many persons over 85 years old there
are in this county, and the other coun
ties of the Willametet valley. We
would like to secure the names of
as many as possible, as there would
be no better way to advertise the
county than to show that we have
more person of that age than any
other part of the United States. We
hope our readers will send in the
names of such persons, and let us
make up a golden role of honor of
the aged men and women who are
living in our country and enjoying
life in our wonderful climate, that
we all believe so favorable to per-
sons of advanced years.

Ill Health Is More Expensive Than
any Cure.

This country is now filled with
people who migrate across the conti-
nent in all directions seeking that
which gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths
of them are suffering from throat
and lung trouble or chronic catarrh
resulting from neglected colds, and
spending fortunes vainly trying to
regain lost health. Could every suf-
ferer but undo the past and cure
that first neglected cold, all his sor-
row, pain and anxiety and expense
could have been avoided. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for
its cures of colds, and can always be
depended upon. Use il and the more
serious diseases may be avoided. For

NEWS FROM THE CREAMERY.
Prospects Are Bright md Frightening
Expert Butter Maker From I'LL.
nOiS In Charge.

We were gratified on a recent visit
to the Creamery to find conditions Sd
favorable. Mr.. W. W. KEYS. who
has just come to US from the State OF
Illinois, is now in charge, and having
been for some time engaged in the
business, is an expert a. it. Twenty
five farmers are sending in milk daily.
some two thousand pounds each day.
from which one hundred pounds Of
butter are being made. Next week
two routes are to be opened, and the
hope is that the daily receipts will
a Mount to 1000 pounds a day, and
that will put the plant upon a paving
basis. But one hundred farmers will
yet be sending in milk, and then we
will rejoice together at the success of
the new venture. The milk is all re-
ceived by eight O'Clock each morning,
and the farmers take back the milk af
ter the cream has been taken. and
record of his butter fat is kept, and
this determines his pay in money.
When the routes have been estab-
lished, we understand that one man
will gather up the milk for each route.
and get certain pay for delivering it.
This gives new work for some one or
more, and we trust profitable work.
The butter is pressed into pound
shapes, and we never saw better in
appearance The onion taste is all
gone, and the most fastidious must be
pleased with the article. While there
we read letter from a Philadelphia
firm which has been handling butter
for years made by Mr.. KEYS, and they
say that the mere fact that it is made
by him gives assurance that every
pound of it can be sold at good prices
IN that market If there are any
doubling Th0masses in our midst we
feel that they will have their donbts /
removed by a visit TO the plant. and /
talk with the manager. It gives us
real pleasure to make this favorable +
report. and we have done so after
personal inspection of the plant. We
sill keep m close touch with the
and keep our readers
July advised + what is being done.

Engineer Permits COmradG TO
Jump First in Train Crash,
PASSENGERS ESCAPE INJURY
Express From Norfolk, Va, Collides
With Freight Train on a Siding
Near Salisbury, Md.-8aggagemas-
ter and Express Agent Injured.

Salisbury. Nd, May 26.-Engineer
Edward T. West. of the Norfolk ex-
press. which crashed into a freight
train standing on a siding two miles
south Of this place. died a hero by per-
hitting his fireman. Lee Cox, to jump
to safety first.
1t was impossible for Engineer
West 10 jump from his side OF the en-
CINE. as that was the side that hit the
freight train. He had to wait for the
fireman 10 jump and then he tried to
save himself by jumping. which he
did. but the express car toppled over
on him, cutting him in two and smash
ing him beyond recognition.
The fireman jumped just in time,
barely escaping the car which killed
the engineer.
W. w. Wright, who had charge Of
the express car, was badly injured
about the head and face, and William
Guthrie, baggageman, who was in the
baggage car, had his arm badly mash
ed and was cut about the head and
body.
The engine drawing the express
was demolished and buried in sand
banks along the track. The freight en-
CINE was badly wrecked, the driving
wheels and cab being torn of. Pas
sengers on the express escaped injury,
except slight bruises. One express
car and two baggage cars were de-
molished.
Traffic was stopped completely until
a track could be built around the
wreck. The cause Of the accident is
shrouded in mystery. The express
train was moving rapidly at the time,
being about on time and having the
right Of way.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Deepest Gully in City Will Soon Be
Brought to Grade.
CONTRACT NOW DULY EXECUTED
Recent Legislative Act Makes II
Possible to Assess Cost Against
Entire Length Of street
Affected.

