heir to some property in Sweden,
which word has been received here
during the past few days. The
word was received in Extra, and
was sent to Mrs. Schmidt, who re-
sides in Sioux City, but owing to a
change in their address, they were
unable to locate her fol several
days, to inform her of the be-
queathal.
Mrs. Schmidt, who was formerly
Miss Hilda Reisgaard of Extra
arrived here Monday, called here
by the message. The will is written
in the Swedish language, and has
not yet been completely translated

OUR CTY'S BAND
GOES 'I00T|hG' ON
Although at Many Times its
Death Seemed Near, it
Has Again Revived

Extras Band, which has been in
state of Information for several
months past, crawled out of its
winters quarters this week, yawned
once or twice, then stretched itself
and sailed forth. feeling much re-
freshed after its long snooze. When
it came to enough to realize what
had happened it found itself newly
organized, with a brand new set of
officers, well, in fact, with every
thing new but its reputation.
The boys felt so elated over the
outcome of their meeting Monday
night that they footed their own
horns lest they would not be toot-
ed' and impaired to us the infor-
nation that ere long our little city
will have a band which will place
her on the map.
At their meeting they elected
DR.. Oldaker,' Business Manager
Rev. Henry, Leader; Lincoln Stat
zell, Secretary and Treasurer
Hugh Price, Librarian. Also i
committee on Rules and Regula
tlons was appointed, consisting O
Arthur Statzell, DR.. Oldaker, Rev
Henry, Hugh Price and Will Spoo
Rehearsals were planned for eacl
Monday evening, but as thei
meeting night this week and mex
interferes with other plans, they
agreed to meet on Wednesday
nights for these two rehearsals at
ter which they will return to th,
night originally set.
They intend to make their frs
appearance in public on Memoria
Day, May 30th, and are putin!
forth their best efforts to make th
day success. May their path b
strewn with roses.

Strangle Hold at Work

The Journal notes that a number
OF the Republican newspapers of
Guthrie and Dallas counties CON
tain ads run by Mr. Hoogenakker,
which give, and are plainly meant to
give the impression that he is the
only candidate for the state senate
from Audubon conutys
This may be taken as an illustra-
ton of the strangle-hold at work.
Ii MIR. Hoogenakker can smother
Mr.. Mantzs candidacy through his
influence with the party press, he
stands to win, regardless of the will
OF his party in Audubon county.
To combat tactics of this kind is
not easy. The most effective means
for every Republican in the coun-t
ty to vote QUICKLY in the Jour
nal Referendum. The Republicans
OF the other counties will listen to
this argument and to NOTHING
ELSE; but as shown in our Wealth
er Eye Department this week, the
time is short.

BE STILL, SAD HEART,

Behind The Clouds Is The
Sun Still Shining; Thy
Fate Is The - Etc"

In order that our people who are
continually roaring about high pri-
ces in these days of prosperity may
wake up to the fact that they are
not being so badly dealt with after
all, as compared to the way their
ancestors were "held up during
the Civil War, and in order that
they may be more satisfied with
the way the world--or rather the
merchants--are using them, we
bring to their notice list OF ar
ticles and their prices quoted from
a price list handed us by one of
our subscribers and which was
dated August 81, 1864, together
with the present day quotations on
each.
At that time calico was quoted
at SOC per yard while it may be
obtained at the present time for
zoe and 22c per yard; ginghams
which sold then at 4Sac are selling
now for 3Sc; canton flannel quoted
at 75c then can now be bought for
35c; apron checks which brought
SIZE are now being sold for Soc,
while "a sheeting which met with
ready sale then at $l45 is being
offered at the present at Sl.l5.
So cease your roaring cause
prices are soaring
And be glad that you have the
silver to spend;
Good wages you're drawing---to

If you manage it right you'll
have money to lend.
