The news from Washington concerning the
tariff bill is to the effect that there are no signs of
agreement between the Senate and the House conferees on
the many differences in the measure as passed by the

the other hand the Senators have not as yet shown any

What pleasure is there in life with a
headache, constipation and billousness? Thousands
experience them who could become perfectly healthy by
using DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the famous little
pills. R. H. BELLAMY.
C. HORTAN has received a communication
requesting him to try and raise some food for the
suffering and starving Cubns [sic.]. He therefore
requests those charitably inclined to meet at W. D.
PRUITT's office Saturday at 2 p. m. to formulate some
plan whereby some means may be adopted to share our
abundance with suffering humanity.
Mrs. STROHM returned to Arapahoe this week

Hundreds of them migrated to this part of the country

Whooping cough is the most distressing
malady; but the duration can be cut short by the use of
One Minute Cough Cure, which is also the best known

After years of untold suffering from piles,
B. W. PURSELL, of Knitnersville, Pa., was cured by using

The amount of milk brought to the creamery
is steadily increasing, not only in the number of

the better she is [f]ed with cream producing food the
larger the reward for the dairyman.

Dead
in The Snow.
WM. SCHIEVELBEIN, of Gosper county was found
dead in the snow at Arapahoe, on Tuesday morning by the
mail carrier, SAM SEXSON, at about 6 o'clock. The body
was discovered near the hitching rack on the east side of
the main street. SCHIEVELBEIN was a resident of Gosper
county, but was well known on this side of the line. His
death presents some elements of mystery. While he was
found in the snow and it was reported that he froze to
death, yet a contusion on the head shows that he either
fell from his wagon or was waylaid. He was last seen
Tuesday morning at about 1 o'clock, when it is presumed
that he prepared to go to his home.
The report of the jury, impanneled
[sic.] by Coroner HOPPING, made the following report:
At an inquest holden
at E. N. ALLEN's undertaking rooms, Arapahoe, Furnas
County, Nebr., on the 20th day of March, 1906, before me
C. E. HOPPING, coroner of said county, upon the body of
WILLIAM SCHIEVELBEIN, lying dead, by the jurors whose
names are hereunto subscribed, the said jurors upon their
oaths do say that WILLIAM SCHIEVELBEIN came to his death
from alcoholism and cold.
Has
Tried Both.
An Nebraska exchange printed last week says
the wind was so strong that day that school had been
dismissed, a plate glass window in a store blown in and
the morning train delayed by the storm. Wonder if JOHN
JACKSON and FRANK KUEHN and W. L. MILLER don't think
regretfully of Forest Grove on such days?--Forest Grove,
Oregon, Times.
The above refers, no doubt to the
TIMES-TRIBUNE, which is read from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The facts are that there was a slight breeze
that week, but the school house has been condemned on
account of poor architecture and the plate glass Ron had
just been installed and the putty was not dry. On being
interviewed, JOHN JACKSON says that he enjoys a Nebraska
breeze in comparison with the troubles experienced in
Oregon. He had a dream but woke up. See "Only a
dream" in this issue.
Harmonious.
The republican editors of the Fifth
congressional district formed an association on March 13.
Not to be outdone in the matter of organization, the
populist editors of the Fifth district have also
organized. The organization was perfected at Arapahoe on
the same date. J. H. MOONEY, editor of the Arapahoe
Pioneer, was elected secretary-treasurer. Every populist
editor in the Fifth district was present and participated
in the work of organization. At the conclusion of the
work the entire association returned to its work as
editor of the Arapahoe Pioneer. It was one of the most
unanimous meetings ever held in the state.--W. M. MAUPIN

Last Friday night the council got busy on
three graft games and revoked they licenses. The chief

Gus Bloch.
GUS BLOCH died a[t] the farm home ten miles
north of Arapahoe Sept. 8, as a result of a second stroke
of paralysis. He was nearly 56 years of age and a pioneer
of Gosper county, homesteading there 27 years ago and has
lived on the same place ever since.
His first attack of paralysis was
three months ago and the second about a month ago. He was
apparently recovering, but a few days before death failed
rapidly.
The services were conducted at the
residence Sept. 10, by Rev. W. BAEDER of the North German
Church [Immanuel Lutheran Church]. Interment was in the
cemetery at that place.
Gus was a sturdy German of strict
integrity, and many friends join the widow and children
in mourning his demise.
Give the Hen a Chance.
Not long ago every paper in the county and
every daily paper that comes to this office published the
law and penalties regarding the sale of stale eggs. The
reports covered the pure food law thoroughly. But what's
the use?
A certain Holbrook grocer bought his
usual batch of eggs, butter, etc., last Saturday and when
he opened shop Monday morning the store resembled an
incubator. Two chicks in a top layer of eggs, in one
case, had just broken through the shell and were calling
lustily for breakfast. Evidently some one wanted to make
an even count and borrowed a couple from the hen on the
nest.
Off for Benkleman.
ROBT. HOLLINGSWORTH left Monday morning for
Benkleman, where he has accepted a position with the JOHN
SMITH Dry Goods Co. Bob has been in the large EINSTEIN
store since the MCKENNA store
closed and has worked two years without losing a day.
This is his first position away from home and we expect
him to be a frequent visitor, but he will not forget to
attend to business first and make good in his new
position.
Fish Bone in Leg.
SEIBERT, the 12-year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
WM. LEE, south of town has been troubled the past two
years with a "bad" leg. At times it would
fester and run, then apparently heal. Last week the sore
became suddenly worse and a hard substance protruded from
the wound which was running freely. The mother removed
the obstacle and it proved to be a fish bone. The boy's
leg is healing readily and will be in as good shape as
ever.

