Tuesday morn ing he left his farm place for the meadow to get a load of hay. It is all supposi tion as to how the accident happened but this much is quite evident. After loading the hay he started for home. Just before driving out of the meadow on the main road, he had to cross a small ditch covered over with a few broken plank, whether anything occur red then or not is not known but by fol lowing the wagon track it could be seen that the team made the road nil right and turned in the direction of home; a few bunches of hay were found along the road and the lifeless body of Mr. Bowie was found in the ditch beside the road. Louis Funk, who was plowing about a quarter of a mile away noticed the team running wild around the fields and went to investigate and found Mr. Bowie. It will probably never be known how the accident occurred. CEKTKAI. CITY. From tho Nonpareil. C. E. Woods returned the first of the week from Bock Island, Illinois, follow ing a conple of weeks' visit there with relatives. His mother, who accompa nied him, tarried for a longer visit.

Accompanied by his brother John and an old gentlemen to whom they were showing land, Alex Lyon was returning in his auto from a trip to Hordville Tuesday and while coming westward past the Clayton farm southeast of town ran off of the embankment near a small bridge. The machine overturned and the three occupants were thrown into a deep mudhole that lies on the south side ot tho road . Alex was caught un der the car, the steering post pinning him down. His head was buried in the mud and water and it is likely that his death was caused by suffocation. Bar ring a few bruises the other two passen gers were not injured jib they were sit ting iu the rear seat and were thrown clear of the auto when it went over. The section men working on the Union Pacilic about fifty rods distant saw the accident and hurried over. With their assistance the car was lifted 60 that the body could be taken out. It was pro bably fifteen or twenty minutes before this could be done and Mr. Lyon was dead when extricated. Dr. E. A. Ben ton was summoned, however, and he arrived in an auto in abont thirty min utes but too late to be of any help. The body was placed in the Myers auto and brought to Kombrink's undertaking rooms.

This year the town is located in one township and will get credit for every inhabitant in the village, and a much better showing will be made. E. B. Kelley of Madison, 8. D., arrived Wednesday evening for a short visit with relatives. Ed still holds his residence is South Dakota, bnt during the winter his family has been in Fremont where the children are attending school.

The Monroe bridge project looks bet ter every day, and interest in the success of the enterprise grows. Loup town ship farmers have responded liberally, and it it practically ussured that the amount required by subscription will be raised. The bridge not only means much to Monroe and surrounding territory, but it will be a convenience for everyone. And it is generally conceded by all that this locality is entitled to it, as between Genoa and Columbus is probably the longest stretch on the river withont it bridge. Miss Lillian Bennett, who was elected as principal of the Monroe schools for the coming year, tendered her resigna tion to the board of education at their meeting Monday evening. Miss Ben nett does not intend to be in school work the coming year, otherwise she would have accepted the position tendered her by the board.

The board has other applications for the principalsbip, bnt so far have not con sidered any of them. FDLIiEKTON. From the Nows-Journal. Mrs. .1. W.

Don't get the chills till you get your feet wet; think we'll have plenty of frnit all right, all right. A story is told that in a neighboring town recently, when the contribution plate was passed in a certain church 6omeone dropped in a slip of paper on which was written, "Good for one pair of suspenders." For a long time the minister was puzzeled, bnt finally woke up to the situation, and translated it as meaning "for bis support." The citizens of any prosperous town are always public spirited and united. Stand together, work in the interest of the whole town. Al way stand ready and do your part.- Don't grumble and spend your time in prophesying failures, but help to make every enterprise a success, be it great or small. Be energetic and enterprising and your example will be imitated. John Nickelson, a special agent for the W. O. W. lodge, in Nebraska, and who made Fullerton his headquarters the past month, was violently taken with an attack of appendicitis about two weeks ago. All the medical aid possible was given him but of no avail. He was later taken to the Columbus hospital but died before the operation was made. His remains were taken to Springfield for interment. They tell a good one on a certain yonng man here in town who was re cently out of town on a visit, and on his way home picked up a time table at Co lumbus and studied it all the way up the line trying to find out what time he would get into Fullerton. When asked if he had any trouble making connec tions he said no, but he would like to see the person who could find Fullerton in that blamed timetable. On drawing it from his pocket he disclosed a "Bur lington Route" leaflet, and you can im agine the wise look that came over his face when informed that Fullerton was on the U. P. The Thing That Puzzled the Patient. "You may be thaukful for your ex cellent constitution. It has pulled you through uiauy a spell of sickness."

LUEKE & MULLIGAN Proprietors Sanitary Plumbing Steam and Hot Water Heating 13th and M Streets Columbus, Nebraska Sea Rules ef the Read. On the sea it Is even more lmportaat than on land that there should be well defined rules of the road. While there are "ocean lanes," vessels do not move along well marked lines, like railway trains. They cross and recross each other's tracks. Moreover, there Is no air brake which can halt an ocean steamer within a few yards. Rules of the road at sea are based upon com mon sense aud experience. In general, when two vessels under steam are meeting each other end on they follow the same rules as with us with vehi cles t hat is. eacff steers to the star board or right. One short blast from the ship's whistle means that she Is taking the starboard course, two blasts meau that she Is taking her course to port, three that she Is going full speed astern. Should there be risk of col lision between a steam vessel and a sailing vessel it Is the duty of the steam vessel as the more manageable to keep out of the way of the other. For the same reason a sailing ship which Is running free is required to keep out of the way of one which Is running close hauled. TraveL He Knew Them. A minister, the father of alx-year-old twin boys, was obliged to send ono from the table for misbehavior. The little fellow was sitting crestfallen on a chair in an adjoining room when the maid entered. Upon spying him she said. "Ob, Blllie, I'd be ashamed to be sent away from the table, aa big a boy as you are too." Billle. with flashing eyes, drew him self up, saying, "Well, you wouldn't If you'd known this family aa long as I have." Delineator. Getting the Rings Mixed. "One ring for bellboy, two rings for chambermaid," read a hotel guest from the printed card hanging in his room. lie pressed the button, and the maid appeared. "I don't want you," said the guest "I rang once twice." "Ob," replied the maid, "I thought you rang twice once." New York American.

