From tlio Outlook. Mr. Krings went to Columbus Monday to see his wife, who haw been in a hospi tal there during the past month. We have been informed that she is getting along nicely and expects to return home in about two weeks. There seems to be considerable sick ness in tbe vicinity at present, mostly on the pneumonia order. While no fatali ties have resulted as yet, still there are several very bad cases. To much pre caution cannot be taken this time of the year against this dread disease. ntlMPIIUEY. From the Democrat Mrs. John Wagner, who haB been vis iting at the homes of her nephews, John and Jos. Hender, the past couple of months was called to her home in Ores ton, Iowa, Thursday on account of her daughter, Mrs. Lulu Kern who was in jured in a runaway Wednesday. A fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joan Iiierman. of tbe St. Bernard neighborhood, is probably the champion boy corn pickor of tbe state. Theyoung man will not tie fifteen years of age until January next, during nine days this fall picked 818 bushels of corn, an average of nearly ninety-one bushels a day. We understand that on one of these days he picked one hundred and five bushels. The feat of picking an average of ninety one bushels a day for nine days is re markable in this case on account of tills boy's age. and many older and more experienced corn pickers would have a hard time making such a record CESTRU. CITY. From th Nonpareil. A conscientious candidate for office in the eastern part of the state was elected on this platform "If the voters favor me with this office it shall ever be my aim and desire to draw my salary with regularity, to close my office every even ing as early as the law will allow and to observe every legal holiday on the calen dar." The new surgery as it is practiced in the Rockefeller Institute is so much like applied mechanics that the doctor of the future, instead of going about from pati ent to patient carrying a few pills and powders, will be provided with a screw driver, a spring-drill, a pair of pliers and a monkey wrench. The human body is getting to be altogether to much like am automobile. The first thing they will be running us into a machine shop where they will tit us with new organs just as thev now put new carbureters and spark-plugs in buzz-wagons. Two mure families on the college sec tion have been quarantined during tbe past week for diphtheria, the Gagle and Willett families. Children in both fam ilies have been down with the disease, a little girl in the latter home having had the worst attack of it. She is improving however, and will soon be up again. None of the cases have been serious, the disease appearing in a light form. Strict precautions have been taken to prevent tbe spread of the disease. Another family at Olarks was quarantined this week for scarlet fever and another at Archer. FRISCHHOLZ BROS. SHOES CLOTHING Gents9 Furnishing Goods RELIABLE GOODS AT RIGHT PRICES. FRISCHHOLZ BROS. 405 11th Street, CSIfi DUSSEUL & SON I ABOUT OUR NEIGH BORS AND FRIENDS CLIPPED FROM OUR EXCHANGES ST. EDWABD From the Advance. Mr. and Mrs. A Powell returned home Wednesday from Pierre, S. D., where they had been called about six weeks ago by the illness of their eon, F. J. Powell, who was a typhoid patient in a Pierre hospital. Fred accompanied his parents home in the hope that those pies mother makes will restore him to his us ual good health. Tuesday A. J. McKelvey eold his har ness shop to A. . McKeen of Lincoln who has taken possession of the business. Mr. McKelvey has conducted the busi ness for nineteen years and feels that he is entitled to a little rest. He haB not only conducted the business but has been a constant worker at the bench all that time and it is not surprising that he should be longing for a little vaca tion. Mr. McKeen will not move his family to St. Edward until spring. LINDSAY. From the Tost. Dr. and Mrs. Walker and tbe latters mother, Mrs. Welin, left for Kansas City where the doctor will take a post graduate course and be fitted with an artificial limb. They will be gone about six weeks. While out hunting Monday evening about two miles south of this place, Jim Sweeney and John Baokes found two men, one lying on the ground and the other hanging on a barbed wire fence, drunk, stunned and almost frozen. Their wagons and horses were also there and it is supposed that they met and both being drunk decided to have a lit tle tistical out there all by themselves; if that was the case they must have both landed the "knock out punch" at the same time. The boys loaded them into the vehicles and brought them to town. They were put in the corner saloon where one soon revived and about three men were employed to take care of him until he was locked up in the little "rooming house" beside the track The other was about all night thawing out. LEIGH. From the World. James