Royal, Iowa. She has been expecting
we understand to go there and this
but gives her assurance of what she
wished to know.
Mis- Larsen, Uncle Sans faithful
servant at Elkhorn, and the dispen-
ser of fresh meat, has just finished a
neat built ice house and as.soon as the
opportunity presents itself he will
it for further use.
From the way farmers are talking
Axel Jensen, the manager of the
Kimballton Lumber Company, in
forms lis that as soon as the corn is
cribbed, there is good prospects for
some building being done.
Elkhorn and Kimballton still con.
tributes to the Texas sufferers and
send money or substantials every
week. The pupils about these places
have been generous and have given
literally to all these funds.
Rev. Wig returned home Friday
from Omaha where he has been in the
hospital undergoing an operation.
He is still quite weak but feels that
when he has fully recovered he will
be much stronger in health.
One day last week a wee small girl
came to the world, in the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John ,Esbeck. Such
innocence and joy and care as these
little messengers bring is evened up
only in the love that friends place il
the fond parents hearts.
Kimballton thought last week that
it had a tramp who was to be per-
manent fixture. He loafed IN first
one store and then the other; left in
beds the evidence of his filth, until
the people thought of turning him
over to the authorities when he again
disappeared.
Quite lot of excitement was Great
ed in Elkhorn Sunday when the team
belonging to Chris Jorgensen, who
lives north Of town, got loose and
ran about mile and a quarter before
they were stopped. Fortunately nc
serious damage was done to any one,
the team or the rig.
Niels Nelson, the landlord at TIL.
hotel was too i'll Monday to risk get.
ting out in the damp air. His asth.
ma is giving him serious trouble and
prevents him from getting his full
hours of rest at night. We hope
however. to again see him out and al
ischores as usual.
