Look Out For Him

BLOOMINGTON, Neb., Sept IA
number of farmers have been taken in
by sleek swindler, who operated in
this county about u year ago. Last
summer man named w. r. Magce,
claiming to hail from Prairie City, H..
came here with a patent Vile and picket
fence machine He was a smooth talker,
and succeeded in getting a recommend
and indorseh1ent from County Attorney
Fletcher, of Franklin, which he used
with telling effect in overcoming the
doubts which existed in the minds of
the more cautious Of his victims as to
his reliability and honest dealings. He
induced Sheriff Eli Brown to take the
manufacture of the fence. He got the
names OF farmers whose individual notes
would be good and started out.
He was so successful that he
left the county witty over Sa;oGo and
operated in Kansas just south of here to
the extent of about $4,000 Magce, by
expiatng on the many good qualities of
his fence. and the almost absolute GER
tainty of an universal demand and sale
for the same, succeeding in getting his
man to sign an agreement to act as his
agent in the sale of the fence in their
respective townships, the fenco to be
manufactured and furnished by Mr..
Brown at wholesale rates. The newly
appointed agent signs plain negotiable
note for Sl2o to secure Mr.. Magee fol
two and one-miles of fence that he is &c
endcavor to sell in one year. The
agreement further states, ''and il
said two and one-hal miles o1
fence are not sold at tho expira-
ton of one year, and said Sl20 MOI
obtained by the extended date of one

representatives. are unconditionallJ
empowered to cancel said obligation'o
said agent and appoint another agent il
has stead, returning to said agent The
| original sum of $l20." Soon after being
appointed the agent finds that the fence
| is of no practical value and will not sell
/ But he feels secure in thinking his not,

| year he has made no sales. The yea
is now up and he receives u MOTTO
/ Though a bank that his note has passei
/ into innocent purchasers hands and i
held by them for collccte.. He fnrthe
finds that it is a plain, negotiable note
and has been sold by Magee without re
course. and he is obliged to pay it.

Hot Weather in Russia

The heat in southern Russia this sea-
son has been the most intense ever
known there. Deaths from sunstroke
occur almost daily, even among the ma
tive laborers. For ten days, according
to a London Times correspondent, the
thermometer at Odessa did not register
less than 144 degrees at noon, and one
day it was $50 degrees in the shade. Out
of the reach OF artificial irrigation, all
vegetation is parched and withered.
The nights are SO sultry that sleep is
almost impossible. In twenty days nc
less than thirty-eight cases of hydro
phobia occurred atlong dogs.

AN ALLEGED s1oux FALLS SCHEME

YANKToN, Sept. IA very unique
plan was uncovered here today, which
is expected to secure the vote of Yank-
ton for Sioux Falls OF. the question of
temporary capital. 1t is alleged that
Sioux Falls has about 5000 to devote
to election purposes in Yankton county
Certain citizens of Yankton will receive
between this and Tuesday next cash
tenders and an equal amount in Sioux
Falls capital stock for their services. 1t
is probable that none of these gentle

THE CAPITAL FlcHT.
Mitchell WORDING Hard.

MITCHELL, s. D., Sept. 14.-Tbe
voters of Dakota are painfully aware
that there is an election approaching
Whereat there's to be a capital located
They are no doubt daily importuned to
vote for one or more places, and no doubt
many Of them have promised to support
the whole seven cities now in the field.
All these places are rustiing. A view
OF the Mitchell capital headquarters
gives one some idea of the others. The
Mitchell rustlers occupy u suite
OF rooms III brick block in
tho heart of the city, During work.
ing hours the rooms present q busy
scene. At a long table are seated a
squad OF men busily engaged in mailing
maps, pamphlets and pretty souvenirs
to all points in South Dakota. In the
rear room are several ladies making
typewriters sing the praises of this city
in the shape of propositions and pleas
to individuals who are thought to be
favorable.
The literature put out is in the shape
of valuable statistics and comparisons.
Aside from the literature mailed and
tackled up Mitchell has today over 100

! the number will be out before the close
Of September. Other cities are doing
the same, and Mitchell's hustle is fair
sample of the six others. Beyond doubt
the greatest campaign is now in pro-
| gress in South Dakota the state will ever
| witness.
a WORD FROM PIERRE,
PIERRE. S. D., Sept. 14.--The state
nent that Redfeld has Withdrawn from
| the capital race md has thrown her in
fluence toward Huron is false being en-
| tireiy without foundation. Redheld' g
campaign committee, with a number Of
| her prominent citizens, arrived in Pierre
last night and stated that Redfeld had
withdrawn, and that her vote would go
! to Pierre. The Redfeld people are here
to buy property, 'shith they are doing
rapidly. They also stated that the citi-
zcns of Redtield were almost a unit in
favor of Pierre, and that the influence
which they offer had been unanimously
extended, and that Redtield would here
after work for Pierre.
RAILROADS INTERESTED IN THE FIGHT.
MITcHEit, Sept. l3.-The indica-
tions are now that the SSmth Dakota
capital fight will before election day
narrow down to a contest between the
interests of the Northwestern railroad
system and those of the Milwaukee sys-
TEN. Mitchell is the favored city OF the
latter company, and is the only town on
their line which has seriously entered
the race. The Black Hills decidedly
favor Milwaukee town, and any move
| which solidifies the Northwestern road S
interests will selidify and centralize the
! Milwaukee's interest.

