| Little Albert Weiland, who has been
in the Methodist hospital at Omaha
since Christmas, is improving SO that
it is thought that he will be able to
| come home before long. The little
fellow, who is but eight years old, was
injured last October while at school.
The bone in the leg below the knee
became diseased and he has thus been
laid up all these months. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be we'll and strong
when he comes back.
The Lee Clothier family is in quar-
antine for scarlet fever, the victim
being the eight year old daughter. A
trained nurse is at the home caring
for the patient This family has been
very unfortunate this winter in hav-
ing an unusual amount Of sickness
and this seems almost as If their cup
was running over. 1t is said that
there are a number of cases OF this
disease in the vicinity and that two
schools are closed as the result. 1t
is to be hoped that the disease will
not spread any farther.
Miss Mamie Bell came up from
Omaha Saturday for short visit with
her parents, returning to her work

Baber were Denison visitors Monday.

An addition has been built to the
meat market. The business has in
creased so much that it outgrew it's
quarters. A sure sign of prosperity.
P. w. O'Meara has purchased the
residence of Professor Gates. Mr..
Gates will probably purchase another
residence as he is reelected as prin-
cipal of the schools here for the en-
suing year.
