Bogart pad John Meyer who recently went to southern California are now comfortably located for the winter at Long Beach, a suburban resort near the sea coast a few miles out from Los Angeles.

In this little village each house has a name instead of a number and, Nimrod-like, Bogart naturally for his habitation a place "Pelican Lodge."

The holiday features of Christmas and New Years will be somewhat lacking this year as they occur on Sunday. Vernie the infant child of Mr. and Mrs.

Elmer Patterson died last Sunday night of inliamation of thebowles, the funeral being held at the Christian church Tuesday afternoon. Glenwood's street grader was put to novel use Tuesday. It was operated along the west and north sides of the square to remove the large banks of snow that had been piled up in the gutter near the side walks by the late storm. A letter has been received in the city from Legrande Bates, the OPINION'S printer soldier boy who is on his way to the Philippines with Co. C.

It was mailed at Honolulu. Like many of the other boys he was good and sea sick the first few days out. Jno C. Davidson of this city has been appointed a deputy tax collector by treasurer Wallace and entered upon his duties past week. He is to look after delinquent personal taxes and if you are owing Mills county anything along this line he will be' after you.

Yesterday's dispatches from Washington tell of the granting of a patent to Mose Nichols, one of Glenwood's well know carpenters. It is for a mitre box and is quite an ingenuous invention. Mr. Nichols, who is at present at Ottumwa where he has been working for several months is to be congratulated on his good luck. Horses are a sort of hobby with Frank Wright and he has a penchant for dealing in them rather extensively.

They are not the painted hobby horse like Scott Robinson sells but are the genuine live flesh and blood article. Frank has a way of picking up a bunch now and then and occasionally sells a car load. At the present time he has about a hundred roaming about in the pastures on his Center township farm that are surely a nice looking lot. A paper is being circulated to help clear up a small indebtedness that remained on the home of. Charley Anderson at the time of his death several weeks afro, and is being quite generously responded to by our warmhearted people.

At their recent meeting the board of supervisors remittee the taxes against the property anc the prospects are now good that Mrs Anderson and her family will have a little home free from debt. The bal ance remaining on the mortgage is $60. The program at the Glenwood wo men's club next Monday afternoon promises to be an interesting one, anc will be in charge of the "Home and Educational Department." Follow ing is the program: Answers to roi: call by quotations from Fruebel in Child Mrs. F. M.

Powell; Recitation, "Little Boy-Blue," Mrs. W. B. Gunsolly for Mrs. F.

E. L. Hester; music. The meeting will be held at 2:30 and those having It In charge deslie a full at- tendence of members who are requested to. come prepared to discuss the papers.

The writer in company J. W. Carter enjoyed a trip through a portion of Center township Monday. The latter's farm two miles north of Hills dale was visited and every thing was found in good shape for the winter, being under the efficient care of Mr, Ora Harold. The past year Mr.

Carter has expended about $1000 in improvements and now has a fine country home, being situated on the divide between the valleys of Keg and Silver Creek and commanding a fine view in every direction. J. W. is feeding about 100 head of hogs and some 50 head of steers that are looking particularly fine. The annual delinquent tax sale of Mills county will be held at the treasurer's office in Glenwood next Monday.

The list of town lots and farm property that will be sold for taxes was published in full in the OPINION Nov. 17th. The list includes property in every town and township in the county save one. This is Anderson township In the, north-east corner of ihe county. 'Here every farm has had the tax on it for 1897 paid which is a most creditable showing.

Two other townships came very near being exempt. These were Indian' Creek which had but one piece of land advertised and Deer Creek with only Treasurer Wallace will begin sale on farm property and the Irst piece on the advertised list will be taken up. This is, in Ingrahain ownship, after which the following order will be observed St. Mary, Glenwood, Center, Silver, Ireek, Indian -Creek, Deer Creek, White Cloud, Rawls and Lyons. Every elty and town in the county is epresented.

