The JOURNAL erred last week in
saying that the Misses Louisa Jensen
and Anna Gregersen had departed
for Omaha. They are now at the
home of the latter, west of Hamlin
station, and will not leave for the
Trans-M issippi City until next week.
For forty days and forty nights
the N. A. Wright family at Kim
ballton have been closed up under
the small pox quarantine regulations,
and on Tuesday Township Clerk
Marcusen took down the quarantine
sign and released them. They are
much elated over being " turned
loose" and Nick says he is still in
time to get in his crop.
Esbeck Bros. are this week putting
in new safe at their store at kim
ballton. 1t weighs 25O0 pounds and
is burglar proof with the accent on
the burglar. 1t will be remembered
that the old safe was somewhat de-
molished by Crackers about two
months ago and thus rendered unfit
for service. The robbers have not
yet been apprehended.
At a business meeting of the Danish
Lutheran church Of Elkhorn held
Monday afternoon, Rev. P. S. Wig.

Rev. Wig is at present president of

of the Elkhorn college. He is
fluent speaker and has a large circle
of friends here.
A big business change took place
at Kimballton this week. Hans

sisting Of lots, residence and store
building to Postmaster Hans Madsen.
Mr.. Marquesen will continue in bust
ness until August LIST, when Mr..
Madsen will take possession and pur-
chase the remainder Of the stock.
We understand that the papers for
the big deal were drawn up Monday
afternoon.
| S. c. Petersen, of Elkhorn, was in
Omaha on business Saturday. He
reports having seen Ole Olesen at the
hospital who had that morning un-
derwent surgical operation success
fully. The surgeons did not find it
necessary to amputate his foot but
simply removed a small piece of bone
from his ankle. They stated that he
would be able to return home in two
or three weeks. This will be glad
tidings to Ole's many friends here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rasmus Hansen cele-
brated their 25th wedding anniver-
sary Tuesday afternoon. A company
OF relatives and close friends were
present to make the event an enjoya-
BILE one and to add their hearty con-
CALCULATIONS. The bridal couple re-
ceived some very elegant and useful
presents as tokens of the respect and
esteem in which they are held by the
people of Elkhorn and vicinity.
Among the gifts was handsome
parlor set presented by the business
men of Ellhorn. For quarter of a
century Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen have
trod LIES uneven journey side by
side; and now as they have settled
down to enjoy the blessings of a long
and happy union, may Dame Fortune
to them be kind and the good things
that come their way be many.
