Father John O'Keefe is the new priest of the Coal Creek parish. The DuBois Farmers' Union is making arrangements for its annual picnic. Governor Capper will deliver a patriutic address on the Congregational lawn at Centralia or. Sunday evening, August 5th. Forty bridges have been condemned in Doniphan county by the county engineer.

Wonder how many would be caught in Nemaha if they were closely inspected? A company is erecting a large plant for making vinegar at Troy. This is likely to reduce quite effectually the product formerly converted into "applejack" in Doniphan county. Chautauqua managers discover conservation has set in. Many chautau-quas left small communities in arrears, and the rush to sign up for next year's engagements is not noticeable. The Congregational shepherd of the Sabetha flock has hiked for his summer vacation and all through the long, hot month of August that organization will have a rest.

Both preacher and congregation are to be congratulated. A Vermillion merchant laid aside selections from a batch of fresh eggs a farmer had brought in. Entering the store next morning he heard the chirp of a chick and approaching the eggs laid aside found one of them had hatched. CASEY'S REVENGE. Ml1 JAMKD WW.TOX There were saddened hearts In Mudvllle for a week or even more) There were muttered oaths and ourses every fan Id town was gore.

"Just think" said one "bow soft It looked with Casey at the ball And then to tblok he'd ito and spring a busb league trick like that." All bis past fame was forgotten: be was cow a hopeless "shine," 1 bey called blm "Strike-Out Casey," from the mayor down tbe line, And as be came to bat eacb day bis bossom beaved a sigb While a look of hopeless fury shone in mighty Casey's eye. The lane is long, Boraeone has said, that never turns again, And fate, though fickle, of teu gives another obaucd to men. And Casey smiled his rugged face no longer wore a frown. Tbe plctber who bad started all the trouble came to town. All Mudvllle bad assembled: ten thousand fans had come To see tbe twlrler wbo bad put big Casey on the bum And wben bo stepped Into the box the multitude went wild.

He dotted his cap In proud disdain but Casey only smiled. "Play ball," tbe umpire's voice rang out, and then tbe game began; But in that tbrong of thousands there was not a single fan Wbo thought tbat Mudvllle bad a chance; and with tbe setting sua Tneir hopes sunk low the rival team was leading "four to one," The last halt ol' tbe uloth came round, with do change in tbe score; But wben tbe Urst man up bit safe tbe crowd beiap to roar: Tbe din Increased, the echo of ten thousaud shouts was beard Wben tbe pltoher bit tbe second and gave "four bails" to the third. Three men on baso-nobedy out three runs to tie tbe game, A triple meant the highest nlcbe In Mudvllle's hall of fame: But bere tbe rally ended and the gloom was deep as night When tbe fourth one "fouled to catcher" and the flftb "flew out to right." A dismal groan in chorus came a scowl was on each face Wben Casey walked up, bat in hand, and slowly took bis place; His bloodshot eyes la fury gleamed; bis teeth were clinched in bale; He gave bis cap a vicious book and pounded on tbe plate. But fame is fleeting as the wind, and glory fades away; There were no wild and woolly cheers, no glad acclaims this day. They hissed and groaned and booted as they clamored, "Strike.him out!" But Casey gave no outward sign that be bad beard tbe shout.

The pitcher smiled and cut one loose! across the plate It sped; Another biBs, another groan "strike one!" tbe umpire said. Zip Line a shot, the second curve broke below tbe knee "Strike two," the umpire roared aloud; but Casey made no plea. No roaBting for the umpire now bis was and easy lot, But bere the pitcher whirled again was tbat a rifle shot? A whack! a crack! and out through space thelother pellet flew A blot against the distant sky, a speck against the blue. Above tbe fence In center Held, in rapid whirling flight Tbe sphere sailed on; the blot grew dim and then was lost to sight. Ten thousand hats were thrown in air.

ten thousand threw a lit, But no-one ever found the ball that mighty Casey hit! Ob, somewhere In this favored land dark clouds may hide the sun, And somewhere bands nolouger play and children have no fun; And somewhere oyer blighted lives there hangs a heavy pall; But Mudvllle hearts are happy now for Casey hit the ball.

(Jetting In Shape for Work. The local Red Cross Chapter is arranging for four separate classes of instruction one for men and women in first aid to the injured, another for women in elementary hygiene and home care of the sick, a third for women in home dietetics, and a fourth for women in the preparation of surgical dressings. These classes-will be instructed by a physician and a Red Cross nurse, approved by the bureaus of medical and nursing service of the American Red Cross. 'This should prove a very fine thing for the ladies of Seneca ane Nemaha county desiring to take advantage of such valuable instruction. Further announcements will be made later concerning the matter.

