QUIET AT PANAMA.
Definite News Received From Colon
Regarding the Revolution.

The peaceable condition of affairs on
the Isthmus of Panama, from which re-

The most authoritative results of in

formation: There is no appearance of
an organized insurgent force in the vi

unfounded that United States property
is in need of assistance. All quiet here.

The dog reception given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Lehr at their Newport home
was hardly the success it had been hoped
II would be, as many who had been in
vited failed to appear. There were only
two men present. Mcssrs. Creighton Webb
and James Van Allen. The host and
hostess had prepared for the dogs and
special table had been set for them under
a small tent on the lawn. The owners
had the greatest difficulty in reconciling
the dogs to their surroundings, and it
was some time before order was restored,
one or two of the dogs having a special
antipathy for each other, and it was with
difficulty they were prevented from break
ing UP the party in a row. The dogs had
on fancy collars with bells and toby hats
and were arranged on stools around the
low table. The table was piled with dog
breads and sweets, but as they were po-
htely brought up dogs they ate very spar
ingly. Their mistresses Were seated at
tables near by, but they We're so engrossed
in their labors of keeping the doggies
from eating each ether that the delica-
cies provided for them were left almost
untouched. After the luncheon the bet
ter trained of the dogs Were pat through
a series of exercises such as jumping,
standing on their hind legs and waltzng
and other tricks. The most obstreperous
pups were the terrier of Mrs. Belmont and
pug of Mrs Burke Roche, which insisted
upon mixing up things until finally they
had to be kept apart to ensure the con-
tinuance of the reception. There were
prizes for the dogs consisting of fancy
collars, bells, and embroidered blankets.

ssUncle TOMS Cabin" and the south.
Possibly the most general conception
of the old life at the south held by the
rest of the country is that drawn from
Uncle Toms Cabin" a work which,
whatever it's truth in detail-and there
was doubtless much truth-yet by rea-
son of its omissions and it's grouping
contained even more untruth as cor
rect picture of civilization, says
Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic.
AS an argument against the evils in
herent in slavery it was unanswerable;
as presentation of the life it under
took to mirror it was rather piece of
emotional fiction, infused With the spir-
it of an able and sincere but only par
TALLY informed partisan, than correct
reflection. 1t served purpose far be-
yond the dream and possibly even the
intention of its author. 1t did much to
hasten the overthrow of slavery. 1t
did no less to stain the reputation Of
the south : and obscure what was

Peter Larsen, who used to work for
Chris Hansen, in Elkhorn, began on
Monday to work for r. P. Larsen in
the harness shop, in Kimballton. The
shop is getting all and even more
than it can do.
George Christensen, who built
south OF Kimballton, this fall moved
into the place this week. He has a
painter there giving beautiful COL
oring to the house which shows 1t of
as we'll as any house in the country.
Hans G. Madsen and lady friend
and Chris Moulgaard and sister, Miss
Anna, from Kimballton drove up to
Elkhorn, last Sunday, and spent the
day at the hospitable home of A.
Bergreen, postmaster for the latter
city.
Rev. Knudsen, of Nystad, Nebras-
ka, is billed to preach in Kimballton
next Sunday at half past ten in the
morning and at two in the afternoon.
He has the reputation of being good
speaker and will likely give two good
addresses.
N. P. Olsen, who has been in and
around Elkhorn all summer carpen-
tering and working, has decided to 60
to his home, at West Branch, to visit
with his parents and friends. He has
made many friends here and they
rather hate to see him depart.
There was meeting of the business
men of Kimballton, Monday night,
to consider ways and means of fixing
up system of water works for the
town. 1t is a good move and we hope
that next week we can tell 1t has all
been fixed up right.
Ole Madsen, living west of Elkhorn,
is talking strongly Of selling his fine
farm and going back to Denmark to
live. His friends hate to think of him
doing such a thing yet they believe
he will again be back here as he has
left several times but yet always gets
back.
Last Thursday quite a number of
people gathered at the pleasant home
of Hans johnson, just north of Kim
ballton, last Sunday and helped him
to befittingly celebrate his fiftieth
birthday. He is a man that holds his
youth well as few people would take
him to be near that age.
Hans G. Madsen, the jeweler at
kimballton, consumated a deal the
first of the week in which he became
the possessor Of the home of Hans
Madsen and also the store building
now used as furniture store. Have
not heard yet if Hans wants to rent
the place but don't believe he does?

