Mike Tuhl wears a smile that extends
so far back hat the wrinkles are break
ing of his hair, all because he's an uncle
now. Mr.. Schmit is Mikes brother-in-
law. Ii you don't believe it justask him.

4. NJ. Bailey, a well-known citizen OF
Eugene, Oregon, says his wife has for
years been troubled with chronic diarr-
hoea and used many remedies with little
relief until she tried Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
has cured her sound and well. Give it a
trial and you will be surprised at the
prompt relief it affords. % and so cent

The fire Monday night was n very
close call for the REPORTER office and
we tender our best bow to the fire boys
for their timely and efficient work. Tho
the department is hardly organized-not
yet having been recognized officially by
the village council OF had a second meet
ing-the benefit OF united effort under
the direction of a chief and his subordi-
mates was plainly demonstrated.

J. V. Neidenfeuhr is in Aberdeen this
week occupying the position OF assistant
bookkeeper for the state fair association.
He is also playing clarionet with the
Iowa state band in lieu OF irregular play
er, who is layed off on account of sick
ness. Some of the boys who have seen
Circus" say he has grown taller and
weighs a ton. Val is a musician and no
mistake and can hold up his end with
the best OF them when it comes to band
music. We understand he also gives the
Aberdeen band a lift occasionally, when
they are ~short-handed.
What a hanged lot of lunaties there
are in the United States anyhow. What's
the use OF all this crazy agitation about
the Russian thistle; it's a pest, in the line
of weeds, of course, but what OF it? The
country is i'm no danger because OF it.
People who don't like it in their garden
will hoe it up, and farmers who don't
want it to go to seed in their fields will
plow their ground at the right time. To
exterminate the weed is something that
can't be done-and there is no particular
reason why it should be done: we can
stand il if Russia can.-Bristolite.
T. p. Lemon, OF Homer, came in Satur-
day with some fine samples OF yellow
Dent and yellow Flint corn. Tom says
the Weld of each variety vas aboutforty
bushels per acre and that is the best
crop a farmer can raise, everything taken
into consideration. The corn ground is
mucb better for a wheat crop the next
year than summer fallow. The expert
ence of many farmers il that the yield OF
wheat from the former il about fifty per
cent more than from the latter. MIR.
