A wife of a prominent Grand Islander recently bought a dress and some other things which took her husband's salary for an even three weeks. Only another instance where it isn't safe to judge a man's income by his better half's clothes. Mr. and Mrs. Heber Hord and Geo P. Bissell returned Sunday noon from Marion, Ohio, whither they went to at tend the funeral of Heber's father, the late Thomas B. Hord. Mrs. Bissell, who accompanied them to the east, de cided to goon to Cocbranton, Pennsyl vania, her former home, for an indefinite visit with relatives and friends. The large center keystone, weighing between 200 and 300 pounds, and rest ing immediately above the entrance door of the court house, fell to the ground during the high wind the fore part of the week. Fortunately no one happened to be near at the time or we might have to relate a different story. The stone's falling has also loosened the other two resting above the door and there is eminent danger of these falling at any time, ft seem a as though the people of this county will be competed to build a new court house in the near future whether all are in favor of snch a step or not.

Dussell SL Son ABOUT OUR NEIGH BORS AND FRIENDS CLIPPED FROM OUR EXCHANGES GENOA. From the Timei1. Mrs. Helen Dorr, aged 63, died at her home eight miles north of Genoa last Sunday. Fnneral services were held Wednesday. One of the questions Genoa people have been attempting to solve is why a pair of shoes now-a-days is put out of commission in about one-half the time compared with ten years ago. Dr. Wiley, the government chemist, has solved the question: Fjaudulent "load ing" of leather by the nse of glucose and other materials is being practiced to an immense extent, to the great detriment of the lower quality of shoes, according to information laid before congress by Dr. Wiley, who has gathered a collection of samples of this loaded leather and has pronounced the work "a fraud." "A specialty is sole leather loading," said Dr. Wiley. ' Glucose adds to the weight of the leather, and, of course, when you go out into the wet4 and snow, the glu cose, which is soluble, runs out and the water runs into its place. There ought to be some law to prevent the practice." PLATTE CENTER From tlio Signal. Mr. nnd Mrs. J. M. Sheridan and children arrived here Saturday from their home at Spalding for a brief visit at the home of aire. J. J. Regan. They will also spend several days with Mrs. Mary Sheridui and family, of Columbus, before returning home. Miss Angie Cranio, who has been in failing health the past several months, entered the Columbus hospital and on Saturday submitted to an operation for appendicitis and other complications. The many friends of Miss Cronin will be pleased to know that she is getting along very nicely. Tom Sokol lost a horse last Saturday in a runaway. His boys had hitched the horse to the buggy and were waiting for their father to get in when it sudden ly started to run, tipping the buggy over and breaking it to pieces. Then it stumbled and fell, breaking its neck. This happened only a few yards from the Sokol home. We are reliably informed that Rev. Father Angelus, who has been pastor of St. Joseph's chnrch the past year and a half, has been transferred to San Anton io, Texas. Rev. Father Cyric, of Joliet, 111., baa been appointed to fill the vacan cy made by the removal of Rev. Angelus. During his stay Rev. Angelus has made many warm friends who will regret to hear of his departure. There is one man in Nebraska City who is much beloved by his' relatives. When be goes away to visit them he never stays over night and consequently he is welcome to go again. He never outlives his "welcome." He made it a rule many years ago, after hearing two young men talking about another kin who had brought a trunk and intimated that he meant an all summer stay, that he would never give any relative a chance tossy that about him. And he has lived up to it ever since. This is a true story. Columbus. KOXROX. From the Bepablioaa. Miss Maude Hill.was an over Sunday guest of Miss Grace Lubker in Colum. boa. Mrs. H, J. Hill returned heme Wed nesday after pending two weeks with relatives in Dennieon, la. Louis and Addie Coale returned to their home at Bennett. Neb., Tuesday after a two weeks visit at the William Webster home. Wednesday of this week the Monroe aobools again opened after a ten days' vacation on account of the holi days. The arrangement regarding the vacation this year was different than be fore, bnt this was arranged so as to make np lost time. Fred Hill went to Council Bloffs lsat Saturday to visit over Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gates. He returned as far as Columbus Monday, but was compell ed to wait until Tuesday morning before he could get to Monroe, the first train after the storm being run that morning. Mrs. Hill, who had been visiting Mr. and Mrs.Gates for about two weeks, returned home Tuesday afternoon. So far as heard from but two Platte county rural carriers made their entire tripe the day following the storm of this week. They both carry route Mo. 1 and they are Geo. F. Alexander of Monroe and W. D. Benson of Columbus. When drifts are bad it requires a good deal of hard work on the part of the carriers, and besides is bard on the horses. On route No. 1 out of Monroe Carrier Alexander experienced considerable trouble and was forced to leave the roads in several places and go through fields, but in spite of this he covered the entire route. Nellie, the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Swansop. died last Saturday after a short illness She had been in poor health for over a year, and was unable to attend school for some time, 'but ber condition was not such as to cause her relatives any ap prehension. Nellie was born on the home farm, about two miles north of town, and resided here all her life. She attended the Monroe schools until her health failed, and since that time has been compelled to remain at home. Funeral services were held Tuesday at the home and she was taken to Nebras ka City, the former home of her parents, for burial. SCHUYLER. From the San. Prank Renecke a former resident of Schuyler had the remains of his father who had been buried for 24 years, dis interred and shipped to New York on Thursday evening of last week. The final burial to be at the old family home. John Mick, who was a fireman on the Burlington passenger here about a year ago, was killed in Lincoln last Tuesday trying to catcb a street car. Mr. Mick is well known to many Schuyler people who are grieved to learn of his sad end ing. During the year 1910 the district court granted n decree of divorce to 9 dissatisfied couples. The county judge granted license to wed 98 couples during the same time, or one out of every eleven couples were divorced if that percentage was maintained in this county. Tnesday evening as the Burlington passenger train was slowly pulling into Prague, as they ronnded a curve Engin eer Emory was startled to see a team dash around the corner and right onto the track not thirty feet in froi.t of the engine. He reversed but too late to avoid the accident. The team was evi dently running away as the man was seated in the bottom of the wagon pull ing with all his might on the frantic horses. The engine strnok the wagon squarely in the center and killed tbe man. We did not learn, his name but understand he was a Bohemian farmer living a short distance out of Prague. MILLIONS OF LIVES. An Awful Toll Collected by Con sumption. Many Unnecessary Deaths. If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is an internal disease that external applications cannot cure, they would not need to be warned so often about this malady, which, when neglected, paves the way oftentimes for consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right treatment is employed. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internrl lining of the body is toned up and made capa ble of resisting the infection of con sumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from tbe prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose record was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as pre scribed. That remedy is Bexall Mucu Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Bexall Mucu-Tone on our guar antee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and $100. Very often tbe taking of one 50-oent bottle is sufficient to make a marked impression upon the case. Of course in chronio oases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in eueh instances is three $1.00 bottles.

