1t is now announced that Sunday
school will be held in the church each
Sunday in the forenoon before the hour
of the morning service.
The Schultz girls. who have been at
work in Langdon all winter are again
home and will help to run things on the
farm during the approaching busy sea-
son.
J. Derkson has been busy since the
fine weather set in breaking up large
piece of prairie land on the farm of Jacob
Spenst. ST. The small amount of water
left lying on the land this spring makes
both breaking and other spring work
easy.
Some of the dogs out this way must
have an awful hungry feeling as evidence
ed by the fact that since spring opened
up three of Mr.. krahn's COWS are minus
their tails. When dogs get to chasing
cattle in this manner a shot gun is a
good thing with which to break them Of
the habit.
Abraham Krahn is back from his
winter visit to the old home in Southern
Russia. where he spent one of the most
enjoyable times of his life visiting among
old friends and viewing the scenes of his
old country home. The sea voyage COM
ing home lasted fourteen days and he
says was all right. All the neighborS
have been making calls on the krahn
family since his return and keep him
busy telling them how things are NOV
ing along in the Fatherland, far away
across the sea.
The schools in Berlin and Moscow
townships are finding it hard to engage
teachers for the spring term. Teachers
were scarce last year. but they are harder
to get than ever this spring. Another
trouble is they ask a much larger salary
than formerly and in districts. where
the school population is as small as it is
here it makes it a burdensome expense
to the school board. Nevertheless. both
Berlin and Moscow will have the usual
number of schools running this summer
and there is every chance teachers will
earn all they have coming to them. If
its to be school marin that we get in
this district the boys all hope it will be
pretty one.
The disseminating of Moscow post
office has made it necessary for many
farmers Of this locality to have their
mail addressed to Langdon. But it is
hoped somebody will be prevailed on to
take up the job. resigned by Mr.. Toews.
we understand. for the reason that the
Office didn't pay for the trouble it caused
him. He has been the postmaster at
Moscow since the Office was established
nearly twelve years ago. There We're
lots of people to get their mail here. but
it so happened, that when they have
letters to post they take them to Lang
don. This is what left little or nothing
for Postmaster Ioews in the way of re-
Enumeration for running the Office. If
the Moscow pcstoffice is opened again
the patrons want to see that the post
master gets a better deal for the trouble
he is put to in looking after the office.

CUPID DRIED HIS EYES
DURING A LAWSUIT.
Young Married Couple That Had Part
ed Were Drawn Together as Wit
nesses and Made II Up in the
Courtroom.
REPvBLIC SPECIAL

Macon. Mo, June l3.-Cupid dried his eyes
and laughed at a marital tragedy that
wound UP In a happy comedy in local
courtroom this afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Pryor. a young couple who had been
separated for six or eight months. were in
court as witnesses in a State case.
Since her withdrawal from her husband S
roof Mrs. Pryor has been STAYING with an
excellent family at the colliery town of
Keota. She was escorted in to-day by
Shafer Ford. q young man who had been
keeping company with her the past two
or three months and who was waiting the
adjudication OF the divorce case to marry
her.
Mrs Pryor is a very pretty young woman
of about 90. and was handsomely dressed.
On the witness stand she was subjected 20
a long and severe cross-eXaninatiOn by
young branch of the law. When she LEFT
the stand she was faint and weak. She
walked to an unoccupied room in the rear
of the auditorium.
Pryors quick eye detected that something
was the matter and he hurried after her.
When a bailiff went to summon him he
found them billing and cooling like young
lovers. 1t was the first time they had met
for long time. and all previous efforts at
reconciliation had missed fire. Pryor
went on the stand and there was a strong
ring in his voice that was entirely new.
After the case was over Mrs. Pryor told
her friend who had driven her down from
Keota that she had decided to remain In
Macon. He said something about presents
and she promised to return them. The d.
vorce bill has been recalled.

prominent in public affairs in Iowa for the
past 80 years. He crossed the plains to
California twice before the war. When

important command and rendered val
