THIS WINTERS WEATHER.

One OF the Oldest Inhabitants of This Sec
ton Expresses Himself on the Situa-
ton.
| Capt. w. L Clark Of Buffalo. opposite
| Andalusia. was a Davenport visitor yes
terday. A Democrat scribe was able by
use of few leading questions. as they
would be termed in law, to put the caps
tain in reminiscent vein, and of course
the first suhjsct of conversation was the
weather.
~ have seen colder weather heresbouts
than we have had this winter. but never
saw q longer season of real cold weather.
remember that back in 1913 the Rock
| Island bottom lands were covered with
three feet Of snow, and that the cold
weather that came right after it put such
. heavy crust upon 1t that it would bear
a mans weigh. We could walk right
| over the brush fences that the Indians
had built to keep their ponies away from
theirs crops, and the corn shocks and
grain that the rabbits. q lsil and wild tur-
keys depended upon fer fool were bur
ed so deep that tn y died OF the score,
aud were almost entirely killed out of
this section. Of course the few that
were left multiplied and they came back
in after years II vas hard winter for
deer, too. They were able TO keep on
top OF the snow crust by walking slowly
| and carefully, but get man and dog
aud their little feet would go throug h
the crust and they would fall an easy
prey to the hunter. They couldn't m Ike
any progress at all.
Then in AZ 8 we had mighty cold
winter" said the captain. There was
two fee. of ice on the river when the
January thaw came. took all the snow of
caused rise in the river that weakened
the ice and made travel across that way
quite dangerous. After while it settled
down again and got cold and things
frightened up, but it wasn't cold for as
many successive days at any time as il
has been this winter"
There is no one heresbouts that car
claim the right to speak with better
authority than Capt. Clark His mem.
DRY goes back beyond the tins that hi.
father settled on the present homestead
in Buffalo. and made the lrst claim
erected the fist cabin, broke the frs
ground, planted the first corn and raised
the first crop that ever rewarded the eff.
forts OF white settler in Scott county
That was ia So Before that time, TO
six years, Capt. Clark as lad had beer
the playmate of the Indian Children OF
the Rock Island low lands. The chic fl
Black Hawk and Keokuk had taken hin
on their knees when they visited hi
fathers cabin. and one of Keokuk's chill
dren. Moses Keokuk, now chief OF tn,
Sscs and Foxes on their reservation il
the Indian territory, was playmate ant
companion of his.
Ia those first pioneer days Col.
George Davenport had his trading hous,
on the Island Of Rock Island, and NAL
named Hamburger was in charge OF tn,
commisssry department at FIT. Arm
strong, but the nearest general store wa
at Quincy. The captain has grown up
good man and good democrat, and con
sequently his word is as good as hi
bond.

TO CONTROL PRAIRIE FIRES.
Pierre Wibaux of MingusvilIe, says he
Has Found Out How To Do 1t.
Ed. YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL:

A good many years in the cattle bust
ness have taught me that the numerous
fires that burn up our ranges during a
few months OF the year. are the greatest
drawback to the cattle industry. You
aye aware that il one OF our ranges
burn. we have either to let our cattle
starve or crowd u neighbors, and the
way IN which u ranges are now stock
ed. either means starvation for the cattle
and ruin for the owners. 1t occurs to
me that we ought to do everything in
our power to protect ourselves. and all
join In the good work. / have for a
number OF years tried to find some de-
vice for putting out prairie fires when
once started. and after a good deal of
trouble and expense l have succeeded in
building a fire drag made Of chains. that
l guarantee to give satisfaction. 1t is
the best thing that has been brought
out for this purpose; it is handy to pack;
it is not heavy to drag, and it will nut
out fire as fast as two horses can travel.
Thinking it will be Of mutual benefit to
all cattlemen, / propose to have a num-
Der OF these drags built this winter. and
will deliver them at cost-that is. $500
each-at the depot in Mingusyille. The
old way of fighting prairie Tres by
slaugnterlng cattle, besides being unsat-
isfactory is very expensive These drags
will pay for themselves at the first fire
and can be carried in bed wagons on the
roundup and scattered all over the
range. where they car be reached in a
short time. Parties wishing to try them
can be supplied by Cannon a Organ.
M~ingusville Mont, and a better invest
ment they could not make.
Let me also suggest. that unless we
want The wolves to drive us out of this |
country. every outfit should buy strych-
IN wholesale quantities and furnish
1t free TO every settler. hunter and other
experienced person wishing to use it
during h coming winter. Wolves will
travel and IN the work of destroying them.
well as in fighting prairie fires. com
oined efforts are necessary to obtain the
desired result.

The reader of this paper will be pleas.
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has beer
able to cure in all its stages. and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is tie
is the only positive cure known to the
medical profession. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease. requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls CatarrhCure
is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease. and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the consti
tuition and assisting nature in it's work.

SCHOOL

Tom Butler has been quite sick and
unable to attend school for the past two

Miss Odds asked one of her pupils why
n one had ever been able to reach the
magnetic north pole. The answer was
Because the magnetism would draw
out the nails of the ship Some one
asked tnon why they didn't walk. but
the dauntless pupil whispered. Why
the magnetism would draw out the nails
of their toes"
Fay Kruger is quite i'll and is confined
to her bed.
The weather has been threatening and
the sage prophets have wagged their
heads and murmured, Snow" But no
snow has appeared, yet the atmosphere
in the vicinity Of the school house is
quite thick, owing to the white para.
chutes which fill the air and deck the
trees.
Alfred Clark. who has had charge of
the town herd, has entered school again.
Gray Beck has left school, and intends

Here is a new version OF a Mother
Goose" rhyme known as The Old Wo-
man Who Lived ia a Shoe"
Long ago in the pristine days of retro
spection there existed an antediluvian
model of the woman. whose entity was
dissolved in a notification conformably
rendered useful as a documentary re-
ceptacle for those lower appendages
usually inoculated to the anatomy of
our physical existence, was the victim
of a most dubious d%esideration as to
what she would perpetrate with the
multitudinous quantity Of posterity
which rendered her ~vivication intoler-
able. Finding it essential to the salts
of their digestive organs that
they should masticate some substance Of
qualities, she compounded a
salmagundi Of equivalent parts of intilter.
atm. and the succulent liquor off the
boiled bones Of an extinct bovine quad
ruped. This resulting in an appetizing
broth. But she c~ondescended not to
cause it to become insoluable by an add
of any wheaton mixture. After
adequately supplying an incompetent
to the gnawing gizzard Of
her offspring. the tender matron placed
each anticipating youngster across her
variegated article Of apparel. and taking
covering off her foundation she re-
peatedly allowed her dimmuative images
to become aware Of its close proximity.
She then sent them to recuperate their
mental faculties in sleep. that great
balm offered as the great gift to sufferers.
