Frank z. Salmen has disposed of his
interest in the Manning Monitor to
his partner E. M. Funk. During the
time of his connection with the Mont.
tor, Mr. Salmen has been asuccess both
in the editorial and business depart
ment of the paper, and made many
friends among his patrons and among
the craft.
In a barber shop in a neighboring
town is sign "Whiskers Died Here"
And now it is said the hush of death
is upon that place of business. That's
about as rank as the haberdasher who
put out bulletin on which was in.
scribed these words "Hear our Shirt
Tales" Advertising is great art, as
both of these fellows found out.-Jef-
.ferSon Bee.
1t is reported that the Canada thistle
is making rapid incursions upon the
farms POttaWattamie and Shelby coun-
ties. The Sun has hot heard of it's ap-
pearance anywhere in Sac county. If,
by chance, it has obtained or does OBJ
tain a foothold here, speedy and con-
certed efforts should be made to exter-
inmate it, as provided in the new state
law.-Sdc Sun.
The person who furnishes items for
a newspaper is always valuable friend
to the editor. Many persons hesitate
about sending items to newspapers re-
garding movement of friends lest the
editor should think them anxious to
see their names in print. He will think
nothing of the kind but on the con-
trary he's always glad to get such items.
Many seemingly unimportant notes
when printed are news to large num-
Der of readers West Union Argo.
Ninety-six per cent of the men at
Jefferson are opposed to opening a le-
galized saloon. With such public
sentiment as that it is no wonder that
that city has experienced no difficulty
in enforcing the prohibitory law. 1t
doesn't require much nerve or money
or sacrifice to keep saloons out of such
townsville law enforces it's self-that
is to say the strength of public senti-
ment alone prevents men from under
taking to start saloons.- Rapids

A Philadelphia girl is so modest that
she will not go to bed while the Chris
tian Observer is in the room. A Tabor
Seminary girl declines to walk up
steep hill for fear her breath will come
in short pants. A Hamburg maiden
refuses to wear chatelain chain
watch attached to her person because
the watch has hands. An Emerson
girl locks herself in her room every
time she hears a brass band approach
ing. She VOWS she will never look at
any drum major who parades in his
bear skin.-C0Sey Tindicator.
The Tabor & Northern is railway
nine miles in length, doing business in
Fremont comfy. There is nothing so
remarkable about this road except it's
facilities for accommodations. Not
long ago the passengers became
thirsty while enroute from one town to
another. The engineer became aware
of the fact and stopped his train and
he, in company with the crowd, went
to farm house near by and Stacked
their thirst with drauth from the "old
oaken bucket" 1t is also stated by
good authority that on another occa.
sion last summer the train was STOP
ped and passengers and all partook of
a splendid feast of watermelon kindly
furnished by farmer.-Manntng Free

Last week, Tuesday, the electric
light plant at Perry was completely
destroyed by the bursting of the boiler.
Manager Hook, owner of the plant re-
ceived injuries, which resulted in death.
Concerning the explosion the Per7y
CHEF says: "Words cannot describe
the scene. We never beheld such a
complete wreck before. What was
once the electric light and water works
plant, the pride of our city, was thoro-
ughly demolished. The top of the
smoke stack was blown into Mr.. Pat
tees pasture, three hundred feet away.
The roof was torn into sections, lifted
high into the air, and scattered. Shaft
ing rods, machinery pipes and bricks
filled the air, while smoke and SCOT
from the boiler flues made the atmos-
phere resemble small cyclone. A
part Of the ruins took fire but there
was not enough material left in one
spot to make much of q fire."
Certain parties on Saturday illustrat-
ed how easily people can be humbugged
on the making business. THEW
