ITEMS OF INTEREST IIOWKLI.S Snun the Journal. Frank F. Stanek has secured a patent on non-slipping horse shoes of his own invention whicli promises to be a winner, lie will at once have a supply of the shoes manufactured and placed upon the market. Phil Swoboda has for the past few days been marketing alfalfa hay at this place for which he is receiving S12 per ton. He tells us that from a seven acre field on his farm, southwest of town, he cut us his 1910 crop forty-five tons; in other words $? 10 worth of hay. Little wonder that land bringing such returns is fust creeping up to a value of S200 per acre. SILVKU CHEEK. From tho Hiiml. Thursday morning a broken window light in the front of Sam Allis's hard ware Btore told a tale of robbery. Sher iff Her was notified and came down at noon with a Doniphan man who had a couple of young hounds. Tho pups worked their way from the store through the alley to u short distance north of the track on the opera house street three different times but nothing developed. Jesbe Gilmore found a small Stevens rille near his corn sheller which stood near the railroad water tank and it proved to belong to Mr. Allis. It was found on investigation that the building had not been entered, but that the win dow glass had been broken and three guns which stood with others had been taken out through the hole in the glass. CENTRAL CITY. From tho Nonpareil. The Hamilton country end of the Platte river bridge south of town will be rebuilt, work on the structure having commenced yesterday. It is the purpose of the Hamilton county authorities to rebuild COO feet of the bridge and ninety new piling will be driven. Dr. E. L. Hobinson, county physician, reports fourteen families under quaran tine in the county at the present time. Twelve of them are in the west end of the county, the case of diphtheria there, followed by a public funeral making it necessary to quarantine that neighbor hood. The Hadley home on the college tection is under quarantine and a family at Clarke has been quarantined for scar let fever. LEIGH. From tli World. Ed llollman bought a large feed mill in which he cah grind ear corn with the husk on and -all kinds of grain and also alfalfa. He will run it with his large gasoline traction engine. He also got a very small engine to run the washing machine and churn for his wife. Ed is a hustler. The following dispatch taken from Monday's World-Herald concerns a lady well known in this community. Claiming to be on her way to friends in Milwaukee, Mrs. Emma Hemstadt, of near Columbus, Neb., was taken sick on the train and removed to a hotel in Ames, Iowa, where her child was born a FR1SCHH0LZ BROS.

The babe is o daughter and was named "Ames Iowa." A horse being driven by Jesse Salyars dropped dead on the road just south of town, yesterday, and while Fred Ahrens was coming into town this morning his teamtook fright at the dead animal and making a sudden turn threw Mr. Ahrens out of his wagon breaking both bones of the right limb between the knee and the ankle. Mr. Ahrens was brought to Dr. Lowery's office where both bones were set and he was taken to his home. PLATTE CENTER From the Signal. The dog poisoner bos again been busy in our town and several canines have "gone the route" in the past few days. The only way to be sure that you have a live dog is to keep it at home. Two lingers of the left hand was the price paid by Sirs. Win. HoefTelman of Grand Prairie township for operating a corn machine. It happened on Thanks giving day when. Mrs. lioeffelman, anx ious to help finish husking the last of their cornfield, had her fingers caught in the machinery, necessitating an amputa tion. Last week Monday night, when the pas-enger train arrived here, several small boys amused themselves by throw inn stones at the passenger coaches, and one window was broken. The matter was reported to headquurters and this week Monday W. .1. Gorman, a U. P. detective, came here to investigate the matter. He had no difficulty in locat ing tuc boys who composed the group from which the stones were thrown, but the testimony was conflicting as to which boy threw the stone that broke the window SCHUYLEK. From tho Sun. Fred Schley has filed a petition in dis trict court praviug for a divorce from his wife Mary A. Schley. He alleges cruelty as a ground for separation. The wife of the Burlington passenger engineer, Emory, died ut St. Joseph hospital last Sunday. She submitted to and operation there about a week be fore and could not survive the shock. Mr. Emory is a new man on the Burling ton here having had the run about two months. He had rented the John C. Sprecher residence expecting to move here. The deceased never lived here and is not known in Schuyler. It is said by railroad men that she has been in very poor health. Prof. Frank 11. Moore and the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Prokes had a rather startling experience down at the river la Saturday. They went down to see the new bridge, walking out on a plank temporarily placed there, Miss Prokes fell into the river. Mr. Moore jumped in after her. Having only one arm Mr. Moore had a rather hard task before him but he was equal to the oc casion. Catching hold of the girl he guided her to an old piling in the