Of producing silver was forty cents sn

| live in a mining county, as to its
production of silver being the third
county in the state. The records show
something over 1880 mining locations.
On each one of these locations, there
has been expended in labor and devel-
opment, from one hundred dollars up
to more than three mi lion dollars.
Out of the whole number above meu-
toned. there are not more than thirty
mines that Will pay profit with silver
at less than one dollar An ounce. per
haps one Or two of them would pay
something more than expenses with sill
yer at fifty cents an ounce, but these
are the prizes ia the lottery. Taking
into consideration the legitimate cost of
mining and prospecting, every ounce of
silver loduced in this county has cost
its full coinage value. The present en-
imical policy of our government to-
wards silver has succeeded in closing
down every producing mine in the coun-
ty, and if continued, may succeed in
permanently Gripping the industry, but
if it does. you will 90 down with us, to

As the writer goes to press he is taken
to task about the article written on the
Worlds Pertinent of Religions by
well known member of the Methodist
church whom he acknowledges to be q
straight forward and honest man, re-
CARELESS of his religion and who has al
ways been a kind friend to the writer;
but in our brief defense must say we
never agreed fully on the orthodox
question. The article he claims to have
contained not "bit of common sense"
and was Indecent" We make use of
no indecent languagein articles written
and despise anything indecent in form
of literature-or language pertaining to
it. Not having read it while young or
having been accustomed to books of
that nature, is why he despises and de-
fies anything of the kind. We don't
object to a little nonsensical slang. but
book(O that contains worse language
than the writer can compose to abuse it
with, is why he cannot swallow it all. "
A book that encourages polygamy,
| slavery, murder and war; and which is
the cause of the prospects of another
war IN the near future, is not fit to lie
on the center table, is a book far more
indecent than anything contained in
that article on Worlds Fair Congress.
In regard TO christian Civilization"
spoken of by our friend, would say. we
we are living in the land of snow drifts,
where we have family firesides; where
evenings are spent reading books and
magazines. Thus, we can quote:
Education, civilization, and intelIec-
tual advancement are flowers that
bloom in snow drifts" where in the old
and sunny lands they are heathenish
and taken up with bull-bghting. There
fore, we contend that we don't owe that,
book, for our civilization. The good
that's in that book is good out of it, and
in cleaner place. We have no further
time. only to say the Holy Bible will
show for itself The writer will bias

The building formerly occupied by
George Hickok and used by him for
saloon, is being remodeled and will soon
be occupied by Hickok & Jacco for a
drug store.
Mrs. Allie Foster and children, of
Lawrence, Kansas, are visiting her aunt
Mrs. Geo. Greer, and other relatives.
Mrs, a. B. Glasier returned to her
home in Cresco, Iowa, last Friday, after
three weeks visit with relatives here.
Mrs. Mary Hoyt, of N. II. and Mrs.
Lizzie Mullikin, of BoscObel are visiting
their sister Mrs. Ezra Atwood. This is
the first meeting of the three sisters for
about forty years.
Rev. Jackman's father and sister,
from Canada, are paying him visit.
They visited the Worlds Fair before
coming here.
The past week has been one of the
hottest ever remembered by the coolest
inhabitant, yet the farmers have inn
proved it IN haying and harvesting.
Never did the crops give promise for a
greater yield than those of the present
year, Oats are mostly harvested, the
immense corn fields are in an advanced
condition, wheat is of a superior quality
and hay is plenty and extra fine.
Threshing has already begun, as many
of the farmers do not stack their grain.
Judson Abrahams and wife, of Mt.
Hope, were in town last Tuesday tran
sacting business and calling on friends.
Mr. Roberts and daughter. of Dodge
vile, father and sister of Mrs. Nuzum,
are spending few days at the new M.
E. parsonage.
Miss Ada Kinney returned home last
week, having just completed a success
full term of schoo! in the Hurricane
district.
Rev. e. ID. Stevens, of Cassvile, was
in town last week, bidding his many
friends good by, as he expects to soon
leave for California to remain perma
nently. Mr.. Stevens has lived in this
vicinity for great many years, and
has hosts of friends who mourn his de-
parture. They hope his life may, be
happy in the Golden State.
Bloomington has on hand a $4,000
law suit. One night last spring Mrs.
Eliza Naylor attended an entertainment
given by an Indian Medicine Company
in our city hall. She was in company
with the family of Chas. Chapman, the
oldest son, Martin driving the team.
The night was intensely dark. and the
horses started homeward at good stiff
gait. After going down the grade by
the mill the horses turned out of the
road before getting to the bridge that
spans the ravine at that place. One
horse went off the embankment and
pulled the other horse after it. There
was fence consisting of two boards
and two wires as protection and the
horses went through this. Mrs. Chap
man and the boys jumped out of the
buggy, but Mrs. Naylor fell with it and
injured her shoulder for which she
wants two thousand dollars damages.
Mrs. Chapman broke two fingers but
did not complain as she felt thankful to
get off that easily. As the horses turned
out of the road and broke down what
seemed ample protection for such a
place, the town board do not feel res
ponsibl for damages, and will only pay
them if compelled to by law.
Mr.. NARROW of Hurricane, accom-
panied by his little son, spent Sunday
with his son DIR. Geo. {. NARROW, our

