relatives in this city. They came down
Wednesday.
| Mrs. Mary Maiden, who has been
| confined to the house several weeks on
account of illness, isnow so far recovered
| as to be out again.
One of the most handsome holiday
displays in this city was to be seen at
the meat market of E. Peters & Son. A
| considerable amount of time and expense
was spent in preparing this market for
the occasion and it has attracted wide
attention.
w. FL. Price of Indian Ford, sus-
tanned an injury to his knee few weeks
| ago and was partially disabled from
work. But like most men of good judg-
ment, he had provided himself with pro-
lection for just such a circumstance.
He was carrying an accident policy in
the Woodmen Accident Association of
Lincoln, Nebraska. For seven weeks of
partial disability, Mr.. Price received
check from the Association for nineteen
dollars and receipt for two dollars to
cover the current quarterly dues on his
policy. From the sending of the notice
of the injury to the time of receiving the
check, there were no delays on the part
of the Association and Mr.. Price feels
that he has been fairly and Justly dealt
with.
The sloppy and slippery condition of
the sidewalks the latter part of last
week was source of Joy to some and a
discontinue to others. The small boy
could paddle in the puddle to his hearts
content and when he returned home at
night was soaked from a to lizard and
it was usually necessary to put him on
stretcher hard by the kitchen stove to
dry. 1t was menace to those who were
compelled to do much travelling upon
the street. People who were timid and
not perfectly sure on foot, usually kept
in the middle of the road, and this was
icy enoughto make one go kerfop occa
|
was not extremely glad to have the 60
ing so slippery, and yet he wore self
| contented smile as he saw the large
stock of rubber shoes converted into
ready cash. The ''creeper," a contriv-
ance to fasten on the soles Of shoes or
rubbers, was called for by many at the
I ,to 1,,,+ hot ,,
ally new to the merchantmen and conse-
quently he was "just out" The black
smith man did steady business setting
horse shoes and sharpening calks, and
this added largely to his stock of joy and
filed his purse for Christmas. All IN
ALL in the language of Mr.. .Boggs, the
slippery season might have been worse.
The r. j. Maltpress bowling alley
located on Henry street was opened to
the public on Wednesday morning. 1t
is one of the best and most complete
bowling alleys that could be bought from
the manufacturers. It was purchased of
the Brunswick Bake Collendar compa-
ny of Chicago, and has been put in place
by the firm of Hargraves & Phifer
Everything about it in the way of quail
ity and finish and the completeness of
laying is of the finest and Mr.. Maltpress
| is to be commended for furnishing Ed
gerton with one of the best alleys in the
state. 1t will be conducted under the
American bowling rules, copy of which
is framed and hung in the corridor of the
alley for the consultation of players. In
connection with the bowling alley Mr..
Maltpress has erected large barn or
feeding stable and it will be known as the
Galley Barn." For hitching and feeding
purposes it will accommodate one hun
dred teams and only ten cents will be
charged for these accommodations.
There is also waiting room for ladies
and this is provided with a convenient
toilet room. The people of Edger-
ton have long wished for placessimilar
to what Mr.. Maltpress has constructed,
but very few of them ever entertained
hopes of having anything quite so elab-
crate in every detail. Consequently the
patronage should be liberal.
1t was not for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the correct astronomical position
OF the million or more twinklers in the
sky, or to keenly scrutinize the luster OF
a large, round, full December moon that
prompted Adelbert Fessenden to leave
his sleeping apartments and walk half
mile to his boarding house at two o'clock
one morning last week. 1t was because
Mr.. Fessenden was hungry and wanted
his breakfast. He sleeps at the residence
| of his son in the third ward and takes
his meals at Frank Wyman's in the first
ward On the morning in question Mr..
Fessenden awoke and found it light as
day. He drew his watch from under the
pillow and looked it square in the face
and noted that it was exactly the hour
