zuIauf's Mustache Gone.

Pierce Call: Our first introduction
to Billy Zulauf was about seventeen
years ago last fall when we attended
race meet at Norfolk. Billy didn't
have Capt. Mack or King Woodford
in those days, but he had a blonde
mustache that was not only the apple
of his eye, but envied by all the boys
who had been working the cat and
sweet cream prescription over time.
We might also comment upon the adj
miration society of the weaker sex
and his popularity among them be-
cause his upper lip was adorned be-
comingly with that blonde hiresute.
We mention this at this time so that
posterity will remember that Billy was
not once so bleak and bald under his
proboCis as he is now. Either domes-
tic troubles. an old fashioned Ne
braska sand storm or the careless
pouring of kerosene on the fire has
shorn him completely of his thing of
beauty and JOY forever and he can be
seen most any morning steering down
the street under bare poles. He has
lost his mustaChe.

and Who Owns All This Hog?

Whose mule is julia" Or in local
language who owns the hog?
Justice G. C. Lambert will have that
question to decide.
w. e. Reed swore out a warrant
against Andrew Nord yesterday for
Withholding certain monies alleged to
D" N hln from the Sole ; boar
he loaned to Nord for service.
That was two years ago and Nord,
who has had the hog ever since, was
doubtless beginning to believe he
owned him.
Anyhow, last week, when loading
up wagon box with hogs he included
the disputed piglet
Later he sold the same to the Farm
ers Elevator company.
The purchase price of the valuable
and ancient relic of bygone bacon,
totaled up in dollars and cents,
amounted to $216O. OF this amount
Nord left SIS in care of the elevator
company for Reed.
Reed wants it all.
Nord declares the hog has eaten up
$500 worth of corn during the two
years. 1t is very probable that unless
the animal was sick all the time, lie
has!
Then Reed says that if at that time
he had disposed of the hog to the
market buyers he would have been
GOOD money ahead Hogs were then
selling for seven cents. against the
five fifty they are bringing now.
And he figures that now it has come
TO a selling proposition he wants all
there is in it,
The question will be decided in
justice court in day or two.

Contest Rumored.

Sioux City Tribune: There may be
several contests for seats in the next
congress it seems aside from the two
announced for lowans. All of them
turn upon the election returns except
one originating in Nebraska. This

biIity of the successful candidate. But
Boyd is claiming that Latta used
large sums of money in the aid of his
candidacy, and in manner which under
the Nebraska law, makes it the duty
OF the attorney general of the state,
TO start a proceeding in the nature of
custer ~ prevent the issuing by the

profit by it, but news from Washington

Opening is Still Uncertain.
Lamro Journal: When Judge Wit
ten went to Washington about two
weeks ago, it was stated that in con-
nection with the recommendation of
certain government townsites he
would recommend the postponement
of the date of filing to be changed
from the LIST to the 25th of March. 1t
is very doubtful if the date can be
changed without another proclamation
from the president. The townsites
and the change have not been official
ly made known nor are they likely
TO be known for some time. 1t IS
a question whether the homesteader
would be benefited by the change. No
one can tell what the weather will be
March /, II might be worse March
25. II takes time to put up the neces-
sary structures and ready to break
the soil when the ground is in shape.
1t would benefit Lamro, for it would
give her that much more time to pre-
pare for the spring opening.