Larson went to Columbus last Wednesday and brought his mother up home with him. She will visit friends and relatives for some time. Mrs. Geo H. Boetel arrived last even ing from Rock Rapids, Iowa, for a visit at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Staab, and many other friends. A new postal rnling which went into effect the first of December compels all persons using Christmas stickers to place same on the back of letters and packages. Another ruling is to the ef fect that when a person mails a register ed package he will not reeeive a receipt of it's arrival unless a personal request is made of the postmaster at the time the package is mailed. Last Thursday as Elina Loseke was driving to Bissell tbe traces unhitched as she was going down hill and tbe horses became frightened and started to run. Elina held to tbe lines until they dragged her out of tbe buggy and some distance on the ground but she could not hold tbe horses. Fortunately she was not hurt much nor much dam age done to the horses or buggy. Columbus. MONRO. From the Republican. The only child or Mr. and Mra.Cbru Martin died Wednesday morning. Miss Lydia Seefield of Columbtuia a guest at the home of her sister, Mm. O. B. Preston. Geo. Niemoller came down from Can ada the first of the week to visit his sis ters, and mother.' Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Ifland returned home Thursday after a short visit with Columbus relatives. Arthur Morrow of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, arrived tbe first of tbe week for a visit with his brother, Harlan, and his sister, Mrs. Fred Strain. Mrs. M. Schram returned last week from Arlington, Neb., where she has been visiting her sister, Mrs. August Loosing, for several weeks. Wm. Weber returned Thursday morn ing from a business trip to northeastern Iowa. He reports that the snow did not reach east of the Missouri river very far. H. 1 Smith baa moved into the Van Allen place, east of Monroe, which he bought last summer. He has made quite a number of improvements on it this fall. Tbe Monroe schools will close Friday evening, December 23, for tbe holiday vacation, but as to the length of the va cation, tbe board will decide at their meeting next week. v At the seed farm a cooler is being put in to cool tbe seed and corn after it comes from tbe dryer. Before tbe seed was sacked while yet warm, but with the cooler in nse it will be reduced to normal temperature before sacking. Mystic Lodge, No. 321, I. O. O. F.. elected the following officers for 1911 at their regnlar meeting Tuesday evening! C. O. Hart, N. G ; L. M. Clayburn, V. G.; H. J. Hill, treasurer; J. B. Hart, se cretary; Wm. Troelove, trustee. These officers will be installed at the meeting of tbe order in January. The Monroe Dancing clnb is making arrangements to open a private skating rink for their members only. It will be located in tbe buildings formerly occupi ed by the hardware store, and as soon as skates csn be procured, the rink will be opened. At a meeting of tbe club last week this was decided unanimously. John Gibbon of tbe T. B. Hord Grain Co. took a sample of ear corn to Colum bus this week to secure a moisture test. While he knew there was considerable moisture in it, the amount as shown by the test was larger than expected 23.2 per cent. Corn containing 12 to Id per cent is considered dry. while 14 per cent moisture does not make it unsafe to pnt in the bin. GENOA. From the Time. "Silvertop" is the name of s new drink now on sale in many dry towns through out the state. J. P. Reed, deputy reven ue collector, who has sampled tbe be verage, declares that "silvertop" is beer, and that those who sell it must take out a government liquor license. Fred Swim, prominent farmer residing northeast of Genoa, was taken to tbe state hospital for insane at Hastings by Sheriff Chas. . Peterson last Saturday. It in stated that Mr. Swim's mental con dition is the result of worry over financial matters, although he is fairly well fixed and owes only a small amount but small as it is it oaused him mental trouble. Porter Cleveland Compton, the man who founded and edited The Erie American, tbe first anti-slavery paper published in this country, died at his home in Story county, Iowa, on tbe 26th of last month at an advanced age. It was in tbe American that tbe call for the first republican state convention was printed. Mr. Oompton was an nncle of Conduotor Hngh Compton, of this place. F. A. Saline, who accompanied his brother Walter to tbe Woodmen san itarium at Colorado Springs ten days ago, arrived home Thursday morning, lie reports that bis brother Bert is im. proving and that his condition is better now than at any time since he left Genoa Mr. Saline says there are two hundred patients in tbe sanitarium, which is lo cated twelve miles from Colorado Springs. SCHUYLER. From the Son. The Lyons estate