Lincoln, Nebr., Feb. 5, 1911.
To Missouri Valley Times and
Friends Father was operated
on at the Lincoln Sanitarium
on Febr. End and is doing as
we'll as could be expected up to
this writing. He is very weak
and has not been able to be seen
by any of his outside friends
ere this. He tells us he will
be able to go home in a few
days, which we trust that he
will. Father was on the oper-
ating table fifty-one minutes.
The two older sons were pre-
sent during the operation, and
they state that they have new
er spent fifty-one minutes in
all their life that seemed more
like weeks than those when
they stood watching their dear
father operated on. We want
to especially thank the Eastern
Star Ladies and the Dr's. Gam.
BILE & Gamble for their beauti.
full flowers sent to Lincoln SAM
ltarium for our dear husband
and father. We also want to
thank the railroad men fol
their kindness and help during
the present sickness of father
Will close hoping father will be
able to go home in the neal
future. Yours with bes1 wishe!

Must Turn to Left.
Des Moines, Ia, Feb 3 - At
ter a heated debate the house
of representatives this morning
passed the Dunlap measure
which requires that all vehicles
shall in the future turn to the
left instead of to the RI, hit.
The cause for this is thai the
steering apparatus on automo-
biles is on the right hand side
and the driver can accordingly
see better what he is doing if
ne turns his machine to the
left than if he 5urns it to the
right.

Few Divorces Granted

Few Divorces Granted.
Logan, la, Feb. 5. Though
Harrison County has a popula-
ton of $4,000, but 10 divorces
were granted to 20 applications
in the county in the year 1910.
Sixteen divorces were granted
to wives, and two granted to
husbands. 1t is also a notewor-
thy matter of record that 176
marriage licenses were recor :
ded for the year 1910. While
the divorce imp has been active,
cupid has surpassed him by a
ratio of almost 10 to /.

Practical Road Work
Sheldon Sun: State Senator
Balkema, of this dirtrict, has
introduced senate file No. 11f
for an act to revise the road
laws. We have received a
copy of the bill and it seems
practical. 1t would make roao
work a business matter-not 9
holiday, as it has been in many
communities under the old sys
tenn. 1t would make each
township a road district anc
require the work to be done
under direction of a man who
is competent to handle the job
1t also provides for a school Of
highway instruction, encour'
ages the use of wide-tirec
wagons, creates the office Of
county highway engineer anc
defines his duties; fixes the
compensation ard responsible
ties of the township officers
elc. We see that the bill has
been quite we'll received by the
Legislature, and we apprehene
that it will at least form the
basis of a new road law fol-

Georgia, charged with the theft Of
some chickens. The negro had the
misfortune to be defended by a young

it is doubtful whether any one could
have secured his acquittal, the COM
mission of the crime having been
proved beyond all doubt. The darby
received a pretty severe sentence.
THANK yo' sah," said he cheerfully,
addressing the Judge when the sem
tence had been pronounced. Oats
mighty hard, sab, but it amt any
thing what I expected. I thought,
sab, dat between my character and
