Word comes from Columbia that John Liindgreu who recently had an ipfraiioti performed at the hospital there is slowly improving. Mrs. Lund guMi is still m Columbus. Although he was not feeling er, hun gry hist Sunday, it being Easter, .lohn .Simdeis thought it to be hm bouuden duty to stow away a few hen's ugs. To whet his appetite he started in with live raw ones, and then set a cook to work and cleaned up the rest of the supply on hand, which was only a little matter of 13 more, making 1 dozen in all. He was on hand for the next meal as usual. About i o'clock Thursday afternoon Win. Kilcy was coming to town with a load of baled hay to put in a car which la- was helping .les.-. Gilmore to load. When about the Murray farm a freight train passed him and pretty soon he dis covered that the hay under him was afiie. He kicked a few bales of hay off to fee if he could not fctop the lire, but it. was impossible. Then he started into hum: the team and succeeded, but purl of the harnees was burned before begot the hoieei; loose. The loss fools up to about 2 tons of hay, a wagou, a new hay rack and purl of the harness cii:na. rrmii tlmTiiiipF. An exchange publishes the following tioiuv: "Married at Filmtoin by Kcv.

Miss Adda Keeton of Columbus, who was elected assistant principal of the Monroe schools by the board of educa tion, will not accept the position, as ehe has decided not to teach the coming year She was offered her present posi tion in the Columbus school, for the coming year, but declined it. One of the first matters to be taken up by the new village board, which will onrinv.e the lirst Monday in May, will be the roulatmg of the stacking of hay and straw, ect., in the village limits. During the winter just passed there have been several elose calls from lire owing to ihis practice, and a resolution oi ordinance covering this will be passed so that ull may have ample time to make arrangements before the cold weather next fall Aud in this connection it is understood that the board will order a general cleaning up of all the streets aud alleys during the coming month. l'LATTB CENTKIt Fioiu (lie Signal. Invitations are out for the marriuge of Minnie Peterson and Mr. Chas Gros mcklaus which will occur April 2t!th, at the German Lutheran church, northeast of town. Edward and Fred Henggler, who have been making their home with their bis ter, Mrs. Joe Schumacher, and attending the paiochial school since last Septem ber, returned last Saturday to their home .it Stockville, Neb Last Saturday Bertha, the six year old dati'hler of Mr. aud Mrs. P. L. Ungeiiian, got so close to a pile of burn ing rubbish that her drees caught lire. Prompt work saved the child from being burned, but Mr. Hagennan'o hands re ceived some painful burns. S W. Glea6on, who went to Hot Springs. Arkansas, about live weeks ago, accompanied by his son William, arrived home Wednesday morning. The trip was made for the purpose of taking treatment for rheumatism which bad troubled Mr. Glcoson for some time. He cuiiHS back apparently but little be nefitted. Leslie, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Etl Jones, while walking across the dam back of the water works plant, across Elm creek, fell off the plank last Satur day and broke his left arm between the wrist and elbow. Boys, and some of them good sized ones, take plenty of chances atound that dam, and it is a wonder that something worse than this has not happened before now. After a sojourn for the past three months at the home of her sister ami brother-in-law Mr. and Mre. William l'runkeu. at Lahoma, Oklahoma. Miss Cecelia Peterson returned home hist Saturday evening. Miss Peterson le j.or:s the Brunken family enjoying good he.dtli and ns well pleased with their new hiftlion in Oklahoma.

The couuty board of supervisors yes terday afternoon fired the opening gun in the campaign for a new court house for Merrick county when they unani mously adopted a resolution calling a special election for May 31 to vote $100,000 bonds for the purpose. A handsome granite monument is to mark the old "lone tree." This week the monument ordered by the county board of supervisors arrived and was placed in position under the direction of the Deech Marble Works, through whom it was ordered. The big stone is now in position, but no ceremony attended its placing. That feature of the marking of the historic site will follow later. Sheriff Her was called to the Kingston homo west of town Sunday evening to take into custody the aged mother of John Nobity who had wandered from the home.of her son during the after noon. Mr. Her brought the woman to town and later Mr. Nobity called for her and look her home. She is ninety years of age and unless clo&ely watched is liable to wander from home. Although ninety years old she walked the entire distance from the Nobity place to the Kingston farm, a distance of sis miles. Herman Becker, of Grand Island, paid $100 last week to the parents of Cecil Brayton, a little boy whom he ran over with his auto a couple of weeks ago while on a trip to Buffalo county. The money was paid voluntarily, but a friendly suit was brought in the district court of Buffalo connty to ratify the settlement. It was agreed by all parties that the death of the boy was the result of an accident, but from the first Mr. Becker showed his willingness to make ull the amends possible for the sad affair. Mrs. D. H Burke met with a peculiar mishap Saturday evening while driving home from town. The Stromsbnrg local passed them while they wtre driving along the road, which runs by the side of the track. A bpark from the engine ulighted in Mrs. Burke's hat and the trimmings were soon on lire. Her daughter noticed the liames and cried out iu alarm. Mrs. Burke had some difficulty in removing the hat pins so she could get the hat off, hut Gnally succeeded in gotting the bonnet off be fore the liames had done any consider able damage. It looked for a moment, however, as if she would be severely burned. Fortunately she had just pur chased a new Easter bonnet so she was not compelled to go to church the next morning without one. SCUUYLKU. From lli Sun. Last Tuesday William liaudall feli from the roof of Wallen Cameron's house aud broke his collar bone also cracked a couple of ribs and sustained other body bruises. Mr. Cameron is having his house remodelled and William is doing the work. When getting down from the roof he stepped ou a 2 by 8 which tilted with him, letting him fall violently to the ground. Friday morning of last week word with received here from Clarkson of the shooting of Adolph P. Filipi of Clark sou . About nine o'clock in the morning he was fouud dead oti the road leading from Clarkson with a shot gun laying near by. The coroner was called for to investigate be being out of town, Sheriff Kundle went up and held an in quest. The jury found that Filipi came to his death by h gun shot wound from nn unknown cause. It could not be de finitely determined whether he commit ted suicide or met with an accident. Some time ago we mentioned iu the columns of this paper a ceitain hole north of Schuyler that m of interest to the archaeologists. Mr. Odder, of the Omaha World-Herald, has sent us the following description taken from Major Long's book: "Near this stream we ex amined n great excavatiou in the brow of a bluff to which the name 'Pawnee Medicine' has been applied in consequen ce of its being an object of superstitious reverence to the people of that nation . It is evidently an artificial work and the product of much labor being about 300 feet long and 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The origin and object is involved in mystery and the Pawnees cannot at this date 1S20 give any rational history of it. Au entire nation may have here defied the efforts of tome army of an extensive coalition "' Taking their map showing where they crossed Shell creek this point should be iu a straight line north from Schuyler. That is to say if you drew a line directly north of Schuy ler that line's intersection with Shell creek would show where the crossing was made and the excavation must have been in that neighborhood. It would be a good idea if farmers in that locality were interviewed about this excavation. Perhaps they have seen it and have thought it was a natural hole. FOR DISPEPSIA.