Hans Madsen, Kimballton's furni-
ture man, has the frame work up for
his new building and is rushing it to
an early completion.
S. G. Petersen, the implement man
from Elkhorn, and his family, went
to Harlan last Sunday to visit with
Editor Hansen, of the American.
Quite number of the young peo-
pie from around Kimballton were
over by Harlan, last Thursday, to
help them dedicate their new barn.
The share holders of the Kimball-
ton Lumber Company met last Satur-
day and looked over the books of
Manager Axel Jensen and found them
all right.
Quite number of young people of
Kimballton went out to the home of
Chris Petersen, sou th-west of town,
last Sunday and report a most enjoy
able time.
Jocum Jensen, the merchant from
Jacksonville, was over to Kimballton
last Monday to see how his carpenters
were progressing on his many i'm
provements.
Mrs. Anna Jorgensen, up north of
Kimballton, is the proud mother of a
big boy baby that came to her home
last Wednesday to cheer by his laugh
ter and glee.
Many people lost money during the
rush at the fire, last Friday. Miller,
the photographer, lost a ten dollar
bill, but that was found. Others could
not tell how much they lost.
Clarence Jacobs, who recently sold
his farm west Of Kimballton, drove
up by Fiscus and Immediately pur-
chased a 240-acre farm for $50 90 per
acre, having received $61 90 for his.

Mis- Larsen has gone to work to put
up new butcher shop on his own
lot, on the east side of the street. He
purchased Monday morning the old
home on the corner by Jens Soe's new
building and then began leveling off
the ground, preparatory to moving to
his lot. He is hustler for in the fire
his large cooler was moved out, it was
but few hours Saturday evening I'M
til he had his meat market running.
Last Thursday, Rev. Wig was for
ty-nine years old and a part of his
congregation gathered at his home
and passed few hours. When they
retired they left as pleasant memory
a rocking chair in which, when age
greys his locks and his form, is bent
in infirmity he may soothe his pains
in the easy motion and the lulling
sense of loving friends. They also left
a lamp to light his way in darkness
in return for the light of truth he
holds for all Of them.
Last Friday evening about half past
six the cry of fire rang out upon the
breeze, in Elkhorn, startling everyone
from their meals to the scene of the
beginning devastation. The town peo-
pie all rushed to the barber shop and
pool room of Jimmie Petersen where
smoke was seen to be issuing from all
sides. Soon the loud, wild ringing of
the church bell told the people that
something was wrong and they came
rushing to the scene. Soon willing
hands were carrying out the contents
of the neighboring buildings and
water was being thrown as fast as it
could be got. But in spite of all they
could do the photograph gallery of
Miller's caught fire and then the build
ing where Mis- Larsen had his meat
market. 3 Willing hands, however,
had carried all the contents to safe
place. Then all hands turned to save
the building in which John Petersen
is located. The store room, just north
of the main building, was covered
with cloths and salt and the roof
of the building now looks like it was
covered with snow, so white is it with
salt. The air by this time was full of
blowing shingles and every place had
to be watched. But it was finally stop
ped, much to the relief of all. When
it was over the street presented pc
culiar spectacle. Every thing that had
been in the store seemed to be on the
outside as the people had freely help
ed. John Peterson's store suffered the
worst as it was nearest and little care
seemed to be taken and most of his
goods were mussed so that, as may be
seen by his ad in this paper, he is SELL
ing everything but groceries at cost.
Most of the others received little dam
age. The fire company, in Audubon,
had been telephoned for but the dis
lance being SO great they did not get
there until too late, though they COW
cred the distance in about an hour and
fifteen minutes, and the town people
were very grateful to them. The ORR
gin of the fire is not known, but it is
thought to have caught from defec-
tive fue, and then when it got to the
tar paper it easily spread. Each of
the buildings was covered by fair
insurance, but not enough to cover
all the loss. The people. are quite
thankful that it spread no farther, as
it seemed at one time it would.
