A Family Heirloom.

There is an old German Bible OF
Luthern translation in this office,
which was left here about three years
ago to be rebound, The title page
shows that it was printed in Berlin,
published by the Royal Secret Superior
Court Printing Office, but it does not
give the date. There is an introduc.
ton by Aug Herm FRANKIE in it contain
ing a brief instruction, how one should
read the holy scripture, to ones true
edification recommending to the reader
honesty of purpose, a sincere desire to
learn. a prayerful attitude of mind,
intelligent meditation and patient
application in the trials of life. The
Bible o hes a full leather binding
very neat and substantial and is with
out doubt of great value to its owner.
We have miselaid the address and take
this method to inform the owner that
his bible is here, since we have not
heard from him for some time and
presume he has given the volume up as
lost.

The proceedings of the last meeting
of the city council were crowded out
this week by lack of space.
Miss Mary Rakken was called home
to Bristol early in December by the ILL.,
ness of her three. year. old brother,
Peter, who was suffering with diphth-
eria and died on Dec. 6, was detained
at home un4ll Wednesday by the illness
of other members of the family.
John Williams, vice president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, returned
Friday from the state of Washington.
During his three weeks absence Mr..
Williams purchased about two hundred
cars of lumber for the Williams
Brothers lumber yards in this section
of the state.
The Waubay Clipper states that
rumor states there is an epidemic of
dsptheria in Webster" There were
just two cases in this city. The Clip
per should endeavor to look up such
reports before printing them They
are very unfair and not considered the
best kind of newspaper work.
George Emmens, OF Pierpont. was
arrested Monday on complaint of A s.
Bryant charging him with larceny of
Bryaut's wheat. The case came up for
t ial Tuesday, States Attorney Sears
appearing for the state and Mayor l..
III. Woodwork for the defendant.
After hearing all the testimony the
justice dismissed the ease and taxed the
costs TO the complaining witness.
In the advertisement of Anderson's
studio we made an error and had 81
lights instead of 81. This max IS a vast
difference in the amount of light.
Anderson's studio has the very best
travelling photograph a that has ever
been on the road in this state. Ii is a
regular studio just as complete as any
IL any building in n town or city.
Your picture taken at the car will be
just the same and just as good as if
taken at the studio in this citv.
The many friends of Miss Addie Nc
Kenneth, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas McKennett of this city, will be
sorry to learn that she is at present
suffering from q severe case Of typhoid
fever at Idaho Falls, Idaho, where she
has been teaching school. Her parents
hear from her daily and she is doing as
we'll as could be expected. The news
yesterday was that she passed a good
night and morning and temperature
was 103. All Webster people viii hope
for her speedy recovery.
