From the Signal :
About three weeks ago Henry Jaix
en, while threshing, got a piece of
straw in one of his eyes. Since that
time the eye has caused him much in
convenience, and Tuesday he went to
Columbus and sought medical aid. It
was found that an abcess had formed,
but it will probably respond to treat
ment. Born, last Friday morning, to Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Cronin, a son. Tim
came up town shortly after the event
looking as though he wouldn't trade
places with anyone on earth.
After a sojourn of three weeks at
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Kamm, John Kamm returned
Monday to his home at Fresno, Calif
ornia. John is engaged in the gener
al merchandise business, and is very
enthusiastic about the west.
Acute inflamation of the stomach
and bowels caused the death last Mon
day of Edward Ivan, the eight-months
old baby of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Mc
Guane, at their home north of town.
The little one was taken ill the pre
vious Friday, but showed no alarming
symptoms until the day of its death.
The funeral was held from St. Joseph's
church Wednesday. Those from a
distance who were in attendance were
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Smith, Mrs. F.
S. Lecron and Mrs. Miles Costello, of
Columbus, Mrs. Dan Riordan, of Bea
ver Crossing, John Regan and two
daughters, Misses Nellie and Kittie,
of Omaha.

Robert Gentleman, sr., died at the
home of his son William, six miles
north east of Platte Center, at 1 :30
Wednesday afternoon. The cause of
his death wassinrply old age, although
he had been confined to his bed but
three weeks. Mr. Gentleman was
born in Ireland, but at an early age
came to Canada, where he lived -ttntil
1873, when with his children his
wife being dead he came to Platte
county and settled on the farm in
Grand Prairie township where he died.
Five children survive him, Robert, of
Platte Center, William, on the old
farm, N. J., of Kearney, Mrs. Savage
of Columbus, and Mrs. Boggs, of In
diana. The funeral will be conducted
Friday morning, at ten o'clock from
St. Joseph's church in Platte Center
and interment will be in the cemetery
here.
A distressing accident befell the
eighteen-months-old baby of Mr. and
Mrs. Leopold Siebler at their home
about three miles north-east of town
Saturday evening. Mr. Siebler was
returning from town and some of the
children ran down the road to meet
him and it is supposed that the baby
attempted to follow them. Some of
the older children, when Mr. Siebler
arrived home had just picked the baby
up in the road nearly in front of the
house; it was unconscious, one leg
was broken and there were several
bruises on its head and face. Adolph
and family had driven along the road
just ahead of Siebler and it is sup
posed that his carriage must have run
over the child, although the occupants
of the carriage neither saw nor heard
anfything unusual. At first it was
feared that the child was fatally in
jured, but it Has -regained conscious
ness and will probably recover with no
permanent injury.
stay in the hope that her health will
be improved. Mrs. Guettler's health
has been very poor for some time.
Several months ago she went to Oma
ha and submitted to an operation in
aa effort to find relief, but apparently
the operation did not do her much good.
The Democrat hopes that she will soon
return from Hot Springs with her
health fully restored..
Barney Pelle retrned home last Fri
day from Sioux City, Iowa, where he
had been for several weeks taking
treatment from a specialist for his ill
ness. Mr. Pelle could not see that
the treatment was doing him any good
after giving it a fair trial, so he con
cluded to come home and try something
else. Mr. Pelle's seems'to be a pecu
liar case and one which has so far
baffled the physicians, not one of them,
and he has seen a good many prominent
doctors in different parts of the country
seem to be able to tell what his ail
ment really is. In some respects his
ailment resembles rheumatism swell
ing and pain in the joints of his feet
and limbs. For several months his
condition has been such that he has
been compelled to use crutches in or
der to get around. The Democrat
hopes that Mr. Pelle will soon find a
treatment which will give him relief.
The Democrat has heard an inkling
of something new on the new C. & N.
W depot proposition, and it is to the
effect that the company is figuring on
changing the location of the depot
from its present site two blocks fur
ther west which would bring it on a
line with the street running down by
St. Francis church. This is simply a
rumor, however, and we give it to our
readers for what it is worth. This
change would in a way take the depot
two blocks farther away from town,
but the location, from the standpoint
of room and sanitary conditions, wuld
be far more desirable than the pres
ent location. It is time that the com
pany was doing something to comply
with the order of the railroad commis
sion, so it ought not be long before
we know something definite in regard
to what the company expects to do.
GENOA.
From the Leader:
Mr. and Mrs. Oakley Adams are in
the city visiting their Genoa relatives.
They are on their way to Artesian,
houth Dakota, where Oakley has pur
chased a bank.
The happiest mortal in Genoa at the
present time is Bob Kenfield, and his
rejoicing is caused by a visit of the
storks at his home Monday last. It's
a boy, a big bouncing boy and looks
just like his pa.
Because the editor of the Boone
County Advance is running around the
country hatless is not evidence that
he has become a freak. He foolishly
swore he would never wear a hat again
if Genoa ever heat St. Edward another
game of ball.
Vint Plummer of Gregory county,
South Dakota, has been visiting Kis
Genoa friends the past week. Vint
kicked to the Leader about the hot
winds that burned them out up in his
country this year, claiming they orig
inated in Nebraska. You are mis
taken, Vint, they came from kansas,
and were sent up in retaliation for
Col. Elas' blamed blizzards.
Mrs. S. L. Newman died at her home
in this city of rheumatism, on Monday
night last. Mrs. Newman had been in
her usual health until a few hours be
fore her death, when she was attacked
with rheumatism, which apparently
went to her heart causing her death.
The deceased leaves an aged husband
and several children to mourn her de
parture, and the Leader joins the en
tire comunity in offering sympathy to
the bereaved relatives.
We are called upon this week to
chronicle the death of Mrs. H. Comp
ton at her home in this city on Monday
evening last. Mrs. Compton has been
an invalid for several years from con
sumtpion which a residence in Arizona
failed to benefit. While her death
was not unexpected it caused a feeling
of sorrow to pervade the entire com
munity. The deceased leaves a hus
band and two children, Marjorie and
Byron. And the Leader joins the en
tire comunity in mourning with the
bereaved family. Funeral this Thurs
day morning and the remains will be
interred in the cemetery south of town.

