GENOA.

From the Times.
Members of the school board visited
the schools Monday and warned children
not to loiter on the streets after school
but 60 direct to their homes. This pre-
caution has been taken to prevent, if
possible, a visitation of spinal meningiti-

prominent medical authority, that spin
al meningitis germs are carried in dust
blown from the street, and that the dis.
ease is not contagious like scarlet fever
and diphtheria. The complaint prevails
in many localities in Nebraska at pre-
sent. In one town ia the western part
of the state eight cases OF spinal mening
tits were reported. al! of which we're
fatal. The disease has prevailed in
Polk county for several weeks. Out of
forty cases reported only six proved fat

Genoa are in Prairie Greek township, and
here the disease is confined to one fam
lily.

The Greeting Table.

A fad OF the moment that is a
pretty one in the way of household
decoration is the greeting table that
stands just within the door, and is the
first thing that the guest sees. 1t may
be a plain affair, but it must con.
tain a vase or pot of flowers. In sum.
mer it is easy enough to have fresh
flowers each day, but in winter the
plant on the greeting table must be
something that blooms and will not be
hurt by the draught from the open
door. Pink oxalis is suggested as q
hardy plant for this purpose or the
florist may be able to suggest some.
thing even better.

chests like Col Sellers of lamented
memory. A little stenographer in
her building over near the city hall,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, had
been observing this popularity in the
lords of creation. One day, having
surprised a man making more de-
nberate and careful scrutiny than
usual, she expressed her opinion to
James," the elevator man: You
needn't talk about the vanity of wom-
en- after that" she exclaimed, scorn-
fully; men look at themselves twice
as long and twice as intently as the
vainest woman that ever breathed."

ASTRAL VOYAGE TO TEHERAN
Detroit Theosophist Insists That He
Was Projected Across the World
While Asleep.

That in his sleeping hours recently
he became an actor in an episode of
the period of rioting and bloodshed.
which has been taking place in Tehe-
ran, the capital of Persia, is the belief
of A. E. Madgwick, 2875 East Grand
boulevard, says the Detroit Free Press.
Mr.. Madgwick is one of the most thor.
oughly erudite theosophists in the
country.
Like all theosophists who accept the
ancient Vedantist philosophy, Mr..
Madgwick holds that during profound
sleep, the SELF or "ego' leaves its
earthly body and wanders at will
through the universe,
"Of course, all dreams are not Of
one Glass;" said he cautiously. after
he had with some reluctance consent
ed to talk Of his personal experience.
However. for this dream of mine:
I seemed to be in big city with queer
oriental houses and narrow streets.
As I walked here and there I heard
the sound Of guns. and the yells and
shrieks and horrible sounds that nat
urally accompany fighting and massa-
ere in the streets. Suddenly I came
upon q body of soldiers who, as
knew from their uniforms. were Rus
slams.
These soldiers were killing, and to
get away I ran up q side street or al.
ley with a high wall at the end.
There I met another man who was
also trying to escape.
I'VE ran for the door Of house and
my comrade, who seemed determined
to take care of me. pushed me inside.
As he did 80. I saw the CLEAN Of
bayonet and knew that he was gone,
though I was safe In the house. The
shock awoke me.

that 1t was to Teheran that went in

PLATTE CKNTER
From the Signal.

From the Signal.
Wednesday morning the atmosphere
was chilly enough to set tho Sons OF
Rest to thinking about appointing q
committee to look up some place other
than the railing of the bridge to hold
their daily sessions.
The dam at Thomson & Cossairt's
roller mill sprung leak again last
Thursday of sufficient size to allow the
water to escape in a few hours. While
the break is not very serious one. and
could be repaired in short time and ct
very small cost, the repair could only
be temporary at best Since the pre-
sent party has owned the mill, . period
of ahoutS years, some nine thousand
dollars has been expended in rebuild.

that be- will no, put another dollar into

here Friday. and after looking the mat
ter over expressed determination to
move the mill to NJ. adv Grove and run
it with "gas producing plant" Tor
power. L. is poss BILE that he Can be in
dnced to leave it here. The same power
that will run 1t at Meadow Grove will
run ii here, and it can be moved up
town without disturbing piece OF ma
chinery, while to move it up there it
will have TO be all torn to pieces, cost
ing many times as much as to leave it
here. There is certainly no better point
in the state for e mill of this size than
Platte Center. There is plenty OF wheat
raised here and SO far as market for
mill products is concerned ready sale
has always been found for every pound
they could manufacture The business
men here and the farmers hereabouts
cannot afford to do without mill, and
il is hoped that Mr.. Thomson will change
his mind before he takes any decisive
step.
Bertha Kluver, eldest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Kluver, living on Ed Per-
kinson's farm, two miles southeast of
Platte Center. died last Thursday morn

age was ii years, l month and l6 days.

Franklins Maxims of Success.

Eat not to dizziness; drink not to eleva-

Speak not but what may benefit others
or yourself; avoid trhing conversation.
Lose no time; be always employed in
something useful; cut off all unnecessary
actions.
Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently
and justly, and, il you speak, speak ac-
cordingly.
Tolerate no uncleanliness in body,
clothes OF habitation.
Be not disturbed at trifles or at acci-

Drive thy business; let not thy business

Early to bed, early to rise, makes man
healthy, wealthy and wise.
He that hath a calling hath an Office OF

One to-day is worth two to-morrows.
Buy what thou hast no need Of, and ere
long thou shalt sell thy necessaries.
They that won't be counseled can't be

&. A. Parcher Sells the Great Rem
edy that Cured Mrs karberg.
Here is very simple yet wholly sim
cere statement OF Michigan woman,
who was cured by using Hyomei-the
no cure no pay remedy for catarrh,
asthma, hay fever, Group, coughs and
colds.
IA bad case of catarrh was cured for
me by the use of Hyomei. The trou-
ole affected my head, nose and eyes,
and was very annoying and disagree
able, and the cure, from the use of
Hyomei, was very gratifying. Hyomei
has from me strong recommend and
endorsement."-Mrs E. Karberg, 213
Kingsley ST., Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov.
Is, 1908.
Thousands of just such letters are in
existence, and thousands more would
be but for the desire to avoid publicity.
If you have catarrh, bestir yourself,
and drive it out of your system. Kill
the germs. You can do that easily if
you use Hyomei pronounced High-o-

Slightly Mixed.

In small country newspaper offices,
where the copy goes from the editor to the
compositor, then, after printing, directly
to the subscribers, the need OF proof
reader is often felt. In this connection
William Allen White, the Kansas news
paper man, tells OF an amusing break
made by boy in the office of such news.
paper in that state. In ''making up" the
forms the boy got the galleys mixed, with
the following result:
The first part OF the obituary OF an i'm
pecunious citizen had been dumped in the
forms, and the next handful of type came
from galley in which was a description
OF fire. The subscribers we're greatly
startled when they came to the paragraph
which read thus:
ssThe pail bearers lowered the body
to the grave. 1t was consigned
to the flames. There were few<if any re-
grets, for the old wreck had been an eye
sore to the town for years. OF course,
there was individual loss, tbut hat was
fully covered by insurance.