which was sold last Monday at referee sale, consisting of 40 acres of land lying south of Richland was purchased by John Stibal for $75 25 per acre. A pretty good price for that bottom land but Mr. Stibal can nse it. Horace Paden, was np before the in sanity board last Wednesday and Thurs day and was found by tbe board not to be a fit subject for tbe asylum. The charges were brought by his brother Louis but after tbe evidence was in tbe board decided the charges were not well founded . Murdock McKenzie and James Mar shalek have resigned as Chief of Police and night watchman respectively. They have been very efficient officers and the cause of their resignation is a mystery. A little fistic encounter and some alleged unlawful practices that have passed their attention seem to be at the bottom of tbe whole deal. To our knowledge there has never been a complaint made against either of these gentleman. Last Wednesday morning Anton Svatora living eleven miles northwest of town met a very bad accident. He was going to move a watering tank for his stock; the tank was resting upon two sills and he wanted to take those sills out be fore moving it He took hold underneath tbe tank and lifted up one side, his feet slipped from under him and he fell, the tank coming down catching the right band on the sill. He pulled his nana oat ana to his horror it terribly crushed. EE3 This is the chief requisite for making Perfect Bake Day Foods. ROYAL PLATTE CENTER From the Signal. Miss Nellie Regan returned home from Omaha Wednesday night, where she had spent a week with her brother Richard, at St. Joseph's hospital. She says they have taken off one cast from Dick's broken limb and put on a lighter one. His limb has started a union, but he will be four weeks more in bed at least. Last Friday, Helen, tbe infant daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Burns, was slightly burned about tbe face and suf fered rather severely from burns on both hands. The child threw a celuloid comb into the base burner and this high ly inflammable article caused the acci dent, which however, will leave no seri ous results. There is very little grain being mark eted here lately and the principal reason for this is the slump in prices. A year ago corn was selling at better than a half a dollar, now it is thirty-two cents; oats were above forty cents, now they are twenty-three cents; wheat is bringing nearer what it did a year ago than corn or oats are, but it is considerably off. The result is that tbe farmers are hold ing their grain in hopes that prices will revive. UNION PACIFIC THE TULE WEST No. 11 .. . No. 13 No. 1 .....

The preacher np at Rising City voted for Dahlman at tbe primary election and at the general election voted for Aldrich. The people around Rising, judging from the tone of the preacher's letter in last week's Rising paper, are not well pleas ed over the way in which be changed "hows." The courts all over the country are en gaged in trying to tame and civilize tbe automobile driver. The supreme court of Minnesota has declared that when a man cranks his machine he k responsi ble for any damage that results from the noise, and sustained a verdict for dam ages for a runaway caused by such a noise. The New York courts have held drivers liable for damage because of the long trail of smoke and bad smells they have left behind them, and also made it a crime to speed on after injuring a per son or causing any other damage with out waiting to bear the results. S-wn penalties are everywhere being intl'cteii for fast driving. Perhaps in a e-.rih. courts will get the drivers 50 tamed th.-.. tbe streets will be as safe for pedes' r un aa they were before the automobiles ap peared. There is no good reaeos trby they should not be.

CARL 507 W. llth St GERMS IN HER SYSTEM. Every Woman Should Read this Advice and the Generous Offer that Goes With It. The number of diseases peculiar to women is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere mention of their names, and it is a fact that most of these diseases are of a catarrhal natnre. A woman cannot be well if there is a trace of catarrh in her system. Some women think there is no help for them. We positively declare this to be a mistaken idea. We are so sure of this that we offer to supply medicine abso lutely free of all cost in every instance where it fails to give satisfaction, or does not substantiate our claims. With this understanding, no womtn should hesi tate to believe our honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put our claims to a test. There is only one way to overcome catarrh. That way is through the blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies for years with out getting more than temporary relief at best. Catarrh m Kunerat is a diseased condition of tbe eyBlem mat shows locally most frequently in discharges from mucous membranes.
