Joe Kilmer, residing on a rented farm northweat of towu, loat nearly all of his household goods by fire, on Wednesday. An organ and some chaiis is about all that they managed to get but of the house after the fire was discovered. Some time before, they had been shoot ing Are crackers near the house, and it is supposed that a part of a firecracker had blown under the porch, and every thing being dry, started the fire. BKLIiWOOD. From the Gazette. Those who have been cutting wheat this week claim that the bundles are heavy, which is a sign that the berry is plump, and many of them. If you have a home and are out of debt, don't fret and worry yourself and wife into the grave for the sake of mak ing money. You have only one life to live, and it is brief at best Take a little pleasure and comfort as you go day by day, and try to do a little good to others. A morbid, insatiate desire to posses the earth, to grab everything in sight, is at the foundation of more misery tbanal most any thing. Wealth alone will ne ver keep memory green; a good life and kind actions will. SILVER CHEEK. From the Sand E. J.

The boys go out in an auto every morning and come back each evening in time for supper, a nine mile run. That is some thing different, isn't it. Fred Schmnker was the victim of a very painful accident Friday afternoon and one that will incapacitate him for some time. While tying a span of horses behind the wagon, he got his band caught in a noose in the rope and one of the horses i earing back, caught both fore fingers of the right hand, tearing them in frightful shape and nearly severing the first finger. He bad the hand dress ed at once, but it is in very bad shape and will lay him up for many weeks. HIWPIIBBV. Krom the Democrat Mrs. J. E. Ilugg returned home Sat nrday evening fxjra'iI6t Spring?; SD., where she went a couple of weeks ago to accomnanv her sister there for treat ment for rheumatism. She reports her sister sufficiently recovered to be able to return Lome. Mrs. Powers of Denver, Colorado, who has been visiting at the Patrick McDon ald home northeast of town, returned to her home last Saturday. She waa accom panied as far as Columbus by Miss Kate McDonald, who spent the day at that place visiting friends. Mesdames Geo. Schewda and Jac. Frittler nnd Ollie and llattic Robdaof Cleveland, Ohio, arrived in town this week for a month's visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Lachnit and family. Mesdames Schewda and Frittler are Bis ters of Mrs. Lachnit and Ollieand Hattie Kohda are a nephew and neice. Mrs. J. K.

D., nnd Charter Oak, Iowa, to spend part of the summer with relatives, after which she will go to Orleans, this state, where her husband. Dr. J. K. Muldoon, is practicing medicine. Sister Andrea arrived in town last Friday from Lincoln to take charge of the music at $t. Francis Catholic church during the absence of Sister Oeciliana, who went to Omaha last Thursday for medical treatment. Thirteen years ago Sister Andrea had charge of the musical department at the Parochial school at this place, bnt since that time she has traveled around the United States quite a bit and also made a trip to Germany. The many old friends of the Bister will no doubt be glad to hear of her return and we know her stay in Humphrey will be made most pleasant. GOODS AT PRICES. Columbus. KOXBOX. From the Bepablican. His. WiU Hornbofltel of Chicago spent Sunday with D. W. Ziegler and family, WiU being a brother of Mia. Ziegler. Miss Suaie Ziegler left Wednesday for Hartford, Kas., where she will spend a month with her sister, Mia. Fred True love. Horatio Hendryx returned to his home in Kearney Friday, after visiting for a week at the home of his aunt, Mia. Chas Kelley. Thursday morning the heaviest rain of the year fell in this locality. The fall was so heavy that roads were turned into rivers, and many of them badly washed . Northwest ol here the fall was heavier, the Looking Class raised until the water was over the railroad track between here and Genoa, requiring section men to put in the best part of the night, and the freight in the morning took up cinders to' repair any damage. Right around Monroe there waa a little hail, some of the gardens being oat bad ly. This however, was over a limited area, which is fortunate. This locality has been fortunate in getting rain this year, but for some time was on the east ern edge of the moisture belt. Owing to the poor health of Mr. Gipe, they have concluded to retire from the mercantile business, and this week sold the stock to J. E. Erskine of Columbus. Since coming to Monroe they have built up a splendid trade and it is still on the increase, but indoor work began to tell on Mr. Gipe some time ago, and it be came imperative that he should seek other work. The work of invoicing the stock will be completed this week and the store turned over to the new prop rietor, who will place Chas. McWilliama in charge, and iu this he has made no mistake, as Charlie is one of the best olerks ever in Monroe. For the present Mr. Gipe will remain in Monroe and take a much needed rest, and later he will no doubt conclude to embark in some other line. About a week before the Fourth John Swisher, formerly a resident of this locality, met with an accident that re sulted in his death on July 4th. At the time of the accident he was driving home, when, going down a hill, the neck yoke broke, and he was thrown from the wagon on to his head. For a time his injuries were not inongnt io oe lauu, but later he took a turn for the worse. Mr. Swisher resided in and uear Monroe for quite a while, and before leaving for near Spalding, was on the Webster farm, north of town. He and the family were well known in and aronnd Monroe, where they bad many friends. Besides hiB wife. Mr. Swisher leaves three chil dren, two sons, George and Earl, and one daughter. Mr. Swisher was a mem ber of the Ben-Hur, holding a member ship in the Monroe court. Funeral ser vices were held Wednesday, several from this locality being in attendance. rliATTK CBNTBB From the Signal. 1$. H.

