Harney Hihaueen drove into town Monday morning with his horse and buggy, and as he lifted up the cover on the hack of the buggy out jumped a hen.

C. Martin and J. W. Macnamer de parted Monday evening for Columbus, where they expected to join a party headed by J. K. Krskine which will spend a week at Knder's lake in Cherry county. The fishing and hunting thereabouts is reported to be good and the gentlemen expect to be able to put in the time some way. The party will be composed of mighty nimrnds from Columbus, Omaha, Platte Center nnd Norfolk. A portion of this section of the county is to be ditched after all. Although the proposition to organize a drainage dis trict and go about the project in an ex tensive manner was defeated the private property owners haye concluded to push the work The latter part of last week a ditching machine similar to the one that has been working at Clarks for the past two or three weeks arrived and it will commence operations on Jos. W. (law's farm east of town this week. The outfit is owned by Heattie A- Hubbard, of Minnesota, but has lately been work ing in Missouri. Mr. Heattie. who is with the onttit, says he has contracts for digging several miles of ditch, commenc ing at the (law farm and extending east. In addition to that he has been consult ed by a number of otLer farmers and ex pects to construct twenty miles of ditch before he leaves here. He may be here for a couple of years. The work now contemplated will follow the southern lateral .ns laid out by the government engineer in his survey. People who get results advertise in the Journal. Columbus. MONROE.

Leonard Hardin met with nn nocident Wednesday afternoon which nearly caused him to lose sight in his left eye. Squire Folliott and hen had been out shooting frogs with a 22-cahbre repeat ing rille, and Leonard was iu the act of throwing an empty shell from the barrel of the ritle when a loaded shell caught in the carrier, and in his endeavor to loosen it, it exploded, n particle of the shell striking him in the eye. It is thought that a piece of the shell has lodged in his eye and Mr. Hardin took him to Omaha yesterday to have an eye specialist examine the injured optic. A meeting of the Entre Nons Club of Columbus, was held at the home of Mrs. Earl Weaver in Humphrey Thursday, Mrs. Weaver being a member of the club.

The house on William Me Beth 'a farm three miles west of Shelby, was com pletely destroyed by lire Tuesday fore noon and Mrs. ltobert McHeth was se verely burned on the hands, face and parts of her body. The tire originated by the explosion of a tomato can partly Oiled with coal oil and which set on the warming oven of the cook stove. Mrs. McHeth was doing some baking and was working near the stove when the can ex ploded throwing the burning oil on her clothes and setting them on fire. She ran to the telephone and gave the alarm to central office while her clothes were on fire and then got blankets and smoth ered out the fire in her clothes. She then got the baby which was up stairs and ran out of the house, which by this time was on fire and burning fiercely. About this time Wm. Went who is stay ing at Clyde Hayhurst's discovered fire and he and Mr. Uayburst took the auto mobile and hurried to the scene where they found Mrs McBeth lying with the baby a short distance from the house and suffering from her terrible burns. She was taken in the automobile to the home of Harry McBeth. a doctor summoned and everything possible done to relieve her suffering. Reports of Mrs. McBeth's condition this morning were favorable. Hut very little furniture was saved from the burning building as by the time the neighbors arrived the house was almost completely enveloped in flames.