river where he clung on until they were res cued by parties close by. The water was fortunately not very deep where the accident occurred. Columbus. MONROE. From the Bepnblican. Wm. Graham of Mondamiu, Iowa, ar rived Tuesday and was shaking hands with his old friends in Monroe and vici nity. R. H. Jones was marketing hogs at Platte Center Tuesday. Dick said that this made him $1,000 worth he had sold this year. O. B. Preston rented the building east of the barber shop and last week moved his confectionary store into it. He will live in the rooms on the second lloor. Mrs. II. S. Thurston and children ac. companied by Miss Gladys Tharston, left Monday for their new home in Jeff erson. Ore. Roy and his brother Kings ley, who left here about two weeks ago, with the car, arrived safely at their des tination. Nets Carter, who was taken to Colum bus Thanksgiving day by Sheriff Lachnit and Deputy Sheriff Burke, had a hear ing before the insanity commisssion and was committed to the Norfolk asylum. As this is the third time he baa been committed he will probably be transfer red to the Hastings institution. During the coming week a meeting of the Monroe Commercial club will be called, and all members will be asked to be present. While in all probability. the filing of the vacancy on the board of directors will be one of the matters to come up, there will also be Feveral others of importance discussed at this time. Carl F. Ewart of Columbus became the owner of the J. E. Erskine general store in Monroe this week, the iuvoice being taken and formal transfer made this week. As a part of the considera tion, Mr. Erskine becomes the owner of an eighty acres near Columbus. Mr. Ewart has been a resident of north of Columbus for sometime, and last spring sold his farm and purchased the eighty acres he transferred to Mr. Erskine. He will assume active management of the business and move his family to Monroe and make his home. OSCEOLA. From the Iteconl. Mr. Herman Benda had one of bis valuable horses hurt last week. The animal got a roll of barb wire around its neck and in trying to get it off cat its neck and bead so badly that a doctor from Columbus was summoned bat was unable to do anything with the horse. A dance was given in the new hotel building at Duncan last Saturday even ing, lue uoiumous orcnestra rurnisn ed the music. A number of young folks of this vicinity attended and reported a good time. A few accidents occurred on the road that night. Mr. Nels Chris tensen had the shaft of his buggy broke and Mr. Hubert Kropatch had some trouble with his little Brush auto. His machine tried to make him believe he was going op some mountains going up the sand hill near Mrs. Banisch. Harm Shank was the victim of a very serious accident Sunday night and one that will probably cause him permanent disfigurement. While fixing his furnace fire, he was badly burned by an explosion of gas. the Haines burning him severely on the face and hands. The burns are very painful and it will be some time be fore be is able to leave the room. His hair was badly singed by the explosion. It seems that a quantity of gas bad ac cumulated in the furnace and the explo sion came without any warning. Harm is getting more than his share of injury these days, and we hope be will be per mitted to recover from these before any more bad luck strikes bim. GENOA. From tho Time?. Walter, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sa line, is the fifth member of the family stricken with consumption since last February. He has gone to the Wood men sanitarium at Colorado Springe, where his brother is a patient. A Cozad driver was out in the country the other day. He met and old lady and gentleman driving what seemed to be a staid and trustworthy horse and was surprised when the old gentleman gave the signal to stop. He pulled to one side of the road and the old gentle man led his horse by the machine. The old critter didn't even prick up his ears or look toward the shiny snort wagon, which caused the driver of the auto to remark: "Your horse don't seem to be the least bit afraid." "No,' replied the old gentleman, "it's the old woman." Ex. Some men are intemperate in the use of liquor and some are intemperate in the use of figures. For instance: The prohibition press contains the startling announcement that there are one million men in the country who are confirmed inebriates, six million who drink heavily and twenty million who are more or less temperate in the use of intoxicants. The population of the United States is about ninety million, and of this number one-fifth, or eighteen million, are men. And yet the claim is made that there are twenty-seven million men in the United States marching in the army of booze fighters. Her Question Answered. Yes. Geraldiue, we quite agree with you that the crunching of celery is a noise abhorrent to the sensitive soul. A much better way is to cut the stalks into medium sized pieces and hold them in the mouth until they dissolve. Write again, Geraldine. We are al ways glad to dispense useful informa tion. Lippincott's. Maternal Pride. Mr. Newlywed This paper says there are 50.000,000 babies born every year. Mrs. Newlywed Ob. darling, doesn't that make you proud? Mr. N. Why should it? Mrs. N.

THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION. Much Sickness Due to Bowel Dis orders. A doctor's first question when con salted by a patient is, ''Are your bowels regular?" He knows that 98 percent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torbid liver, and tint this condition must be removed gently nnd thoroughly before health can be restored. Itexall Orderlies arc u positive, pleas ant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are so certain of their great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser's money in every case when they fail to produce entire satisfaction. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy, they act quietly, and have a soothing, strengthening, healing influence on the entire intestinal tract. Tbey do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, excessive looseness, diarrhoea or other annoying effect. They are especially good for children, weak persons or old folks. Two sizes, 25c and 10c.

Hicks says that a regular storm period will extend from the 10th of Dec. to the 15ih. The barometer will fluctu ate and fall to low reading, and storms of rain, with probable thunder south ward, will appear in thi: west early in the periods and a long series of days following, rain storms, turning to snow, sleet and blizzards will sweep over most parts of the sea and land in this and other countries. As Mr. and Mrs. C Loveless were on their way home from Columbus last Saturday afternoon their machine be came unmanageable while crossing one of the channel bridges between the Loup and the Platte, and on striking the rail ing smashed it and went over into the channel. Croshier remained at the helm nnd went down with the machine. Mrs. Loveless also went down with the auto, 6o did a couple of friends who were with Mr. and Mrs. Loveless. Fortunately none of them were hurt. The auto was considerably damaged. Mrs. Eb Curtis and Miss Lottie Curtis, while returning from Columbus by buggy same day had a smash up on one of the bridges. Their broncho, it seems, became frightened while passing au au to. It really sounds bad to hear of so many accidents happening to our neigh bors while returning home from a wet town. But, then we know Croshier nev er imbibes. The Coming Year. This is the fifth year the State Journal makes its Bargain week offer to accept subscriptions for the whole of 1911 for only $t without Sunday, or $4 with Sunday. This offer not good after the week of December 21 to 28 as after that date the regular prices of $4 and 5 will be charged. This year the legislative sessions will make the Journal especially interesting and people who have never before read the paper will be anxious to get it to watch the doings of the legisla ture, because the Journal is not afraid to print all that happens. The paper stops when the time is up. It prints more state telegraph than any other Nebraska paper; has a vigorous Washington de partment, strong market features, and is independent of factions. Its especially attractive to people who are independent in their thinking and who want to know what really is going on. If you should send in your remittance at once the paper will be sent from now until Janu ary 1, 1912, at this cut price. Address State Journal, Lincoln, Nebr.

An exile v was in the camp at Jao chow and who owed the hsien (district magistrate; a grudge, rede a black horse to Loping and. having killed the hsien. got bark for the Jaochow roll call next morning. As tho murderer could not he found orders came from the capital that a large number of the people should be killed. To prevent this slaughter of innocent folk the pit ting, a good old man. said be stabbed the hsien after a few words over the wine cups, nnd he was consequently beheaded. No resident of the district would deal the fatal blow, but au itin erant cobbler or bamboo worker did It for a reward of 40 taels. Tradition adds that he was struck dead by light ning after leaving the execution ground. Chinese Mercury- No Fire Within. Times have changed. Our fathers for some strange reason preferred a cold meeting house to one which was warmed by artiticial heat. When a stove was put into the Old South church, Boston, in 17S3 a newspaper of contemporary date contained this significant lament: Extinct the sacred flre of love. Our zeal grown cold and dead. In the house of God we fixed a stove To warm us In their stead. The Better Way. Barber-Shall I take a little of the ends of your hair off. sir?
