A Pioneer Gone,

In the death of John D. Gerver of Ger
yer precinct, which TRANSFERRED on Sunday
morning last, Red Willow county lost
n of her most aged citizens, an early
settler, and a sterling, successful farmer.
The deceased was one of the first to settle
in the precinct which bears his name,
and was IS years of age at his death. He
had been ailing for a number Of months,
from an accident which befe1 him, and
his passing away was not unexpected.
He served in the late rebellion in Co. I,
eSth regiment of Illinois infantry, and
was a member of J. K. Barnes post, G..
A. R., of our city, which attended the
funeral of their late comrade in a body.
Elder H. H. Berry conducted the services
in the Methodist church of this city on
Monday afternoon. The burial occurred
in Longview cemetery.

An Unusual Case.

The county commissioners are some
what disturbed over the course to pursue
in a case which presents itself for their
solution from over lear Danbury. It
appears that a few weeks since a mere
child of twelve summers, living in that
neighborhood, became a mother. The
author of the mischief, it is stated, is
willing to marry the girl, but the law of
Nebraska prohibits marrying at that age,
so the board is in quite a quandary. The
ofense is one which the p~enitentiary
yawns to satisfy. AS the child is liable
to become a county charge, the commits
sioners are required by law to secure a
bond for the support Of the same, SO that
the case is still further complicated. The
girl is the adopted daughter Of an old
couple, and the male in the case is the
hired hand in the family.

Her Suffering Ended.

Death entered the home of w. S. Ham
ilton, living three miles northwest Of
McCook, on the morning of the 24th and
claimed for its WI Mrs. Charlotte Ham
ilton, wife of w. S. Hamilton, at the age
of 46 years. She was born in the state
of Ohio and at the age of 20 years mar
ried the bereaved husband. Of this un-
ion there has been s children born, six
of whom are still living, two having pre-
coded the mother to the spirit land. She
with her husband came to this county
Is years ago and settled on a homestead
just east of where McCook now stands.
The hardships incident to early pioneer
life soon began to tell on her frail nature
and she soon succumbed to rheumatism
from which she has, for many years, been
a great sufferer, and for the last eight
years she had been a helpless invalid.
During these many long years she has
been the constant care and anxious So
licitude of the husband and children, and
perhaps this care and anxiety of loving
ones has more tenderly woven the heart
strings of affection around the hearts of
the family, that when death came to re-
lieve her of her sufferings they indeed
felt that "the golden cord" had been
broken. The funeral services were held
at the country home in the presence of a
large number Of sorrowing friends. The
remains were laid to rest in Longview
cemetery, there to sweetly sleep until
called forth to stand with the redeemed
in the beauties of a resurrected body. B.

Any man should be able to buy as
much with a dollar as his neighbor, but
he can't always do it. Determinations
not confined to corporations and mani
moth business institutions, but you will
find artists in that line in even the mod
est retail establishments ofthe west. And
it is too often the case that the dollar of
the man in easy circumstances has a
longer reach than the dollar of the man
whose fodder today represents the hard
labor of yesterday. Discrimination is
simply a genteel name for stealing.

Strictly for Cash..

The very unusual stringency in finan-
cial circles makes it absolutely necessary
for US to adopt a strictly cash basis on
which to conduct business in the future,
and we fondly hope that our many old
friends and customers will appreciate the
situation, which is imperative, and will
in the future give US their trade, as in the
past. We can save you money be selling
for cash, as we'll as protect ourselves.

Monday morning, Drs. Kay and Wal
tiers removed quite a bit of grass which
had become quite firmly imbedded in the
mucous membrane of J. c. Lenhart's
baby's throat. The operation was per
formed with some difficulty, as there were
two or three small pieces of a sand-bur
in the foreign substance removed. The
baby had evidently been eating grass and
the portion of sand-bur lodged it in the
little ones throat.

We hear it rumored that a petition is
being circulated in this county in the
interest of township organization, which
makes it comparatively clear to our mind
that the fool-ki1ler has anything but a
dull season ahead of him. Of all nonsen-
steal and extravagent ideas the township
organization fake, in counties of our pop
ulation, size and wealth, is the most abb
surd. Red Willow county should not

If You Want The Best.

ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck with
n but few failures in making cake and biscuit in
the old-fashioned way with soda and sour milk, or
soda and cream Of tartar, you will have better luck
and following directions) no failures with the Royal
Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you re-
member that in the leading hotels and restaurants,
and in the homes of our city cousins, where the latest
and best methods are invariably employed, and where
the most beautiful and dainty food is always set out
for the guests, the Royal Baking Powder is exclu-
sively used for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints; never
makes sour, soggy or husky food; never spoils good
materials; never leaves Jumps Of alkali in the biscuit
or cake; while all these things do happen with the
best of cooks who cling to the old-fashioned methods,
or who use other baking powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking Powder
is indispensable.

of the work is under the personal super

other departments of the school are grow
ing surprisingly, about fifteen new MEM
bers joining on last Sunday. The school
is having printed at Boston to their spec
ial order some of the most elegant mem
bership certificates ever issued in this

to be ready by next Sunday, and those
so fortunate to obtain n may well be
proud Of it. The school meets IN the

that the lessons are so interesting they
can hardly get through with them in one
hour.

favor by calling on or addressing Rev.
A. w. Coffman or J A.. Wilcox. This is
important and should receive prompt
attention from this people.
