The youngest registered pharmacist in
the state now lives in Norfolk and his
name is Charles A. Madsen, with Geo.
B. Christoph. On August 9 he was eX-
amined before the state board of phar-
macy in Omaha, being the youngest of
class of 81. Today he received his di-
ploma certifying that he had passed and
emitting him to practice pharmacy
When it is remembered that Charlie is but
10 years old and that out of the whole
class examined at the time he was, only
five or six were able to answer sutfi-
cient number of questions propounded
to entitle them to receive diplomas, the
fact that he passed may be considered

was sent for and after being treated
with it the animal temperature became
very high, conclusively demonstrating
that she had the disease. The owner
might have sold her, as she appeared in
excellent condition, but he ordered her
shot, which was done. This is the dis.

Coin Haryey's evening meeting was
fairly we'll attended, but when is
taken into consideration the vast amount
of effort that was put into making the
meeting the greatest thing that ever
happened in this section of the world,
the result must have been rather disap'

tickets of admission to the hall and a

for farmers, but when it was found that
these were not likely to be occupied
