Down In the Mondamin hotel in
Sioux City, there is on exhibition q
stalk OF corr that measures II feet In

the attention OF visitors. 1t was grown
on George X. Freeman's farm, and is

A tramp entered the house of the
elder Quintelle, south of this city, one
day last week and stole q gold watch
and some handkerchiefs. Sheriff
Anderson was put on his track and soon
cornered him in a field of maise. The
robber said his name was Brown, and
acknowledged the crime. He was
bound over. In the drawer from which
the watch was stolen was $500 in cash.
1t is needless to say the thief didn't
know 1t wa there.
Robbers made an attempt to burglar
ize the residence of Capt. j. M. Talcott
on Monday evening. The robber took
aladder and climbed up on the one
story addition to the large residence.
Then he laid q plank on the tin roof SO
that the sleepers would not hear him
when he walked across to make his en-
trance in a second story window. The
Talcott daughters were aroused by the
noise, however, an on awakening the
neighbors the rObber made a jump to
the ground and made good his escape.
Ole Ringsrud threshed on Monday
his barley crop which for yield exceeds
anything ever heard in this country SO
far as we know. He had Is acres OF
ground, and when he threshed he Sc
cured 1922 bushels, an average OF 793
bushel to the acre. lin my twenty
years experlance as q farmer" said Mr..
Ringsrud II have never seen the equal
of it. would not believe it II told by
anyone. l could not, but the barley is
there and the Is acres. 1t was thresh-
ed from the shock and was harvested
six weeks ago."
States Attorney Keller will in a few
days serve notice on the advocates of
Christian science in this city that they
must discontinue their practice of heal
ing the sick; that il they do continue,
criminal action will be brought against
them. If the facts as represented in
connection with the death of Mrs.
Maud Merrill, daughter of John Crun,
are true, it is time action was taken by
the authorities. There seems little
doubt but what the girl-for she was
only l6 years OF age-rOtted to death
from lack of proper medical attend

could not be considered as dangerous
II taken in hand in time by a compe-
tent physician. Her suffering was
said ~ be intense, and not the slig htest
relief was permitted to be given to ease
her dying moments. Some people call
it downright murder, and 1t does look
very much ~ il they had given the
event its proper name. OF curse these
Christian scientists will call 1t persecu-
ton for the authorities to prosecute
them, vet something must be done to
prevent such cases Of actual murder as
is evidenced in the Crum case If the
facts are ~ represented.
On Monday two wagon loads oil

ed overland far Heresford, under the
guardianship Of Alex. Reynick. 1t was
all that remained of The Republican,
after nm existence OfIa ear and one
month. Just as The COURIER is near.

remains. while The COURIER through
