that the Germans were heavy buyers of con-
soils. This would have easily accounted for
the advance, but few traders bothered their

ALMOST INCREDIBLY BRUTAL.

The night Mrs. Whitmarsh wa.
drowned, dance was going on at thu
residence of Bob Whitmarsh, cousin O
her husband, and although the news O
the accident was brought there soon after
the dance was kept up until morning
Now, while we are as fond of the 'hght
fantastic as anybody, yet under sucf
circumstances, it seems that decency ano
decorum, if nothing else, would have
prompted the dancers to stop; the thought
of two corpses lying beneath the turbio
water In such close proximity, must have
been anything but pleasant.
The above is from the Crow correspond.
ent of the Kirwin Indetendsnt. The
mother and her babe referred to were
drowned short time ago under the most
distressing circumstances. She had, we
believe, been to point on the B. & NJ, in
southern Nebraska, to take her husband
home. She missed him. In returning to
her home, in Phillips county, Kansas, she
drove the team onto bridge which was
covered with water, on account of the
swollen condition of the stream. Alas!
the bridge, which the poor woman
thought was in good repair, was already
partly washed away. Not only were she
and her precious babe drowned, but the
team also persisted. Some time was re-
quired to find the bodies of the mother
and her babe. Both were buried in the
same grave.
Such action as it attributed to that
dancing party is almost incredibly brutal;
yet an average mixed crowd of dancers
are just about as apt as any other crowd
which you can name to be criminally
thoughtless, to say the least.

true to those whom our gratitude is due.
Ones moods are controlled to some ex-
tent ours largely = by his financial con-
dition. Much of the time since we have
been conducting the WORLD, our income
has kept such slow pace with our outgoes
as to prevent our casting what might be
termed respectable smile.
Now, counting our own labor on the
WORLD, the cost involved in running this
paper is not less than one hundred and
seventy-fve dollars a month-$2,100 a
year. It is needless to add that the total
receipts are so little in excess of this sum
as to render very small the profits when
the capital invested, the insurance and the
taxes are considered. Whenever anybody
thinks that he can take our place, fill it
as an editor and publisher, and get
wealthy, we are the man for him to con-
suit. Ifthere is in him anything but swell
head, brag, incompetency and general
worthlessness, he will buy us out in short
order. Any person who has in him any
of the qualities of newspaper man can
buy this Office more cheaply than he can
start new one, and if such a one gets it,
he can make living.

From all quarters come reports of
trouble from loco weed. One tells how
he is obliged to confine portion Of his
cattle, because they Immediately seek the
weed as soon as liberated. Another re-
ports his neighbours cattle very weak from
it's effects; and yet another, how year
ling was brought home from the herd so
weak it could scarcely walk, and, after
receiving good care for a few days, was
given freedom, when, as if to demonstrate
fully its disease, it eagerly sought bunch
of loco for its first grazing. The greatest
trouble is from cattle on the bottom lands,
and seems to arise from the cattle losing
ali appetite for other food, though some
advance the idea that an insect inhabits
the plant, which forms worms in the
animal, causing death.
