tribute that comes of the bond voting
craze that came over US in our youth
as a county. We wouldn't do it now.

ization of the Republican Club at
Rock Creek could not be held. So
another meeting for that purpose will
be held at that place next Friday eve

Speaking of the results produced
upon character by environment, Char
les Dudley Warner queries: "What,
for instance do we know of the effect
ofclimate OH veracity?" We don't know
how it is in the East, but this climate
out here endangers the reputation of
the man who attempts anything in
the way of prophecy.

The July number of the ST. Nicho-
las Magazine, which never accepts
anything not first class, contains an
exceedingly good sketch called "Snow
Bound Among the Clouds" by Fred
Funston. 1t is an account of thrill
ing adventure in the Colorado Noun
tains from which the writer and a
companion barely escaped with their
lives. The story is told with the en-
ergy and vim which come from keen
appreciation of the facts.
In anticipation of the heavy wheat
crop, exporters are sending out circu-
lars Ill regard to the proper way of
handling it. The wheat, if properly
stacked aud allowed to go through the
natural curing process, is more mer-
charitable than when threshed and
shipped directly after cutting. If
threshed from the shock it will sell at
a heavy discount under old wheat as
it will not be in export condition.
The river rose higher i'm consequence
of the recent heavy and continuous
rains, last Saturday and Sunday than
it had been before this year. Last
Sunday it was even bank-full, and
filled all the creeks, sloughs and low
bottom land with back-water which
could not run off. Large crowds were
gathered on the bridges and coming
and going on the railroad to the river
all day. The approach to the bridge
over Elm creek south of town was en-
tirely shut off for a time.
