Brown County Lost Two Towns.

Aberdeen, March is. = Brown
county has lost two towns, one going
to Mcpherson and the other to Sphinx
county. The first is Berne, a few
miles northwest of this city, and the
latter is Mansfield, about ten miles
south of here. The loss of these two
towns is brought about by orders is
sued from the postoffice department
at Washington. In the case of Berne,
the entire town will be moved to
Wetonka, five miles west and one of
the stations on the Leola branch of
the M. & st. L. road. An order was
received yesterday morning to trans
fer the postoffice from Berne to We
tonka and E. L.. Triel, postmaster,
will take charge of the new Office.
The stores and industries in the town
will follow the %postoffice and soon
only a few homes will remain in the
Brown county village.
In the case of Mansfield, the coun-
ty line runs through the middle of
the main street. The postofice has
been in this county, but by order
from Washington, the Office will
move across the street and thus be
operating in Sphinx county.

The Syarr c-aeseesoudeat % tAs
Etaan Entrrpriae ran across a biz %.
romance down m the extreme SCUM
ern part OF the country, Wherein "a
young German WAS having a very SO.
rious time i'll trying To md his sweet.
heart who Was coming over tgom
Germany to become his Wife. The
trouble the Young man experienced
on the day the Young lady was to
arrive is thus detailed by the CORE
s%pondent;
Last Saturday was one of the hap
pieSt days in the life of our friend
Math. Leaven. His sweet kathrinc
was to arrive on the 3 O'Clock train
from Germany. Math. and Mr.. Oster
arrived in Ethan about > O'Clock and
Maths. first trip vas to the depot.
He asked the agent what time the
train was due. About forty min
utes yet. Mr." So Math. walks up
town asain and thinks he might RET
a shave and a hair cut yet to pass
away the time. The minutes are get
ting longer than days.
Mr.. Bliesner. the barber, noticing
Maths. heart beating about three
times as fast as it ought TO. thought
he had better get to Work, for no
telling what might happen. One of
the Ethan bells began to ring just
then and it was all Math. could
stand. 20! That's the train" But
the barber tried to keep him down,
saying, Il must finish you up first"
Moth rohhjn hic hat ,u;tL
one hand and reaching for the door
way, fellow, My KATRINA is on
cry piece Of furniture in the room"
And away he goes to the depot, but,
Oh! there's half an hour left yet.
Time begins to drag again. at last
the train arrives, but KATRINA is not
to be The trunks are rolled out
and Math. says: They are my
Kathrina's from Deutschland on the
Rhein." So he jumps on the train
and looks through all the cars With
the cry, ooh, God, she is not here"
he is again seen on the platform.
Say, conductor, where is Kathrina2
If you don't tell me you may be in
danger of your life" The conductor
excusing himself, tried to explain
that she might come on the $3.50 in
the evening. About train time that
night Math. is again seen on the
platform armed with a good six
shooter. The train is scarcely
stopped when Math. is seen going for
the conductor. lis my KATRINA on
the train?" No excuse this time.
But just then she is getting Off the
car. THAT saves your life" says
Math., who, with open arms, turns
to Kathrina, saying: 80, KATRINA,
come quick! come quick! come
quick! for my heart is so weak, so
weak from love which I have been
keeping for you almost a whole
year."
The BARRIERS bill was then paid
and Math., as happy as a bird, start
for home.

Sells Footwear to Foreigners.

Uncle Sam is a great shoemaker.
He not only supplies his own wants.
but furnishes foreigners with a large
amount of their footwear. The Eu-
ropean salesman displays the shoe
marked made in America" as
proudly as the carpet man exhibits
his rugs from Turkey. The value of
the annual product of our shoe fac
tories is $35O,O0O,0 O0-almost
enough to build two Panama canals.
Boston and st. Louis are the great
shoe centers. st. Louis distributes
more shoes through it's jobbing
houses than any other American city,
and 60 per cent of the quantity it
distributes is made in its own fac
tories.

