Since changing my residence

the kindness and courtesy of our
citizens have been such toward
me that I desire to express my
heartfelt thanks for the same.

terested in a reform of natural
church work and also the educa-

do so may have their children

The Legislature Organized.

The state Legislature convened
Tuesday in the capital building,
Lincoln. The house effected an
organization by electing Geo. L.
Rouse of Hall county for speaker,
John Wall of Arcadia chief clerk.
A warm contest of the speaker
ship was waged and for time it
looked as Douglas of one of the
northeast counties was a sure
winner; Rouse, Perry and Wilson
were active candidates and they
formed a combine, including
John Wall candidate for chief
clerk. The agreement provided
for all, supporting the candidate,
receiving the majority of the vote
OF caucus. Fifty three having en-
tered into the agreement, caucus
was held and Rouse was the sue
cessful candidate. Copsey, who
had been counted with the Doug
las forces got into the agreement
IN time to be counted and thus
was enabled to name one of the
appointive Offices. He named S.
l.. Cannon who has lately moved
to this city from Westerville as
his appointee. We understand

'Loftlest Lakes in the World.

The most lofty lakes are found
among the Himalaya mountains Ia
Tibet Their attitudes do not, how
ever, seem to have been very accur-
ately gagged, for different authorities
give widely different figures regarding
them. According to some, Lake Ma
nasarowar, one Of the sacred lakes Of
Tibet, Is between 10000 and 10000
feet above the level of the sea, and IL
this is so 1t is undoubtedly the loftiest
in the world.
Two other Tibetan lakes, those OF
Chatamoo and Surakol, are said to be
1900 and 5,400 feet in altitude, re-.
. spectively. For long time 1t was
supposed that Lake Titicaca. in South
America, was the Hottest in the world.
1t covers about $500 square miles,
Is 924 feet in its greatest depth and
10000 feet above the sea. In spite OF
ineXactitude with regard to the meas
urements Of the elevation of the TT.
betan lakes they are no doubt consid.
erably higher than this or any other.

The organization of the legis-
lature in neither house was not
dictated by corporation influence,
both rather in opposition to such
influence. The legislation this
winter will be strictly in the in
terests of all with special favors
to none. The personnel of the
Legislature is strong and will not
be susceptible of flattery or easily
coerced. Wall of Sherman, Cady
of st. Paul, Fries of Arcadia,
and McClain of Seward, are fair
samples of the senate. The
house is largely of the same
class of men. The policy of both
branches of the Legislature is for
a short term and economy.

work has been generally salts
factory. Owing to the high |
waters the fall previous that car
ried away so many bridges the
expense has been unusually
heavy. In addition the law re-
quired a new appraisement of the

bers of the board are G.. Hiser of
Elk Creek township, and ]. H.
MCGUIRE Of Arnold. They both
have been faithful and efficient
workers, true to their constitu-
ants and the county in general.
With the adjournment of the
board ends G. H. Thorpe's official
position as chairman Of the
board. He made an able an eff
cieut chairman and were it not
for the fate of politics there
would be no question about his
reelection to the position for the
ensuing year. But as the ma
jority of the next board is fusion
he will hardly expect to be favored
with the position. AS ex-ofhcio
INC nber Of the board county at
tor ey, Humphrey, will also re-
tire. The following resolution,
which was introduced by Geo.
Greenwalt and adopted by
unanimous vote, expresses the
high esteem in which the retir-
ing officers are held by their as
sooiates:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN
The business of the present
board having come to a close, l
offer the following resolutions
and move their adoption:
We recognize in our chairman,
G. H. Thorpe a fair and impair
tial presiding officer, and take
this means of congratulating him
on the most excellent manner in
which he has acquitted himself
as such. We believe it is due to
his efforts, to great extent, that
the past years work of the board
has been pleasant and harmon
ious and fruitful of good results
to the people of Custer county.
We regret that the termination
of this SESSION closes the terms of
J. H. Mcclure and G. H. Hiser
members of the board. We rec
ognize in them honest, efficient
and painstaking officials, who
have not only looked we'll to the
interest of their respective dis
tricts, but to the county at large.
Their association on this board
has always been pleasant and
they terminate their work with
the utmost respect and good will
of all the members and county
officials.
We desire to express our appre-
citation of the work of A. K. Hum
phrey, whose term as County At
torney is also brought to close.
We recognize in him an able law
yer and safe legal adviser, whose
presence at our sessions have adj
ded pleasure to cur duties, and
whose services to Custer county
have been of decided merit and of
irestimable value.
In Joseph Pignan, our deputy
County clerk aud clerk of board,
we recognize a man of special
ability. His work has been of
the highest quality and we say
without hesitation, that he has
by his splendid methods and ex-
cellent system rendered to this
board and to Custer county SER
vices that is hard to equal.
1t is with pleasure that we note
the pleasant relations that have
existed between the members of
this body during the past year,
and we believe by reason of this
better results have been attained.
To the retiring officers we wish
to express our best wishes FOR
their future success.