Robinson & Co., a South Omaha commission firm, report that E. T. Graham, of Creston, had the distinction of shipping three cars of cat tle that brought the highest figures ever paid for full car loads.

Leontina, of St. Jos eph's Academy, is receiving a visit from her mother, Mia. E. B. Geharthy, and two little brothers, who arrived here last Saturday from their home in Mem phis, Tennessee. While enroute here they had a narrow escape from death. In passing through Missouri, near Mont; gomery station, their train waa entirely wrecked by the spreading of the rails. Two persons were killed instantly, and all others on the coach were injured, many of them so seriously that they died before medical aid could reach them. Mrs. Geharty and children were the only ones in the coach who escaped injury. CENTRAL CITY. From the Nonpareil. A lether-luoged damsel of uncertain age furnished amusement for a erowd on the street Saturday and incidentally traded some phony jewelry for some good coin of the realm. From the standpoint of the fakir the yonng woman was a dandy, bnt her line of conversa tion would hardly pass muster in a draw ing room. Harvest began in good earnest the first of the week and the hum of the binder is the best music in the country at the present time. A large number of new binders were taken out Friday and Saturday and the implement men are wearing smiles that won't come off. The wheat is in good shape and will make a larger yield than was expected earlier in the season. Mrs. Malinda McHugb, residing near Olarks, was brought before the insanity board Tuesday for an examination as to her mental condition. She is seventy seven years of age- and for the past few months has been acting queerly. She lives with an unmarried son who has been unable to give her the attention she ought to have and it was upon his request that the examination was made. The board concluded that she was a fit subject for treatment at the asylum. Sheriff Her took her to Hastings Tues- I day evening.

"I've been worried about my hearing for some time." said a local banker, who tells the story on himself, "and finally the fear of getting deaf became a sort of obsession to me, nnd 1 de cided to go over to New York to con sult a specialist I got over there and went to see the doctor, nnd be looked so grave 1 was more scared than ever, and 1 was feeling pretty blue as I walked down Fifth avenne with a friend. "Suddenly I saw two 'special trol leys' coining-down a cross street filled with children waving flags and appar ently having an awfully good time, but I 'couldn't bear a sound. In an In stant, without stopping to realize that I could bear all the other noises of the traffic and my friend's voice, I turned around and seized him by the arm and shouted: -Heavens. Jo, I'm deaf! I can't bear those children at all.' "Neither can I,' said my friend, with a roar of laughter. They're mutes. "Philadelphia Times. The Rod and the Child. I do not believe in the government of the lash. If any one of you ever ex pects to whip your children again I want you to have a photograph taken of yourself when you are In the act. with your face red with vulgar anger and tbe face of the little child, with eyes swimming In tears nnd the little chin dimpled with fear, like a piece of water struck by a sudden cold wind.