The Lincoln State Journal of April 3 discusses at some length the plan and scope of the Western Redpath System, whose manager, Mr. Chas. F. Horner, has his office in the Burr Block of that city. The writer of the article explains that the independent Chautauquas all over tho country have been forced to abandon their projects because the receipts have been insuf ficient to warrant them in continuing to bold annual assemblies. It is pointed out that "what is everybody's business is no body's business" and that lack of careful buiness manage ment has compelled a readjustment of method in the conducting "the people's university." Mr. Horner is credited by the Journal with being one of the originators of the "circuit plan." The season of 1910 is the fourth for the Western circuit and will be the largest ever attempted by any management anywhere. Between seventy and eighty assemblies will be held in five states. In every case the original Chautauqua idea refined and uplifting mental and moral education and entertainment will be main tained. The Journal is quoted in part: Already Mr. Horner and his corps of trained assistants have mapped out the safest and best route for each of the two hundred and fifty persons, who will have part in the season's work. This is not so easy in view of uncertain train schedules and the lia bility to washouts, floods and natural hindrances. To obviate this possible difficulty substitute route are studied out and when each man reports for duty he is furnished a preferential and an alias routing. To give one an idea of the magni tude of the system's plan it is neces sary to give but few figures. Tho total mileage to be traveled by the people that make up the system for 1910 will be more than a million miles, the equivalent of two trips to the moon and then three times around the earth. $25,000 will be paid for railroad and automobile travel And yet the average move from place to place will not be more than seventy miles. But aside from the routing of the talent, which has been reduced to such a system as to make it a marvel of de tail, there is a small army of office people and attaches all of whom are essential. To properly conduct seventy-five assemblies thirty agents have been assisting Mr. Horner for several mouths in selecting the towns where the demand seems to warrant the holding of a Chautauqua. Here con tracts have been made for the sale cl the required number of tickets, ar rangements have been made for a proper site to pitch the big canvass auditorium, advertising has been ar ranged for and hundreds of details have lioen worked out. Eight superintendents or platform managers are employed. There must be eight cashiers, sixteen gate keepers, thirty-two ushers, forty or more tent men. three traveling auditors, three or four advertising managers and a couple of press agents to say nothing of a dozen bookkeepers and sten ographers. Thirteen car loads of advertising matter will be sent out by mail and express more than one million pieces. Over fifty thousand letters will be mailed before the close of the season not a bad thing for Uncle Sam's cof fers. Advertising will be purchased from two hundred and fifty newspapers. Twelve carloads of tents, seats and necessary equipment will be kept on the move and ten different railroads will be patronized. The Man Behind the Plan. And now what of the personality of the young man whose genius this clock-work system is due? It will be interesting to know that measuring his age by the birthdays he has cele brated, this Napoleon of detail is barely on the shady side of thirty years, but measured by his experience he is old beyond his years. It requires a superlative degree ol optimism and an unbounded confidence in human kind to enter into contracts aggregating $100,000 a year in advance of the opening of the season; to in vest thousands more in perishable equipment that must withstand the fury of the elements; to arrange for the expenditure of other thousands in transportation and all the while bank ing liis judgment upon his ability to please the public and give them what they need and want. Yet this is literally what Mr. Hor ner does and he makes it go. Perhaps the controlling factor of Tlr. Horner's personality lies in his ability to judge people and to surround himself with efficient, able assistants. To them he imparts his own confidence in his pro jects and infuses them with his own virile ambition and earnestness. Tal ent, agents, employes, nil are person ally devoted to him and would go to any length to assist him. Of the hun dreds of men who have been connected with him at different times he holds the warmest respect and admiration of all. But aside from his pleasing manners he is a genius. To his keen, quick and discriminating judgment is due the success of the business, the perfecting of a system that works like a clock and the solution of the Chautauqua prob lem for the people. Geo. L. McNutt is a Presbyterian minister who donned overalls and worked in a big factory for the pur pose of getting the real truth of the labor problem. He is called the "Din ner Pail Man." He brings his great message to our Chautauqua this sum mer. Compare te programs offered bj the Western Redpath Chautauqua Sys tem with any other management and note the important differences. The Groves were God's First Tem ples; the Chautauqua the People's Outdoor University. M MARKET ALBION. From the New. L. I. Shall who lives on a farm west of town, has been seriously ill for the past week or so. His mind has failed him seemingly of late. His brother, who lives in Ohio, was telegraphed Friday and was expected here the first of the week. His neighbors are looking after his work and assisting in caring for him. It is a sad case and it is hoped that be may recover. Postmaster Williams was taken Sat urday with a bad case of quinsy and it was decided that an immediate operation was necessary, so he was placed on the Union Pacific evening train and hurried to Columbus in time to make connection with one of the main line fast trains to Omaha. He was taken to the Method ist hospital and operated on at once Since the operation he has been gaining rapidly. Bretena Field has brought suit for herself and children in the district court against Joseph Lichnit and August Peterson, Baloon-keepers of Humphey, and John Kasparek, saloon-keeper at Cedar ltapids, and the Lion Bonding & Surety Co., for damages in the sum of $10,000. She alleges in her petition that her husband, Martin S. Field, by reason of liquor brought from the defendants, has failed to support her and her chil dren. ltobert Lock hart and wife, old time residents of Boone county, arrived here Tuesday and will spend some time visit ing and looking after business matters They have been living in California for a number of years although they still own a quantity of Boone county land, and they will probably return hero fur a permanent home. If anyone wants to be a farmer, in Mr. Lockbardt's judg ment, they will do well to remain in Nebraska. I.EIC1I. From tho World. It was fifty years ago last Tuesday that J. H. Wurdeman first set foot up on America soil; it was also the twenty Gist anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Wurdeman and these events were celebrated in grand style nt the home of the latter on that day. An immense crowd was present and the merry making lasted all day and nearly all night. There was an nbnndanceof good things to cat and drink and' in the evening the affair wound up with n grand ball. We join the multitude of friends in wishing these estimable fam ilies many more such pleasant anniver saries. Funeral services over the remains of Gerhard Schroeder. which arrived here from New York City last Friday evening took plaee at the family home south of town Iat Sunday afternoon. Services were held at the St. Paul' church by r Go Out Into the Union Pacific Country Where there are greater opportunities and less competition; where nature is generous in both climate and soil. It is in this section that thousands will find homes in the next few years.

May 17tb, they lodged in a New York hotel, the two gentleman sharing the same room. They awoke at about three o'clock that morning anil finding it too early to get up they went back to sleep and in the morning both were found unconscious being oveicome by gas caused by the bursting of a pipe. Mr. Oldigs was found lying on the lloor with his face near the door which was partly open and this probably saved his life. Mr. Schroeder lingered until Sun day, May 22, when he expired. Depsw's Great Speech. "When I was a very young man," Senator Depew once related. "I went out to make a political speech with Eome older men one night. They want ed something red hot. and I handed it out "I just turned myself to skin the op position, nnd. on the whole, the audi euce seemed to like it. The more they cheered the more 1 warmed to It. I was immensely pleased with my suc cess. But after I got home I was wor ried. I had roasted the other side awfully. I lay awake wondering if it wouldn't react and injure our side more than the opposition. "Then I bethought of some personal allusions I had made that might eas ily be constructed as libelous. I got a good deal excited and slept very lit tle. In the morning 1 hurried down to see whether the papers had roasted me. The meeting was reported all ver the front page. I plunged into it, shivering in nervousness. But I needn't have worried. What It said about my speech was in the last two lines: "'A young man named Depew also spoke.'" New York Telegram.
