a car of lambs to be Bold
good prices are assured. For three suc
cessive years Mr. Taylor's lambs have
topped the South Omaha market. The
last shipment was sold on Thursday of
last week and they headed the list of
high-pried lambs sold that day. They
averaged 107 lbs. and sold for 88.50 per
hundred. With the profit that can be
derived from a good fiock of sheep it is
strange that so few of our farmers keep
them.

From the Saad
Monday last a littlssaeiteineot ensued
at the Wsmaley school house south of
the river when fire wae discovered in
the floor under the store. It was ex
tinguished without much damage and
repairs were made so as to exclude dan
ger from the same source in the future.
Last Saturday evening near Thummel
a stock car on the east bound train was
set on fire by a passing engine on anoth
er train. The car contained a load of
fat cattle and when the fire was discov
ered nothing could be done to stop it
and the cattle could not be released.
The train was run into Olarka where
guns were procured and about 13 head
were put out of their misery with bul
lets. The cattle were the property of
Ed Gould formerly of Follerton.
Monday evening Matt J. Harry and
others were waiting in the Union Pacific
depot for No. 21 on which he intended
going to Central City to attend a meet
ing of the county board the next day.
Hearing a train coming he started for
the north side of the track to be in a
position to board it as he supposed it
was 21 and would stop. Instead it prov
ed to be a fast train and he was unable
to clear it entirely, being struck and
hurled into the ditch. He was picked up
and taken to Dr. W. O. Robinson's
office when it was found that there was
a slight bruise on his head and that his
left arm was completely paralyzed from
the elbow down. The doctor could not
detect any fracture but the serious con
dition of the limb waa such that he took
Mr. Harry to Columbus to have the arm
examined under X-rays to determine. If
possible, just what the injury is. This is
the first serious accident that has happen
ed here since the double tracking of the
road, but the arrangements for boarding
trains is such that it is a wonder that
there have not been a hundred. It was
found upon examination that there was
a fracture of one of the bones of his arm
and Mr. Harry will remain at the hos
pital for treatment.

of town.
Gus Bartholemew, who has been
working in Columbns for the past two
months returned last week to be ready

a brotherly interest in the welfare of a
member by arranging for all of the mem
bers of the lodge to go to the home of
Fred Augustine Thursday of this week
and assist in gathering corn. Mr.
Augustine has been laid up all winter
with a broken leg, the result of a kick

While down on the farm last week
David Knerr made a discovery that may
be some value in the future. While in
the barn moving some hay in the mow
he found a nest of eggs that had been
covered up when the hay was pnt in
the barn last fall and he says that the
eggs were in a good state of preservation.
Hay storage egg, be thinks is a possi

HIS VERY WORDS.
The Property Man Cheerfully Quoted
Them to Beerbohm Tree.
Beerbobtr. Tree, the English actor,
bad a comical experience on his first
appearance as the corpulent Falstaff.
In the Inst act he had arranged that
Falstaff, disconcerted by gibes and
buffets of the fairies in Windsor for
est, should make one herculean effort
to climb the oak tree. The pegs that
were to serve as supports for that tree
were always conspicuous by their ab
sence. On the morning before the per
formance Mr. Tree was told they
should positively be fixed on the tree.
The morning came, but with It no pegs.
Eloquence was stifled; even Invective
faltered. He pointed to the tree and
with the calm of despair blurted out
to the defaulter, "No pegs!"
Such an ejaculation, spoken more In
sorrow than in anger, would, he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant of con
science which even the papier macho
bosom of a property man might be
supposed to retain. In the evening
there was a dress rehearsal, but still
no pegs could be seen. Mr. Tree's
form quivered beneath the padding
with pentup emotions, and in a torrent
of passion and a voice shaken by right
eous wrath he exclaimed:
"Where are those pegs?"
"Pegs pegs!" exclaimed the proper
ty master, with exasperating affability.
"Why, guv'nor, what was your words
to me this morning? 'No pegs.' And
there ain't none." London Tit-Bits.

of the stroke she had been in a very

there any hope other recovery.
The local minister's association held
an executive session Monday afternoon
in the wood yard of Aunty Keys. It
was a fine day and the pulpiteers con
cluded to trade their exegesis, and
their secondlys, thirdlys and their
texts for axes and water blisters. It
was a thrilling sight to see the valiant
hosts attack that wood pile and when
they got through chips were scattered
all over the second ward. Secretary
McMillan was appointed as score-keeper
but he lost count when he got hit in the
eye with a chip and the Nonpareil is un
able to furnish its readers with an
accurate list of the dead and wounded.