Make your home happy. Be honest with them. Divide fairly with them in everything. Robert G. Ingersoll. Realism. "When I was in London," said Miss Warner to the little group of friends round the dinner table who were lis tening to her account of some amus ing experiences she bad abroad last summer. "I tried to be as British as I could, but I was constantly getting mixed in my English phrases. "You know one of the underground railroads In London is always spoken of as the Hu'penny tube. so one day when 1 wished to be transported In a hurry from one side of the city to the other I astonished a big, pleasant faced bobby by asking where was the near est station of the 'twopenny tub. Every one at the table laughed ex cept the young Scotch guest. He lean ed across the board nnd said, very se riously. "Ye know ye man get n bawth in Lunnon for tu'pence." Helped Out the Gunner.

An ancient cannon was hauled out for the purpose, and the firing began. Unfortunately the pow der ran short after the ninety-third shot, nnd there was no means of ob taining nny more In tbe town. The burgomaster was In despair, especially as ninety-three shots indicated that the grand ducal baby was a girt At this moment tbe municipal bandmaster came forward with a luminous pro posal, which was eagerly accepted. He dispatched bis big drum major to the market place, where he struck eight powerful strokes on his instru ment to make up the 101 shots, and thus the situation was saved. London Standard.

The Leader joins his many friends in extend ing coagratBlatiocs and best wishes. Last season waaa hard one on bees, a large per eeat of which died last winter from starvation and other causes, and among those who thnsly suffered was S. E. Vaught, who lost every bee he owned. Having sever moved his hives, he was recently surprised to discover that a swarm of bees had taken possession of one of them. A day or two latere swarm moved into another, and this morning he reports that he is the owner of five swarms of busy, bustling bees. Where they oeme from he knows not, and as he owns the' hives of which the bees have taken possession he reckons they are his property. Don't try to be the town humorist. The town humorist acquires a reputaion in a short time that he thinks he must maintain, and as a consequence he soon becomes a burden of bis friends that is hard to bear. The town humorist makes himself so much of a bore that when his friends see him coming they cross the street to avoid him, or sneak ont the back door and hang around in the alley nntil he is safely ont of the way. Only about one man in ten million is a nat ural humorist but about one man in every ten thinks he is, and feels it his duty to "entertain" his friends whenever he meets them, with the result that they feel like yelling for the police every time they come in contact with him. If you want to be liked and respected by your fellow citizens, avoid with all your might being considered the town humorist. Better let them think you are a horse thief, or a bank robber, or a wife beater. They will think more of you. Ex. Before and After.

G. BROWN, Agent, Columbus, Neb. SCHUTUtK. From the San. The biggest real estate transfer ever made in Colfax county waa made this week. Tbe old Wells ranch oflOftS acres was parohased by Gerald Ebrea- berger for 100.000. Mr. Ebrenberger then sold to J. Krivohlavek 109 acres for $66,915 and he also sold to Postmaster McLeod 1C0 for $19,500, retaining 378 for himself. Nearly all the watch signs, probably ninety out of 100, have bands set at 8:18, but comparatively few people know why this is. I: is no accident- W.K.Wash burs, of New York, waa painting a sign for a jeweler of that city when the news of the assaaiaatioBot Abraham Liacola, April 14, 1865, waa received in New York and tbe latter ordered the painter to put upon the dial the hands tbe exact time when the fatal shot was fired, namely 8:18 and so they have eontinaed ever since. Whenever yom see a sign af ter this, recall tbe fact that it points to the fatal moment. The big public question, this year will be road improvements. It seems stran ge that there would be any "opposition party" to those who want better roads, but if you think there is no opposition, start a road campaign in your locality and find out. As a matter of fact, tbe road problem is of far more importance to the farmer than either tbe tariff or silver questions. A good road coats money. It is a business investment re quiring a large outlay of cash at first, and tbe interest on this investment comes back not only directly in the form of cash, but indirectly, as the farmer along the road is able to save horse power in hauling his crops to market. The chief question is, how is the money to be raised? Who is to handle and pay it out? It i a financial matter rather than a qneation of engineering skill. It onght to be debated and re-debated in every echoolbouse in the land. Education. What sculpture Is to n block of mar ble education is to a humuu soul.
