Oakfield and Brayton-

l. L. HallOck Is having some of his
tenant houses repaired.
Most of our schools will close the fail
term during the present week.
Uncle Mark Heath has been on the
sick list the past week. Nothing very
serious we trust
The old timbers and debris of the
defunct 0akfield bridge was sold Mon-
day for fifteen dollars. Plenty.
The Chas. jenkins sale ca Monday
was well attended and nearly every
thing brought from fair to high prices.
On last Thursday evening only four
candidates put up for the night at the
Jenkins hotel at Brayton. Well, the
agony will soon be over.
The public sale of the Uncle Natty
HamliR estate last Friday was well at
tended and most everything sold
brought from fair to high prices.
ID. w. Powers is busy these days fin
ishing grading for the county. He is
working in Greeley township. A num-
Der of our people are helping him.
Potatodigging is about over. Some
yielded well while other pieces were
few potatoes in hill. Those who have
| to buy potatoes better lay in their sup
ply this fall.
Mr.. POntius, who resided in this
vicinity several years since, has return
ed and will locate among us again. We
welcome the family back. This is a
good country in which to reside.
Let every republican see TO it that
he goes to the polls OH election day,
and also remember that every man on
his ticket is worthy and well qualified
and is deserving of his support.
A candidate comes to you and invites
you to sacrifice your political princi-
pies and vote for him, just because you
are neighbors. He, the candidate,
never did scratch his ticket, and is
asking for him self what he would not
do for you. Consistency is a jewel"
Sam Green's family have been severe
ly afflicted with typhoid fever. One
little boy died last week and four more
are sick. The family resides in the
eastern part of the town of Oakfield
The location is we'll drained and on
high ground and no apparent reason
for the prevalence of the fever at that
place appears, unless it be the water
they were using for house purposes.
DR.. Koob is attending them and at the
present writing there is some improve
ment.
The Botna bridge is no more. And
now that it has finished its'work with
out taking the life of human being,
we are more than glad. On last Thurs
day morning while Messrs Jenkins and
Howell were taking some cattle across
the bridge the entire structure went
down with crash, carrying with it
several cattle. Charles and Marion
jenkins and a gentleman who was
with the cattle, were all on horseback
and the horses were within few feet
of the structure when it.collapsed. A
narrow escape. Two cattle were so
manned as to necessitate being killed.
We have felt for months that the
bridge was unsafe, and look at the
ruins would cause one to wonder why
it stood as long as itdid. A temporary
bridge has been built few rods above
the old bridge so that the traveller can
be accommodated.

ClSdI, INC eyes Drlgnt
and the lips rosy. Hearty, healthy whole
Sorneness is better than mere beauty of
features. A face full of the glow of good
health-full of the kindliness and good
humor that health brings, is bound to
be an attractive face-a face that will
make friends. The face tells the story
of the whole body. Murder will out f"
and so will "female weakness" and
nervousness and other disorders peculiar
to women.
If there is a drain on the system and
strength, the record of it will show in
the face. If there is nerve nagging
bearing down" pains, dragging and
pulling at the most sensitive organs in a
woman's body, the face will show it..
Abused nerves draw lines of care and
worry ON the face. Nervous prostration
writes its warning on the face long before
comes: Sleeplessness, nervousness and
facilitating drains make more wrinkles
than age.
Nine-tenths of the sickness of women
comes from some arrangement of organs
distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this
sickness can be cured and avoided by the
use OF DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is nothing, miraculous about the
Ravorite Prescription nothing super
natural.
1t Is the result of rational thought
and study applied to medicine.
1t has been prescribed by DR.. Pierce
for over 80 years. IT has made thousands
OF women healthy and happy, and has
brought JOY TO thousands Of homes.
In female weakness it acts directly
ana strongly in healing and strengthen
Ing the parts that are most SEVERELY tried.
1t clears out impurities and promotes
regularity at all times.

VIM. J. Bryan Takes His Seat as Presiding
Officer Amid Cheers.
Salt Lake City, July 16-The Trans
Mississippi congress was at work yes
terday by a. m. and the feature of the
morning session was the appearance
of the regular chairman, William j.
Bryan, who was loudly eheered and
made brief speech. closing as follows:
I'VE will rear people in the great
west that win stand for American lib
erty and American progress" Resolu-
tiens were introduced dealing with ev-
cry subject interesting to the great west
irrigation, the tariff on lead and 9TH
er western products, Pacific coast har-
bors, control of the Pacific railway,
mines and mining, etc.
At the afternoon session a quartette
OF little girls sang song. the refrain
of which was Bryan, echo his name

speeches on irrigation and other mat
tiers and finally the resolutions commit

that calls for redoubled energy in the
cause and commends the action of
Mckinley in sending to Europe
the silver commission, but at the same
time declares emphatically for indepen-
dent action regardless of the action of
any other nation. A minority report
declared that the silver question was
partisan now, and should have no place
in this convention. Both reports went

Saved Against His VIII.

Another v. c. Of my acquaintance
he is anything but a doctor-once saved
a trooper whose horse had been killed.
His argument was rather original. The
man was on foot, and the enemy-Zu1us
this time, and they are beautiful fight
ers-were coming down at run, and
he said very decently that he did not
see his way to periling his officers life
by double weighting the only horse
there was.
To this hie officer answered, eff you
don't get up behind me, I'll get of and
I'll give you such a licking as you've
never had in your life" The man was
more afraid of fists than >assegais, and
the good horse pulled them both out Of
the scrape. Now, by the regulations an
officer who insults or threatens with
violence a subordinate of his service is
liable to lose his commission and to be
declared incapable of serving the
queen in any capacity but for some
reason or other the trooper never report
ed his superim.-Rudyard Kipling in

The republican papers from one
end Of the country to the other have
all began with one accord to apollo
giae for the tariff bill even before it
is passed. 1t is q question whether
it will raise the necessary revenue to
meet the expenses Of the govem-
ment. II it does not do 80 it will
certainly be a failure, and IL it does
do so it will be worse bill than IL it
did not. As the Springfield Register
says. bill made up for the p1otec-
tion OF trusts and combines is bad
enough. but after putting in all
those Objectionable features then to
add to 1T features which will tax the
necessities Of life for the purpose Of
running the government makes the
bill still worse, so that it will be q
failure il it does not produce enough
revenue, and il il does produce
enough revenue it will be at the sx-
pense Of the class Of people who are
the least able to stand it.

When the Sc. Was Fresh Water.

The ocean was once merely brackish,
and not salt, as it is now. This was
when the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all or any animal life in the water.
At this time the water was gradually
cooling from its original state of steam,
and the salts were slowly undergoing
the change from gases iato solids. Then
came the appearance of land, and later
on rivers, which gradually washed down
more and more salts, while at the bot
tom of the ocean itself chemical action
was constantly adding more brine to
the waters. At present it is estimated
there are in the world g oceans 2, 900, 600
cubic miles oftsalt.' and tine most aston
ishing thing about it is that if all the
salt could be taken out in a moment
the level of the water would not drop
one single inch.-New York World.