DEATH OF GUSTAVE [SIC.] BLOCH.
A
Good Man Removed From Our Midst.
Gustav Bloch was born Dec. 25, 1852 at
Kamionke, Posen, Germany. At the age of 19 he emigrated
to America and first settled in the state of Wisconsin.
Soon, however, he moved to Nebraska and first lived near
Columbus then removed to Washington county. Here in the
year 1876 he got married to Miss Emilie Schievelbein.
This union was blessed with seven children, two sons and
five daughters of which the youngest, Clara, died one and
one-half years ago. In 1881 he moved to Gosper county and
settled ten miles north of Arapahoe. On May 10th, he
suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully
recovered, being unconscious the last few weeks. He died
Sept. 8th, and was buried Sept. 10th, from the German
[Immanuel] Lutheran church, of which he was one of the
founders. His age was 55 years, 8 months and 13 days.
Gustave Bloch was an industrious man
giving close attention to his own affairs which
consequently were prosperous. He was well liked by his
neighbors and highly respected by all the people of his
acquaintance in Arapahoe and vicinity.
The funeral service was held by Rev.
Bader in the presence of a large attendance of sorrowing
relatives, neighbors and friends. In his death the
community suffers the loss of a good man. . . .

The Daily Pioneer, a four column
four page well edited and neatly printed paper emanating
from the wigwam of Col. MOONEY of Arapahoe, drifted into
our office Wednesday evening. The four days' base ball
tournament now being pulled off down there is attracting
state-wide attention and lovers of the national sport
have been flocking that way in droves. The hustling
people of Arapahoe never do things by halves, and Editor
MOONEY is no exception to his fellow-townsmen.--Bartley

with the preference for red paint shown by advertisers.
Some agencies systematically use round red signs lettered
with white. As an additional trick to attract attention
the signs are placed at crossings, before curves or near
the approaches to bridges. The frequency with which these
signs occur reduces the chance of a real warning being
noticed to a dangerous minimum, and has given rise to a
sentiment opposing the use of red paint on anything but
warning signals. It is t be hoped that the sentiment may
crystallize [sic.] into a definite movement and that we
may in the near future see the removal of all misleading
signs. A red sign and the word "stop" should
mean one thing, and only one, to the driver.

Naught
is New
One generation passeth away, and another
generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever. All the
rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto
the place from whence the rivers come, thither they
return again. The thing that hath been, it is that which
shall be don; and there is no new thing under the sun. Is
there any thing wereof it may be said, See, this is new?
It hath been already of old time.--(Eccl. 4, 7, 9, 10)
HIRAM FOSTER DIES SUDDENLY
The friends and acquaintances were shocked
to learn of the death of HIRAM FOSTER, venerable father
of Mrs. ROY PHILLIPS, which occurred at the home of his
daughter, twelve miles north of Edison, Wednesday

