Fireman Jim Davis went to Kansas
City Wednesday night for q few days
visit.

couple of days this week mending bat
teries.
The freight trains on the Rock Island
continue to make good time-about 10
miles an hour.
Sam Beidelman won the piano ratified
off at Corners Friday. The lucky
number was 100.
There is a shortage of engines on the
Rock Island lines west of the Missouri
river. 1t is occasioned by heavy bust
ness. The company is short of road
engines on nearly every division. A
request, however, has been made for
the transfer Of engines from east Of
the river.
The presence in Denver last week of
Vice President W, H. Truesdale, Gen
eral Superintendent Hit, General Pas
senger Agent John Sebastian, and
other prominent officials of the Rock
Island railroad, has given rise to a re-
port that they contemplate the acquis-
ition of the Colorado Midland, and the
Rio Grande Western railroads, thus
extending the system to Ogden to con-
meet with the Central Pacific.
A good story is told on a rather ner-
vous young lady. Yesterday she was
crossing at the Fourth street crossing
while the trainmen were doing some
switching. AS the train was backed
up one of the bTakemen called to the
other: "Jump onto her when she comes
by; run her down beyond the elevator
and cut her in two and bring the head
end up to the depot. 1t is said the
young lady jumped up and down and
yelled murder as loud as she could

How TO Prsrent Croup.

Some reading that will prove inter-
esting to young mothers. How to guard
against the disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow,
The first symptom is hoarseness; this
is soon followed by s peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time 70 act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham.
beriain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group viii soon disap-
pear. Even after the eroupy cough has
developed it viii prevent the attack
There is no danger in giving this re.

THE FARMER POSITION.

The Politician Doesn't Like Him and His
Honesty Accounts fer 1t.
Who is the farmer? We get varied
answers. The city man, behind his
desk OF gilded bank railing will tell
you that the farmer is man who tills
the soil; a rather plain, rough looking
fellow, seldom a very rich man, and
hence of but little Importance TO this
we'll dressed, we'll groomed, soft handed
city man.
Ask the idle rich, just back from
abroad and he will tell you that the
farmer is an "uncouth fellow, ignorant
of transatlantic manners, Indifferent
to Partisan or London good FORM" A
person of very little moment to this ma
tional founding
Ask the political boss-"A trouble
some fellow" be will say. Too much to
thinking for himself, not easily handled
and hard to corrupt.
But ask the wise man. He will say,
"the farmer is the foundation Of our re-
public, the man who has always re-
sponded with a calm and fearless front,
who has looked along rife barrel with
an eye undimmed by city smoke, with
a steady hand on the twiggeF. His feet
carried him into the battle ranks as
! bravsly and as uncOmplsiningly as they
/ followed in the corn row OF walked be-
hind the reaper. In times of peace he
is the man who bides at home, the one
man in this hurrying money getting
world who has time to think, TO reason
/ things out for himself. He talks TO his
boys, and by and by, when father is
asleep over in the little old church
yard, the world viii call for a good and
great man and the farm-bOy, grown a
a man now, will go and serve, by being
faithful in high place, those who have
been unmindful of him; who did not
| knew that under the blue sky or tOiling
in the rain WAS the man on whom they
must one day depend.
"The farmer is the only man who has
| God for a partner. With honest work

ground and God gives it back to him

'L.et no man jest at the farmer, be

every man poorer"

Mr.. Bryan was rendered royal re-
ceptioB in the two cities, thousands of
people being there to greet him and
pledge themselves to carry his banner
to victery in 1900.
There was to have been a midnight
reception rendered him at the depot
here, but it was reported that he
had changed his plans and would 50
over the Burlington. Many people
dissppointedly went to bed, but few
brave souls bTaved the storm and ban
ished sleep on the longchance that the
first report was true. They got theiI
reward by shaking hands with future
president of the United States. Mr.
Bryan is not of the kind that thaWs
out only at election time, and he cheer
fully appeared and responded to the
welcome of the little knot of his unter
Titied supporters.

More Prosperity.

The Pullman Palace Car company
has reduced the wages Of the employees
in the big shops at Pullman, ILL.,, Is per
cent. This not only applies to the few
men who we're employed regularly, but
to all those who we're laid off until the
election should be over, and who are
now being gradually re-employed. In
addition, it is said, each re-employed
workman must contract to live in the
town of Pullman and pay rent to the
| COMPANY.