From the Democrat Sunday evening while returning from a neighbors in the north part of town, two Humphrey ladies were stopped by four men who after using the most in sulting language to ihcm threw some burning lluid in their fares. The women made their escape into a resi dence nearby and the gang after swear ing vilely at them passed on. The Indies did not recognize any of the meu and it is thought they are some of the trausieut hoodlums that have infested tbo town lately. Several instances have been re ported lately of women being f rigbtcued by unknown miscreants. Carl Wellbausen met with a peculiar accident Sunday evening while engaged in a friendly souffle on the street with Lew Elder. While the men were scuttling Elder's fist came in contact with WeUbausen's face with the result that the cheek bone was broken in three places near the eye cavity. The acci dent was not noticed at first, but during the night Carl suffered intense pain from the fracture so the uext morning he, Dr. Leaf ar and John Eckbolt went to Columbus to the hospital in the latter s automobile. After having bis face fixed up in proper shape Carl re tamed home that day and is now re covering nicely. lfrs.Rohartch an elderly lady who lives east of town met with a severe ac cident Monday evening, while driving to town with one of ber sons. While going over a crossing one of the lines became unfastened and the horses started to tarn around. Mrs. Rohartch jumped oat of the baggy safely but in attempt ing to fasten the line was lucked in the shoulder blade and arm by the frighten ed horse and sustained a double frac ture. Mrs. ltobartch was then brought to town and taken to the Columbus hospital on the freight, where she has since remained. News from there says that her arm and shoulder arc still so badly swollen that the physicians find it impossible to reduce the fracture, bat it is to be hoped that this condition will not last long. BELIiWOOD. From the Gazette. The section boss and his force of men are at work this week extending the platform at the depot south, which is an improvement that has been greatly needed for a long time, Ueretofote passengers when alighting from the rear car, imagined that they were getting off into a potato patch. Bruce Hower, three-year-old sou of Mr. aud Mrs. Ilarvcy Hower of Polk county, while following his father in the field one day last week fell into burning cornstalks. His limbs were literally roasted before relief reached him. Death resulted in a few hours. Uib father was burning corn stalks in the field when the accident occurred. Olga Janda, the eight-year'-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Janda, or Wil der, Neb., was accidentally shot and in stantly killed Sunday morning last about 7 o'clock by her brother, who h about IU years old. The boy was load ing a rille to kill a ground mole, and was putting a cartridge into the rille, having the hummer up, when the charge went off, hitting the girl in the forehead just above the eye. The father of the chil dren is a laboring mau and lives in the southwest part of town. This is another warning to parents to keep guns away from their children until they know how to handle them. Monday afternoon about -1 o'clock lire consumed the barn belonging to Eli as Eberly, northeast of ilellwood. Luther Buffalo, who has been working the Eberly farm fur a year or more, lost three head of horses in the lire, two calves, all bis corn crop, all his oat crop and about twenty tonB of hay. In all Luther's loss is about $1,200, which is a hard blow on him, as he did not have a cent of insurance on anything. Luther, we learn, was burning corn stalks south of the barn beyond a little bill, and did notsectb'! fire until the building was about to fall in, neither did any of the family. Mr. Eberly's loss on the barn is about $1,000, on which he has a small in surance. NO REASON FOR DOUBT. A Statement of Facts Backed by a Strong Guarantee.

On the morulas of April 18. 1906, the 'cellar of Paul Maaeon, a wine merchant of San Jose. Cal., contained a stock of 125.050 bottles, all neatly arranged. Then came the earthquake, and when the proprietor was able to enter his cellar again he found that 82.458 bottles, by actual count were brok en and the remainder thrown about in the wildest confusion. It Is curious, with such a large number of bottles, that the quake should hare come within a few doses of demolishing an exact half of the stock.
