kIPLING ON THE BEAR.

The title of Mir. Kipling's poem in the
coming number of Literature is The
Truce Of the Bear" and has for its sub
ject the Cars recent proclamation in
behalf of universal disarmament. and
for its motto, There is no truce with
AdIm-Zad-Jhe bear that walks like a
man" Mr.. Kipling distrusts the motive
that inspired the Cars document and
he shows it in quite a characteristic way
by telling The following story of the
hunter, VINO forbore 10 kill the bear:
Horrible, Hairy. human, with paw-like hands in

That is the time of peril-the time OF the truce

1t is an interesting and significant fact
that there is not Republican newspaper
in the country that has an approving word
for the Alger Relief Commission. They
are restrained by sense of hopelessness
of persuading anybody that the purpose
of the Commission is to get at the truth.
There is but one newspaper that makes
an editorial defense of it, and that is the
local whitewash organ.

Peter johnson and family of north
east Sharon township, were visiting
friends near Marine couple OF days
last week.
Charley Wright was out on a
sightseeing expedition northeast of
Kimballton. We understand he is
looking after valuable interests in
Sweden.
So rapidly is business increasing at
the Elkhorn furniture store that Mr..
Nels Jensen has decided to build an
addition to the store at once, We
are glad to know OF Nels' prosperity.
Rasmus Hansen, who went out of
business here last week, has decided
to remain here this year and turn his
undivided attention to his farm near
Elkhorn. He will at once begin the
construction of large barn for his
horses and cattle of which he has
more than few.
Mrs. A. P. Fredericksen died at
her home two miles southwest of
Elkhorn last Wednesday afternoon.
Some time ago she underwent a sur
gical operation at Omaha whereby
two tumors were removed from the
abdomen. Although the operation
proved successful her remaining
strength was insufficient to carry her
through to restored health and passed
away to the light of a better world.

On Tuesday, February 1, 1898, at
the home, in south Extra township,
Mr.. S. N. Harter passed from the
earth life to the realms of the blessed,
in heaven. Mr.. Harter had been in
poor health for long time, and by
lspells was great sufferer. Through
it all he passed with patient resigna-
ton, knowing these ills and pains will
give place to the Haven of Rest where
sorrow never enters. Mr.. Harter was
born in Center county, Pennsylvania
on February IA, 1916. On February
9, 1889, he married Mary Wolf. The
fruits of this marriage was six child
rem, two of whom and their mother

two daughters are living in Pennsyl-
vania, daughter, MRS. Barber, at
Kirkman, Iowa, and john Harter, of
Audubon county. Mrs. Barber and
Mr.. Harter were present at the funer-
al. In 1874, February 22d, Mr.. Har-
ter was married to Miss Maggie A.
Heis, who survives him. OF this
marriage one child was born, Mabel,
who was also present at her fathers
bedside at the time of his death. The
funeral was held, at the home, on
Thursday, February Sd, at one O'Clock,
Rev. NJ. Buzzard conducted the funer-
al services, assisted by w. III. Brinker-
hoff. A large concourse Of neighbors
and friends were in attendance. Mr..
Harter came to Audubon county on
April 10, 1860, and had made this
county his home ever since. He was
a devout, conscientious Christian,
joining the Evangelical church at the
age Of eighteen years, and during the
sixty-four years of his Christian life
he remained true to the church of his
early choice. Mr.. Harter prided him
self on keeping his word when given,
and was truly an honest man. Thus
