Mr.. III. Strong was in town Saturday
making arrangements preparatory to
his permanent coming on the LIST of
May to take charge of the Park Hotel.

fever this winter and Is so reduced In
avoirdupois as to puzzle his friends
when they meet him. The effects are
still bothering him, but he expects
great benefits from the spring weather.
VIM. Mallory and John Jay were In
Omaha last Friday and attended the
state convention of Nebraska demo-
Gratis. Our William was Boyd demo-
crat in Omaha and really had better
all around time than he enjoyed at the
first inauguration Of Gov. Boies. DE.
mocracy is of the more pronounced,
rampant type in Omaha than in Des
Moines, and to any or all of these the
chairman of this county is wonderfully
and easily adapted.
The liquors seized in John Dunn's ,
place and tried before Justice Myers
week ago Monday were condemned to
obstruction by the justice. Sheriff ,
Armstrong spilled the contents Of the
eleven cases out on mother earth, and
the bubbling gurgle Of the stuff as 1t
poured through the long necks meant
disappointment to many thirsty people.
While Deputy Sheriff Armstrong was
carrying case, which was uncovered,
bottle exploded and piece of glass
was EMBEDDED in his chin, 30 that the
attention of the doctor was required to
bring relief. The spirit in this bottle
was certainly strong enough to cause
excitement in the human stomach. 1t
is probable that the verdict by Justice
Myers will warrant proceedings in the
district court.
w. w. Smith, who for nine years has
been station agent at this place, receiv-
ed word last Thursday, to report at
Des Moines. He went down on No. 4,
thinking, perhaps, that he was going to
follow in the steps of his predecessors
and get the grand bounce. AS the re-
cords show that every station agent
from the establishment of the town up
to Smiths time, has been discharged.
But, 10 a happy surprise was await
ing him. When he reported at the gen.
eral Office, he was told by supt. Fox
that he could make ready-to move to
Audubon. This promotion is compli-
ment worthily bestowed, for Mr.. Smith
is an ideal station agent. Always
courteous and ob!iging and attending
strictly to business. Mrs. Smith and /
the children went TO Atlantic Tuesday
morning, where they will remain for q
short time with Mrs. Smiths parents.
Mr.. Smith left on the canon ball Tues
day evening They leave many friends
here who, while they regret their de.
parture rejoice In their good fortune in
securing so pleasant and profitable
change.-Casey Vindicator.
The city council in the capacity of
the board of health held special meet;
ing Tuesday evening to devise ways
and means of eradioating if possible
the epidemic of scarlet fever that has
been apparent in the community for
several months. The disease is not in
an aggravated form. No death has re-
suited from it, neither have the bad
effects, which so often attend, been ap-
parent. Many children with unmis.
takeable signs of the disease have not
