Rev. A. F. Ploetz left last Mon
day for Plattsmouth, Neb. where
his wife was called a week previous
by the sickness of her brother. Mr..
Ploesz received word that his
brother.in.law was very low with
pernicious anemia, and the indlca-
tions are that he will live but a
short time and he decided to go at
once.
Jas. Cisar's delivery horse
slipped its bride last Friday and
took a lively run through the
streets. Little William Griffiths
was playing in front of the house
and had a very arrow escape
from being run over. Mrs. Haynes
CHANGED to be going by at the time
and had barely time to carry him
out of the way before the horse
and buggy came tearing along
right where he had been playing.
Gollmar Brothers circus exhibit
ed here last Saturday. The at
tendance was good, nearly all of
the seats in the tent being full.
The Gollmars put up a good clean
show, and use every precaution to
guard against the operation of
crooks and grafters. The men,
agerie was very slim. Some of the
stunts pulled off in the circus yer
very good, but there were no new
features, and the general i'm
preston seems to be that the show
as a whole was hardly as good as
it was wlleiI they were here before,
and that it did not come up to the
Barnes show which exhibited haze
last year.
Chas. smith, who has been llv-
iag the past year with his nephew,
DR.. Seaman, at Cherokee, Iowa,

Rapid City, died in the hospital in
Yankton Friday night, and the re.
mains were taken thru here Satur-
day evening, Mr.. Smith accom-.
panying them as far as Scotland
where he stopped off, and on Mon
day returned to Cherokee. His son
had been sick with a brain trouble
for many years, and about three
weeks ago was taken to Yankton
Friday Mr.. Smith received a tele.
gram from his sons wife, sent him
from Wolsey while she was on bel
way to Yankton, asking him te
meet her in Yankton, as her hus.
band was much worse. When
they arrived at Yankton he had
passed away.

There will be the regular services
at the Methodist church next SUM-
day, both morning and evening.
Sunday School follows the morn
ing service and the Epworth league
precedes the one in the evening.
Last Sunday evening the service
in the Methodist church was for
the graduating class Of the High
School. Rev. a. F. Ploetz gave
the Baccalaureate address which
was we'll thought out and very ap-
propriate for the occasion and at
tentively listened to by the large
audience present. The choir was
out in full force and rendered some
excellent music. The church was
decorated very neatly, there being
a %profusion Of plants and flowers,
and the class motto was hung
across the platform, which is, "No
footsteps backward" The ser.
vice was both beautiful and i'm
pressive from beginning to end.
The class of 1913 seem to be a pro-
missing lot of young people and re-
fleet credit upon our public school.
Children's Day exercises will be
conducted in the Presbyterian
church next Sunday morning, and
will take the place of the regular
service. There will be no evening
service on account of the absence
Of the pastor.
Rev. A. F. Ploetz left Mondas
noon for Plattsmouth, Neb., where
his brother-in.law is seriously ill.
Because of this the session of the
church has allowed him to take
his vacation at this time, and he
will visit his mother who lives at
Winona, MIMI, and will make a,
short stop-off at Minneapolis and
be back for the Sunday service of
June 29th.
A congregational meeting of the

Easy to Locate the Poles.

Suppose a person who vas igno-
rant of astronomy and the method
of taking observations should set
out to find the north pole. How
would he know when he reached it ?
BY setting up a vertical rod and
measuring its shadows at frequent
intervals as the sun passed around
the sky. If these shadows all re-
manned of the same length during
the suns course through the heav-
ems, the ignorant explorer would
then know he was at the pole. If
the lengths of the rods shadows va
ried during the twenty-four hours
he could not be at the pole, and the
direction in which the shadows fell
shortest would indicate the way in
which the boreal point lay. Of
course such observations could only
be made during the "arctic day"
that is, when the sun is above the
horizon in the northern ATTITUDES.

Tibetan Teamakina.

