''When is Merrick county going to
have a new court housoV" asked a citizen
of the Nonpareil reporter the other day.
Not having the data at hand the reporter
was unable to answer the question. Per
haps it will bo when all of us own auto
molules and when the present building is
nothing but a hole in the ground. The
reporter is trying to be conservative in
this prophecy, but for fear that some
may think him overly confident he will
add that it may not be as soon as that.

About the first thing that comes to
our gardens in spring is the rhubarb. It
should be used more freely than it i?,
because of its medicinal qualities. It is
claimed that it not only aids digestion,
hut is a foe to rheumatism and gout,
neutralizing the uric acid in the system.
Because of its health giving qualities, it
is aid to the complexion when freely
eaten. There are many ways of serving
it, and housewives should nvil themsel
ves of receipts, and study out others for
themselves.
The term "old maid" is fast dying out
of use. Instead we hear the more ela
borate title "Bachelor Girl" used in
speaking of girls who have left the lux
uriant bowers of girlhood nnd are just
emerging into womanhood. We do not
hear of "the sour old maids," hut in
stead the "dear bachelor girls." The
young men ascertain that she is just
the one to go to when they are in trou
ble. The girls claim ber as their "big
sister." Her life is one of beauty, one
of devoted consecration to the right.
Hope links her to the future and mem
ory to the past.

Wife Whj. John, just m-c what :i
stupid blunder the newspaper has
made in its account of our silver wed
ding! Don't you remember I wrote It
out for the reporter that we had spent
together twenty-five years of married
happiness, and the stupid typesetter
has gone and made it twenty-five years
of marred happiness. Isn't it awful?

George Burrows and Will Bacon spear
ed over a hundred pounds of carp in
8hell creek Sunday. They were nice
large ones too, one of them weighing
fifteen pounds.
And we hear the complaint that great
damage has been done to alfalfa fields
during the winter. Probably the same
conditions that ruined the wheat worked
upon the alfalfa.
There is no longer a doubt that the
greater part of the winter wheat in this
locality is dead. Occasionally will a
small spot be found which is alive, but
not enough to warrant its being allowed
to stand.
The base ball season has been opened
to a certain extent in these parts. Jas.

northeast of town.

Joseph's hospital at that place, where
she will receive medical treatment for a
time.
Between seven and eight o'clock Wed
nesday evening W. P. Schelp, who was
nut with his auto, discovered that the
bridge across Shell creek, south of
Zingg'a slaughter house was on Ore.
He ran back to town andgave the alarm.
Fred Laun, Henry Sietns and Schelp,
with their autoe, rushed some fifteen
or twenty men down there, equipped
with buckets, and as there was plenty
of water in the creek, the fire was soon
quenched. The lire was on the south
west corner, and was started from a fire
that was used in burning rubbish in an
adjoining field. The bridge was damaged
to the extent of fifty dollars and has
been condemned until repairs can be
made.
A very serious accident happened in a
peculiar manner on Tuesday to an eigh
teen months old child of Mr. and Mm.
John Choban, living on the farm recent
ly occupied by Fred Michaelson, in
Grand Prairie township. A washing
machine was being run by a horsepower,
the power !eing connected to the mach

ed under the rod and its hair canght on
the rod and was twisted around in snob
a manner as to tear n large piece in the
scalp entirely off. Dr. Pugh who was
called to attend the child says that a
piece of the scalp larger than the palm
of his hand was torn off leaving the scalp
exposed. The piece was replaced and
stitched on in the hope that it wonld

can be determined whether this will be a

Monroe friends have received an
nnunrcments of the wedding of Miss
Edna II. Jencks, formerly of Monroe, and
John Theodore Kelsey of Zeal, S. D.
The wedding occurred Easter Sunday,
March 27. at the home of the bride's
parent?, near Zeal.
After a lingering illness of about six
months, Mrs. John Kelley passed away
at her home Wednrsduy morning. She
was stricken with polio tnyelits, and
that, with paralysip, caused her death.
Annie Cox was born in Lincolnshire,
England. May 15, 18T-S. As a girl she
came to Montreal, Canada, with her
parent?, in 1HGS Her borne was in Can
ada and New York until the fall of 1S7S,
when she cntne to Columbus. Here she
whs married to John M. Kelley, Novem
ber !, ISTit, and came to the old farm
northwest or Oconee and then to the
horn west of Monroe where she livttl
until about two years ago when they
moved into Monroe At an early age she
united with the Presbyterian churrb,
and bus been a member of the Monroe
church ever since its organization. Two
sons, William J. of St. Edward, and Les
ter of Fullerten, besides her husband,

Thursday afternoon at the Presbyterian
church, being conducted by I. Ligbtner
and burial was made in the Friends
cemetery. ,
Just before 5 o'clock Wednesday the
Union Pacific depot took fire from an
unknown cause and in a few minutes the
roof was a mass of llamee. With the
heavy wind blowing from the south,
and the depot being situated south of
the main part of town, it looked for a
time as though it wonld be a heavy loss.
But thanks to the water works and the
fire company, plenty of water was avail
able and the boys soon had two streams
pla ing on the flames. It took but a few
minutes to get the fire under control,
and it was not even necessary to throw
water on the hotel bnilding. The fire
started inside of the bnilding and burned
through the roof, when it whs discov
ered, nnd the main damage was to the
roof and also to the interior by water.
When the blaze started Agent Ledbetter
was up in town collecting freight bills.
What might have resulted if there had
been no fire protection is not pleasant to
contemplate, but as this is the first fire
since the water plant was installed,
everyone feels that it has more than
paid for its cost in protection.

