Platte county to initiate the example of
Boone on the west and Dodge On the

August Schrader, the Divine Healer,
passed through Platte Center last We'd
nesdsy evening on his way to San Fran
cisco. Quite number Of our citizens
we're at the depot to get glimpse Of
this supposed wonderful man. He wore
religious looking blouse of dark color.

that resembled the one worn by our
Saviour, as generally seen in pictures
and this together with his exceedingly
pale countenance gave him q very sane
titled appearance. To q Signal reporter
Mr.. Schrader said that he could speak
all languages and loved all creede.
He prOfessed to he the same Divine
Healer who created such remarkable en-
thusiasm in Denver some two years ago,
at which time the mistaken impression
went abroad that his name was Schlat-

truth may be about Schrader and his
cures, he certainly possesses an appear
ance which has an awe-inspiring effect
on those who see or come in contact with
him.-Platte Center Signal.

pony in another. Mr.. Reed thought if
the State superintendent Of the Chill
dren's Home Society. Rev. E. P. Quivey,
could take the lad. and again place him
in home farther away from town,where
he would be from influence of bad boys,
and given another chance to make man
of himself, it would be better for the
