Henry Ogden, nephew of T. j. Lightly

fatal gun-shot wound in his left side, is
new and has been fer the past three
months apparently as well as ever. The
entire charge from a loaded shotgun en-
tered his body under the lower rib, and
his physicians and relatives had no hopes
of his recovery. That he has recovered
is almost a miracle. He is 20 years old
and was very healthy and strong at the
time of the accident. Then he had an
abundance of pluck, which served hun to
q good purpose through his trying ordeal.

"A meeting of the Farmers Alliance
| is called for next Saturday, April Sd, at
o'clock p. M, in Court House; and we
want all members to be present, as this
may be the last meeting this spring, and
| as there are many subjects to talk over
and dispose of. The farmers Of this state,
and of the northwest, are doing great
| deal, through the Alliance movement,
such as securing lower rates of transpor-
taticn on the different lines of railroads,
and bringing about more just and prac'
teal manner of doing business with the
Elevator and Millers' Associations, and
making grievances known to the State
the Commission has aided the farmers in
| their efforts. 1t IS fact, that we reside
in one of the most oppressed parts of our
state as far as railroad transportation is
concerned, and this fact must be apparent
| to our Commissioners, but as yet they
have made no visible move to remedy
this wrong. Farmers. our only hope for
protection is in self-defence. This end
can be best obtained by organization; and
| and this we get, practically, through the
Alliance movement. So every one in
sympathy with US IS requested to attend
our meetings. ]. j. FURLoNG.
Secretary.
This IS the season OF the year during
which nearly everybody contracts cold.
Many of these colds render life burden
until the summer weather takes the place
of the changeable spring atmosphere.
With proper care the contraction of colds
! may be obviated as much in March or
April as in July or August. A few sim
pie rules might with profit and pleasure
be formulated and observed. Like this:
Put away the wooden stockings. lay awaw
the arctic snug, place in bureau winter
garments-and you'll catch measly cold.
Never open doors or windows, let the
blaze from stove 20 cut, never air the
| heavy bedding-and you'll catch measly
cold. Leave the fur cap on the hat rack,
hang in closet great coat warm, put on
spring style nice to look at-and you'll
catch a measlv cold. Sit in doors with
feet well dampened, eat and drink at
midnight hour, leave warm room all un-
protected-and you'll catch measly cold.
Wear warm clothing as IN winter, regu-
late your meat and drink, all the rooms
give ventllation-no measlY cold will then
catch you. Change the shoes when wet
and stockings, protect the lungs from
damp, raw air, keep the limbs encased in
cOmfort-no measly cold will then catch
you. Simple rules they are and easy,
none so poor that can't observe, post
them up and don't forget them-no meas
ly cold will then catch you.

says: Miss Lulu Stevens, as Yum Yum,
was pretty, graceful, perfectly at home on
the stage, and sang delightfully."-. Katis-
ka-Miss Fanny McIntyre-has difficult
part, both unsteady and dramatically,
and performed it to the entire satisfaction
of the audience. The parts of Nanki-
Poo, by Richard Burton, Poo-Bah. by
Geo. Andrews, Pitt Sing, by Miss Jessie
HAVANA, Peep Boo. by Miss Dolly Dear

serve great commentator. The Iikado,
G. A. Gilbert, looked and appeared YER
liable Japanese emperor and sang we'll.
Although there were repeated recalls, the
most enthusiasm was created by Mr.. Ed.
Andrews in his most excellent personatlon
of Ko-ko, part which gives opportunity
for the exhibition of talent for comedy
which Mr.. Andrews possesses in more

agine that the character could have been
better represented. The whole perform
ance was extremely enjoyable, and the
prominent characters have been pronoun-
ced by those who have seen the opera be-
fore, to be fully equal to the same parts
in much larger and more pretentious
troupes."