and seemed in his usual health. He was in Edison the day

Arapahoe Public

Thursday November 2, 1922 - Page 1
. . . Late in the evening Dr. KINNEY
and Dr. COLE of North Sanitarium and Undertaker BOWERS
arrived and made arrangements to have the body taken to
Norton Wednesday morning. From these gentlemen it was
learned that Dr. HUNTER was 43 years old, and was an
ex-service man, and that while in the serivce [sic.] he
had contracted tuberculosis. He had gone to a government
hospital in Colorado after coming our of the service and
had thought the malady had been oversome [sic.]. He then
took a position in the sanitarium and seemed to be
getting along for a while but symptoms developed which
made him believe he could not be cured and he became
despondent. He attempted suicide at Norton on Sunday, but
was discovered in time to prevent it. Shortly after noon
Monday he took his car and left the Sanitarium for a
drive and as he did not wear his hat it was thought he
was not going far. It seems he drove straight to Arapahoe
and registered under a different name so as not to be
located before he could carry out his suicidal
intentions. He is survived by a wife who is a nurse in
the sanitarium.
A
Musical Treat
The Woman's Club of McCook has announced the
first number of what the intend to be a series of annual
musical treats, staged at great expense for the
philanthropic purpose of educating the people of this
section of the state, to the finer grades of musical art.
Their advertisement in this issue announces that they
have procured Miss MACBETH, an internationally famous
singer, but a native American, who will appear in concert
on Nov. 22. A committee of women will visit Arapahoe in
the near future and will tickets and make arrangements
for reservations.
Who's
the Goat?
All the boys in Arapahoe between the ages of
4 and 40, lent a hand in decorating the village in order
that it would present an even better appearance on the
1st of November than in former years.
Some pranksters took the goats
belonging to N. H. HORNADAY and "parked" them
in the assembly room at the high school. ANDREW ARMS,
custodian of the building arrived quite early Wednesday
morning and hearing a commotion upstairs, thot [sic.] was
Coach ROUSE "getting thin to music" and after
finishing his work downstairs went home. In a few minutes
ROUSE arrived and hearing the same commotion (thot it was
"ANDY" ARMS. He had occasion to call to him,
but getting no answer, went up to see what was wrong, and
found the place infested with "goats." Being
Athletic Coach, it was his duty to wrestle said goats to
a finish and send them home to breakfast.
.
. . witches, black and yellow crepe paper, pumpkins
and shocks of corn. Everyone came dressed in a masquerade
costume.
Mrs. KILPATRICK assisted by Miss
LOUISE HARTMAN had prepared entertainment for the
evening, and the neighbors say from the shrieks of
delight (or f[r]ight) it was evident everyone had a good
time.
During the evening we had a number of
spectators and Ghosts, Ghosts everywhere. At a late hour
a lunch of sandwiches, salad, pumpkin pie, cider, apples
and popcorn balls were served.
The only thing that marred the
pleasant evening was the stealing of some of the
refreshments. But we don't mind that so much if they will
please return the cider jug.
The Camp Fire Girls and Guardian
extend a vote of "thanks" to Mr. and Mrs. ELAND
[?] for the use of their house.
Obituary
JULIUS FREDERICK ZIEBEL was born in
Schlenzie Germany, January 21, 1838 and died at the home
of his son WILLIAM, in Gosper county, October 23, 1922.
In 1867 he was married to AUGUSTA SCHIEVELBEIN. He leaves
to mourn his wife, four sons, four daughters. forty-one
grandchildren and seven great grandchildren; also one
sister Mrs. EMELIA DALKE of Milwaukee, Wis. He came to

The
Laying on of Hands
The above words are found several times in
Holy Scripture as descriptive of a Sacramental rite,
which is also commonly called "Confirmation."
According to the Bible and subsequent Church practice
"Confirmation" was administered to baptized
persons by an Apostolic Overseer or Bishop and such is
the practice of nine-tenths of Christendom today. All
Christendom believed and practiced
"Confirmation" for fifteen hundred years. The
Bishop comes to do what Peter, Paul and John are spoken
of as having done. It is for what is called "The
Gift of the Holy Ghost" and is really an ordination
of the Laity to the Royal Priesthood of all believers.
You ought to give it your serious consideration, if not
already confirmed. Read the Eighth and Nineteenth
Chapters of Acts and Hebrews, the Sixth Chapter and the
Rector of St. Paul's will be pleased to tell you all he
can about it. Come out next Sunday at 10 a. m. to Church
School, and to Public Worship at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
On next Monday evening at 8 p. m. the
Bishop will be present and preach. You are cordially
welcome to any or all services. J. C.
FERRIER, Rector.

The following is obviously part of an obituary.
Unfortunately I don't have the whole thing.--llg]
.
. . his children, he leaves his present wife, two
brothers and one sister and seven grand-children to mourn
his loss.
He was an old member of the G. A. R.
Post of Arapahoe and the oldest member of the Masonic
lodge at Holbrook, Nebr. He was one of Gosper County's
oldest settlers, taking up his homestead there in 1872.
He was loved by all who knew him and
leaves a host of friends and neighbors to mourn his
sudden departure.
"There is no death. What seems
so is transition; this life of mortal breath is but a
suburb of the life Elysian whose portal we call
death."
BIG FOOTBALL CAME FRIDAY
The Arapahoe Football team will meet the
team of the Lexington H. S. on the local gridiron
tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, at which time football
dopsters say there will be "something doing."
The Lexington team is one of the strongest H. S. elevens
in the state and have a victory to their credit from
Arapahoe from last year. The game tomorrow is to
determine whether Arapahoe stays in the "no-defeat
class" this year. The boys are anticipating a good
game and already tickets sales predict a record breaking
crowd. The Lexington team has defeated North Platte and
Holdrege and many other strong teams and are in line for
high honors.
The Arapahoe second team will also
play tomorrow, being matched with the team from
Stockville. The girls basketball team will play the
Edison girls at the school ground tomorrow afternoon
also.
The A. H. S. team traveled to Orleans
last Friday and trimmed the H. S> team of the city 31
to 0. The team was accompanied by a number of football
enthusiasts from here and they report a game full of
sport, notwithstanding the score.