From the Gazette:
A brand new baby boy brought con
siderable joy to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Brandenburg Friday morning of
last week. Ever since Will has been
stepping high.
We noticed Sunday that the corn
crop all along the river road in Butler
county leading to Columbus looks good,
and Julius Schram informs us that his
corn crop will be fully as good as
other years.
U. G. Nantkes and family, R. A'

family Joe McGaffin and family, Mrs.

family dined at the home of Walter
McGaffin and family, at Columbus, on
Sunday last.
Twenty years ago, says the Lincoln
Journal, a quarter section of land in
Butler county, belonging to Professor
McAlester was sold at auction by Jerry
Ford and brought $350. It was con
sidered a god price.
L. Henfling visited at the Sanitar
ium at Lincoln on Tuesday with Chris
Belsley, who is quite a little better.
Mr. Henfling visited him again on
Wednesday and reports him still rapid
ly improving which his friends will be
glad to learn.
F. H. Herriag, oar new iaplesaeat
man, narrowly averted a serious acci
dent Wednesday on the street runaing
past the St. Edward creamery. He
was attempting to torn his aatomobile
around and had reversed .the ear and
as it'raa backward be did not notice
the high bank which drops directly
from the road into the creek. The
car started down the incline before
Mr, Herringrealized the situation and
it was only by a speedy application of
the emergency brake that it was pre
vented from plunging down the em
bankment into the creek, which would
no doubt have resulted in a ruined car
as well as serious injury to Mr. Her
ring. This affair leads us to mention
that this particular strip of road has
always been regarded as dangerous and
it would no doubt be cheaper for the
town to have a fence pla ced there than
suffer a damage suit after an accident
had occurred.
Wednesday evening of last week
about half a dozen of young fellows,
whom we must reluctantly call citizens
of St. Edward proceeded to imbibe a
little of the ardent spirits than a citi
zen, or anyone else ought to partake
of, and had incurred the displeasure
of our village marshal by their dis
turbances. One Tom Hazlitt who was
a member of the gang, was arrested
and his trial set for last Saturday morn
ing. After his arrest he was released
from custody without being compelled
to furnish a bond for his appearance,
and like the noted Arab, when the time
came for his trial, it was discovered
that he had stole away in the wee
small hours of the night, leaving noth
ing behind but his creditors who will
charge their accounts to the profit and
loss column. The regular costs of
the trial must now be paid by the
town, as well as the cost of an attor
ney to proscecute the case and the at
torney for the defense will still re
main bankrupt, but after all we will
heave a great sigh of relief if the bird
which has flown will never find its
way back to its roost,

Use Of Odd Lengths.
The United States depatrment of ag
riculture has recently sent out the fol
lowing bulletin in regard to the use
and sale of odd lengths of lumber.
We believe that the bulletin is well
worth the perusal of our readers.
The investigtaion carried on last
year by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, cooperating with lumber
manufacturers in the south, to deter
mine the saving that can be effected
by using odd lengths of lumber as well
as even, has begun to Dear fruit. That
investigaion showed that a material
saving was practicable, and at a re
cent meeting of a southern lumber
manufacturers' association the fact
was brought out that a beginning has
been made by putting the new plan in
to piactice, mdjthat ai initiate in the
sale of odd lengths is anticipated for
the near future.
It was formerly the custom, and
generally is so still, to sell lumber in
even lengths only. Waste resulted
from cutting off the ends of odd lengths
to make them even. A considrable
percentage of a sawmill's output is
defective. That is boards have knot?,
decayed spots, or split ends, and the
defective parts are cut out. to make
an even length of what remains, it is
often necessary to cut off a foot of
good wood with the bad, and it is wast
ed. The practice of marketing odd
lengths as well as even is meant to
lessen this waste. The sale of odd
lengths of lumber will frequently les
sen the waste in the woods also; for
example, a log may be cut fifteen feet
long which, following the old custom,
would be cut only fourteen, and the
extra foot would be left in the woods.
The introduction of odd lengths meets
with opposition from many buidlers
who are prejudiced in favor of even
lengths simply because they have never
used any other kind Nevertheless,
there are many places in which odd
tenths are more economical than even
ones for instance, where nine-foot
studding is used. Following the for
mer custom, the ends must be cut
from even lengths to make the timbers
fit. Some manufacturers of flooring
successfully sell odd and even lengths,
thus lessening waste in the woods, at
the mill, and in the construction of
buildings.
