Adam I ekes departed Monday for the home of his boyhood ilajs in southern Pennsylvania. It Una been twenty-three vears since he left his old home town, and he anticipates having an enjoyable visit.

The many friends of Thomas ICozial were shocked to hear of his untimely death which occurred last Monday on the farm of his employer near Osceola. He was diiving a nix horse team hitched to a gang plow and it seema that while he was trying to detach them from the plow the horses became unmanageable and he was caught in the machine and was horribly mangled, lie only lived about fifteen minutes after the accident occurred. Thomas was a resilient of the Island in Polk county where he has many relatives. He was n young man of about twenty-one years of age, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was buried at Duncan Wednesday in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Joseph I.iseo fur nished us with this information as he was an attendant at the funeral. lirMl'IIKKV.

There :ip peared to be a Haw in the cylinder of the engine which Tailed to stand the ex plosion or the gas. the top of the cylind er breaking ami Hying off struck Mr. Matya on the hip and knocking him down, and it is thought that the muttier which was abo dislodged from the en 'ine struck him on the leg breaking it between the knee and hip. This is a most unfortunate accident to Mr. Matya as his other leg is crippled and it will be a long time before he will be able to get around. m:i,i.wooo. From tht;itz'tlt'.

Last yenr Mr. Wolf imported about twenty horses and most of thope were bought by lioono eonnty farmers and it is to be hoped that the farmers of this county will tako advantage of this opportunity to secure high grade horses. It is probable that within ii few years this will become one or the most important importing centers in the country. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. lloberls came very near being asphyxiated Saturday night Mrs.' Roberts awoke about two o'clock and noticing that the gas light was llick ering. she got up and turned it off and noticed that she was not feeling right. She told Mr. Roberts that she was not well and then returned to bed. Then her head began to feel bad and about the same time Mr. Roberts complained of his head. He got up and opened a window and then went out in the kitchen to open the door. Mrs. Roberts followed him MONROE. From the Republican.

Prof. John Englenmn n gradunte of Kearney Normal school, was employed as principal of the Monroe schools by the board of education nt their meeting last Friday evening.

FICTITIOUS HEHQItiE , APPEARSjN THE FLESH Novelist Kramer, the Chautauqua Lec turer, Tells of Receiving In teresting Letters. "What do you find to he the most universal idea with people who dis cuss vour b-ioks with you?" was asked of Harold .Morton Kramer, author of The Chrysalis." "The Castle of Dawn." "Hearts and the Cross." etc. "Of course the question does not mean as to the opinions they express regard ing vour novels." "I think I understand you." replied the novelist, "and I feel perfectly safe in saying at once that the most uni versal idea they express is that they have themes for great novels, and they are willing to suggest them to inc. They generally express it about like this: " Well. sir. I can relate to you some incidents that undoubtedly would make a great book if they were put to gether just right.' Then I am given some little story, probably or undoubt ed interest in its way. but lacking much of being a theme for a novel. They always conclude by saying: 'Of, course, you could work in a love story with it." and :i Tew things like that, but that would he easy, and lots of people would remember and recog nize these incidents. It ought to be a great book. If you care to use it. I'll give you all of the pointers sonic day.' 'Hut I have had some embarrassing questions put to me. For instance. only recently I was asked to make a statement for a prominent literary club of ladies as to whether I wrote for fame or money I mean as my pri mary object. That question may look easy, but consider how you would an swer it satisfactorily to a club. An other friend asked me if I ever re ceived any especially interesting let ters. I told her I did. and she want ed to know from whom. "Well. 1 think the most interesting letters come from my publishers." I said. "Ms that so? And would you mind telling me some of the most interest ing things they say?' she asked. "The most interesting words they over write me are these: 'Enclosed find check in payment of royalty.'" I replied, and she turned up her nose and became chilly at mice. "I'.ut. really.

"So you have made up your mind to be a specialist in what line"" was the question put to a struggling doctor by a friend. "I don't know," was the answer. "! have been considering various advan tages in different branches. A chirop odist can generally get a foothold, no matter how bad business is: a mani curist has usually .something on hand, and an ear and eye specialist can ofteu get a hearing when there is anything in sight.

An Easy Cure. A correspondent for a local paper writes that his sister sent him four fun lines which are guaranteed to cure any ease of strenuosity in the family.