Thousands of Strands In Esch ef Its Silky Threads. For a long time the web of the spi der was supposed to be a simple strand of wavy silk, but later It was found that such was far from being tbe case. Under the microscope we can get at the secret of the spinning very nicely. We see that there are either four or six teats on the spider near tbe lower part of the abdomen, almost exactly similar to the teats of a cow. From these issue four or six strands, as the case may be. But these strands them selves are not simple, but are com posed of at least a thousand fibers each, for It has been proved that In each teat there Is a sieve of at least a thousand holes, through which tbe silky matter Is strained. Thus we see that, fine as Is a spider's web. It Is yet composed of from 4,000 to COOO fibers. Leuwenhoeck states that It would take at least 4,000,000 of the completed threads to make a thread as strong as a silk thread of the size of a hair. As to the color of tbe thread, our ordinary spiders spin one of a uniform gray color. But in tbe riotous tropics there arc found spiders that spin vari colored webs. One particularly pro duces red, yellow and black threads, which it binds together with a pleas ing color effect In the thread of the spider lies dor mant a great Industry once it is prop erly studied. Popular Magazine. Struck a Coincidence. It was tbe hour of family confidences. Mr. Bugglns had finished his evening papers nnd in slippers and dressing gown was toasting his toes before the asbestos fire log, while the wife of bis bosom was putting a few stitches lu the table cover she was doing for Aunt Mary. "I did something today that I've been screwing up my courage to do for a long time," said Mrs. Bugglns. "Yes?" said Mr. Bugglns. mildly In terested. "What was It?" "You know that odious Mrs. Bjones?' replied Mrs. Bugglns. "Well, I paid her a call that I have owed for near ly a year." "My dear, I can sympathize with you," said Mr. Bugglns. "Today, by a strange coincidence, I paid that odious., Mr. Bjones a bill I hadjowed him for quite as long." New York Times. Not Interested.