Food to Put the Flesh on.

Three years experience with one food
is Il severe test.
What it can do when that food is the
proper food, GrapeNuts. is proved by
the statement of a Massachusetts wo-
man who says:
up to three years ago I had sick
headaches every week and although 1
had heard and read about how food af-
fected one l never thought that could
have anything to do with my trouble
until one day a friend came in and
found me suffering from a frightful
headache and suggested that it might
be the food, telling me should change
my food for breakfast Mt least.
Breakfast,' I said. why I never
have any appetite for breakfast. there's
/ nothing I would RELISH She said Did
you ever try Grape-Nuts? We use them
every morning and find them just what
we relish and we know our health is
better since we have eaten them
This was news to me but I am not
too dull to learn a thing so that very
day I got two packages and ate only
Grape Nuts and cream for two weeks
at breakfast and became SO fond of
them soon found myself eating them
for supper also. The result was my
headaches lessened quickly and finally
disappeared and for the past two years
I have only had couple and ! have
gained about 80 pounds in weight.

Husband is just as fond of the food
as am, TOO. and he makes his entire
breakfast on it and today I looked over
our old grocery orders just for fun and
found we have used 512 packages of
Grape-Nuts food since we began eating
it three years ago. My husbands
health has improved wonderfully for
he used to ba frail little man as white
as a ghost but now he has fine appetite,

Not untrequently one hears peopla
refer to the good old times. On Occa-
| SiOns of this kind there looms up in
| front OF the members of the present
generation visions of life of luxury
a time when there was little work, lots
of pay for doing that little, and the
best kind of living. But is that vision
correct? Occasionally one gets a rude
awakening from such dream and
comes to think that the good old times
are something of Il myth. Any one who
| is troubled with n desire to return to
those good old times should take the
trouble To visit Mai. Charles ]. House.
| ut the labor department at the State
| House. The major has a couple of re-
| ceiptS for money paid, which are in
teresting, not only because of their
age. but because they give some idea
of what those old times We're. One of
these is Il receipt which the ma jor s
father, Charles House, of Brunswick
gave to Capt. Samuel Allen, upon re-
ceiving pay for Il days work in the
construction of the brig Frances Allen.
For the Il days work he heceived $3.50
or 80 cents per day. Even supposing
addition to the 80 cents n day. of which
there is no evidence that he did. his
Iaily wages could not have been
reckoned at more than Is cents per day,
rs then they used to board men for
$50 n week. The other receipt is one
which Capt. Berry received from Will
liam Harmon upon paying for IS
pounds Of mutton, at q. cents Il pound,
amounting to II cents. Both bills are
dated i'm November 1870. Maj. House
says that his father has told him of
cho2ping cord wood at 20 costs a cord
and boarding himself a dollar n cord
these days is considered as low as a
man can afford to chop for. To show
how nice those old days were for the
laboring man the major has a letter
which n man wrote to Il friend telling
how good times We're. in which he stat
ed that he was working in n saw mill
ana getting n dollar day. In consid-
erinG this just bear in mind that the
hours of. work We're from Sun-up to
Sun-doWn. DO yOu want any Of it?