You Could Have Been Thankful
That you still live.
That the election is over.
That the country was saved-again
That it is not four more years of
Grover.
That there is but a few of the best of
you left.
That taxes are due only once every
twelve months.
That forest fires and tidal waves are
terrorless to you.
That the things you have to buy are
no higher than they are.
That next year expectations are up to
the usual high standard.
Thatyou are blissfulIy ignorant Of the
troubles the future holds for you.
That times are no worse than they
are, and that they can get no worse.
That your sorroWs and cares are not
the only ones on earth. There are others
That poverty is the rule, and not the
exception. Misery likes company, you
know.
That you live where the fear of the
children being brought home dead from
the skating pond exists not.
That last years crop failure was in 6
year that prices ranged below the cost
of producing grain. This lessons the
grief, while not filling the granary.
BLESSED be nothing, sounds the very
depths of optimism, but who can say
that he had nothing for which to give
thanks when all have enough for the
daily needs, and to spare?

Whitest Of snow with the kiss OF stars,
Lingering soft on each falling wreath
Floating ia peace tbro' the prison bars,
Linning the dark that reigns beneath.

Whiten the fields and distant lands,
Leave on the bills your peaceful kiss.
Above the clatter Of lane and street,

The weary home when the day was fed.
Al, happy hearts, if your home is blest,
With woman's love and her radiant face,
Heaven is yours with its joy and rest,
With sunshine filling the sacred place.
Faces are white with the cireling SNOW,
Lips are red with the wintry blasts;
As eagerly on thro' the streets they go,
Reaching the haven of love at last.

Cometh the snow as a welcome guest;
Soft as the touch of a lovers hand,
Pure as the gold of the setting sun;
Jewels adrift from the heavenly land
Wbiten the path where the gloom lies on.
Blossoms Of purity culled with care,
Offerings pure from the God we love,
Rest on the hills in loving prayer,
Blessing the hand that rules above.

And sing of the peace that is ours tonight

When I oAly dreamed that your love was mir
And saw not a CLEAN in the sulleR skies.
Thus let US watch the falling snow

ANOTHER BLIZZARD ON.

Thanksgiving DaWns With the Weather
Exceedingly Stormy.
The fog which enveloped the the city
and prairies all day Wednesday, turned
to sIeet in the evening and in 3 short
time layer of ice covered everything
exposed to the storm. Later the sleet
was dipslaced by a light, sitting snow,
which Thursday morning began drift
ing, and a blizzard was on.
The fact that the ground is coated
with ice makes it rough on stock which
have to rustic for their daily fodder
The temperature fell rapidly, and
coupled with the wind, made the storm
a very nasty one.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
The Business OF the Session Finished Up
Tuesday and Adjournment Made.


The Business OF the Session Finished Up
Tuesday and Adjournment Made.
The case of Fox rs. Lancaster took
up three days of the courts time last
week. The case had been tried once
before and resulted in a jury disagree
ment. The litigation grew out of Mr..
Lancaster damming the Smoky in 1894
under the impression that he so had a
right to do under his acquired water
title. Fox sued under the statute pro-
viding leaving enough for domestic
use flowing in the stream, and asked
for $500 damages. The case was stub
bornly contested on both sides and
when the jury retired Friday evening
to find their verdict neither side ex-
hibited any confidence in the result.
After being out nearly all night a YER
dict, giving Fox SAG damage and assess
ing the costs to Mr.. Lancaster, was
agreed upon.
It is understood that the defendant
will take an appeal.
The case Of Thacker VS.. FedeFman,
in which the plaintiff alleged the de-
PENDANT was asking usurious interest
was creative of some interest. 1t seems
that Thacker had borrowed money Of
Federman on the short loan plan
agreeing to pay the usual interest on
that sort of loan. The note was re
neWed from time to time, and when the
defendant finally asked for payment
the sum total of principal and Interest
amounted to S262. Judge Smith looked
over the documents in the case, and
while deprecating the policy of agree
ing to pay a certain rate of interes
and then rushing to the courts fol
relief, cut the amount down $50, the
original amount of the loan, and Lawful
interest. The costs we're assessed t.
the plaintiff.
The case of Warren vs.. Lee, of q SINH
lar character, was compromised wheI
the ruling was made in the Thacker
Federman case.
The case Of the GOodland Building
and loan association vs.. h. H. Auer, il
which the defendant claimed an unjus
balance was being sought against him
was also attended with much interest
This association appeared to have film