Dur ing his short stay in Humphrey, Father Hildebrand baa made many friends who will einoerely regret to bear of his re moval. The new pastor, Rev.

A cup which had been used in a High school for several months without hay ing been washed was lined inside with a thick brown deposit Under tbe micros cope this deposit proved to be composed of particles of mud, thousands of bits of dead akin, and millions of bacteria. Some of this sediment was injected un der the skin of a healthy guinea pig, and forty hours later the pig was dead . An examination afterward ahowed that pneumonia germs had killed the pig. A second guinea pig was inoculated with some of tbe sediment from the same cup and developed tuberculosis. Oareful inquiry showed that several pu pils in this school from which the cup was taken, were then Buffering from consumption.' says tbe Chicago Health Bulletin. Colorado Vanadium Find Has Stirred Mining Circles. Announcement of tbe discovery in southwestern Colorado of a green black era of high vanadium content following so closely the discovery of high-grade vanadium in tbe Magnolia mine near Boulder, Colorado, has deeply stirred mining circles. It is believed this marks an epoch in the history of vanadium in tbe state and that Colorado will soon be in position to successfully compote with Peru snd Africa in the production of this wonder ful miners!. Ferro-vanadium is an alloy of iron and vanadium, in the proportions of two parte of tbe former to one of tbe latter. It has remarkable properties in purify ing, strengthening snd toughening steel, but its comparatively high price has greatly retarded its more general adop tion. Nevertheless, progressive steel and iron consumers and makers are begin ning to overcome their prejudices against its initial cost in their appreciation of its effects. Vanadium springs have double tbe strength and treble the life of springs made from ordinary en-el Vanadium gears are practically indestructible, vanadium locomotive frames are un breakable, vanadium cast-iron locomo tive cylinders have entire absence of poroaity and wear interminably, vana dium tool ateel cuts many more times aa muoh aa regular ateel. while vanadium saws last longer, cut fatter and with stand ill-usage better than any other saws, and vanadium protective deck plate for our battleships proved itself to be 269 per cent better than tbe Krnpp plate. And so it goes the story of the saper-excellence of iron snd ateel pro ducts with the vanadium addition Bat metal production is subject to tbe great law of supply and demand, and it in turn is tremendnously influenced by public opinion. It is held that tbe prices of commodities sre too high, and since it is believed that reductions will be made in the near future, there has been much holding back of placing orders except for comparatively stable and low-priced materials. In periods of great activity in the steel business there is considerable demand for speoisl alloyed steels, snch ss those containing nickle, chrome-nickel, tita nium, chrome vanadium, tungsten chrome, and vanadium-cbrome-tungsten alloys. When the steel trade languishes, as it has dona during the past year, there ia a corresponding reduction in tbe de mand of tbe steel msnufacturers for these alloys. Is tbe vanadium line these unfavora ble conditions have been made worse by the unwarranted expansion of the three leading producers . As there is ao com binaiion ef these producers, naturally there haa been price cutting, aad the market which, prior to last July, had bean stable at 96 per pooad. metallic vanadium contents for the alloy, haa bow dropped to 4 at). & TinflMJW a ? 9fSrir' &J&2 "-l m&ffliZ '" ''JZxMriiLMr-SsSKSBSBSu WESIERN IAN nHMCI3 0haJail82 Xxhttito frem every western mate, shewing I gfceilosi and dry f armhag method.

Oie's notion of piano hardware I likely to be that It Is material of vari ous sorts used in the manufacture ami repair of pianos, au Idea that would be In tbe main correct, but at tbe same time there Is more or less of such material sold at retail to private owners of pianos who may be skilled In tbe use of tools and who undertake to do their own repairing to save ex pense, and such purchasers may In clude men who have no knowledge of music, though they may have the me chanical expertness required for the job. Obviously no great skill Is required In replacing a broken caster. A mnu can buy a single caster and putf It on himself if he wants to, or be' could lu like manner replace a broken hinge or a screw, and he can buy any of these things. But the home repairer does more ambitious work still as, for In stance, he may replace a broken wire. He cau buy piano wire of precisely tbe right gauge, and he may under take this Job and get away with It, or he may replace one or more broken keys or liammers. Not long since a man who had liought a pretty well worn secondhand piano for $15 bought for it a complete new set of hammers, which he put ou himself. Only men of real skill can do such jobs as this, bnt in a town of this size there are enough men who do their own piano repairing to make it pay to keep piano hardware on sale at retail.
