at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joa.
Anaelme in this city for several weeks
past, died Monday evening May lfi at

14 days. We Bay he was lying ill, and
yet he was not ill; he had simply lived
his alloted years; the machinery of his
body refused to perform their proper
functions, and he slept away without
pain or suffering. "Papa" Breuning, as
he was familiarly called, had a friend in
even body who enjoyed his acquaintan
ce. A big unruly horse came near putting
Mike Paprocki out of commission last
Friday, and as a result Mike has a pretty
sore head and various other bruises
about his body. He was shoeing one of
Jos. Fnngmnn's oil wagon horses, and by
resson of n very sore knee while it had
been treated by a horse doctor for some
time until the horse was apparently
driven to madness by the painful treat
ment, it attempted to take out some of
its vengeance on the horseshoer. Mike
had put on the shoes and wns down
clinching the nails, when the horse sud
denly whirled and gave Mike a terrific
kick, landing him in a heap up in one
corner of the shop. Dr. Mnldoon took a
number of stitches in Mike's bead and
ndmiuister d to the bruises on different
parts of hi body, anil up to date he is
getting along nicely, nnd thanking his
luck stars that he is no worse off.

Very few people are alive today who
can remember seeing Hn'dey's comet
seventy-five years ago Mrs. Magnnnsoti.
mother of Oliver Maguunson, is !W years
old, and was IS at the last previous
appearance of the comet. She was liv
ing in Norway at the time and talks
entertainingly of the excitement that the
heavenly visitor created as it approached
the earth. She remembers a shower of
fctars that fell in her girlbcod days, but
whether it was before, after, or at the
time the comet appeared, she cannot
now recall. She says that the comet
was much brightersei'enty-tive years ago
than it appears to ho today. Another
agetl eitiz-n who saw the- comet seventy
five years ago is the venerable Gus Suth
erland, who was born in lS20,in Sweden.
He, too, recalls the excitement that the
comet ereated throughout Europe

Three or four weeks ago Nels Larson
placed a case in his wagon containing
several dozen eggs with the intention of
bringing them to town. Hib little son.
Mike, wanted to accompany him, but the
father refused to take him along. When
Nels reached Genoa and lifted the case
out of the wagon, it appeared very light,
and an investigation revealed that the
case wns empty every egg had been
removed. Nels was hot, and the lan
guage he used would have caused a
canal mule to blush with shame. He
was satisfied that Mike had taken the
eggs, and he made up his mind to teach
the kid a lesson when he returned home.
Mike was not there to open the gate
when the father reached the farm. The
hoy had disappeared, for he knew he had
something coming when the old man got
back. The boy's parents could find no
trace of him uutil this week. Tuesday
morning, while cleaning nut the .stable,
Nels heard a chirping in the manure
pile; after investigating found that the
heat had hatched out eighty-four young
chicks from the eggs Mike had placed
there the day his father went to town
three weeks ago. The same clay the
chickens were discovered a letter wns
received from a mau living near Oconee,
stating that Mike was there anil would
return home Wednesday. When Mike
skipped out he made up his mind to go
to Sweden, but as he was a tritle hy of

