10 to be voted on at that time, looms
up in eyer increasing proportions and
promises 10 be practically the only is-
cue. Shall cattle be prohibited at all
seasons from running at large within
the city limits, or shall they be giver
the freedom Of the city from April to
November? That Is he question and
it deserves candid consideration. There
ran be no question we think, that from
the standpoint of general welfare, the
good Of the town as . town, the FRO.
hibitionlsts have the best OF the argu.
ment. To be able to say to the farm
ers Of the county that they could come
to lola without fear of having their
goods damaged or destroyed by the
town COW, would be an advertise ment
that would attract q large amount of
trade. A prohibition ordinance would
save the city large amount of money
which Is now expended every year in
repairing side walks broken by cattle.
Indeed we have heard it claimed
that 1t would cost less to hire all the
cows herded than it now costs to re-
pair the side walks. This would cer-
tainly Re true IL the cost of damage
done to trees and shrubbery were add
ed to the cost Of damaged walks. No
one dares plant shrub anywhere near
yard fence, while unsightly and ex.
pensiye barlicades must be built when
an attempt Is made to start q tree out
side the yard. These are the main
arguments on the prohibition side Of
the question. On the ether side il the
plea that some poor people who now
keep COW would not be able to keep
one If compelled to hire her herded, or
to keep her up and feed her all sum-
mer. There can be no doubt that
prohibitory ordinance would work
hardship in certain individual instauc-
es. That is very spt to be the case
with all general laws. The question
the voters have to decide is whether
the individual interest or the public
good is to be most regarded 1t is un-
fortunate that they should conflict,
but since they do every eleclor will
have to decide for himself which way
his duty lies.

Kim,bail, South Dakota, Graphic:
1t is quite impossible for us to speak
of the merits Of the various
articles of merchandise advertised. But
there are exceptions occasionally and
exception il the celebrated
cough remedy. This
now universally known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four
Or five years, but not until recently had
We any personal knowledge of its won
lerful efficacy, which has come about
the prevailing influenza and
the stubborn cough that has su often |
attended it. In the writer's family |
this medicine has on several occasions !
this winter cured cough that baffled |
any and all other remedies; and the
number of families in Kimball and vi |
Unity in which this remedy has been |
used with like effects attests to its value |
as a specific for coughs and colds of ev-
,ry nature. For sale by all druggists.

There is pretended "Ksnsas Fool"

hindsight for the Newton Repub-

he end of letter deploring his foolish
Iess in having borrowed money to en-
arge his farm and then to buy city
ots, be thus points q moral: Was
T the fault of the loan agent that I
vas a born fool? I loved the loan
gent the day he let me have the
money; is it fair to hate him now that
le wants it back? If I am a fool to
un in debt, shall ! now be knave
