copal church officiating, and the re-
mains inferred in Highland cemetery.

farmer in the land to know: Sprinkle
little stone lime IN your stock tank

form on the water. When the lime
loses its strength and scum begins to
form, which may be twice during the

the dose. 1t is cheap, not only harm
less. but wholesome, keeps the water

Some time ago we published a
local item stating that Judge Funk
had kissed the bride.'' This was
wrong as the bride kissed the Judge.
We cheerfully make the correction as
wedo not wish to SANDER the judge or
place him in false light before the
public. However, it was a kiss and
makes very little difference either way.

Hon. Jerry Simpson and family ar
rived home last Friday. His health,
generally speaking, is better than it
was last fall and a few months rest to-
getber with our healthful climate will
bring him back to his old time strength
and vigOr. Mrs. Simpson and son,
Lester, are enjoying excellent health,
the latter having elongated into MAJ
hood since last seen by his young
friends here. His handsome features
are also commensurately increased and
the young lasses and ladies of our little
burg are all trying hand at catching
the junior congressman. Jerry thinks
the outlook for 1896 is encouraging and
is confident that our party will sweep
the country two years hence. This Is
not an opinion formed out of partisan
prejudice, but state of facts found by
conversing with men of all parties. The
people are awakening to necessity
and an emergency and party name IS no
longer source of inspiration to them;
they are beginning to realize that the
new party is all that will rescue the
nation from the clutches of the bond
holders and foreign aristocracy. Mr..
Simpson will reside OH his farm east of
town where he will devote himself to
the agricultural and cattle industry I'M
til his services are again demanded by
the common people to steer the ship of
state into the arch of safety.

LiuuOr Cases.

On last Wednesday evening Under

and Henry burst on the charge OF vio-
lating the prohibitory amendment.
They all gave bond for appearance at
the next term of the district court
which will be in May of this year.
Numerous rumors are afioat as to the
originator of the prosecutions but none
come from reliable sources. Some
accuse the w. G. T. u, others say it
was done buy parties out of purely spite
work for revenge, while others say that
the county attorney was the sole author
of the prosecution. Of course we know
nothing of the facts in the case and
are therefore unable to either deny
or affirm any of these rumors. The
different parties are arrested on from
8 to % counts most Of which are alleged
to have been committed in 1898. In
this matter it is not our purpose to
condemn or defend. 1t is the duty of
the officers to enforce the law when
complaint is made and so far as we
have been able to learn the officers have
only done their duty.