From the World.
Last week Henry Barjenbrnck closed J
a deal whereby he sold to Wm. Brunken
40 acres of the Korte land, northwest of
town, for $125 per acre. The land con
tains no improvements whatever, not
even a fence.
We were informed by a man who has
80 acres of winter wheat (which looked
as nice as any we ever saw, last fall)
that the cold weather damaged it to a
very great extent and when it was covered
deeply with snow it literally rotted.
Others who sowed later say there will not
be half a stand.
The remains of Mrs. Eoline Johnson,
who passed away in an Omaha hospital
on Wednesday of last week, were brought
to this place on Thursday evening and
funeral services were conducted at the
Congregational church on Saturday af
ternoon, Rev. H. J. Sealey officiating.
Interment was made in the Leigh ceme
tery. V. S. Schurr went to Colnmbus last
Friday and on his return home. Sunday
he was accompanied by his wife who has
spent several months in a hospital at
that place. Dr. Evans and a trained
nurse came over with them, the latter to
remain for a time to assist in the care of
Mrs. Scbnrr who is still very weak from
the operations which she has undergone.

Neglect or pessimism, wc believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to con
tend with when applied to the loss or
recovery of health. Practically every
case of consumption might have been
cured if hope bad been maintained and
proper treatment had been resorted to
at the first symptom of the disease. Un
til the advanced stage is reached con
sumption is curable. Catarrh is re
sponsible, we believe, for man cases.of
consumption. It is about catarrh we
want to talk to you Unlay, incidentally
consumption, since the two are so close
ly allied.
We have a medicine made from a pre
scription of one of the most (successful
catarrh specialists known. We believe
it is positively without an equal. We
re so satisfied that we are right, that
we will supply the medicine free in
every instance where it is used accord
ing to directions for a reasonable length
of time, should it full to give satisfaction
in every particular. Wewant every one
to try this medicine at our risk Th ere
are no conditions attached to our offer.
Wc pnt the user nnder no obligation to
us whatever.
The medicine we want yon to try is
Rexall Mucu-Tonc. It is a catarrh re
medy that goes direct to the scat of trou
ble. It is carried by the blood to every
part of the system. It purifies and en
riches th blood, tones up the mucons
cells, and brings about a condition of
health and strength that tends to prevent
the germs of consumption from getting
a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone
is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid
and llesh builder. Its good effects are
often felt from the very first dose. It is
one nf the largest and most satisfactory
selling medicines that we have ever bad
anything to do with.
We know so much of the great good
that it has done that wn personally back
it up with our reputation and money,
which fact should he ample guarantee to
satisfy anybody. Ilexall Mucu-Tone
comes in two sizes. 60 cents and $1.00.
We urge yon to try it. Remember you
can obtain Itexal remedies at Pollock t
Co's. drag store on the corner.

the average weight of which was 311

At the North opera house on Thursday
April 14 F. Lawrence Walker presents
Mr. Charles B. ilanford in the farcial
comedy ''The American Lord" by
George II Broailhurst and Charles T.
Dazey. Mr.Hanford is surrounded with
a large and efficient company with Mies
Marie Drofnah as his leading feminine
support. The story of the play is as
follows: The prinaipal personage is
John Brne.ster, hotel man and good fel
low. Bruester is an out-and-out Ameri
can. Ha well does he stand with bis fel
lows that the convention then in session
is likely to nominate him for congress
While his friends are yelling at the men
tion of his name he is notified that be is
the lineal descendant of Lord Brueater
and heir to the title and estates. The
entire thing is a joke to the old fellow.
What, give up congress and all that the
position meanB? Not on your life!
But the property is considerable, no
sane man would let it go by, and the re
sult is that much against his will Brae
stcr agrees to goto England and look
after his estates. His son falls in love
with a young English girl, .and be finds
himself, at this time of life, too, feeling
uneasy in the presence of a fine Irish
widow. The straightening out of all
these affairs is said to furnish many en
tertaining complications.

Sedan and Bath Chairs.
The sedan chair, so called from hav
ing been made at Sedan, in France,
was introduced Into England in the
time of King Charles I. Often this
chair was most ornate without nnd
luxurious within, for an ancient poet
speaks of one
Covered with velvet red.
And cloth of fine gold about your head.
With damask white and azure blue
Well diapered with lilies new.
Seated In their sedan chairs in all the
glory of paint, iiowder mid patches,
the liellcs and ladies of fashion of the
eighteenth century were- carried from
rout to rout by 'two stout lackeys In
livery. As nil people who love their
Dickens an- aware, these chnirs went
still In use In the days of the Pickwick
club.
The origin of the bath chair is
"wropt iu mystery. We are told
that it was "much used by the Inhab
itants of Bath." probably for the pur
pose nf getting tp and from the pump
room. Nowadays the use of the bath
chair Is con lined chiefly to invalids.