Mineola has the fewest ots on which the tax is unpaid, having but two while Glenwood would naturaly be supposed to have the most, but this is not so. Pacific Junction has quite a few more lots advertised than does Glenwood. Malvern comes third, while Silver City and Hillsdale are extensively repre- DISTRICT COURT Now in Session, at of Proceedings Up to Date. ss John H. Clark, of Council is the reporter for the present Congressman-elect McPherson was 1 over attending court yesterday ftoin Red Oak.

Malvern's three Baird and been in attendance at court this week. Judge Macy takes hold of matters with a dispatch that means that the present term will not last long. Judge W. Macy came down from Harlan Monday night and opened up court bright and early Tuesday morning. Quite a number of witnesses from near Wheeler in Pottawattamie county were here this week in attendance on the Fogelsong case.

Lawyer Cook, the newly elected county attorney, wears a look of contentment these days, that bespeaks his satisfaction with the recent election. In the garnishment case of Kingman Co. vs G. M. Young of Henderson the latter confesses judgment to the amount of $125, the costs also being taxed up against him.

Frank Shinn of Carson was attending court here this week. Years ago Frank was admitted to the Mills county bar and for years practiced here. He enjoys a visit to old scenes occasionally. Lawyer Sullivan of Creston was in court Tuesday being hereto look after the interests of the Anchor insurance company against whom suit has been brought by JimTnylor. Mr.

Sullivan is quite well known here being a brother of Mrs. Underwood. Attorney Frank W. Miller of Council Bluffs Is attending court in Glen wood this week. Mr.

Miller had a valuable lap robe and whip stolen from his sleigh while attending church on last Sunday night. However we hope Miller will not give up church going. Geo. E. Shaw, of Hastings, was elected foreman of the grand jury while John Ebaugh acted as clerk This is the last session of the present grand jury (unless recalled like they were at the September term) for 1898 and they were formally dismissed by Judge Macy yesterday afternoon.

A warmly contested case is going on as we go to press the State vs Wm. Cummings, who was indicted the last term for the larceny of $40 from Dick Smith's home near Hastings last summer. L. Genung is assisting Shirley Gillillanc in the prosecution, while Judge Lewis is, being assisted in the defense by Ed Mitchell of Sidney. The grand jury was organized Tuesday morning as follows: C.

W. McManigal, Glenwood; J. F. Dyke and W. G.

White, Hillsdale; Frank Bennett, Pacific Junction; J. T. Rains, Malvern; Geo. E. Shaw, Hastings.

The following were excused from duty: D. G. Jamison and John Meyer, Glen' wood; Robert Sowers, Henderson; Smith, Pacific Junction; and C. E. Bruen, Emerson.

An amusing incident occurred in court Tuesday afternoon during the trial of the Fogelsong divorce case. Stenographer Clark was trying his best to get Geo. Fogelsong's harrow ing tale of domestic woe, which amid frequent gesticulations was being reeled off at a rapid gate, when sud denly his pen broke and in sheer desperation he cried out, "Hold on! I're broke my pen" Court, counsel and the audience generally had a good laugh at the mishap. Yesterday afternoon the petit jury panel was sworn in, there being 19 of ihem, five having been excused as follows: J. E.

Skadon, Milton Knight, B. L. -Byers, Mose Nichols and M. Kehoe. 'This leaves the following as iurors: J.

W. Carter, A. P. Myers, M. R.

Parker, C. L. McKnight, Wil- aur Finchem, R. D. Hammond, Louis Busse, Sam Estes, A.

J. Glassburn, S. S. Leech, Vol Plumb, J.W. Miller, Gid DeBolt, John McCarthy, C.

F. Wells, Marion Miller, W. W. Ais- J. J.

McCoy, and John Deitcher. In the case of A. Winkler vs H. Evernham the latter's lawyers, Messrs. Lewis, Dean and Genung, -esterday filed a motion for a more specific statement of the matter in dispute.

This is a ease that grew out of the Wlnkler-McMillan fight at the last term, wherein It was made to appear that the Purcell property in Red Oak belonged to F. Evernham rather than to McMillan. Mr. Winkler now brings suit against claiming of. him the sum of $583 as his equity in that property.

