The city authorities have strictly

know Of no place where the weary
citizen has more right to escape the
sight of "Tutt's Pills" and rs. S. s."
than in the public city park.
Last spring we called the atten
tion of the farmers several time to the
desirability OF raising some barley,
and 4wesare pleased togsay that those
who did so are more than satisfied.
The yield is ample and brings in far
more to the acre than wheat. Every
thing that we claimed has come true
and the farmers who raised barley are
the ones who are now the most pros
porous in pocketbook as result of
this years crops.
1.-The condition of corn in this
county is by no means desperate, and
if soaking rain falls within a week
there will be good crop. Potatoes
are small, but the late planted fields
would yield fairly well were there sto
be a rain. The showers that have
fallen have not been of much benefit
except in localities.
Mr.. Bigsby, of Garden City, has
threshed his barley, and secured a
yield of 300 bushels from a twelve acre
field that was damaged by chinch
bugs. A neighbor had a yield of fifty
bushels to the acre from his barley
crop. Who says it does not pay to
raise barley?
%. MOnson has sold his tailoring
business to Henry Wiltgen, who will
conduct it in the future. Mr.. Wiltgen
has taken possession and will remove
to rooms in the Clifton House block.
All persons who are indebted to Mr..
MOnson are requested to call and set
tie up at once.
The street scraper has cut away
the weeds on the lower side of the
race track, and soaking rain' gwould
greatly improve the track. Now that
the city has taken interest I'M the
park, the tumble-down appearance Of
everything around the track has dis
appeared. @
Il Chief Yates returned from Winona
Wednesday, but without H. C.Rutter.
He was unable to find any trace of the
bicycle, and therefore concluded not
to arrest Mr.. Rutter until the bicycle
is found. There is some prospect that
the latter will be found. ;-&
The store south of the Clifton
House, just vacated by Joseph Ruerup,
will be occupied by Ole MOnson's tailor
shop andl the barber shop that was
next door to Mr.. Monson's old shop.
Facilities for additional light are be-
ing made in the rear.
The Little Bros. nave threshed
their crop, and secured asyield of
fifteen bushels an acre Of .wheat,
thirty of rye and thirty-five of barley.
Chinch bugs did some. damage on this
farm.
1t was reported Tuesday that
Nick Juliar, of the town of Decoria,
was threshing wheat that would go
from twenty-five to thirty bushels per
acre. A pretty good yield for dry
year.
The. court. house'ss lawn holds Oits
greenness remarkably.well, which is
due entirely to a good water supply
and excellent care by MI. Schumacher
who takes pride in maintaining its
fresh appearance. L

pleted a new 'elavatOr at Mountain

completed last evening and the con

end.
"A marriage license was granted

and Helena Friend, of Garden City
The marriage took place this after
noon.
The hot weather that we have
recently experienced was much more
severe than is ordinarily experienced
in the south.
