Homo Treatment.

Catarrhal De1fneso-HAy Eevef@A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane OF the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to b. q fact, and
the result of this discovery is that q simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from n to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon 4 Son, cor of John

Several bills for the division of the 18th
judicial district have been introduced in
the present legislature. One of these bills
is for the division of the present into two
shoestring districts. the first to be com
posed of Phillips. Norton, Decatur, Raw
Inns and Cheyenne counties. and the sec
Ond of Rocks, Graham, Sheridan,
Thomas and Sherman counties. This
would make each district about 40 miles
long and 80 miles wide Another bill pro-
vides for what is termed the compact
division, making a district of the four
eastern and out of the western counties
The ten members of the legislature from
this district are equally divided on these
two schemes and may be said to be dead
locked on the question. The shOestring
system of the division is an Objectionable
one, from the fact that it is an unnatural
one. Where ever it is proposed, since the
days of the formation of the shOestring
congressional districts in the south for
political chicanery. it is suggestive of
schemes and jobbery. The shoestring
district, seems to be supported prin-
cipally by the members of the counties
south of US, from preference as to can
didates for judgeshIp, and from the fear
that Oberlln, securing the judgeship of
the new district, that her bar =ill con-
troll the litigation of the district to the
prejudice of the bars of Hoxie, Colby and
GOOdland
In the event of the adoption of the
shOestriug division the eastern counties
of Norton and Rocks. are almost GER
tain to furnish the judges to the detri-
ment OF the wesrern counties in both
districts. The advocates of this scheme
certainly can not favor it on the ground
of convenience, nor on the grounds that
the five southern counties have the same
common interests that do the six western
counties. The counties now comprising |
our land district, and if formed into q |
judicial district under the next appoint |
ment, are quite likely to become sena |
torial district Again every county seat
in each Of these counties can be reached |
from every other county seat BY rail.
These six northwest counties have many |
interests in common and should continue

-Oberlin Opinion
All agree that the 18th judicial district
should be divided. but the manner of its
division is a fruitful subject of discussion.
In our judgment that division which
would form district of the counties Of
Rocks, Phillips, Graham and Norton is
the most desirable. chiefly on account of
its comprehension Courier

caution you to be on your guard for
swindlers. Our exchanges are full of
accounts of swindling lodges by men
who travel through the country getting
signatures to petitions which don't cost

some extraordinary low-priced farming
implement or book is made the means of
a swindle. The only safe rule Is not to
sign any paper presented by stranger.
Now that public attention is turning to
the sorghum plant as possible source of
our sugar supply, it seems appropriate to
call attention to the somewhat numerous
class of socalled non saccharine sor-
ghums 1--WE believe none are wholly want

One reason that advertising don't
pay" is that the advertiser or man who
runs the business he wants advertised
does not attend to his business, we mean
the business of advertising. Advertising
to be profitable must be made somewhat
attractive. The best way to advertise is
to buy space in a newspaper and fill it
with new matter every week or at least
frequently. Do something or say some
thing to call attention. Or make an ar
rangement with the editor to write up a
new ad for you as often as above Adyer-
tislng is business and must have atten-
ton.
They must be having a terrible time
over the county seat business up in Chey

extract from the Cheyenne County Dem

"A west side mob again took posses

outraged people of the city forced them
from the clerks Office, and the commits
sioners and attorneys were left to fight
the battle alone. They slept in the court
house Friday night, and Saturday haunt
ed the building. Saturday night they
were REINFORCED by armed gang. 1t Was
with the greatest difficulty the outraged
citizens of this place were kept from
shooting them down like dogs. 1t would
be benefit for the west side and for the
whole county if few fool leaders on the
west side were put out of the way

most suitable reason given are that the
past few weeks seasonable weather will
soon bring it out in fine shape. Never in

more favorable. To the present, the win

favorable, the thermometer at the coolest

Taking The Tax Or Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Representa-
tive Cowles, of North Carolina, created quite
hutter in the House to-day by Introducing
a bill providing for the repeal of the tobac-
co tax, and demanding that it be referred to
the committee on appropriations instead of
the ways and means committee, where it
properly belonged. Mr.. McMillin and 9TH
er members OF the latter committee ques-
toned the propriety of sending such o
measure to the appropriations committee.
Speaker Carlisle ruled that majority had
power to send bill to any standing COM
mittee. Whereupon Mr.. McAEillin ex-
pressed desire that the motion of the
gentleman from North Carolina should be
voted down. '.Now is chance for you
gentlemen who want on opportunity to vote
for the abolition of the tobacco tax" e1-
claimed Mr.. Cowles standing at his desk
and WAVING his hands aioft. The Virginia
and North Carolina delegations, assisted by
an almost solid Republican vote, together
with Messrs. Tilman of South Carolina, and
Compton of Maryland, carried the day, and
the bill goes to the appropriations commit
tee It's hardly probable that such a bill
will become law during the present session,
but its friends claim that it will pass the
House if an opportunity is given to vote
upon it.
