The subsidence of the bog near seems
to have been an extraordinary affair.
There were terrible storms through
the night and about a m the people
of the district We're alarmed by an un-
usual rumbHng which they feared was
caused by an earthquake.
The bog, which was believed to be 30
feet deep and which had supplied the
neighbOrhOOd with peat was moved for
several miles along an old water course
filling a quarry 20 feet deep on the way
and flooding the rivers of the county
with peat water and doing a deal Of
damage.
At the Donnely homestead ten per

JUDGE WELLS CLERK
Named-It is w. H. Thompson, of
Seneca.

The judges, elect. of the appellate
court for the northern division have
been in consultation today at the
ThrOop. They decided to ask the pres
ent court to adjourn the term that is
set to be held at Concordia. to begin on
the 18th of January, so that it viii be-
gin on the 18th instead of the 18th.
The Judge from each district designa-
ted the clerk for the court that he de-
sired to have appointed and the selec-
tions were agreed to by the other
judges There has been some consider
able speculation as to whether the
Populist judges would allow Judge
Wells to name the clerk in this dis
trict- When the judges met this morn
ing it was the first time they had been
together since the election and the Pop
uist members informed Judge Wells
that they were willing that he should
name the clerk in this division if he
would name a silver Republican, a
Democrat or a Popuist. This was en-
tirely satisfactory to Judge Wells and
he named w. H. Thompson, a son of
Judge Thompson of Seneca. Mr. Thomp-
son is a brother Of AIr- Wells sons wife
son is a brother of Mr.. Wells sons vile
and a free silver Democrat he is at
present a clerk in Gleed, Ware & Gleed's
office of this city. The other clerks are
w H Gates. MankatO. in the central
division and p. J. GOss, Jr., of Colby,in
the western division.
Judge Mahan of Abilene will be the
presiding judge.

Resneot the stomaon.

Few people do have proper respect for
the stomach. If a thing tastes good"
and is not so hot or cold as to be pain
ful to the mouth or throat, it is swal-
lowed by too many people regardless of
consequences.
Do not give the stomach food that will
irritate it or retard it in the perform
ance of it's natural functions or it viii
retaIiate in a way that is decidedly un-
pleasant A headache, a lump or
"heavy feeling in the stomach and ir-
ritatiDns of the skin are mostly symp-
toms of disordered digestion resulting
from unwhoIesome food.
Alum baking powders are responsible
for the larger part of the unwhOlesOme
food, for it is a fact well recognized
by physicians that alum renders food
indigestihle and unwholesOme-
The danger to health from this cause
is so imminent that it behooves every
one to adopt precautionary measures to
keep alum baking powders, which are
now so numerous. from the kitchen
stores. 1t will be found that those
powders sold at a lower price than
Royal are almost invariably made from
alum. and therefore of inferior quality
and dangerous to health
The safer way is to look for the we'll
known red-and-yellow brand Of the
RovaI Baking Powder. That is certain
to cover d powder free from alum The
RovaI is made from cream Of tartar,

cranes 1t is renowned for adding anti
dvsDeptic qualities to the food as well
as for making finer and better food.
