Osborne News: Most of the wheat
in Osborne county is IN thrifty condi-
ton and is safe to stand more dry
weather. There are some fields and
few localities where it has been 60 dry
that the wheat has not yet sprouted-
and probably never will, because the
land will be used for corn. Fortunately
this condition prevails over very linn
tied territory.
Crop reports received by Superin-
tendent Rathburn, of the Missouri Pa
cifc. from fifty points in northern Kan
sas and southern Nebraska show that
the drouth is affecting growing crops
everywhere. In the vicinity of Weep
ing Water, Neb., hundreds of acres
of wheat have been plowed up. The
oats crop generally looks we'll. The
wind is still blowing in western
Kansas.
A noticeable feature at the Kansas
City, Kan, stock yards Is the large
number of Texas and Indian cattle IN
the pens. There were $50 Texas and
993 Indians Not only the largest sup
ply ever had this early in the season.
but the bulk of them good, firm-feshed
cattle, either corn-fed or cottonseed-fed
steers. A new era IS rapidly dawning
in the Texas cattle trade. More fed
cattle may be expected from Texas and
the Indian nation. as the years roll by
and fewer thin, trashy grass stuff our,
ing the summer months.
A. T. Riley, special agent of the
Santa Fe land department, came il
from an extended trip through south
west Kansas; having travelled severa
hundred miles by carriage, Mr.. Rile!
was able to make careful examination
of the wheat, and stated to reporter
that in all but two or three small areas
the wheat, while very backward, is alive
and will make good crop with favor

There is great need Of rain, but thu

What Is Money!

Weighed against that health it so often fails tc
buy? DroSs indeed. While we can none of Us
claim q total exemption from that greatest Of
all ills to which flesh is heir-il health, we may
do much to lessen the chances Of mourning it
and this not alone by the adoption OF sucf
sanitary measures as are to be found in daily
exercise regular hours, prudence in eating anC
drinking, and a wholesome diet but also by re
sorting to judicious preventive medication
when the system is threatened by unhealthfu
influences For instance, residents or so
iourners in malarous localities should use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as defense
against chills and fever, and persons who in
cur much out-of-door exposure should emplo!
it as safeguard against rheumatism. Trav
elers IN the tropics find it invaluable also as :
means Of arresting liver complaint and con
stipation, and counteracting the debllitatlnt
influence of q tnrrid climate.

passed by the late legislature "to regu-
late the sale of real estate and to pro-
vide for the redemption thereof" The
court ruled that the act was not subject
to the constitutional objection that it
contained more than one subject in its
title He also announced that in the
case of pre-existing contracts he would
continue to have judgments and DEGREES
of real estate contain clause for the
sale of the same after the expiration of
six months, not of eighteen months, as
the new law provides. The judge stated
that he had given this matter close
study in the interest Of both debtors
and creditors, and that while he con-
coded that many other states had held
the contrary, he believed that such de-
cisions were contrary to the federal con-
stitution and would be knocked out by
the supreme federal court.

SHOULD RING OFF EARLY.

The festive kids who play cards for
money, and who are becoming gamblers,
should have a care. They will find that
their folly will cost them position and
cost them happiness. No man will con
fess to day that gambling ever made him
happy, and it has made but precious few
rich. And if it has it has made them out
casts as well, so it does not pay. We
hope the boys in Durham who have set
out in this line will see the folly of their
way and ring off at once.
