LOCAL.

Mrs. n. A. Delp, Mrs. III. Peed and
Mrs. J. +. Arnold, are the ladies who
conceived the idea of the "outsiders''
giving a benefit to McCook Post and
Corps, and they are certainly entitled
to great credit, not only for the gener-
GUS thought, but for the splendid sue
cess with which it was carried out,
and to which all who were at the
Opera House last Thursday night can
testify. 1t was a big undertaking to
feed three or four hundred people free,
but it was done, and done handsome
aly, the last conner getting up from the
table as well satisfied as the first.
And the stage program, judging from
the applause received, was one of the
most popular that has been presented
here for a long time, almost every
number receiving hearty encore.
The audience was especially delight
ed with the little folks Misses Lena
Delp and Stella Rotermund, and Mas
ter Joe Lowe, who certainly did re-
markably well. Owing to the care
lessness or good humor of the door
keepers, considerable portion of the
audience was admitted without any
charge, on which account the net pro-
ceeds were considerably diminished.
AS it wa, about SIG. was realized
and this amount will be added to
that already raised by the w. II. C..
for the purchase of flag for the Post.
The cake for the LATEST man was vot-
ed to Constantine Great Null and that
to thu most popular young lady to Miss
Clara WEIGH.
Mr.. j. p. BaiZe, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that State during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
Review. Mr. Baize had occasion to
drive severa miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that he
was unable to get warm, and inside
of an hour after his return he was
threatened with severe case ofpneu-
monia of lung fever. Mr.. BaiZe sent
to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, of which he had often heard and
took a number of large doses. He
says the effect was wonderful and in
a short time he was breathing quite
easily. He kept on taking the medi-
cine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Baize re-
CARDS his cure as simply wonderful.

Habeas Corpus proceedings were
brought before Judge StilIwell at
Erie last Friday, asking for the Ie-
lease of VIM Shellman, in Jail charged
with selling whiskey, on the ground
that the information upon which he
was arrested was not sworn to by
any one having personal knowledge
of the alleged facts. After hearing
evidence and arguments the Judge
granted the writ or the ground spec
flied. The result of this will be, we
presume, that the proceedings under
which 10 Humboldt dive keepers were
recently arrested will be all dismissed
as they all stand on the same ground :;
and of course if the information was
not sufficient TO keep a man in Jail it
is not sufficient to force him to trial.
1t occurs to us that this episode re-
veals weakness in the prohibitory
law. If a boot-legger or dive keeper
can only be arrested on information of
one who has personal knowledge of
his crime. it seems as if it must be a
difficult matter indeed to enforce the
law.
Union: On coal creek fair article
of coal is still being mined on the
farms of Messrs. Lockart, Baland. and
others. On Mrs. Moore's place we
learn that the vein is ii inches thick,
but water interferes with it being
worked successfully. Several thous-
and bushelsof this coal have been sold
to our citizens and it gives general
satisfaction to those who use it. From
the Coal creek region We hear of ru-
mors of much thicker vein of coal
being discovered than any that has
yet been worked. We hope it will
turn out TO be true.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Bliss are enter
tanning their niece. Miss Annie
Meakin of ElDorado this week. Miss
Meakin is a very charming and high
ly accomplished young lady, and one
of ElDoradoes fairest daughters. She
goes from here to Topeka to finish up
a course in music and painting. We
hope her visit here may be pleasant
one.
It's all the same, a slight cold, con-
gested lungs or severe cough. One
Minute Cough Cure banishes them.