tlnally landed measured twelve teet
and nine inches and weighed over

incident OF catching the shark In the
following;
Hardly was the baited hook in the
water before there WAS a swirl and
a huge shark appeared, his cold grey
eyes intent upon the fish. He was
on in a minute and then the fun be-
gan. Everybody knows how a big
fellow like h a resembles Il tremen-
dous saw log with a dozen steamboat
engines in 1t. For q while 1t looked
like the dock wasn't going to stand
for 1t as a brace and some planking
gave away. Mr.. McElmurry and Miss
Thompson did their best, but he says
it was impossible to do much until
about twenty-five strong men, thirty
five women and wv boys, together
with the mate of the Marjory, A.
Spencer, which was lying at the
dock, and some of the crew with
block and tackle had taken hold OF
We're helping with advice. BY that
time something had to happen and
the poor old shark began to think it
was all on him and finally gave up
and drowned. He was then pulled
up on the dock and strung up where
his picture was taken.
The jaw and backbone of the
monster will probably be added to
Mr.. McElmurry's treasures when he
goes home. He now thinks st. Pc

WHAT DO THEY p

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not
advertised as a rCure All " but admirably
fulflls a singleness of purpose, being a
class OF diseases only-those easily recog-
nized weaknesses, arrangements, irregu-
lartties and painful disorders peculiar to
women. 1t is a powerful, yet gently act
Ing, invigorating, tonic and strengthening
nervine. For weak, worn-out, over-work-
ed omen matter what has caused
the Observation-Disclosures it be from too
frequent bearing of children or from much
worry, care, or over eXertion of any kind,
"Favorite Prescription" will be found
most efficient in building up the strength,
regulating all the womanly functions,
banishing pain and bringing about a reg
ular and healthy, vigorous condition Of
the whole female system. Thus 1t cor
reefs prolapsus, or falling Of womb, retro
version, ~anteversion and other displace-
ments of the female pelvic organs, due to
weakness or yer eXertion, lifting or ia
tiguing over-work. In short, it makes
weak women strong and sick women we'll.
AS to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coyery it has q very large range Of appli:
as a "Cure-All.n It possesses marvellous
Alternative, or blood cleansing, properties
and is at the same time q most l~nvigorat-
ing tonic. or strength giver. It exerts a
specific, cleansing, soothing and healing
effect upon all the lining mucous mem
branes Of the system; hence, its great
curative value in all catarrhal affections,
no matter where located.

WORKING FOR A MONUMENT
Resume of the Womens' Relief Corps
of What They Have Done in
Several Months.
Several Months.

Inc corps mas a membership OF
LA and still holds the proud dis
tinction of the banner corps in the
president, Mrs. Helen Kibbee, rs
serving her third consecutive term in
Office, thus speaking volumes for her
popularity as we'll as her executive
ability, and a majority of the officers
have succeeded themselves for 1907.
General harmony prevails among the
membership.
Early in September an action was
taken to establish a fund for the
erection, in the near future, of a
soldiers monument, to be placed. on
some desirable spot In our city. The
first deposit towards this fund was
made in October, the amount being
$217. From that time until the
present the fund is nearing the three
hundred dollar mark.
Sociables have been held every al
ternate Friday by the corps ladies.
One of the truly royal women of our
number pieced and furnished a beau
tiful quilt, which was sold at a good
price. The amount was placed very
graciously by her in the monument
fund.
We hope, through our best efforts,
and the assistance and inspiration
from the G. A. R., we will be able to
erect a monument that will be a
credit to the city as we'll as a me-
mortal to the heroes who were will
ing to offer their lives in the great
struggle for the preservation of the
Union and n which developed so
much individual heroism and patri-
otto spirit.
In January, Ransom corps present
ed the high school with a handsome
flag. The presentation vas made by
Mrs. LILY Patterson, our patriotic
instructor. Prof. Hoff, superintend-
ent of the city schools, responded in
behalf of the school.
February 20 a patriotic social
was given in the G. A. R. rooms. A
fine literary and musical program
was listened to by a large audience.
Among the numbers given was the
Flag Poem," composed and written
by our own Kate Brownlee Sher-
wood, of Ohio. The poem was, at
our last national convention, adopted
as a part OF our patriotic teaching.
While some losses in membership
have occurred, new members have
been constantly added, showing a
growing interest in u order.
We have just added to our beau
tifully furnished rooms a clock of
great beauty and we now seem to
be enjoying an era of peace and
plenty, showing a spirit to promote
the cause we have eSpoused-to work
for the soldier and his dependent
ones.
Our flower mission is one of the
specific lines of work carried on in
Ransom corps, and the sick r not
forgotten, if reported. Many sad
hearts are cheered by these beautiful
tokens of remembrance.
