Levi 0rvis Of Salem Claims to
Have Been Buncoed by a
Smooth Stranger.
NOTE COMES FROM CONTRACT
Orvis Signed Contract to Act as an
Agent and it is Presented in Court
AS a Promissory Note.

If the allegations made by Levi
Orvis, a merchant of the town of
Salem, are true the bunco man from
Chicago has found another victim in
Kenosha county and Orvis stands to
lose the sum of $40 and the interest
on it for a couple of years.
The facts in the case were brought
out by suit which was taken up in
Justice Sturges' court this morning in
which Orvis is the defendant and
Leonard N. Neynes, of Chicago, is the
plaintiff, Neynes asks that the court
force the Kenosha county man to pay
the note and in answer to the COM
plant Orvis comes back and alleges
that the note was secured by fraud
and that he will not pay it, but will
show up the man who attempted to
mu1ct him.
The complaint states that the note
was given on the third of January in
1908 and that it was given to an agent
of the Acme Food Company of Chi
cago. Orvis in his answer admits
t41dI SAS AC0 a Will at WILL b14N
agent for the food company-a and in
explanation states: That the man
came to his place of business and
asked him to act as the agent for the
Chicago company stating at the time
that he could make great sums of
money out of the sale of the products
sent him from Chicago.
The man had hands as white as any
1ady's and a face uncommon clean,
and, what was more to the point, he
had enough oil under his tongue to
1ubricate a threshing machine for a
year. He took Orvis about the coun-
try round Salem and showed him how
to sell the goods. Then they came
back to town, ard the man trotted out
the contract with a reassuring smile,
and Orvis was so taken that he decid-
ed to take up the agency.
The man presented a contract and
Orvis admits that he read it over and
that it seemed to be fair enough for
any one. He handed the contract
back to the agent and just at this in
teresting stage of the proceedings the
train whist1ed and the man grabbed
his grip. Just as the train pulled into
the station he drew out document,
which Orvis thought was the contract,
and ordered Orvis to sign it. Orvis
did and this is now returning in the
way of promissory note. Of course
Neynes is an innocent third party and
he had purchased the note and now
brings suit for it's collection.
Orvis is determined that he will
not be swind1ed and has employed at
torneys to fight the case. Neither of
the parties was ready to go on with
the suit this morning and the hearing
was continued to December 10Th.
This will give Orvis and the other
man plenty of time to think the mat
ter over.

MAKING STEEL THREsHERs,
Case L. M. Co. Believe They Will Work
in Large Wheat Fields.

The ]. I. Case T. NJ. Co., of Racine.
has recently made number of steel
threshing machines and shipped them
to the northwest. It is understood
that the machines will be tried in the
large wheat fields and are expected
to work. Eventually all threshers
turned out by this company would be
manufactured of steel.
This is owing to the fact that wood
OF which the threshers are now mainly
constructed, is rapidly disappearing.
Before many years little will be left,
which will compel another mode of
construction and steel is the best.

Origin Of Names OF Nebraska Town and
County.

From the Nebraska State journal.
shortly after it was decided that n post
Office was needed at the settlement now
known as Broken Bow, the child OF one of the
settlers brought in from his playground
the shoulder blade Of a buffalo which contained
imbedded in it an Indian arrow head
The father of the boy went from curiosity
to examine the ground where tn g bone was
found, and near the spot he found an Indian
bow, such as they used in hunting buffalo,
with one end broken off 50 as to render 1t
useless. This incident suggested the name
of Broken Bow for the post Office and the
department accepted the name with COM
plments.
Frenchtown in Antelope county received
its name from tho number Of French settlers
in the vicinity. The county itself received
its name from party OF Platte county settlers
They were chasing a band of Indian cattle
thieves across what Is now Antelope
lack Of food that they could not go further
At this critical time an antelope appeared In
sight and was shot, thus possibly saving
the lives Of the hunters. One member Of
this party was in the Legislature that named
the territory including the scene Of this in
cident, and the county was named Antelope
at his suggestion.

