A MINCE PIE DREAM AND OTHER
VERSES: BY Emily ID. Elton, +. r.
Herrick & Co.. New York. - cents. For
sale by George VI. West.
What "Mince Pie Dreams" are need
not be explained. Most of US have mad
them. The child public is indebted 10 this
writer of jingles which will please them
for the first poem In the book. wherein
is recited the experience Of n little boy
who having eaten too much pie. has
dreams of a wild ride up into the sky.
There is the natural complication. The
man in the moon catches the bride OF
his plunging steed, and he falls. and
keeps on falling. until he strikes his own
home
But what a shock, The roof fell in:
We all were crushed and dead;
And I woke up and found that |
Had fallen out of bed"
The rhvmes have the ring that catches
the chldren's ear. and are illustrated
cleverly by Blanche McManns.

Do the people OF Delta and Montrose

Who is profane.
Who drinks to excess.
Who holds intidel ideas.
Who ridicules the Bible and the church
VINO refuses as far as he can to aid
the public schools.
Who while he tails loud and long about
the peoples rights and Law and equity.
fails to show any public spirit in tint ad-
vancement OF home interests.
Who drives his cattle out OF his home
district to avoid paying the school tax.
Who has shown himself not in accord
with the two greatest factors in civiliza
tien the church and the school.
Who will produce excusas and ridicule
and not his past history to refute these
facts.

Will the voters Of the Seventh Judic-
ial district elevate to the high position
Of Judge . man Who is temperate in his
habits. clean in thought and speech and
who spends his evenings home with his
family. or man whose associates are OF
the saloon class. whose mouth 10 daily
defiled with oaths and obscene language
ard whose nights are spent in carousals.
This is a question that comes face to
face with the voters Of this district and
should be squarely met, especially by
the women voters by preference for
the temperate. clean. upright man. In
one more week the questions must be
decided. and we appeal to the people OF
Delta county to come out and assert their
manhood and womanhood and put the
stamp Of disapproval upon the candidacy
of any person who is not personally An
upright AMI right minded man.

A PLEASANT TRIP.
Through Elkhorn and KimbalItou


The first of the week we paid visit
which we had been anticipating for
some time to our friends in the beau
tiful little towns of Elkhorn and KIM
ballton. These towns are situated i'm
the best farming district in the state
and are populated by some of our best
and most successful farmers and is the
largest Danish settlement in America.
We left Extra in the morning and
drove directly west for ten or eleven
miles, past the substantial and thrifty
homes of L. =. Larsen and Jens Han
sen Oh one side, and the lovely new
home of George n. Christensen on
the other, and little farther on that
of his neighbor, N. L. Beck, catching
a glimpse in the distance of the new
Danish Lutheran Church which is al
most completed and of which Rev.
Gravengaard is the efficient pastor:
past the residence of j. u. Hansen
with it's neat outbuildings and we'll
kept orchard, and then, on and on, up
and down hills which seemed to us to
be never ending until we came to the
hospitable home of Chris Christensen
where we drove in and rested while
we enjoyed some fine grapes and a
little visit with Mrs. Christensen, then
on westward past the neat cottage of
G. w. Boysen until the town of Elk
horn came in sight, the church scarcely
visible for the dense grove surround
ing it, and the churchyard adjoining
dotted with white stones to mark the
last resting place of some gifts men,
bers, reminding one of some quaint
old picture of long ago.
The Elkhorn Danish Lutheran Col
lege adjoins the church and owns
thirty two acres of ground, the college
campus being very fine and beautiful
~ laid out. This college was founded
in the year 1878, and is a large and
commodious buildings in the rear OF
which is the dining hall and ladies
dormitory, the gymnasium 7Ox36 feet
being located just south of the dining
hall. The course of study is very COM
plete embracing English and Danish
Academic, Normal, Business, Musical
and Agricultural courses. The num-
Der of pupils enrolled for the fall and
winter term is over one hundred and
fifty. We are indebted to the courtesy

making their exit. They had cut a
large hole through the screen door
but their work was rather coarse.
Saturday afternoon while Clarence
Wilde and family were driving to
Audubon his team became frightened
and ran away. The buggy was upset
and the occupants thrown out, Mr..
Wilde sustaining a broken collar
bone. Mrs. Wilde and the baby es-
capped without injury.
DR.. Brooks, of Audubon, DR.
slamberg, Of Kimballton, and Dr..
Soc held Il consultation Monday in
regard to the case of Mrs. Peter
Lykke, who has been in very criti-
cal condition for several weeks. We
understand the lady underwent a
dangerous surgical operation Tues
day afternoon.
MARRIED.-At Marine, at high moor
Wednesday, Miss Lydia N. johnson
to Mr.. Frank johnson. The bride is
the accomplished daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Chris Nelson, who formerly
lived south of Elkhorn and is we'll and
favorably known here. The groom
IS prominent young, farmer from
Mlnden, kearney county, Nebraska

any investments. Paul was highly
pleased with his trip and thinks that
eventually he will go to that country
to live. The boys report quite
snowstorm in Montana and Wvom-
ing last week.
AS the hands of the old hall clock
pointed to the hour of mid day, on
Tuesday, September 20, 1898, Mr..
Ed. Cotton, son of Mrs. George Cot
ton, of Oakfield, stood in the presence
Of a few invited friends, and before
the man of God, at Port Jarves, New
York State, and promised to love,
honor and obey Miss Grace Caskey,
of that city, so long as they both
should live. Soon, now, they will be
sat home" to their many friends in
the city of Washington, d. c. Eds
many friends out this way wish him
and his newly made bride all manner
of good luck as they go trudging
adown life's pathway. And Just to
think, when Ed. left us few years
ago he was too bashful to talk to a
girl over telephone, and now he has
gone over on the other side of the
border line, and joined the benedicts.
Ward Smith has returned home
from the Preside Barracks, San Fran
cisco. He came back last Friday on
thirty days furlough. For three
weeks previous to his departure from
Camp Merritt he was in the regimen
tai hospital and is now suffering Of a
severe attack of bronchitis, though
still able to walk about. He looks
very thin and pale and has lost about
twenty five pounds in flesh. He says
he likes army life very much and
says he hopes he will be we'll enough
to rejoin his regiment and accompany
! it to Manila.