An Englistman while in Tibet
was invited out to tea and learned
the art of teamaking as practiced in
that country. 1t appears to be some
what as follows:
For six persons boil a teacupful of
tea in three pints of water for ten
minutes, with a heaping dessert
spoonful of soda. Put the infusion
into the churn, with one pound of
butter and a small tablespoonful Of
salt. Churn until the combination
is of the consistency of cream.
The Tibetans prize butter for its
age. The best is often forty, fifty
or even sixty years old.-Harper's.

MExIcANS AS FIGHTERS.
Despite Splendid Courage, They Never
Won a Battle From Us.

The battle of Buena Vista was
one Of the decisive battles of the
Mexican war. There were about
10000 Mexicans to some 5000
nited States troops engaged, and
result put the northern part of
azico at the mercy of the United
lates.
1t may be said that as it was in
that battle so it was in every battle
Of the Mexican war. From the be-
ginning to the end the Mexicans did
not win a solitary victory.
The Mexicans showed a splendid
courage. In nearly every instance
they greatly outnumbered their adj
versaries, and in nearly every in
stance, again, they had the advan-
tage Of position. Still the Ameri-
cans invariably beat them.
At Palo Alto 1000 Americans
routed 5000 Mexicans, and at Resa-
ca de la Palma the odds we're about
the same. At Monterey. Taylor,
with 5000 men, stormed a place
that was defended by a force 1000
strong. At Buena Vista the odds
we're four to nj against the Amer
leans, as they we're also at Sacra-
mento. At Sierra Gordo General
Scott, with 5000 men, found Santa
Anna strongly intrenched with 49,
900, and yet he walked right over
him, killing and wounding 1000 of
his men, capturing 5000 and dis
persing the rest. Finally Scott,
with 1900 men as against 10000
of the enemy, won Churubusco,
Chapultepec and the City of Mexico
itself.
Thus in every instance through
out the Mexican wal were the invad-
ers victorious and Notwithstanding
the fact that the advantage in num-
bers and in position was invariably
with those whose country they were
invading.
This is a decidedly unique fact in
the history of warfare, since it
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to find another conflict between two
nations in which there was not, to
some extent at least, a division of
the honors of the battlefield.
The explanation is left for the
psychologists and for those who
study the deeper traits of men and
nations.-New York American.

Candles Used as a Clock.

Various expedients for measuring
time were in use before the inven-
ton of clocks. Alfred the Great
caused six tapers to be made for his
daily use. Each taper was twelve
inches long and of proportionate
diameter. The whole length was
divided into twelve parts of one
inch each, of which three would
burn for one hour, so that each Ia
per should be consumed in four
hours. The six tapers, lighted one
after another, lasted twenty-four
hours.-Indianapolis News.

Oysters Killed by seaweed.

Extensive ravages are often COM
mfted by seaweed spores in oyster
beds in a very curious fashion. The
weed grows on the shell of the oys-
ter and is Of an oval shape, solid at
first and afterward filled with wa
ter. Ii often attains the size of a
hens egg or even of a mans fist.
Left uncovered by the tide, it splits
and loses its water. This is replaced
by air, which is imprisoned by the
next rise Of the tide. The seaweed
now acts as a balloon, raises the oys-
ter from the bottom and floats with
it out to sea Hundreds of thou
sands of oysters are thus lost.

Elephant Police.

The sight Of six pairs of ele-
plants simultaneously at work cap
turing a half dozen struggling,
trumpeting males is an imposing
one. Like a pair of animal police
men arresting a prisoner, the great
beasts side alongside a victim, take
him between them and jostle and
squeeze and worry him, tail first, to-
ward a tree. Every inch is contested
by the herculean fighters until near
ing a stout tree OF stump the little
brown elephant catchers slide from
their mounts to the ground, crawl
under the ponderous animals, slip
cable sings about a hind foot and
take a turn around a tree.-Strand

The AGE of Elizabeth.