To get the 1905 walk 1t will be neces-
sary to do many things besides walk, for
the muscles must be supple. and an i'm
portant part OF their suppleness is the
aromatic bath. The woman who bathes
daily in four gallons Of water to which
has been added a pint of bath vinegar,
will be in much better condition than the
woman who takes only the plain water
bath.
The aromatic bath can be prepared in
several ways. There Is the bath made Of
aromatic rose leaves, a delicious prepara-
ton. The rose leaves are taken from the
rose jars in handfuls and are plunged In
vinegar. Take handful Of rose leaves
and cover them with pint Of vinegar.
Let 1t stand over night Drain well and
add to a bathtub of water.
Another excellent bath rs made by pour
ing spirits OF cologne upon rose leaves
and letting it stand three days. Drain of

And there is what was once called the
bath of the aristocracy. 1t consists Of
orange flower water, made milky with
benzoin, and the whole added to the bath.
And there is the perfumed bath, which
is made by adding a specially prepared
toilet water to a tub Of hot water. To make
the toilet water take grain Of musk and
put it in the bottom of gallon bottle. On
top Of this pour pint of spirits Of cologne,
and to this add half an ounce OF oil of rose
gerahium.
Let it tlld month. Shake well and
add pint of the best alcohol. This mixture
becomes better the longer it is kept, and
in the very incest bath preparation that can
be found.

A new walk IL coming In with the new
year. 1t is already here, but it will take
women until the dawn OF 1905 to become
perfect in it.
1t is different from any other walk that
was ever SEEN though In certain ways il
resembles the Grecian oend. which was the
ambition OF our mothers and grandmothers
in 1870. It requires these things: wide
shoulders and little waist, high heeled
shoes with wide soles, big hips and fiat
back, and the military carriage.
The girl who Is getting the 1905 walk
would do well to visit some nearby military
station and study the soldiers. II she can
the better. The new walk is the military
walk with certain improvements and
CAaAges.

The first time you try It you will feellike
a trussed chicken. The second time 1t will
not be quite 80 bad. After while you
will get the hang of it, Just as you got the
hang of the bicycle, and you will sbe able
to do it correctly.
Here are briefly the cardinal rules, ao-
cording to one who IL teaching the new
Grecian bend:
Chest out, hips back, abdomen in, chin
up back straight and fest well lifted. The
knees must have a decided action and the
arms must be held in to the body
THE walk of 1905 is very graceful thing
after you have learned it. But the first
attempts are not encouraging. Few women
can assume the Grecan bend with any
approach TO grace or beauty until they

have practised it and failed upon 1t a few
times.
There are objections to this walk. but
It has its good points. 1t is fashionable and
1t forces one to expand the chest and breathe
deeply.
1T makes one carry the shoulders straight
and it compels one to draw in the abdo-
men, The girl who learns the walk of 1905
will walk well all the rest of her life.
Learn to carry yourself well, is an admo-
milton for every girl. A good carriage is
a fine thing in a woman. Often that which
passes for style and beauty and a good
figure is nothing more nor less than a good
carriage.
1.-TWO sisters will 60 out TO walk together
The one looks trim and stylish. The other
looks dowdy Everybody recognizes the
difference but few can tell just why.
Mine times out OF ten it all lies in the
carriage. One sister walks well. Her belt
Is low in the front and trim in the back
Her shoulders are held back, her chin is
lifted, her skirt hangs well and she walks
with a sprightly step.
THE other one moves along slouchily
and gets there in any old way.
Suppleness is a great aid to the walker
Of 1905. The girl who would be supple
must practice little every day.
Running on all foWs is not usually
considered graceful feat, yet this is just
what was advised for woman who COM

A Growing Interest

If we are really desirous of having

power to help. We cannot all be mis-
sionaries, but we can help send mission
aries to them. The following il from
the Missionary Review of the World:
A truly Christian man grew inter
ested in missions. At flrst he began to
pray. Lord, save the heathen." After
= time he prayed. Lord, send mission
aries to save the heathen!" Later on
he prayed. Lord, if you haven't any
body else to send, send mel"
Then he changed his prayer, Lord
send me; but if you can't send me, send
somebody" Finally he changed and
said, "Lord, send who thou wilt; but
help me to pay my share of the ex-
penses."
Then for the drst time the Gospel to
him became reality and giving to the