A farmer was driving through our
streets last Saturday afternoon when
one of the numerous long legged dogs
which roam around at will, leaped into
his wagon, picked up a good sized pack
age and disappeared down the alley
with it. As the dog'did not open the
package in the presence of those who
saw him swipe it, it is not known what it
contained. And probably Mr. Faimer
is still wondering what became of bis
package.
J. E. Gossairt arrived home from
Omaha Wednesday morning, where he
had been looking into the matter of
obtaining a site on the U. P. right of
way for the location of the flouring mill,
and this time he came back with the
document in his pocket. Early last fall
the contract for building the mill was
let and negotiations begun for permis
sion to locate it on the railroad right of
way. The company officials commenced
to unwind their red tape, and although
the mill company hurried them in every
manner they could, the unwinding is
just completed.
THERE'S NO RISK.
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit,
You Pay Nothing.
A physician who made a specialty of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia,
after years of study perfected the form
ula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads ub to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the re
lief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth
ing and healing to the inflamed mem
branes of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity for
a short time brings abont a cessation of
the pains caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro
mote nutrition. As evidence of our sin
cere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
we ask yon to try them at our risk. If
they do not give you entire satisfaction,
we will return you the money you paid
us for them, without question or form

25 cents, HO cents and $1.00. Remember

An lustaut later a brick whizzed

The Indignaut officer, followed by

Why Hale Would Not Do.
When X. O. Xelson. the profit sharer,
decided to trausfer his co-operative
busiuess from St Louis to the country
he looked about carefully for a favor
able location. His personal friend
Dr. Edward Everett Hale accom
panied him on one of bis tours In
search of this. A site was chosen, and
a name for It was then Id order.
Among others. Hale was considered,
but rejected because, as Mr. Xelson
said, "the name differs from Its dis
tinguished owner in being only four
letters loazr. while be was six feet four
or thereabouts." So Leclalre was
chosen in honor of the pioneer French

LAND CRABS.
Queer Creatures That Roam In For
ests Far From the Sea.
One of the commonest and the lar
gest of the Christmas Island land cmbs
Is the well known robber crab, which
Is found In most of the tropical islands
of the Iudian and Pacific oceans. It
sometimes reaches a length of two feet
and may measure seven inches across
the back. Its colors are of a very
gaudy description, the ground color be
ing a bright red, upon which there are
stripes of yellow, but In some cases a
purplish blue is the prevailing tint.
The eyes are fixed on stalks which
can be moved Independently, of one an
other, and there are two pairs of feel
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually jerked up and
down. There is a pair of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. Iu
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout lobsters
than crabs, and one's first encounter
with one of these creatures in the mid
dle of a forest far from the sea is pn
ductive of much astonishment ou both
sides.
Auotber species of land crab com
mon in Christmas Island is a little
bright red animal which in genera!
shape Is much like the common shore
crab. This variety makes burrows in
the ground, and In some places the
soil Is honeycombed with hundreds of
holes. The crabs spend most of their
time collecting dead leaves, which they
carry in their claws, holding them np
over their heads and drag down into
their burrows. Into which they scuttle
at the least alarm. Pearson's Maga

EARLY BALLOONING.
Some Odd Ideas That Prevailed In the
Eighteenth Century.
As far back as 1SH the American
public were led to believe that the
Atlantic had been crossed In a bal
loon. On May 2S in that year the
New York Sun published n detailed
account of an aerial voyage, from Liv
erpool to Charleston, which purported
to have been accomplished by "the
steering balloon Victoria In a iierlod of
seventy-live hours from land to land.1
Five columns were devoted to the de
scription of the journey and to a sci
entific account of the balloon, of
which a woodcut was given, and an
air of verisimilitude was added by a
list of eight passengers, one of the
names mentioned being that of Harri
son Ainsworth, who was then at the
height of his fame.
At the end of the eighteenth century
balloons -were all the rage. Then, as
now, enthusiasts predicted a time near
at hand when war would either be an
awful matter of the annihilation of
armies and forts by bombs from above
or would cease altogether through the
abolition of frontiers and the fusion
of nations. Prophecy went even fur
ther. Canals and roads were to vanish and
the space occupied by them to be re
stored to agriculture. And ships (If
any still existed) when caught In a
storm would be grappled by the mast
from balloons above and safely con
veyed into port or even carried over
mountain ranges. Chicago News.
