MONROE.

From the Republican.
Mr.. and Mrs Morrow Of College View,
are visiting at the homo Of their dsugh-
ter, Mn. Ohss McWilllams.
Mr.. and Mrs. O. L. Crawford and son
left last week for visit at Kalonis, Ia.
and other points in that locality.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sa. Percy and children
of Valley, Neb, arrived Saturday to
spend Christmas with home folks.

Last week Vestel Moore traded his
residence property in Monrus for res
taurant business at Merns, Neb.. and
Thursday of this week he and Mrs.
Moore lef, for that place to take charge
of it.
W. l.. Obrist and Dexter Obrist of
Centrslia, Wash, arrived last week.
called here by the serious illness OF their
father, M. Obris,. WI was formerly
resident OF this locality, but this is Dex-
tsr's frs, visit to this locality. Their
father is much improved at present, and
w. L. Christ is visiting at Polk. Neb.
for few days.
The recent change in the trains on
the Union Pacific main line has caused
much inconvience here, SO far as the
mail service is concerned. Omaha dali
les reach here in the afternoon instead OF
the morning, and this delays them twen-
ty four hours on the rural routes, and
the same condition also exists regarding
the letter mail, to a certain extent.
There has been some talk of the old sche-
dule being put back, and the additional
service on the branches has been sug-
gested. but it is quite probable that when
business on the main line picks up the
night mail train will again be rEt on.
VIM. bikes and his sister, Mrs. Preston
accompanied by slrs. Preston's haugh.
ter, arrived las: week for visit with
old time acqusintsnces of years ago. In
the early days MIR. Dikes' father owned

away by the Loup river. being located
about half way between Monroe and

now is. In 1876 Mr. bikes left here and
went west, and later moved to Texas
which has since been his home, and this
is bis first visit here in third OF a GEN.
fury. His sister, Mrs. Preston. resides
at Springfield. Neb., and SHE was here
about twenty five years ago. When Mr..
bikes left here he was boy, and he
could hardly realize that such a change
had taken place here. During their
etay they were guests Of the Kelley and
Smith families. and also c. f. Chaplin at
Oconee. They left the first of the week
for Springfield. where after short visit
Mr.. bikes will return TO his home in
Texas.

How the Salt Shaker Was introduced
to the Spaniard.

Until 4 few years ago no Spaniard
had on his dining table any other re-
ceptacle for salt than the old style
open cellar. An enterprising BritOn
saw this, noted that the salt was al
ways dirty and gummy aud deter

salt shaker from which clean salt
would run freely in the dampest
weather. Bravely he started to tour
Spain for the company.

buffed. He began to despair when.
standing one day gazing into jew

him. He entered. Realizing the child

jeweler to display a shaker in his
window and coached him about sell

CEDAR RAPIDS

From the Outlook.
The trustees sale. which was conduct
ed by Attorney Drake of Humphrey. at
the opera house in Cedar Rapids last
Thursday morning. was not very we'll
attended, owing. no doubt, to the stormy
weather. As a consequence, the bidding
was slow, The land comprised a section
in all, but not ali together. The whole
bunch was finally sold for S44 an acre.
A gentleman from Columbus was the
lucky bidder. 1t is said that some of
this land is worth better than s65 an
acre.
One OF the most unique Christmas
gifts We ever heard of was the one given
S. 5. Hadley by a neice living in the
east. The gift is a family history dat,
ing back 235 years, and it is complete
from that date until the present time
with sketches of the ancestors. The his
tory comprises about twelve sheets Of
paper the size of this page and We IN
derstand the lady who took the pains
and trouble TO fRthom oct this work,
worked six years on same. Coming
generations will have no trouble to keep
the history complete indefinitely from
now on and a thousand years hence will
make interesting reading to the members
of the family who take part in the
worlds doing at that time.

INSULTED THE KING.
The Joke Printer Turned on Louis

Tho Joke Printer Turned on Louis
Philippe and M. Theirs.
One morning during the reign Of
Louis Philippe there appeared in the
Constitutional the following startling
paragraph:
Ills majesty the king received NJ
Theirs yesterday ut the Tuileries and
charged him with the formation Of u
new cabinet. The distinguished states
man fastened to reply to the king:
~ have only one regret. which Is
that cannot wiring your neck like
turkeys"
A few lines lower down there was
another paragraph running to the fol-
lowing effect:
''The efforts of justice have been
promptly crowned with success. The
murderer of the Rue du POt-de-Fer has
been arrested in house of bad reputa-
ton. Led ut once before the judge of
instruction. the wretch had the hardi-
hood to address the magistrate in terms
Of coarse insult. winding up with the
following words. which amply show
that there remains not spark Of con-
science or right feeling in this hard
ened soul:
God and man are my witnesses
that ! have never had any other am
bitiOn than to serve your august per-
son and my country Loyalty to the best
Of my ability"

Delay Unexplained.

Pierre.-President Taft's failure to
nominate federal Judge for the dis
trict of South Dakota to succeed Judge
Garland, a vacancy having existed on
the bench for more than three months,
is exciting a good deal of comment.
The attention of the president has
been directed to the fact that the ju-
dicial business of South Dakota calls
for the appointment of Judge. De-
spite this fact the president has thus
far failed to make nomination. No
member of the state delegation at
Washington has been advised when
the president will name judge, or
who will be named. The reason for
the delay is not explained, either by
the president or the attorney general.
There is good deal of speculation
as to the cause. 1t is unusual for the
president to delay action in filling
places on the bench.

Brookings.-In the presence of about
5000 people, representing the entire
county, the cornerstone Of the new
100000 Brookings county court house
was laid with impressive ceremonies.
The Brookings Commercial club had
charge Of the arrangements, and the

comprised the cadet battalion Of the

nal orders represented here; the fire
department, with apparatus; county,
city and state college officials. Speech
es were made by some Of the pioneers
Of the county.
The county was organized forty
years ago, and the territory opened to
settlement fifty years ago, SO remi-

placed in the cornerstone contained

Of grains, coins and other interesting
relics. Brookings city kept open

Riu Ranch to Disappear.

Sioux Falls.-The latest of the big
Dakota ranches to be broken up be-
cause Of the increasing value Of land
for farm and blooded stock raising
purposes is the famous Carpenter-San-
born ranch near Pukwana. Brule coun-
ty. This ranch originally contained
$4,000 acres, but now consists Of $500
acres and extends to the city limits
Of Pukwana, none Of the land being
more than three and one-half miles
from Pukwana.
Because of its highly developed con-
dition and immense size, compared
with eastern farms and ranches, this
ranch has been the center Of interest
to visitors to that part OF the state,
and thousands have visited and inspect.
ed it during the past few years. About
one-half of the vast tract is in high
state of cultivation, the buildings and
improvements upon it representing an
expenditure Of about $250,000.
This ranch, about the only remaining
one in that part Of South Dakota lying
east of the Missouri river, will pass Out
of existence on June Is, when it will
be divided up and sold to farmers in
tracts of such size as may be desired
by the purchasers.

Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
phate Of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-

DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate Of Potash This salt unites
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. OF course, there is trace Of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life."
Further on he says: 1.-THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary. If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack Of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.