The class in English history was
in session, and the professor was
telling of the impressionable age at
the time of the Elizabethan era.
After speaking for some minutes on
the subject he turned to one Of the
young men and asked:
GLOW Old was Elizabeth, Mr..
Holmes? ?"
The young man 0 a faraway
expression.
Eighteen ON her last birthday,
sir" came the reply.-Lippincott's.

THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
You Can Do IL Better Because Your
Mind Will Be Clearer.


To say "Think before you eat"
sounds something like "Look be-
fore you leap" and there is really
just as much reason for one as for
the other, according to many au-
thorities who have long studied
mankind to learn when they were
capable of their best thinking.
If a man is dependent upon his
life work by means of his thinking
it is just as important that he should
choose that time when he is best
qualified to think as it is impor-
tant that he should look before he
crosses a street.
Morning, before breakfast, is said
to be the very best time for think
ing. There are always exceptions.
Then, again, there are many who
declare they can think better at
night who perhaps never made the
experiment of giving serious thought
to anything before breakfasting.
Men who employ thousands of OPP
eratives, clerks and such people are
agreed that their employees produce
a great deal more work during the
hour before they go to lunch than
they do during the hour right after
lunch.
Of course the reason for this is
quite natural. The food taken into
the stomach calls upon the blood to
help do its share in the work Of di-
gestion, and this leaves less blood in
the brain. When all the blood goes
from the brain, or nearly all, a per-
son becomes unconscious-that is,
utterly unable to think at all in
any degree. Consequently it is only
logic to claim that anything that
takes the blood from the brain de-
tracts just so much from ones
thinking capacity.
Probably the majority of novelists
do the best part of their work in the
morning. Many Of them take a
very light breakfast, a cup of mild
coffee and some toast, and then
write four Oh five hours. After that
they take a hearty meal and devote
the remainder of the day to play
that is, to idleness or exercise or
motoring or anything that amuses
them, but does not call for brain
concentration.
A great many business men have
a habit of debating all their letters
the first thing upon entering their
office in the morning. Other let
tiers that come through the day are
unanswered except in cases of neces-
sity until the next morning. In
this name these men are able to
think clearly and concisely and
quickly in the morning and dictate
much better letters-letters that
are clearer and of more value to the
business man.
After a big dinner, a specially
hearty meal, we feel dull and heavy.
Feeling like that, we are certainly
not as brilliant mentally as we were
before eating.-New York Ameri-
can.

MASSES
Are TO Turn Out at a Meeting
to Discuss the School
Problem.

Residents OF Northview are con-
siderably worried over the school
situation there, some OF them being
OF the opinion that the suburb will
not have any public school this year
because quarters either have not or
can not be procured for the accom-
mediation OF the pupils. There ara
nearly 700 school pupils in the town.
The anxiety over the situation has
reached such a point that a commit
tee of citizens has called mass
meeting for 1880 O'Clock Tuesday
evening next, September 16, in the
Trunick church there for the pur.
pose of discussing it and If possible
to devise ways and means for the
education of the school youth of the
place.
Work has been started on the
'erection of large brick and stone
school building in the town, but II
is not believed vt viii be completed
and ready for occupancy for the
present school season. Twelve
teachers have ben engaged by the
board of education of the dtstric.
but the question of sufficient quar-.
tiers has not yet been satisfactorily
settled.

brown pelt-real leather walrus, seal
or morocco grain-from your automo-

these two extremes in Leather come
innumerable cOnveniences. One OF
them, the handy pocket kit, comprises
a neat leather case containing q large
knife, small saw, a chisel. a cork
screw and a wrench Another is
pigskin case containing a fiat, flash
like glass, folding knife, spoon and
fork, and third is a leather combina-
ton case lined with silk and contain
Ing pockets for handkerchiefs, gloves,
wells and pins. Not unlike the last
mentioned case, is a silk-lined recep-
tacle for neckties.
There are three types of sewing