HOWELLS
From the Journal.
One day last week Ed Arnold market
ed three hogs at Olarkaon, the combined
weight of which was 1290 pounds and
for which be received $113 87.
Last week Jos, Fojar, who recently
sold hU 200 acre farm north of town.
purchased a quarter-section place near
Dcdge and paid 8175 an acre for it.
Out at the Joj. R. Novok place, two
miles south of town, they are in the
poultry business on quite a large scale.
Although it is only the opening of the
season, still they have more than seven
hundred chicks, most of which were
batched in an incubator.
"Prienda at this place will be grieved
to learn of the death of Boxy Fisher,
who formerly lived here Last Septem
ber she was nnited in marriage to a ban
ker of Boise, Idaho, whoe name we have
been nnable to learn. The details of
the sndden death are meager, hut, as
near as we ean determine, she under
went an operation for nppendicitis on
Thursday of last week and died from
the effects of the operation last Satur
day." After an absence of forty years from
the land of his birth, F. .1. Busch em
harked Saturday on the Bteamer, Kaiser
in Augusta Victoria, for a trip to Ger
many to view the scenes of his childhood
days. He will, no doubt, see vast chan
ges, but will enjoy to the utmost the
visit with his sister and her family, and
other relatives who reside there. He
left here on Tuesdey morning, accom
pained by his daughter. Miss Carrie, and
they expect to be gone four months.
SILVKH CHEEK.
From the Sand
P. U. Bell cabled from Liverpool,
England, that be and his family landed
on British soil Saturday last and they
had a tine trip across the water and
were all well.
W. U. Hartford nnd MifH Valeria Koz
lowski were mariied at Duncan last
Tuesday at SiV) a in They left on the
noon train for Not folk. On their return
it is understood that Mr. Hartford will
engage in biiMni sa with his wife'a father.
Mrs. Waller Adcock was called to Co
lumbna Sunday and on Monday, accom
panied by Lester (.Sates and Mr. Adcock's
mother, took her husband to an Omaha
hospital where he is nniKr the care of a
specialist. Mr. Adcock seems to be im
proving right along.
G. W. Hagen of Topeks, KanBa, one
of the Platte river btidge gang nt this
place, had a sudden, unexpected and
perilous ride last Friday. He was stand
ing on top of the pile driver, which is 3fi
feet high besides what it sett on, when it
broke in twain and fell over in the river.
Mr. Hagen was so entangled in the guy
ropes that he could not jump clear of
the structure, but managed to free him
self so that he fell into the water clear
of it and was not injured beyond a few
bruises. The water wns about four feet
deep at the place he fell, but he was res
cued without difficulty. The accident
caused a diday in the construction of
the bridge.
The Crows and tha Snake.
"Strolling in Burma one day," says a
writer iu the Loudon Field, "I came to
a ditch bridge, and about ten yards off
there wns a mass of black soft mud
caused by buffaloes rolling. On the
bridge was a small brown snake about
two feet In length. This snake Is an
ordinary jungle Inhabitant and Is very
venomous. Surrounding him were a
mob of some dozen crows. Whenever
the sunke attempted to escape the
nearest bird would jump In and jerk It
back by the tail. The crows generally
kept just out of the snake's reach, but
on three separate occasions the birds
were struck.
"Immediately on being bitten a crow
flew over to the wet mud nnd swal
lowed three or four mouthfuls with
out a pause. It then perched up in a
tree nnd took no further part In the
fight. The Incident ended In the snake
escaping between the planks of the
bridge. What Interests me Is why did
the stricken birds cat the mud? Was
It taken as a kind of antidote or what
was the reason?"
The Rainbow.
When a ray of sunlight falls on a
raindrop It Is refracted; then part of
the light Is reflected from the internal
surface and again refracted on leaving
the drop. The white sunlight Is not
only refracted when It enters and
leaves the drop, but dispersion also
takes place. The eye sees bright cir
cles of light for each kind of light, nnd
since sunlight Is made up of different
kinds of homogeneous light we get a
series of circular arcs showing the
spectrum colors, the red being outside
and the other colors following In the
order of descending wave length. The
whole constitutes a primary rainbow.
A secondary bow is sometimes seen
outside the first. This is formed by
the light being twice reflected Inside
the raindrops. The less refrangible
rays are on the inner side. Rainbows
due to still more internal reflections
are too feeble to be observed. It is
possible to get a white rainbow If the
sun is clouded or if there is a mixture
of raindrops of very different sizes.
Male Fashions In 1850.
Male fashions of 1S50 bad other dis
comforts besides long hair. Trousers
were tight and buttoned under the foot
with broad straps. Every man who
aspired to be well dressed wore bis
coat so high In the collar that the
back of the bat rested on It This
fashion was so prevalent that, accord
ing to Sir Algernon West, "every hat
had a crescent of cloth on the back of
the brim to prevent the rubbing of the
beaver or imitation beaver of which
the bat was made, for silk hats were
not then invented." And from the
same authority we learn that "opera
hats were unknown, and in the even
ing a folding cbaneau bras was al
ways carried under the arm. Nobody
but an apothecary or a solicitor would
have dreamed of leaving his bat in
the hall of the house where he was
calling or dining." London Chronicle.
