l. Business Improving!


Is business improving? No less an
authority than Dams Rcl>ieir says that
it is, and gives facts and figures to
substantiate its statements, but such
statements do not count for much
when a man puts his hand into an
empty pocket, or merchant foots up
his outstanding accounts.
But while it must be admitted that
in Ellsworth and in Hancock county,
signs of general Improvement are
looked for in vain, We believe that
much of this is due to other than po-
itical causes. Take for instance the
granite paving industry, which has
been gradually declining for several
years. 1t is not necessary to search
far for the cause; visit any of the
large cities-New York, Philadelphia
or Boston-which have afforded the
principal market for Hancock coun=
tvs paving blocks, and mark the
rapid increase in use of asphalt for
street paving, a result largely due, no
doubt, to the undated bicycle craze.
And so, too, in other branches of bus
mess and trade III this section. the
cause fer continued depression NAV
be traced to natural causes.
Maine did not begin TO feel the
stress OF hard times until long after
other states of larger commercial in

An Owl Club Outing

The "Owl Club" had quite an interest
ING experience last Saturday night. Ten
oi the members who had been al tending
court at Langdon piled into a sleigh be-
hind small pair OF horses about 9
o'clock and started for Milton. When
about six miles ou, from the county seat
town the team wilted, and the boys were
compelled to take a tie pass a Ia hobo
down to Osnabrock, which point they
reoched at 3 o'clock, and put up at the
Albion until morning, when they con-
tinued their journey, reaching Milton at
II o'clock Sunday. Their midnight trip
down the railroad track can better be
imagined rhun described, and will long

SMUT IN WHEAT.

The department Of agriculture
recommends the following remedy
for sinking smut in wheat: I'm
merse the seed for few minutes
in scalding water not much above
1872 degrees, and not in any case
above 1876; place the grain suppos-
ed to te affected in sacks in quan-
titles of half a bushel at time;
immerse it first in water having a
temperature of ITO degrees, and
when warm plunge it into another
vessel where the heat shows the
temperature required. The vol
ume of boiling water should be six
to eight times as great as the seed
treated, and the thermometer
should be consulted all the time
the wheat is in the scalding water.
The grain after remaining fifteen
minutes under treatment is taken
ont and dried. It is best to treat
the seed just before planting. Be-
fore placing in the sacks again
these should be thoroughly boiled
i for fifteen minutes. This is done
to prevent any spores Of smut
which have escaped from the dry
wheat remaining to infect the seed
after It has been cleaned.

Chased by a Manitoba Blizzard.

Mr.. Jacob Warnken had rough ex-

in the evening, where he put in the night

haustion, and was properly cared for

committee from the council with bnt lit
tie discussion.
Inc Dill will of course be in the hands
OF the representatives of the county. and
before introducing it, they can make such
alterations or amendments as they or the
people may desire, but it is not probable
that any change of material Importance

one of the provisions of the measure is
stated to be $4,000 annual license for
selling liquors in Terrell county except
as provided for in the dispensary act.

The county commissioners will elect
the manager and have entire control Of
