NEBRASKA Ia not the only country that
goes dry. Alarming reports come from
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. etc, Of great
drouth which has prevailed to that ex.
tent that spring crops have become a
total failure. An Ohioan writes to q
friend: "Out Of twenty acres Of mea.
dow, We will not get two tons Of hay"
In our old town (Clinton, Illinois) we
have many times seen the mud 60 deep
that four head Of horses could hardly
pull tho front wheels Of q lumber wagon
through it. The Clinton Public says;
1.-THE farmers will be compelled to irri
gate TO raise a CROP" That sounds fun.
ny, yet it is no doubt true, as with the
excessive drouth and the immense
amount Of thing done there, the earth
seems to have become moistureless.

for His Money.
The relatives and heirs Of an old
man who recently died in . small
French village have to congratulate
themselves on the circumstances that
his death took place during the winter,
and that, consequently, while waiting
In his cottage for the departure of the
funeral cortege to the church and the
cemetery, a fire was made to warm the
room. The defunct was in humble
circumstances, and though of a thrifty,
careful disposition, nobody thought he
had left any property worth mention
ing behind him. The day of the funer-
al being u very cold one, the old mans
store Of 1rewood was drawn upon
more freely, possibly, than the thirsty
cottager himself would have approved
of, and this led to q remarkable dis
covery. AS the flames from the crack
ling logs shot up, one of the clumps Of
wood split in two, and out of 1t, to the
surprise Of the assembled relatives.

The city's finance is in a d%eplorable
condition. The treasury is depleted
with an indebtedness that is alarming
unless the revenues increase. The bond

about $4,000. Under the present con-

 Kindly Hands to Their Rescue.

Late yesterday afternoon as Mir. J. P. Powell, who lives at Clifton, beyond Red mountain, was going home in a two- wheeled vehicle accompanied by his two daughters, Misses Grace and Ada, they met with an accident which, though not fatal, was very serious.
 When at the corner of Thirteenth avenue and Twentieth street electric car No. 13 came along and the horse becoming fright ened began rearing. He finally succeeded in throwing the three occupants out.
 MT. Powell escaped without any bruises, but his daughters were not so forum ate. The youngest, Miss Ada, was thrown against the stone curbing, striking on her back, severely wrenching it and being otherwise very badly injured. Miss Grace had severe fall also and was bruised all over.
 As soon as it was learned that the acci- dent had occurred inmates Of Messrs. B. L. Go n's and B. K. Campbell,s homes went to the assistance of the injured young ladies, and taking them into their homes did all that was possible-.to relieve their sufferings. physician was summoned and administered to the injured persons.

)ischarging watery fluid, and the burn- ing and itching would drive her nearly wild. Unless we incased her little hands she would tear patches of skin from her face and hands. We tried many doctors and many remedies and at last gave the case up as hopeless. But our daughter Cora tried Hoods Sarsaparilla, to cure scrofulous lump near the left breast which caused her much pain and after taking bottles it disappeared. Blanche, who is now eleven, had spent seven years of suffer- ing, so concluded to give her Hoods Sarsaparilla. She took bottles and her face is smooth and soft as baby's, the color of rose petal. Her hands are soft and white, where four months ago they were blue and red and . calloused nearly like leather.
