Schoolteacher’s Household Effects Delayed by Wreck.

Prof. P. D. Burchard, one of the new school teachers, shipped his household goods here from Elm Creek, Neb., about three weeks ago and was naturally becoming somewhat alarmed at their failure to arrive and also because he could non learn anything about them. The goods arrived Thursday night, however, but they were somewhat the worse for having experienced a wreck west of Omaha, on the Rock Island railroad. Several pieces of the furniture were broken. A letter was received by Agent Beam telling of the Wreck and making an estimate of the damage to Prof. Burchard’s shipment and ho will probably be able to have the loss adjusted without much trouble. Prof. Burchard and family will reside in the house recently vacated by Superintendent Dean on North Van Rensselaer street. 'Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith returned this morning from a weeks’ visit with his relatives at Boswell. Tljey attended the Boswell fair but found it quite disappointing, as the crowd was small and the race* very “punk.”
