Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1908-03-26

yesterday.
Good morning; has the vaccine
virus, poked into your anatomy
by the attending physician,
taken effect?
Mrs. w. w. Bishop reached
home last Saturday, stopping a
week in Lincoln, from a visit of
a month at Piper City, ILL.,, her
old home.
1t hasn't been demonstrated
yet-anywhere-that the paint
ing of city hall building would
spread the germs of either itch
or small pox.
Nj. F. Roberts, of Dunning,
was in the city Wednesday of last
week and purchased 100 acres of
isolated land from the govern
ment at ST. 80 per acre.
A child one month old of Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Porter, residing 3
miles southeast of the city, died
yesterday of whooping cough.
Funeral services will be held at
the home this afternoon at ?
o'clock.
Luther Miller last week sold
two stations at $4,000 to
Custer county farmers, and on
Friday left for Chicago to dis
pose of car of horses he shipped
there, and returning, will bring
some pedigree stations.
Should you stroll down the
avenue and see something coming
toward you that resembles a
small pox microbe, do not stop to
investigate too closely-it may
be bacteria baccilli of the itch.
And the itch is subject to
quarantine-nowdays.
One year ago yesterday record
was made of the mercury in the
thermometer at the Turner Lum-
Der Co. Office, as 81 degrees above.
Yesterday it was 79 above. Does
the oldest inhabitant remember
that yesterday and year ago
yesterday resembled each other
so closely?
Joe Hutchinson, the baker,
who recently left here for the far
northwest, writes that he has
halted in Seattle where he easily
secured employment at his trade.
Ross Humphrey, who was engage
ed in the barber shop with Leo
Dean, accompanied him, but con-
tinued the journey to San Fran
cisco.
Miss Katie F. Dukes, after
spending the past five months at
her home, Oakland, Calf, has
returned to Broken Bow ard re-
sumed the position held by her
for more than year as steno-
grapher in the E. c. House real
estate and insurance o fiji {.
Many acquaintances welcome her
return to this city.
Some people, DR.. Bartholomew
says, seem to be of the opinion
that he is not practicing medi-
cine, but is engaged in the real
estate business instead, which is
all wrong and he does not under
stand how such an idea became
current. The fact is he is very
much engaged as a physician and
surgeon and when No. 81 rings
either day or night the call is
promptly answered.
The building formerly occupied
by ]. w. Cook, on the west side
ofIthe square, is being overhauled
and neatly fitted up by Compbell
& son, of Chillocothe, Mo-, who
will manufacture candy and ice
cream and sell at both retail and
wholesale. This is an enterprise
the city has long needed and we
have no doubt but that this in
stltution will prove a success.
A phone message from the
Hunter ranch, 10 miles north,
last night reported prairie fire
with danger to the buildings.
The wind was blowing a gale
and the air filled with dirt and
flying PARTICLES, but Robert
Hunter and W. A. Dillavou
started out. After going a
couple of miles they learned the
fire had nearly burned out and,
going against the gale was so
terribly disagreeable, they return
ed to the city. Nothing has been
learned from the scene of the fire
this morning on account of the
phone wires being down.
