igan. One of the little girls had an
attack of the scarlet fever while in the
east, and the other is now suffering
a slight attack of the same illness. 1t
is not thought that the case is viru-
lent, but every preeaution will be
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease.
MIR. l.. r. Ray came over from
Yates Center last week with his fami-
Iy and has secured the BevingtOn
house, Just north of the Jail. Mr.. Ray

cupied by E. G. Esse and expects to
occupy it, as soon as the Esse goods
are disposed of, with complete new
stock of groceries. He will also run
meat market in connection with the
grocery store.

Union: James Wakefield is now q
property owner in Humboldt. He has
purchased the Dayton property oceu-
pied by George G. Barber. This is
desirable residence property and in
nice location, and we congratulate
Mr.. Wakefield in his purchase. He
is having a new roof put on and other
improvements made, which will add
to the beauty of the property and
comfort of the occupants.
We used to be inclined to think
that the best way to get even with
the foreign hens that wandered into
our yard was to kill them. But we
have dropped onto a scheme worth
two of that. We have fixed up boxes
in cozy places for them, and started
them to laying eggs for US. At the
rate they have been laying for us the
past week we are going to get mighty
good rent out of those chickens.
K. CsGazette: G. J. Norton, of
Moran, 8 frequent correspondent to
the Kansas Farmer, congratulates
one of the pioneers in subsoiling near
Girard saying: The fact that the
work is too hard on horses shows how
much the hard subsoil would be benz
Gifted by subsoiling and by filling
up with rain. One might as well
have a solid ledge at the bottom Of
the plant root as such a sub SOIL"
An exchange says: Let any victim
of the liquor habit eat tomatoes,
sprinkled with salt, consuming as
much each day as possible. Let the
eating of tomatoes and salt to excess
be continued for several days, and the
tomato-eater will find liquor offensive,
undrinkable, ungrateful to the stom-
ach, so much so that it will be thrown
up. This is the cheapest cure yet
heard of and is said to be effective.
A notice is displayed in the post
office, from the secretary of the Unit
ed States Treasury, advertising for
bids on the new issue of 100 million
dollars in bonds. If you are afraid of
the banks and don't want to trust a
stocking, this is a good chance to put
your money where it will be safe, for
when these bonds fall due there will
be Republican administration in
power and they will sure be paid.
1t is reported that the farmers are
the heaviest losers by the failure of
the Humboldt bank. We understand
that the Forester brothers alone mad
$4,000 on deposit, while a number of
others had sums ranging from 500 to
$1,000. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the bank will pay out,
and we earnestly hope it will. But
how about the theory that the farm
ers are all being reduced 10 slavery
by the "crime" of 20?
We call the particular attention of
farmers to Mr. Barth's article about
his experiments with coal oil and
seed corn. 1t seems to US that what
he gays about the coal oil preventing
mice, cut worms and other pests from
destroying the seed sounds very rea-
sOnable, and this alone would pay for
the small trouble and expense. We
very much doubt whether the coal oil
would keep away the chinch bugs,
but that remains to be seen.
