John Daniels returned Friday from
Montana where he informs US he has
purchased a section of land and ex-
poets to ship out the fore part of next
week.
The strong wind Tuesday evening
rocked the ferry boat while it lay
anchored at the landing until it dipped
water and sank to the bottom of the
river. A gang of men are working
to raise it, but they are finding it a
difficult matter. Until the ferry is
rescued there will be no crossing at
this point except by skiffs and motor
boats.
Capt j. C. Hutton lost his way
home in the dark last evening soon
after nine o'clock when he was re-
turning from the post office and
walked over the river bank west of
his home falling about fourteen feet.
He was severely bruised and stunned
and his left ankle was fractured.
He was unable to walk or climb from
his perilous position and his continu-
GUS calls brought no assistance, 30 he
was obliged to lie near the waters
edge throughout the cold rainy night.
Mrs. Hutton supposed he had spent
the night up town, and did not give
the alarm until about eleven o'clock
this morning when Will Brown, Geo.
w. Snow and Sam Richmond went to
investigate and soon found Mr.. Hut
ton at the foot Of the chalkrock bluff.
He was helpless on G cunt Of his
injuries and exposure to the cold and
wet but was conscious, fully realizing
his perilous position.

Otto Schmittgall il here from Bill

leaving for New York City tojoin the
marines. He says that 1854 young
men enlisted at Billings and they all
leave together next week, and from
Baker, Mont. 2S9 are going. The
latter is only a small place to turn
out such q large number. The war
spirit is surely high there.

AS no other well had been drilled

Catarrh Sufferers
Don't Know Sometimes They Have
catarrah.. How to Tell.

Many people suffer from cattarrh
and it's effects without really knowing
it. They know they hawk and spit,
that they have foul breath, poor up

cat don't taste the same, their sense
of smell is failing and they don't hear
as clearly as they used to.
Generally, all these are symtons OF
cattarrh and may show that slowly
but surely the generally health is be
ing undermined by this disgusting and
annoying catarrhal condition. Sprays,
lotions, salves and creams can give
only a slight temporary relief because
they do not strike at the roots Of the
trouble.

madoe Evans Acts Par. cleverly.

career of little child raised in pow.

girls mother dies, decides to take care
of her. For the latter part Of his life
this man has been consummate
crouch. but the child's personality
brings so much sunshine into his empty
existence that he soon changes his dis
position. A considerable amount OF
interest is added by the plot Of some
schemers who attempt to prove that It

grandchild.

the little duchess that is quite remark

one so young that is a delight to watch.

audience with very few instances OF

prominent in child prodigies. She con.
tributes great measure OF the appeal

"The Fable of the Uplifter and His

one Of the attractive features of TO.
days Nelson program. The story
runs:
Once there was litry guy. One day
he dashed off an operatta, but cruel
theatrical manager suggested that he
sell the manuscript to rag man. Fl.
nally the litry guy found a manager
who had lot of courage in risking
other peoples coin. Following the
opening night the critics classified the
show as persimmon. Then the man.
ager got busy on the manuscript. He
hired a bunch OF chorus kickers. The
litry guy protested in vain. After the
manager got through jazzins the play
the litry guy recognized nothing but the
scenery, but the next box office report
showed the gate was jumping at the
rate Of $50 a night.

Randolph Olson,
Pioneer Citizen,
Commits Suicide

Conscious of the fact that his lite
had been despaired Of and that his
death was expected at any time, Ran
dolph Olson, o. years OF age, and a
resident of Omaha since 1882, Thurs
day noon stole a march on the grim
reaper and committed suicide at his
home at 5000 Sherman avenue.
Olson. who for many years was a
Waterman for a South Side packing
house, has suffered from tuberculosis
of the stomach for some time. Sew
eral weeks ago his physician told him
he had no chances of recovery and he
became respondent.
Thursday noon Mrs, Olson, who
was i'll in bed in another part Of the
house, heard revolver shot. She
fastened to the bath room and there
found her husband seated on chair
with bullet hole squarely in his fore
head.
In addition to his wife, Olson leaves
four sons and four daughters, Three
of the sons live in Omaha. They are
Arsine, Oscar and Emil.
The body is at Crosby's parlors.