The same lawyers are retained as were in the former cast? and it will.be Interesting when it comes on for trial. The case of Chas. Kroon of Pacific Junction vs. L. A.

Sherman has been settled out of court. The dispute of the Chicago Cottage Organ Co. and Geo. Foulks of Malvern has been settled out of court. A permit to sell intoxicating liquors for medicinal purposes-was granted to A.

J. Howe, the Glenwood druggist, Tuesday. Judgment was yesterday rendered in the suit for the collection ot a note instituted by Cathriae Briggs against John Adams. Hon. Geo.

Cullison of Harlan has been in attendance at court this week, being one of Geo. Fogelsong's attorneys in the divorce case. A decree of foreclosure was rendered against J. C. Vaughn of Chicago in favor of Geo.

Mickelwait. Vaughn is an interested party in the G. B. Van Horn property in this city against which a decree was awarded last term. W.

J. C. Smith as guardian of Isaac Cattron yesterday made application to sell a 15-acre piece of land in Oak township and apply same for benefit of his ward. The land is valued at $45 per acre. An answer was filed Monday to the plaintiff's petition in the big $5000 damage case from Deer Creek, by the defendant's attorney Shirley Gillilland.

The case is that of Scott Edie ys James Linden and will come on for trial tomorrow (Friday) and will be the most important case probably of the term. Rev. W. J. Watson of Malvern was yesterday made guardian of W.

W. Goodwin, the aged and feeble father of Mrs. Watson, and who has lately come Into possession of a portion of an estate in Ohio valued at about $2000. Mr. Goodwin makes his home with his daughter at Malvern.

Rev. Watson, whosq bond was fixed at $4000, had previously been appointed temporary guardian by Judge Smith. After a short session the grand jury reported yesterday afternoon, returning five indictments, as follows: Ed Miller, Charles Johnson, and Garret Shelby, for being the three Tarkio chicken thieves who recently served out 30 days sentence. An indictment was also found against a party not now in custody, while the fifth man is Editor S. Ed Brown of Hastings, who was indicted for publishing a libelous article about County Attorney Gillilland.

The assessment case of Richard Mickelwait a well known and wealthy farmer against the city of Glenwood was submitted yesterday afternoon to Judge Maoy who now has the matter under advisement. The facts are already quite familiar to our readers. In June, 1896, Uncle Dick, who had lived there for 35 years, left his farm south of town and since then has resided here at the Commercial housej Believing him to be a resident of Glenwood, Assessor Jackson last winter entered his name on the books for taxation. Mr. Mickelwait resists this proceeding and prefers to pay his taxes in the township rather than the town where the rate is higher.

Various circumstances rendered it a very fine point of law with few if any precedents to go by. Uncle Dick's lawyers were E. B. Woodruff and P. P.

Kelley while City Attorney C. E. Dean looked after the interests of Glonwood. The first case taken up this term was that of Emma vs Geo. Foglesong, a divorce proceeding.

It was finished yesterday afternoon, Judge Macy still having it under consideration. Foglesong is a Pottawattamie county farmer living near Wheeler and in June '97, came over into the realm of good Queen Mills in search of a wife. He found one and the subsequent history Of his matrimonial venture is quite well known to our readers. The bride was a Mrs. Emma Banister living near Malvern who now brings the action For a divorce coupled with a request for 12,000 alimony.

The trial of the case caused no end of merriment but had in it very little, of a salacious character. According to Fogelsong's figures they lived together just 78 days during which time a lively domestic Comedy in three scenes was enacted, namely'a "Storm Scene," a "Milk Scene," and a "Butter Scene." In answer to Mrs. Fogelsong's request 'or alimony two documents were produced. One was called an "Anti- 'iiptial Contract," in which the wlley eorge sought to have his bride-to-be sign away her right of dower, while other was an agreement signed last Mys. Fogelsong rellnquish- ug tvll claims on him in consideration of $500 paid in various ways.