Meyer, Jn 226 Reception for the Soldier Hoys. Monday evening, as per arrangement by the W. R. an informal reception and hearty god speed was tendered those who had enlisted and leave Sunday to join their companies. The Universalist church lawn was packed with relatives and friends to show their 'Interest and express their good wishes to those offering themselves to the service of their country.

All felt the serious character of the work in which they are about to enter. They fully appreci ated the importance of getting behind them in seeing that they are provided with the necessities and given the care so essential to winning victory for their own country and the world in this struggle for libeity which their forefathers established and builded in the new world, and for which many thousands had freely given their all, even to placing their lives upon its altars that a "government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." The Seneca Concert band gave in soiration with its stirring music, and speeches sparkling with sentiment and patriotism fell from the lips of Judge R. M. Emery and Revs. Dr.

Thayer and A. J. Morton, who admon- ished them to guard well their char acters and health as well as their loyalty and heroism in the face of battle and always to remember that they are Americans in example as well as in their soldierly qualities. A solo by Mrs. John Emery was excellently rendered and highly ap-j predated by all.

A collection was taken to create a fund to purchase little luxuries to be' forwarded from time to time that will remind them of home when the regular diet of the soldier has lost its taste. Thig will be gathered and sent to the officer of the company to which they belong who will see that the proper ones receive the sweets that give solace to the palate and stir memories of those who are "left behind."

We have been busy getting settled. Did you get my cablegram? I sent one the day we landed. We are not allowed to write anything about military dope, so don't expect it. You know-more about what is going on than we do, anyway. This is a different country than I expected to find.

They have much dif ferent- ways than American peoeple. They "are very friendly and do all they can for us, but it's hard to understand them. If I only had your knowledge of French I would be right in it. We know how a fellow feels who comes to the states that can't speak our language; but we will learn as they do. This is a great country for wine.

Everybody drinks it. There are a good many vineyards, and as good gardens as I ever saw. They farm every acre they can, Well, enough of that. I was made mechanic while coming over. It is different work than I expected it would be.

It is more car penter work than anything else. No machinery like I was used to hand ng- get $6 more a month, and if we get 20 per cent I will get $42. I got a letter from Embert as I left the states, Just two months ago today we both left Fort Logan, We had mail call last night only got one postal that was forwarded from E1 Pas0 trom Mrs- L. D. Allen, received the paper, too.

France, It Takes to Buy Beef. Tuesday morning a Tribune re porter saw Henry Kramer, step out of a meat market with a bundle not mammoth in size, and was informed that it was a $6 roast for thrashers. Farmers, like Henry, with wheat to thrash, are about the only sort of people who can indulge in such luxuries. Occasions of that kind this year are sort of picnic affairs, and Henry was fixing to fete and feast his company. Motorist Stuck In Dust.

iu hiuck in uie mua is an ex- Penence common to all motorists. It ls unusual though to get stuck in dust. But such was the experience near Centralia. He had a wife and two children. Another married man was away from Hiawatha a day or two before and returned unexpectedly, and it is said some Hiawatha man, found in the wrong stall, was badly beaten up.

A St. Joseph post mortum says Dr. Furnish died from wounds, bu fails to say where or how he' received them. Laid the Cornerstone, Thursday morning Old Sol was throwing off heat recklessly, but did not deter the program arranged for laying the cornerstone for the Masonic Temple. Before the hour set for the services the lodge room was filled by local and visiting members from Sabetha, Corning, Oneida nnd other places.

The services were observed, as pro vided on such occasions, with Judge W. I. Stuart, deputy grandmaster of the State Grand Lodge of Masons, master of ceremonies. The march to the site of the Temple having been made the services began with prayer by Rev. A.

J. Morton, followed by the ritualistic order for such observance. A talk made by Judge R. M. Emery set forth the purposes and object of Masonry and also dwelt upon the undertaking and aspiration of the lodge at this time, and later at the dedication of the building It was expected that the greatest event of any lodge in this Immediate locality would crown the efforts of the heroic work assumed by Seneca Lodge No.

39, A. F. A. M. The box placed in the cornerstone contained coins, documents of the lodge, copies of the local newspapers, etc.

Minor Motor-Auto Accident. Saturday evening T. Olson and Ed Plummer made a conjunction at the corner at the turn after crossing the Seeley bridge, coming north. The motorcycle struck In such manner that it took the front wheel off Olson's Henry, which was about all the damage done. Of course they were both running slow at the time or it would have been more serious.

Mrs. Thomas Burbery went Summerfield Thursday to spend few days with her home folks. 1236 Frank G. Nordhaus, t9 432 Norman Beeghley, 60 18 Clarence Sigler, 61 652 Michael A. Lehner, 62 927 John E.
