Saturday night as Misses Kitty Mark.
Cora and Minnie Frisby were returning
from the tabernacle meeting near
Wataga, the team which they were driv.

and ran away throwing the occupants
out and almost demolished the buggy.
Miss Mark was driving and was pulled

on to the lines until the horses stopped.
Miss Minnie sustained broken arm
and several bruises and Miss Kitty a
wound across the forehead and bad

The girls collected together what
they could of the wreck and proceeded
to the home of John Frisby, parents

AWARD FOR JOE WoLvERfOl
Reward was made by Gov. Drake

Of money offered by Gov. Francis M.
Drake In 1897, for the capture of the

The case has been hanging fire on ac-
count of the claims of--several parties
for the money offered for the reward
The governor divided the $3.50 between
the claimants as follows: To Marion f.
King, Of Cambridge, Story county, Ia,
$3.50; to w. A. swearingen, Of Berlin
Otoe ,county, Neb., 500. The third
claimant was w. ID. Wheeler, sheriff Of
Cass county, Neb.
Immediately after the reward was of.
fered by Gov. Drake, King communicate
ed the first clue to the whereabouts Of
the murderer to the authorities in
Clarke county. The suspected and mis-
ing man was one Joe Wolverton. VOL
verton had a brother residing neal
Cambridge named Lewis Wolyerton.
When the authorities were so notified
by King, mail was watched coming tc
Welverton and clue gained in this
manner. The sheriff of Clark county sent
to the Nebraska town, from which let.
tiers to Cambridge Wolverton were sent

|Swearingen was the keeper of a general
store and the postmaster In the town.
From the picture sent him he recognized

It's very common thing, and SEEM
ingly one which people can not be per-
suaded to avoid, until they are burned
themselves, or they burn down their
own or somebody else's house. We refer
to filling the tank Of the gasoline stove
with the fire burning. This is what
Minnie Ballou did at Mayhew's Thurs
day of last week. She oyerran the fun
pel through which she was pouring, the
gasoline cverfowed the top of the tank
and dropped to the fire below. OF
course it was ignited, and the gasoline
on top of the tank was also, and it COM
municated to some things upon the wall
near by. Mr.. Mayhem rushed in and
seeing conditions contented himself
with dampening the wallto keep the
fire from spreading. land allowing the
gasoline outsidefhe tank to burn
out. That inside the tank although
there was qqay L or more Of it. did not
ignite. This iwhat some would call
the lucky psft of the business. Had
this ignited There might have been a
funeral az well as destructive fire,
When vii J people learn to not fill their
gasoline toyes while the fire is burning!

The Universal Entertainer,

The graphophone, the most versatile
of all devices for making home attract
i've has made its way faster than all
other music machines added together,
and has taken a permanent place in the
affections of all classes.
And the reason for this is not far to
seek, tor the graphophone sings. it plays
the music of band, orchestra and single
instruments, it tells stories, gives reci-
tations, teaches foreign languages, and
is especially calculated to drive dull care
away. In the parlor, in the nursery. in
the sick room-everywhere the whole
house over-the graphophone finds its
place, for the variety Of things it does
enables it to meet the requirements Of
every taste and adapt itself to the
moods of all. When it plays a march
your spirits are stirred by the martial
strain, if it renders song, the natural
ness with which the selection is giveE
brings smiles or tears, accordingly as
the song is humorous or pathetic, and
by numberless means, it wins its way to
the heart and when it is silent we feel
as if a living, breathing member of the
household had ceased to speak.
And, besides being an entertainer Of
the first magnitude, the graphophone is
tireless educator. 1t teaches the child
run the newest and brightest music and
in that way brings, not only them, but
their parents up to date.
The Columbia Phonograph Co., No.
ss Wabash avenue, Chicago, head
quarters for graphophones and talking
machine supplies Of every kind, will
send you catalogues on application.

MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE

The mistress of the White House is more fortunate than most housewives, in that she can assume as much or as little of the personal management of her household as she pleases. The government employs a steward, who. if she so desires takes complete direc- ton of the culinary department. Mir. Cleveland brought with him his former cook, a colored man, by name of Sin clair, and installed him as White House steward. a position which he held with a high hand, during both Mir. Cleve- lands two terms an MT. McKinley's administration. Sinclair was a prime favorite with MT. Cleveland. and he let him run things below stairs. pretty much to suit himself. Mrs. McKinley'S s invalidism precluded her assumption of any active control, and when she took up her residence in the executive man. sion she allowed him to still retain the reins of government in the lower part of the house. Mrs. Roosevelt's advent and the presence of the six young Roosevelts made q change necessary in the daily routine that had prevailed in the executive mansion President Me Kinley kept late hours, frequently go- ing back to his desk for work at ten o'clock or later. This, with Mrs. Me- Kinley's i'll health, made their nine o'clock breakfast q necessity, but there are little folks in the White House now who must be in school at that hour and as both President and Mrs. Roosevelt have high ideals of the duty-and priv
 ilege-of parenthood they always begin the day with the children at an eight o'clock breakfast. Then Mrs. Roosc- welt sees them off to school before she commences anything else and after that her mornings are passed very much as any other American matrons are in looking after her household. At 1 o'clock the family lunch together. During these recent bright autumnal days Mrs. Roosevelt has spent a part of nearly every afternoon driving with the children over some Of the pictur- esque roads in the environs of the cap ital. At o'clock the younger children have an early dinner with an hour or two to play before bed time; but din ner is served for the others at T:30 o'clock in the pleasant family dining room. At these meals there have been guests every night since President Roosevelt came to the White House There has been no formal entertaining; he has simply invited friends who chanced to be In the city. or some po- litical acquaintance with whom he wanted longer talk than could be had during the day in his office. Mrs is at her best when presiding at these informal dinners. and has made a most favorable impression on those
