—There is some talk of running
a cleb saloon in the near vacinity
of Ashton. With three saloons in
town paying the legitimate saloon
license as required by law, it don’t
seem reasonable that our dealers
would submit to such infringements
imtbeir line of business and it is
of general opinion that Ashton will
not stand in on such a deal.
—The Ashton village board met
Monday night and re-organized for
the ensuing year with E. G. Taylor
as Chairman; W. C. Dunkcr, clerk;
I. M. l’olski, treasurer; and Thos.
Jarnrog as street commissioner.
Liquor licenses were granted to
Frank L. Jezewski and Stanislaus
Galczenski. The board then ad
journed to meet the next night, at 8
o’clock to grant other saloon licenses
and transact the general routine of
business.
—The splendid frnit trees at Tom
Jomrogs’ residence and the gardens
in that vacinity of town wtra al
most ruined by the blizzard of last
week. Messrs Jamrog, Marvel, (ial
czewshi, Ojendyk and J. P. Taylor
had some of the finest fruit trees,
Grape vines, etc., as could be found
in tbo state of Nebraska, and in
which they took great pride. Owing
to the extra care given them by
irrigation methods, they were natur
ally early bloomers, and seemed to
Lave been more effected by the frost
than ordinary nursery stock would
be under natural conditions.
—There seems to be some discus
sion and strife in Ashton township
otlicial circles, so to speak. At the
last annual meeting the voters pres
ent ruled that the township board,
the township clerk and the assessor,
appoint a justice of the peace, as
that ollice, at that time, was consid
ered vacant, the former justice be
ing a hold over without having filed
a bond as the law requires. Thereon
the remaining two members of the
board met and discussed an ap
pointment. Finally a mutual agree
ment was made by the board to
appoint the J. P. if a good bond be
furnished. The person appointed
was duly notified of the appointment
and recieved a certificate of the ap
pointment signed by the clerk, and
thereupon had a good and sullicient
bond signed with good and respon
silbe men for surities. Now comes
the remaining member of the board
and refuses to sign the certificate of
appointment, and therefore the
Ashton township legislature is in a
dead-lock, so to speak. The ap
pointment made was the Hon. J. F.
brnitb. >10 further comment on our
side is necessary. All we have to
say is that we recieved the appoint
ment in good grace on all sides and
would have administered the affairs
of the office in a good, fair and up
right manner, without bias or pre
judice, being just in all things to
friend or foe.

BRO. DICKEY'S PHILOSOPHY.
“Don’t min’ a man w’en you hear
him sayin’ de devil’s to pay. De devil
is de patientest creditor in de country.
"I makes no doubt but what deys a
few politicians in heaven—but dey
ain't makln’ no stump speeches ter do
angels.
“De sayin’s is, Poverty teaches les
sons ter folks, but w'en 1 sees him
cornin’ I mighty quick decides dat I
don't need a eddication.
“Ef dey wuz a railroad runnin' ter
heaven some folks would wake up too
Into ter ketch de train, en den blame
de engineer for not blowin’ de whistle.
“Dey's so little er de place what
Satan lives at preached in dis day en
time dey has tor put steam heaters in

Monograms on Peaches.
The peaches placed on the tabla at
a London dinner party bore the mon
ogram of their owner traced distinct
ly in the velvety bloom. Letters had
been cut from paper and pasted on
the growing peaches. When the fruit
was ripe on removing the paper let
ters the monograms were found
picked out in most delicate green, the
rest of the fruit being rosy and deep
hued.
Nothing By Comparison.
Congressman Loud of California
was badly beaten in the race last No
vember. On his way east to attend
the opening of Congress the train on
which he was traveling was partially
wrecked. A colleague congratulated
him on escaping serious injury uul
Loud replied: “Oh, that was nothing
after the wreck I was in on election
day.”
Fact and Poetry.
Dr. Lyman Abbott is undoubtedly
right in saying that we cannot sing
of the nickel plated faucet as we did
of the old oaken bucket, nor have the
same feeling for the hole in the floor
the heat comes through as we had for
the old time hearth; nor can we write
of the water bug in the pipe as of
the cricket on the hearth. But who
w'ould go back to the poetic old-fash
ioned inconveniences?
BRIEF DISPATCHES.
If you “soger” you'll never make tb»
“tin.”
Brass is needed In the manufacture
of gold.
It is only the loser who is permitted
to laugh.
Three of a kind are not always a
kind three.
It is easy for a man to be straight
when he’s flush.
Mamy a girl thinks a four-flush is
worth drawing to.
It takes a toper to get the juice out
of the corn market.
A corner in corn is usually to be
found in a tight shoe.
Humor is a butterfly which disap
pears when you pin it down.
The writer who explains too much
insults the intelligence of his readers.
To appreciate a joke what is needed
is not a diagram, but a little gray mat
ter.
Many a man who takes a “horn”
finds himself coming out at the small
end.
A girl has lost some of her winning
ways when she loses her straight
flush.
The financial sharp says that many
a man who is short on the market is
long on coin.
When a woman is convinced that
her speech is silvery she usually talks
at a sixteen-to-one rate.
Snow takes the shine out of a sl oe
and ice sometimes takes it out of the
man who wears the shoe.
Many a man who blows his own
horn does so because finances have
forced him to compromise on beer.
Kan6as Working Overtime.
Two crops of strawberries and the
second yield of early apples is the
reported record of Kansas during the
past season. What's the matter with
the Sunflower State?
Blessing the Danube.
In Roumania there is a custom of
publicly blessing the River Danube
on Christmas day. A largo cross of
ice is carried before the procession.
An Indian Superstition.
Howison tells in his “Travels in
Canada’’ how his Indian guide begged
him to keep still on Christinas eve in
the woods in order the* they might
6ee the deer kneel to tne Great Spirit

C37; they are now $11,670,574; In a
few years they will be $20,000,000.
The Strength
of the coffee you buy adds to Its
value in the cup.
Lion Coffee
comes to you fresh and of full
Strength, always in sealed, air-tight