Mrs. Labbes, grandmother of Garret Labbeo, died st Garret's home, six miles northeast of Platte Caster on Wednes day, ot dropsy, in the eighty.first year ot her age. The six weeks-old baby of Mr. and Mis. Mst Soails, living at St. Anthony, died laat Sunday morning;. When the psxeata arose in the morning the child was apparently all right, but a abort time after when ita mother went to take it up it was lifeless. No cause can be gives, unless by some disarrangement of the bed olothee it was smothered. It has bean many years since this sec tion was visited by a wind and dust storm as severe ss that of laat Saturday. Ths wiad came from the northwest and was freecing cold. As the sun went down ths wind died snd a severs freeze resulted. It hops was entsrtsiasd that any ot ths fruit buds or blossoms had lived through the freeze ot the week be fore, this one convinced them that the wreck had been complete. Moaday the Glodowski brothers re oeived a 'phone message that their fath er, who lives in Dodge, snd who hss bees sick for several days, was muoh worse, so they procured Frank Belly's auto, with Heary Stems to dtive it, snd sboat 6:30 Frank, John and Tony start sd for Dodge, arriving in two and a half hours, a distance ot 46 miles. They found their father so much better that they all cams back next morning. A Special Offer. The big daily papers find it necessary and profitable to keep increasing their subscription list, and one of the fa-test growers is the Lincoln StutH Journal. This splendid state daily has jiwt open ed up another bigsnbscripiion otmp'iign offering the paper to Jan. 1. 1911 f t on ly $2; with Sunday 82.50. This ncinl rats will bring the business. The Jour nal has s way ot ita own cutting out a lot of expensive methods of getting sub scribers snd making the low rate to ita readers direct The people of the state as never before are looking to The Journ al for the real doings in the state. It is building up its business through relia bility and enterprise, especially in cover ing the atate news . Another good thing about The Journal is its policy of stoppiag every paper when the time is up. It you don't pay for it you don't get it Md when you do pay for it you are only paying for your own paper, not helping to pay for the one sent to some deadbeat. You will like the cleancut methods of The Journal people. A Startling Comparison. In silent absorption they consumed delicious cherry pie. "James," said the hostess to the but ler, "save all the cherry stones, please. Wash and dry them and put them on a shelf In the attic." "Why," a guest Inquired, "do you save cherry stones?" "You never saw them burn," said the hostess, "or you wouldn't ask that question. All winter long I keep a cop per Jar of them on the drawing room hearth. As the fire burns up I stoop and throw a handful of the cherry stones in the blaze. The effect Is won derful. The stones crackle and send forth delicate green flames, and puffs of exquisite odor, an odor as sweet as cherry blossoms, float through the room." "There's sandalwood," began another guest "On," said the hostess, "I use san dalwood, too, but It compares to cher ry stones In fragrance as Ilmburger cheese compares to heliotrope." Min neapolis Journal. An Embarrassing Question. Mrs. Monroe was carefully explain ing to her small daughter Margaret what she must do that evening. Com pany would be there for dinner, and Margaret was going to be allowed the privilege of sitting at the table. She listened very attentively and faithfully promised to obey. During the first part of the meal she never spoke, but remained quiet snd thoughtful, but it seemed a long time to her before the dessert came. Finally a large dish was placed near her of which the con tents looked most appetizing. For some time she gazed at It snd when no longer able to resist the temptation she reached over and put her dainty finger deep into the jelly and cream, then licked her finger and continued to smack her lips with great satisfac tion. Before the mortified mother could say anything Margaret remarked: "Say, mamma. Is this the jelly which the cat licked the cream off of and you said It didn't matter, there was more cream?" Los Angeles Times. Origin of Heraldry. According to the highest authorities, heraldry finds Its starting point in the totemlsm of prehistoric man. In the barbaric custom of painting or carv ing the totem on oars, the bows and sides of canoes, weapons, pillars In front of houses, etc., snd In tattooing it on the various parts of the body, we have the real origin of the Insignia that are so precious to the upper tendom of today. It was In the ig norant superstition of the savages that he sprang from a crane or a bear or some other animal that the various "costs of arms" of the "big families" of the present time found their Incep tion.

Tommy was a fairly good pupil ex cept In arithmetic.

"Dunno. teacher." "Does any one assist you with your arithmetic at home? Now, be truth ful r "Yes, sir. father." "What does your father do for a liv ing?' "He's a waiter, air."

HLs biographer' says that the amount of coffee be drank was "fabu lous." and one can well believe It The effect on his once fine constitution was deplorable. His face shriveled and turned yellow, his lips became black, and with the Inevitable breakdown of his nervous system his genius fell rap Idly Into premature decay. t THE JOURNAL vmmz w Go Out Intp The Union Pacific Country Where there are greater opportunities and less com petition; where nature is generous in both climate and soil It is in this section that thousands will find homes in the next few years.
