Little James Fiala had eight pink

boyish heart; but they are no more, as
on Wednesday night some of the numer

the pen where the pets were kept and
killed every one of them.
While playing with some children on

little Sylvin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. W. Sindelar, got the end of the

years old the gritty little girl wasted no
time crying but hurried home; Dr.

necessary to take the finger off at the
first joint.

Every indication points to the fact that
the freeze on the last night in April and
first night in May did not hurt the fruit
crop in this vicinity. Apple, cherry
and plum trees are fairly groaniug un
derneath their load of blooms. In
many places apples and cherries are
formed on the trees and are bb large as
peas. Undoubtedly the crop will be a
prolific one. Every "mother s eon" and
"mother's daughter" Bhould make an ef
fort this year to double their canning
supplies. Next year the fruit crop may
go a-glimmcring. Let us make "liny

There will be no graduation exercises
for Monroe schools thiB year, the board
of education deciding on this course at
their meeting Monday. The cause for
this action was the strong sentiment in
favor of adding another year, making a
twelve year course, and in view of this
being done at the school meeting the
graduation exercises would be out of
place. Miss Hazel Englcman, who was
elected primary teacher, has resigjtad
and will remain another year at Carre,
Neb., the board at that place giving her
a raise in salary. This leaves two vacan
cies to be tilled assistant principal and
primary, but there is a prospect that the
former position will be filled soon.
Last week the newly elected village
board organized for the coming year by
re-electing H. J. Hill chairman and L.
Franklin, clerk. Chae. McWilliams waa
appointed treasurer. But one commit
tee was announced by the chairman,
that of streets and grades, which is com
posed of Wm. Siega and John Gibbon.
The committee bad its work maped out
for it in advance, as there was consider
able work to be done on the streets,
and this week, under their direction,
Messrs. Reed and Growcock are doing
some needed grading on the main streets
using a traction engine. At the next
meeting of the board Chairman Hill will
announce the remainder of the com
mittee. In order to avoid a possible accident
the village board hare ordered the old
well on the south side of street filled up,
and the pump has been taken out. This
was the first fire protection Monroe
boasted of, and was put in shortly after
the town was incorporated following
the two elevator fires in 1899. The vil
lage board got plenty of criticism for put
ting in the well and many ridiculed it as
a means of fire protection, but the wis
dom of placing it there was shown a few
years later when the building now oc
cupied by Dr. Bates caught fire in such
a manner that a bucket brigade would
have been helpless, and the well was re
sponsible for not only saving it, bnt the
entire business portion of the village.
CENTRAL CITY.
From tho Nonpareil.
Will Farrand arrived the latter part of
last week to be associated with hiB father
in the management of the store here.
His wife, who iB visiting in Omaha at
present, will join him in a short time.
Mr. Farrand has been principal of the
schools at Koo6kia. Idaho, for the past
year.
Wm. Bannister changed bis mind
Monday when his son Harry waa arraign
ed on the charge of breaking the peace
and informed County Attorney Boas and
County Judge Peterson that he would
not press the charge. In a fit of temper
last week Harry cut to pieces a $15 har
ness belonging to hiB father and also
threatened to do him great bodily in
jury. Peace has evidently been restored
in the family, judging by the withdrawal
of the complaint. The young man was
released by the court.
Later reports, based on investigations
made since the effects of the frost of last
week have been measured, indicate that
there will be more fruit than was ex
pected. It hardly seemed possible that
fruit blossoms could survive such a
freeze but it appears that Jack Frost
will have to make another farewell tour
if he wants to get all of it. Many trees
were protected and many of the blos
soms had not yet come out. Barring
another freeze, therefore, it is still safe
to prophesy that there will be a crop
of fruit.
Before Elden Uuxford crawls under
another sulky plow to -attach the share
to the moleboard he will sec to it that
the plow is blocked up so securely that
a mule couldn't kick it over. Tuesday
afternoon he was engaged at this sort of
a job when the plow slipped in some
manner, permitting the share to strike
him across tho right cheek. Just what
prevented him from getting a worse cut
he doesn't know but as it was he receiv
ed a wound that he will remember for a
long time, a gash two or three inches in
length being cut across his face.

Why CapitoJa lurn.
Pennsylvania has bad a capltol
burn. Only a few weeks ago the Mis
souri Capitol was burned, involving
the destruction of a great mass of ex
teremely valuable historical material.
A fear years ago the Wisconsin Cap
itol was destroyed by Are, and there
also were consumed historical records
of the greatest interest. Now the New
York Capitol has been fire-swept and
the State Library, which Included one
of the most valuable historical col
lections In the country, has been de
stroyed. State capitals ought to be
among the safest of structures. They
are very expensive, and yet they seem
to be rather subject to fires, and fires
started therein burn with astonishing
rapidity. We fear there is too much
political contract work in them. Phil

Missed Opportunity.
People who think It impossible to
