the greatest care in order to exc out his
somewhat limited income. Concerning
this period OF his life an interesting
story Is told In 1.-The Life and Letters

One day Muller left his spectacles.
which lie had broken, to be mended at
shop in the Strand. and on calling to

pay for them. The shopmnn returned

Motor Cyclesfor Mail Carriers

We see that several carriers
in different parts of the country
are using. the motor cycle with
success and are serving their
patrons in less than half the
time they would with team.
Now why do not the patrons
that are served from Missouri
Valley take pride in their car
riers and furnish them with a
cycle, thereby showing their
appreciation of their services?
| am sure if the patrons will
only furnish half the amount
required to buy one the carriers
will be glad tofurnish the other
half, for by so doing they
would only have to keep one
team, thereby cutting down the
expense of keeping two teams,
which it requires now. By US
ing the cycle the patrons will
receive their mail at least three
hours sooner than they do now,
when the roads are good, and
when the roads are bad they
can use the one team. They
save the feed of one team, also
rest the team they keep for
bad roads. The cycle will cost
$3.50 and we are SUR the car
!riers will furnish l. IL if the

NoNpARIEL COMPLIES
Responds to a Persistent Dc.
mand for a First Class

Evening Newspaper.
The Daily Nonpariel of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, in response to a very
general desire on the part of
thousands of people in Council
Bluffs and western Iowa, who
cannot be served to advantage
by a morning newspaper, has
arranged to start an evening
paper on May | of this year.
The Evening Nonpariel will be
a first class newspaper in every
respect, entirely distinct from
the morning edition, with a sep
crate Associate Press franchise
and a full service of state and
local news. The Nonpariel an
nounces that with eight mail
trains leaving Council Bluffs
between the hours of 3 and 6
O'Clock in the afternoon there is
not a nook or corner in western
Iowa that cannot be served with
either the evening or the morn
ing paper. If the latter arrives
too late for distribution by ru-
raj delivery routes, subscribers
on these routes can take the
evening edition, which will con-
tain full market reports of that
day and the full local and tele-
egragh service, and receive the
paper on the following morning.
Practically all the towns within
a radius of 100 miles from
Council Bluffs can be served
with the evening paper a few
hours after publication. No
newspaper announcement of re-
cent years has been of so much
intrest and Importance to tie
people of this part of the state
as this news from The Nonpa-
reil. New machinery is being
installed and a large number Of
additional people will be en-
ployed in this new enterprise Of
the publisher.

The family Of w. H. Bourn, Jr
is again under quarantine from
scarlet fever. They were re-
leased only last week, fumiga
ted their house, and thought
they were all safe from fur
ther trouble. They have the
sympathy of the community.
There was quite a sensation
in our community Sunday af-
ternoon, caused by the discove-
ry of a dead man floating in the
Missouri River, west of James
Wilkinson's farm. The discov-
cry was made by Fred Seegar
and Jessie Hillman. They pho
ned to the Coroner at Mo. Vail
ey, who ordered the body taken
to Modale, where an inquest
was held on Monday, but moth
ing was developed by which he
could be identified.
We were at Logan last week
and came from there down to
No. Valley ats p. m. and bouhg5
a ticket to Modale. 1t was not
stipulated on the ticket that we
were TO have seat, but nat
uraly supposed we were entit-
led to one, as we paid full fare.
The R. R. Co., did not play fair
with us, as we had to ride on
the platform and stand up all
the way, so think we have a
just cause of complaint.
James Pratt has been laid up
the past week with a sore throat
being too hoarse to talk part of
the time, but is some better at
this time.
A. H. Lowe has finished his
job of saving, at the farm of j.
w. Pratt, where he has been To-
Gated since last June. He saw
ed 212,000 feet of logs, being
much more than he expected to
when he came. He expects to
locate on the farm of F. w.
Schwertley next week, or as
soon as the roads will permit.
We have been having rain
and mud, then mud and rain,
too much for our R. f. D. man

VIM. Graham has his house

Miss Bessie Iden, whose health
is very poor, is now at home
with her parents, and expects
to remain with them during the
