Webster aud daughter, Margaret, left Wednesday for a visit with relatives at Springfield, S. D. Willie Gripentrog has finished his course at the Columbus business college, and is borne working on the farm. He has several good positions offered him, but will remain on the farm for awhile. Mrs. Fannie Ligblner is very low with heart trouble and little hopes for her recovery are entertained. Her son, Stephen, who is at Lynch, has been summoned, his wife arriving from St. Edward Thursday noon. Thursday evening the village board canvassed the vote of the election, and besides this completed the passing of an ordinance regulating pool halls, which is published elsewhere in this issue. This ordinance folly covers the matter of pool balls and will no doubt be satis factory to almost everyone. A very heavy wind, accompanied by a copious fall of rain, visited this section Wednesday evening. The rain fell in torrents, and the wind did considerable damage to outbuildings. P. E. Lind blad's cow shed was overturned, and the cow was unable to get loose, and hung by the rope until released. Three teachers were elected by the board of education at their meeting Monday evening. Miss Hazel Engleman of Grand Island for the primary, Hies Hazel Richards of Genoa for the inter mediate and Miss Adda Keeton of Col umbus assistant principal.

D. Wilson, formerly of Oconee and well known to many in this locality, may conclude to inako his home in the south west, as he has just returned from a trip to Colorado nod New Mexico and is very well pleased with the country. For many years Billy was a fixture at Oconee bat prior to that time he was in Argen tine Republic, South America. Coming there from Scotland he learned to 6ieak Spanish, but siuce coming to this couu try had very little chance to use it, un til he was on this trip, which included Mexico, aud he says be was able to con verse in Spanish as easily as a third of of n century ago, when he was a young mail. oceola. From Iho Kcconi. George Mace is not making hay these days, but he is making some good roads down ou the valley and every one knows that if George makes roads like be does everything elBc that the roads will be something worth while Will Wisely and John McCormiok are clerking for George and the harvesting they are do ing with that grader is all right. The editor dropped in on Charlie Dunn the other day and found him wielding the ax ou the trees that grow so nbuudantly down there on his valley farm as he did tome forty years ago this epnug when he came out here and hometeaded that fertile spot of ground At that time Charlie was a young Irish lad of twenty and had to wait till in Juuewhen he was twenty-one to com plete bis homestead act legally. At the present time he has passed the three score mark and is still able and vigorous which will be noted with much pleasure by his old friends here and elsewhere. And Charlie's brother .limmie is not far behind. He has a tine farm on the same section and every foot of it chows the persevering effort that .limmie has ex pended iu such liberal quantities. And the boys remark incidentally that the "Irish aren't all dead jet.' This community and Shelby was startled last week, by the report that Miss Flossie Uenshew, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Heushew, had attempted suicide by shooting, while suffering from temporary mental strain. The act was accomplished with h 22 caliber ritle, the ball passing to the chest in the re gion of the beart and deflecting to the side. None of the vital organs were struck and the yonng lady is resting easily at present with good prospects of recovery. She took the weapon and went into the orchard, where the shoot ing took place. No one was at home at the time, but she anil her mother, and she walked to the house after the shoot ing. The relatives art greatly depressed by thu unfortunate circumstance and the reiurt is a great shock to the com munity. The 11 ensue w folks were form er residents of this immediate locality, where the young lady is well and fav orably known nnd where deep sympathy is felt for herself and family. MAKE THIS TEST.

Mr. and Mrs. GiUdorfs little baby who has been staying with its grandparents at Platte Center, has beeu quite ill with pneumonia, and Matt him self baa just recovered from a sever? attack of quinzy, so troubles have not been coming singly with this family. Jos. Foltz who was here for a week or ten days visiting his brothers and other friends and relatives left Tuesday for his home at Ludlow, Kentucky, but he will visit friends and relatives in the southern part of this state and in parts of Kansas in his way home. Mr. Foltz was highly pleased with Humphrey and Platte county and he says he was given such a good time while here that he will surely come back for another visit, and it won't be twenty-one years before he comes again, like it was this time, lie was accompanied as far as Columbus by his brothers, Henry and William. Representative Chas. Sohueth came home from Lincoln Suuday evening, and after a stay of over three months in the city of Lincoln, Mr. Schueth says that Humphrey looks pretty good to him. Mr. Schueth took a leading part in the legislative deliberations. He was ap pointed on a number of important com mittees which required a great deal of his time and he worked hard in an effort to serve his constituents fairly and well. The legislature passed msny good laws and some poor ones, and Mr. Schueth says tbat while he might have fell short at times, be always tried to be on the right side of a bill when it came up. HILVEU CHEEK. From thw Sand. Mrs. H. 1L Lundy was up from Colum bus the tirst of the werk packing up the family household goods preparatory to shipping them to Columbus. This means tbat the Luudy's intend to leave Silver Creek for the present, at least, after a long residence in the town and vicinity. An experiment is being made with crushed rock on the Silver Creek-Platte river bridge road in Polk couuty. Enough rock has beeu hauled in to ma cadamize about 8 rods of the road and it will be tried out as an experiment, the Polk county commissioners expecting to extend the improved road further if it proves a success. David Blair, for at) years a resident of this community, died at his home north east of Silver Creek last Monday morn ing. His death was caused by apoplexy he having been stricken dowu the Sat urday before. The funeral sermon was preached by the Kev. G. M. Coulter at the home at 10 o'clock Weduesday and the burial was in the Silver Creek ceme tery during the worst of tbat day's storm. The scare over a couple of light cases of small pox in Silver Creek, which were quarantined as reported in Sand last week, has turned out to be nothing but a scare after all . The cases were harm less in themselves and no new ones have developed. It is expected that the schools will be reopened next Monday, the quarantine on the Buchanan home be raised, and public meetings be held as usual. LKIOlI. From the World. A great many relatives, frieuds and neighbors followed the remains of "Grandpa Heine" lost Saturday after noon to the cemetery at St. Paul's Lutheran church about six miles south west of Leigh, where be was laid to rest Kev.
