Prof. Charles W. Smith OF the War
rem Business College was a visitor in this
section last Thursday. He reports a
most lourlshing condition in his school
these days, its growth in patronage and
popularity being away out of the ordi-

demand and are called for by business
concerns seemingly faster than the col

Laying Of rails or the extension of
the s. & T. road has begun at the Me-
braska end and it is thought that by to-
night the completed road will have
reached about a mile and a half below
that point. The track should be coinplet-
ed and cars running as far as the Coleman
mill by the last of next week. The new
Viele motor car is side-tracked near
Truemans awaiting repairs to an over
heated journal. It is believed the car
will be a decided success when put in
proper repair.

The only person at home during the
night was the son, Charles Daniels, who