Henry 3aird was the plaintiff's lawyer while Cullison of Harlan acted for she defendant. The Ladies Cemetei'y Association will meet with Burgess next Tuesday, Dec. (ith. at p. m.

The regular monthly meeting of the old soldiers' relief commission was held at the auditor's office Saturday. Only routine business was transacted. James W. Langmuir the past week sold to R. G.

Warfield 40 acres in the southwest corner of Deer Creek township in section consideration $1800. The union Thanksgiving services at the Methodist church last Thursday was rather poorly, attended. However, those who did gp. heard a good sermon by Rev. M.

D. Reed of the Congregational churah. Farmers report thai the recent snow drifted worse in sosae places than it has in years. Some of the country lanes, especially, those running east and west, were almost impassable on account of high piled snow. Rev.

F. R. Leach left Monday for Shenandoah where he will assist the Baptist pastor in. special meeting for two weeks. Later an the Shenandoah pastor will c.ome here lo help Mr.

Leach in similar meetings. During his absence the Baptist pulpit will he filled by Rev. A. C. Calkins of this city.

Since removing from Glenwood to his Center township farm J. M. Miller seems to have come in contact with prosperity in various ways. He has just lately completed a fine large barn while at the recent election he was made a justice of the peace. Squire Miller is now the proper way to address our old friend Joe.

Several lovers of the' sport from this city attended the annual foot ball game at Council Bluffs on Thanksgiving between the Iowa and Nebraska University teams. The contest was a close and exciting ono from the start and resulted in a victory for the Iowa boys by a narrow margin of one, the score standing 8 to 5. J. D. Hardin of Chariton, who is a live stock solicitor for the was in town on business Monday and Tuesday and while here went up into Oak township to look at Tony Gettler's famous herd of Hereford cattle, which comprises 75 head of "white faces." Mr.

Haydin has had wide experience in tng live stock business and pro- nounuqg Mr. Gettler's male Herford, "Mereupy," the finest animal he satf. Some of Hillsdale's refractory citizens are inclined to make merry over the recent election whereby both of the justices-elect of Center township reside at a distance from town. Justice J. M.

Miller lives one and a half miles north while Wm. Van Orsdel. J. lives an equal distance east of Hillsdale. They calculate that an irate citizen will have to get pretty mad before wading that distance through the snow drifts into the country to swear out a warrant, A dozen or more long looked for letters were received here Friday from Co.

boys which were mailed from Honolulu Nov. 14. They tell of much sea-sickness on the way from San Francisco. The voyage to Honolulu lasted eight days, the Pennsylvania arriving off the islands Friday night, Nov. 11.

On Nov. 16th they again set sail and it is thought they will reach Manila by next Wednesday, Dec. 7th. Should the steamer arrive on time, the fact will at once be cabled over, and by this time next week we trust to hear of the safe arrival of the 51st. In a letter to his parents Harry Tubbs states that Dr.

J. N. Agan of Silver City who' enlisted with the Council Bluffs boys, dropped off at Honolulu and will practice medicine there. We also learn that Harry Vaughn of this city had to be left at Honolulu, being unable on account of sickness to go on to Manila. While on the islands the 51st foot ball team defeated the Oahu College eleven 21 to 0.

The annual high school side hunt which came off last Friday resulted in a victory for the crowd of which Claud Deupree was captain which scored a total of 224 pointa as against the other side's majority of 10. The party consisted of fourteen, there being seven on a side, as follows: With Claud Deupree as Glen Wilkins, Walter Bailor, Clifford Purcell, Charley Wilkins, Reuben King, Percy Jackson. With Prof. Laird as Woodrow, John Robinson, Clarence Culver, Homer Rose, Ralph Laraway and Charley Woodruff. A total of 51 rabbits, 18 quail, 8 crows, 5 squirrels and 4 birds were 'killed.

By agreement rabbits were to count five points, quail 5, squirrels .5, crows 3, and birds 1 point each.
