The St. Charles has suspended bust

necessary by the fact that the house had

Rev. Ed T.. Jones the new NJ E. pas
tor for the Bucklin circuit came in last
Friday night with his household goods.
His family has not yet arrived. Mr..
Jones comes to us with the reputation OF
being a worker; and that is well for there
is lots of work that needs to be done on
| this charge.
In last weeks issue of the GLoBE-RE-
PUBLICAN we noticed an item about a
| pelican that was killed by n. J. Smith OF
Ford, and mounted by a gentlemen in
Dodge City. Now, N. J., most any one
can kill a pelican when it comes in the
way, but did you ever try capturing one
| alive? and as to mounting dead pelican /.
that is easy when you know how to dc
it; but just try mounting a good healthy
live one, if you went lively time. Will
| and Harry Weikal, sons of U. d. Weikal
captured a live pelican near their home
on the creek, twelve miles south OF
Bucklin. MIR. Weikal brought the bi I'd
into Bucklin and presented it to DR.. JIG
Bred-hoft. When standing at rest ii
| stands four feet high, but when its wings
are spread it measures seven feet and ten
inches from tip TO tip, and from the tip
of its bill 10 the tip of its tail is six feet.
| The bill is thirteen inches long; but as il
| has never stepped on my corns, I don'i
know how much it weighs. The doctor
says that it is in thriving condition, and
don't care a snap how high the price OF
beef goes, just il gets it's daily rations
1t is becoming dome sticated. but does not
sing much yet, though it dances some
when any one that it does not fancy
comes around.
