the hoppers:
lie procured pan eight feet long,
similar to those so successfully used
two years ago in Turner county, and
supplying himself with few gallons OF
kerosene and Il little concentrated lye
he mixed the two latter in a pan, and
then with one horse attached to the pan

Il FALSE REPORT CORRECTED.
There is {; story in circulation to the
effect that F. J. Porter charged me
with two Sundays of lost time, while
working for his wife last year. Said
report is wholly untrue. Mr.. Porter
charged me with only five and one hall
days of lost time, that l actually lost
OF week days. CARRIE EvENsON.
Going down to Sioux City the Other
day, we had our first grasp at the hand
of Buchanan, of the Lemars Sentinel

It was lucky for us that we took {
dollar and quarter along with us O.,
the rr::rllt excursion, or we should have
returned without any money. The tri1

tor can stand a draft like that on hi:
resources without calling on his patron!
to pay up. Come in, gentlemen an(
make it up to us.