In the history of American railroading no such extensive and costly improve ment of coach lighting has ever been attempted up to this time as that which will be made effective by the Burlington Route the first of Jane. On that date all of its through trains will be electric lighted from locomotive headlight to observation platform The most efficient electric lighting system yet devised has been adopted, namely, the dynamo system. With this system there is installed in the baggage car of each train a high power dynmnn which snpplies the current for the entire train. Ordinarily, when the dynomo car is de tached, there is a distinct dimming of the lights, but under the dynamo system not only is enough current generated to light the train when it is in motion or standing still, but enough surplus cur rent is stored in each individual car to brilliantly light it for several hours with out any direct current from the dynamo. This in itself is a big improvement over other systems of enr lighting. To inaugurate this service it has be en nacessary to entirely re-equip, electrical ly, 72 complete trains, for the Isling ton's through trains not only reach nil the cities of the Middle West. but. also the Pacific Coast. In addition, prac cnlly the entire passenger equipment of the railroad, including locomotives, bag gage cars, mail cars, coaches, chair cars, dining cars, sleeping cars and observa tion cars also bad tolwentirely re-equipped for electric lighting, and at very large expense. Another very important feature and one not found on any other railroad is ttie exclusive train electrician, which ench one of then electrically lighted through trains carries. The train olect rician is an electrical oxpert who travels with the train from start to destination and whose duly it is to see that the elec tric lighting system is kept in perfect working operation all the time. It is al so his duty to look after tho proper ventilation of the train and to see that it is properly heated that it does not become too cold by night or too warm by day The Burlington is also the only rail road in the country which has a com pletely electric lighted Suburban pas senger train service of any pize, all of its snliurban trains, of which there are fit) odd. Iieing dynamo electric lighted. With this great improvement, the Burlincton Rente, which already is un excelled in its equipment, dining car service, regularity with which its train run "on time," and complete block sig nal equipment will have passenger ser vice as nearly perfect in nil details as ii is possible to make it.

Erskine recently purchased of Guy W. Gardner. Mr. Coolidge has been working in the store for some tinio nnd is familiar with the business. The natty uniforms which the Central City band purchased during the leader ship of Professor Paul a year or so ago were sold last week to the band nt Ham pton, Iowa, which Mr. Paul is now con ducting. There being no organization here now it was thought best to sell the uniforms while they were in good condi tion. The proceeds will be used to pay up some old debts. While fishing in the Platte about seven miles west of town yesterday afternoon Jack McMahon, son of John McMahon, came upon the body of a man. The corpse was lodged under some bushes near the bank and from its location hnd evidently been in the one position for some tune. From its position it could not be seen from the bank anil it was only by chance that Mr. McMahon dis covered it. The body was badly decom posed. Coroner Frank Ivomhrink was immediately notified and he went out and got the corpse, bringing it to his undertaking rooms where it is lying as we go to press. The body is in such a condition that it is impossible to distin guish the features of the face or make much of an examination. The top part of the head, however, is intact and a large bullet hole that enters at the right temple and emerges at a point under the left ear indicates that the man has either been the victim of foul play or has com mitted suicide. There is no doubt on the part of those who have examined the body that the wound was made by a bul let and it was evidently the work of a large calibre revolver. The man s clothes arc those of a laborer. He wore a fairly good suit and hnd on n pair of new Sun llower. 6hoes, No. (i1 in size. He was Gve feet, seven inches tall and was ap parently about forty years of age. The only articles found on his person were a knife and pocket comb. sey's magazine. It was a story of the west and concerned the heroism of a irl. wiiose name, chosen at random, appeared in the story as 'Alice Gil bert. I was absent from home and had asked .Mrs. Kramer to open my mail while I was gone in order that I might he communicated with immedi ately if necessary. When I returned I found a letter awaiting me from a young lady who signed herself 'Alice Gilbert.' aiid who wrote as though she were a very close friend of mine. In the letter she discussed the story in question and wrote as though the F.ory had been woven from incidents in real life in which she and I had figured. I had spent a few years in the west, ami Mrs. Kramer was won dering why I should he thus idealiz ing one of my old Haines. It was a difficult matter to explain, although I had never heard of the lady in ques tion, and until I received her letter did not dream that an Alice Gilbert really existed. Afterwards I learned by a little investigation that 1 could not resist making and in which Mrs. Kramer joined me that the real Alice Gilbert was a most estimable young lady, a school teacher in the Ohio city from which her letter had been written. When my next book was ready for publication I mailed her one of the publishers' announcements with the suggestion that as she had been so interested in the short story, she might be interested in the book. This brought a letter in which she begged forgiveuess for her impulsive prank that prompted the first letter, and which was written in her surprise at finding the heroine's name to be the same as hers. Yes. I think, all things considered, that that was the most in teresting letter I ever received as a result of my story writing." Go Out Into the Burton Thatcher, who will deliver a lecture-recital at Chautauqua, is one of the rising baritone singers of the age. His musical training has been received at great cost and much at tention has been given to "folk songs" as well as the classics. He is a musician by temperament and in Ptlnct: added to his mentality he has a wonderful voice and an admirable physique. After referring most flatteringly to Burton Thatcher's work in his recital if the evening before, the Salt Lake Tribune adds: "His performance throughout was very creditable, show ing conscientious work, and his rendi tion of 'Song of Hybrias and 'King Duncan's Daughters' is deserving of suecial mention."