BANANA CULTURE.
How the Delicious Fruit Is fropagatod
In the West Indies.

The edible banana, it is said, Is
known to seed only in one small spot
on Garth, the Andaman Islands. How
over this may be, it is universally
grown from suckers. Its cultivation III
tho West Indies has vastly increased
during the past fifteen years, owing to
the demands of the United States for its
cheap, wholesome and luscious fruit.
About four hundred or five hundred
trees arc planted to tho acre, and the
plantations are called "bannna-walks. -
In former days any available spot was
chosen, usually an abandondcd cane
field, where the ground was most easily
prepared for the new crop. But oNpc-
rience and competition have brought
about more careful methods of plant
ing, and the best place for a banana
walk is now considered "A valley or hill
side with a western prospect. The tree
fruits the first year, and the expense OF
cultivation is so small that u bunch OF
bananas, delivered at the soa-coast,
need have cost its owner no more than
four or FIVE cents, while it may lie sold
n the winter months for from twelve
to eighteen cents, and in the spring
months for four or five times Us much.
There are risks attending banana cult.

VALUE OF SINGING


ohc oil the Most Reliable n Safest Aids
to Health.
The time will soon come when sing
ing will be regarded as one of tho
great helps to physicians in lung
diseases, more especially in their in
cipient state. Almost every branch of
gymnastics are employed in one way
or another by the doctors, but tho
simple and natural function of singing
has not yet received its full need of
attention. In Italy some years ago
statistics were taken which proved
that the vocal artists were especially
long-lived and healthy, under normal
circumstances, while of the brass
instrumentalists it was discovered
that consumption never claimed q
victim among them. Those who have
u tendency for consumption should
take easy vocal exercises, no matter
how thin and weak their voices may
seem to be. They will find a result
at times far surprising any relief af-
fordcd by medicine. Vocal practice,
in moderation, is the best system of
gymnastics that can be imagined,
many muscles being brought into play
that would scarcely be suspected of
action in connection with so simple a
matter rs tone production. Therefore,
apart from all considerations, merely
as a matter OF health, one can earnestly
say to the healthy, Sing! that you
may remain so;" and to the weakly,
"Sing! that you may become strong"

Babies must hunger and moan and die.
Only a baby, with face tear stained,
Wondering doubtless what it has gained
In coming to earth with its baby grar
To find poor babies are here out OF place.
Only a baby, an innocent thing,
With q touch as soft as an angels wing,
With rosebud mouth and o face as far
AS the sweetest dream Of u 4 painter rare.

Attoat on this turbulent river Of life,
With nerves to CULVER with pain and feel

Ofliie that blooms by the crystal sea;
That fell to earth from an angels hand,
A souvenir OF the better land.
Only a baby, a child of the poor,
Whose hearts eniwine it close, to be sure,
But who have more of kisses than bread,
And mingle their tears DER its little head.
Only a baby, fast fading away
In the morning hour of its mortal day.
With a white, wan face and small hand
pressed
In meekest submission across its breast.
Only q baby with eyelids closed
In that dreamleSs sleep no hunger knows,
With its waxen hands on its pulsclesS breast
The babe of the poor from want finds rest.

And sob her darling's name in her sleep,
And sadly to say in her want and woe:

A tale of its hunger and helplessness;
But what OF the babies who still endure?

A Decidedly Ambiguous Term.

Everybody is a term that often
leans a very small portion OF the
community. 1t is a convenient term
for indicating that portion of the COM
munity which is in the mind of the
speaker as he uses it. When he says
that every body does this or that, he
means that this or that is the rule in
his own little circle or set. A Philadol-
phia editor recently called attention to
the fact that while those persons who
are away from the city in midsummer
are accustomed to say that "cvcry body
is away just now" it is still a patent
fact that at least eleven hundred thou.
sand persons out of twelve hundred
thousand are still in the city, at their
business. day by day. There are very
few things done by every body, whether
those things be good or bad. And TIL
poorest excuse in the world for doing
any thing-good or bad-is tho claim
that every body does its. S. Times.
