Plaint of Allover,| Neb, Looking for Colonel Welsh, Exoites Loyal, ‘When General C. O. M. Plaint, Allover, Neb., registered at the Loyal Tuesday morning, there was & general hustling of the bell hops and Manager Taggart to see that the general was properly quartered and ertertained. The general's first inquiry was for his old triend, Colonel L. A. Welsh of the weather bureau, and as he disappeared In that dl- rection with & gun it began to look as if something was going to happen. But as the weather bureau had shut down for the day after holsting the cold wave flag, the gen- eral returned to the hotel and .quieted down. He finally admitted that he merely represented the ‘“general complaint all over Nebraska'' on account of the weather and then changed his patronymic on the register to plain John Smith. The army was not called out. Bottle Vanishes, 1. G. Pegg lrate Measure of Fime Liquor Disappears || from Wagon of City Weight Inspector. John Grant Pegsg, city Inspector of welghta and res is full of bitterness. His cup runneth over, but his bottle is | gone. That's the real difficulty.

A man who will steal a bottle off the”ecity Inspector wagon while it I8 on officlal business is gullty of treason. He Is & renegade to eivilization, n unregenerate and withal a villain, ““That bottle was a present to me, and to steal It in the face of & cold wave s double injury."” PIONEERS OUT !N NUMBERS TO ATTEND ANNUAL MEETING ns County Old Settlers Rally at Masonic Hall at Noon and Hear Address by Judge Estelle.