We never pick up paper during the
warm season that in it some ill-tem-
pered fellow doesn't berate the good
natured fellows that make this remark,
but | rather like to hear it. The
expression was coined by Satan when
Cam was handed over to him and put
in his brand new furnace, cell No l.
But Satan was the last mean chap that
used this expression. Who ever heard
it used in any but a jolly, good
bumored, joking sort of way, oy a
Jolly. good humored, joking sort of a
person, who was so utterly witted that
he couldn't say anything fresh and so
showed his good will and appreciation
of old age by painting out 'ls this hot

the heat has no terrors for us. We go
up or down the river little way and
then go in the river and keep delight
fully cool and happy watching the
mud turtles summing themselves on the
hot sand, the water snakes on shore
seem to enjoy our company, the min

we are happy too. Sometimes we

hammocks. dance high and 90 in bath

good time.
But l digress. The hot weather
has nearly ruined the crops intended
for the pickle factory, and unless we
have rain very soon the corn crop
will be injured.
The new building to be occupied by
the Grimm Brothers is being pushed
TO completion as rapidly as possible.
They were tarring the roof this week
and the sun made it so hot that the
tar all soaked in as fast as put on
and the building shrunk to nearly
half its original size.
Last Friday night the boys gave a
good. old fashioned dance at concert
hall but it was SO hot that night that
by morning the crowd melted away,
and by daylight not one was left to
say Is this hot enough, etc?''
The river is getting quite low and
soon the small boy accompanied by
the large boy will take the old boy to

in consequence shrunk until il is but
half as big as it was, but as his horses
have been shrinking right along too. I
suppose everything is all right with al.
But the saddest thing tie hot weather
has done for us is to shrink, warp and
melt away the democratic promises of
good times, until it looks as if we would
all have to turn in and vote with the
Republicans hereafter in order TO keen
out of the poor house. When the

breathing movements as preventive
OF consumption. He explains that the

breathing so that every part of the

repeat the qualification | expressed
before as to the convenience, the
economy, and the real artistic beauty
the National Lead Company's Pure
White Lead Uniting Colors have proved
to me in using them. 1t would seem
as if the old way of trying to produce
the desired shade of color by mixing
many colors together with much labor
and guess-work must be abandoned in
favor OF your economical, sure and easy
method. My painters wish to intro
duce their use in an adjoining town,
and want couple of your books as

In the absence of commercial packers
recipes we give several formulas that
have been made public by The Country
Gentleman. As there is more or less
variation in the proportion of tho ingre-
dents, the taste of tho user must decide
which is best for him:
One ounce salt to every pound of
meat. an ounce saltpeter to 20 pounds
meat, D pounds sugar to 100 pounds
meat, water TO cover.
For 100 pounds meat, 0 pounds salt, B
ounces snltpeter, pounds molasses sug-
ar, an ounce bioarbonate soda, gallons
water. Leave in pickle six weeks and
smoke to taste, using fragrant woods.
For 100 pounds meat, 8 pounds salt, 4
ounces saltpeter, 3 pounds brown sugar.
Dry Curing-Niix a pint fine salt with
pint coffee sugar and rub every part of
hams for three days. AS moisture oozes
from meat, lay in pans and dip over
meat as You rub on the salt and sugar
In three or four weeks smoke, rub little
black pepper on surface, put in cloth
bags and whitewash.
Hampshire Bacon--Tn shallow, wide
tub put brine strong enough to float an
egg. To each peck Of salt add ounces
refined saltpeter and toe pounds brown
sugar Or good molasses. After being