.ELH ~ H.-
The contract and bond for grading M
street from Thirteenth to Twenty-fourth
street. has been duly executed by the
mayor and city clerk and will be before
@ei city council for approval in the meet
ing this evening. This is one Of the
largest contracts for grading which has
been let in the city for ten years. Dan
Harmon has this contract, which involves
the moving of about 1901 OO cubic yards
b earth. The greater part Of the work
IS a fill between Twenty-third and Twen-
beth streets. Here is the deepest gully Of
DC city. It is likely that the work Of
Frading this street win begin this fall, as
Die workmen can keep ahead Of the frost
for several weeks yet.
Some protest has been entered against
this Improvement on the ground the ex-
pense is so great it will mean the con-
fiscation of the property to make this
grade. The ell will have so broad a base
that II will cover about half of some of
the lots on the street. The last legislature
passed an act which provides that the
cost of improving one street may, IL neces-
sary, be assessed against the entire length
OF the street. This is the case with the
M. street grading. The expense will be
borne by all the property owners between
Twenty-fourth and Thirteenth streets. This
expense will be about 1900.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the exper-
iment OF leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum in its place and in this way re-
gaining health and happiness can learn
much from the experience of others who
have made the trial.
One who knows says: Il drank coffee
for breakfast every morning until l had
terrible attacks of indigestion producing
days Of discomfort and nights OF sleep
lessness. 1 tried 10 give up the use OF coffee
entirely but found It hard to go from hot
coffee to a glass Of water. Then l tried
Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that / soon learned to love il and
have used It for several years. l inn
proved Immediately after l left off coffee
and took on Postum and am now entirely
cured OF my indigestion and other trou-
bles all Of which were due TO coffee. 1
am now we'll and contented and all because
l changed from coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make right
every time than coffee for II is so even
and always reliable. We never use coffee
now in our family. We use Postum and
are always we'll"
There's a reason and it is proved by
trial.

STANDARD OIL ENDS FIGHT
Compromises with State OF Oklahoma
by Organising New Pipe Line
Company.

BARTELsVILLE. Okl., Nov. 1.-The
Standard Oil company has compromised its
controversy with the state OF Oklahoma by
organizing the Oklahoma Pipe Line com
pany, to build an elght-inch pipe line to
carry oil to the STANDARD refinery at Baton
Rouge, La. Construction work will begin
at once. and it is expected that oil will
be flowing through the line by February l..
The company will be exclusively a COM
mon carrier and will not buy oil or own
property in Oklahoma, save for the purpose
OF operating its pipe lines.
The building Of this new line, which will
be an Oklahoma corporation directly under
the supervision Of the state corporation
commission, will bring to an end the fight
that Attorney General West has been maxi
ing on the Prairie oil and Gas company, a
Standard company, since the beginning of

TOO MANY SERMONS WASTED
New Pastor In Dundee Points Out
Weakness in Church.
MUCH TALK AND LITTLE SAVING
Two weeks Mission for Catholics e.
Begun at Sacred Heart Church
by Fathers Dwyer ana
Clemens.

For 1 determined not to know anything
among you except Jesus Christ and Him
crucified." This part of Pauls first letter
to the Corinthians was appropriately taken
as the text for his first sermon by Rev. C..
E.. Fisher, the new pastor OF the Dundee
Presbyterian church, Sunday morning. He
said that he did not come Boosting Of any
worldly I'VE but simply to teach the
gospel Of Jesus Christ.
The human incrustations gathered
around the preaching Of the gospel are the
greatest hindrance to the evangelical
world said Mr.. Fisher. There are too
many pulpits preaching anything but the
full gospel OF Jesus Christ. In many dues-
tons Of today the gospel IS so distorted
that it takes 5000 sermons to save one soul
instead Of one sermon being able to save
5000 souls, as Paul did.
The Corinthians were to hear OF a new
power and wisdom, and Paul gave them to
understand thot Gods thoughts were no
more like mans than any other dissimilsr
things. God planned the great scheme Of
creation so as to exclude the hlndrance OF
man. Paul assured them that he would
brush aside worldly wisdom and that his
preaching would be Of Jesus Christ and
Him only, and that he would have nothing
else in his mind. He did this because he
saw that Jesus Christ and His cross were
essentials Of Christianity. He thought that
Christ had not been preached about as He
should be.
IF we nave a good idea Il should be a
prevailing idea Paul understood that IL
there was one idea paramount to all II
must be the central idea, and that should
be the personality of Jesus Christ. He re-
allied that II he could get men to love and
serve the Master as he did all would be
well.
There have been many mighty sons of
God, men who nave been leaders in re-
ligious and other great movements, but in
the literal sense Jesus Christ was the real
Son Of God. He was the person that Chris
tianity's greatest preacher decided to make
the theme of his preaching.
THE central fact Paul made prominent
in reference to this great person is the
cross. Christ crucified is the central fact OF
religion, the adequate condonement of the
worlds sins, the only hope Of the sinner
and the mighty motive Of appeal for the
unsaved soul. II a man breaches a full
gospel he will preach all these things.
The keeping Of Christ and His work in
conscious knowledge is a work OF determ'
nation, a matter Of choice and a matter
Of the will. There will be a complete break
with the old life of sin and a complete sur.
render to God, who is equal TO do his part
Are you and I equal to do our part?"

TABLE ROCK-The poles of the Table
Rock Electric Light Company are all up,
wires are being strung and the work is
being completed as rapidly as possible, so
that the company expects that the current
will be turned on about December / and
Table Rock will be Illuminated by cleo

half of the way to Humboldt, from
where the current is TO be brought.
TABLE ROCK-The boilerhead of the

damaging the machinery to such an ex-
tent that 1t was sent for repairs to Kan
sas City. A piece of the flying metal
struck the engineer, John Mathewson, on
the thigh, but, quite fortunately, he was
not seriously injured.
TECUMSEH-BeTt Richardson Of near
Crab Orchard, who was injured in a run
away near Sterling a week ago, is said
not to be recovering as he should from
the effects OF his rough experience. He
was severely injured and is yet in a crit
ical condition. Mr.. Richardson was thrown
from his buggy.
TECUMSEH-There is a scarcity Of farm
hands to help gather the crop OF corn in
