An Awful Moment.

The ascent was made more diff
ficult by the snow being soft in some
places. At last Mr.. Stetson hal sue
ceeded in climbing within a few feet
Of the top, and we we're beginning to
breathe freely and naturally again,
when suddenly he lost his footing,
his ~alpenstock. wrenched from his
hand. went whirling down the de-
clivity and past us like an arrow, and
we could hear 1t striking on the rocks
below as 1t turned end over end,
It was a terrible moment. With In.
creasing velocity Mr.. Stetson was
sliding toward us. We spoke no word.
We made no sound. though we both
~instinctively felt the presence Of an
awful peril. Into our two minds came
the single thought-we must catch
and hold him. Mastering all our
strength we braced ourselves on the
ledge, and as he shot within reach
we each grabbed a leg, though the
momentum Of his flight was 80 great
that we scarce had power to resist
the impact and hold our position on
the precipice. But we had saved
him.-From q Perilous Climb IN the
Sierra Nevadas, by Helen Lukens

A Box Of Old Coins unearthed.

A box Of old coins supposed to have
been buried by the Tories during the
revolutionary period was recently un-
earthed by laborers working on one
of the eastern railroads. but as the
coins were about two centuries old
they would probably have no more
vale today than many OF the remedies
compounded for stomach, liver and
bowel disorders. 1t is therefore neces-
sary, II you want to your
health, to be careful In the selection Of
a medicine that will restore the appe-
tite, purify the blood and cure head
ache, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton or liver and kidney troubles. You
will make no mistake If you will try

it will positively cure these diseases.

MR.. HANNA AS A CANDIDATE.

Many newspapers aro showing unwsf-
ranted annoyance and irritation over tho
movement to make Mr.. Hanna . candi-
date for the presidential nomination be-
fore the republican convention in 1904,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t is assumed that Mr.. Hanna, in per-
hitting his name to be used in this con-
nection, is guilty OF disloyalty to the
president and to the republican party.
It 10 assumed also that. because there is
q movement to make Mr.. Hanna eandi-
date before the convention, Mr.. Hanna
himself u aiming 1t the disruption OF
tho republican party.
Every man who has studied the p0lit-
ical situation believes at present that
President Roosevelt will be nominated
in 1904. This, however, does not debar
any other man from being q candidate,
nor does it warrant the assumption that
Mr.. Hanna is traitor to the party BE-
cause OF any reluctance on his part to
cay that he 10 not . candidate.
Tho selection OF . candidate 10 . mat
ter to Be decided, not by the supporters
or friends OF any one man, but by the
republican convention. 1t is not the
part OF wisdom for the majority in any
party to cay that only one candidate
shall be considered.

After our short rest We resume our
trip. now getting to the hills where at
some places you are going up one before
you are down the other, il the term or
expression 10 applicable. which We be-
lieve 10 in this case. On this part Of the
journey are VIM. Albus and VIM. Langey,
two OF Platte county's most sturdy
farmers who are up to date in everything
about their places, having the appear
ance OF good management and thrift.
They have their farms marked by u. s.
mail boxes. Mr.. Lange is superintend-
ent OF the German Baptist Sabbath
school.
Leaving these two farms We come to
the old Benthack place now owned by
Fred Behlen, jr., who just . short time
ago took unto himself . helpmste.
A few moro hills and We are at Mr.. d.
Behlens and Mr.. Fred Behlen's sr, post
Office boxes. These two gentlemen are
great fruit growers and much fine and
luscious fruit in the way OF strawberries
and other fruit is marketed each year
from these farma We notice that they
also farm quite extensively and keep .
great deal OF stock. One thing We notice
also 10 the attention they give to the
growing OF alfalfa and their way Of pre-
serving the hay under sheds.
For . ways we have level drive and
our team takes advantage OF this and
trots up briskly. We are in sight OF .
most beautiful farming country, perhaps
- 6ns - there is in the state OF Ne
braska. It 10 we'll settled and all OF the
best Of improvements. The land is
sliehtly rolling and the soil just right.
This lovely country 10 known as Grand
Prairie township. Some Of the farms in
sight are George Streeter, John Jeld0n,
II. p. Mohrmann, Henry Wilkins, John
Drunken and our county treasurer elect,
d. A. Becher.
We are now at the German Baptiat
