Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Always
Proves Efeectual.

There are no better medicines on the
market than Chamberlain's. We have
used the Cough Remedy when all others
failed, and in every instance it proved
effcctual. Almost daily We hear the vir-
tues of Chamberlain's remedies cxtolled
by those who have used them. This is
not an empty puff, paid for at so much
a line, but is voluntarily given in good
faith, in the hope that suffering human
ity may try these remedies and. like the
writer, be benefited. From the Glen

H. n. Rogers has been cultivating
a melon patch during the summer,
and had the prospect in few days Of
having 200 or 300 melons to place on
the market. Last week Thursday
night a gang of boys got into the
patch and cut and plugged nearly
every melon. The loss falls particu-
1arly hard on Mr.. Rogers because the
raising of melons and garden truck is
about the only way he has of making
living. It-was a dirty trick on the
part of the boys, and it does seem that
there ought to be some way of met
ing out to them the punishment they
so richly deserve.

Sudden Death.

Our community was sadly shocked
last Monday afternoon upon the re-
ceipt of the sad news that Ben. G.
Rich had died very uddenly-almost
without warning-abOut noon of
that day. Although it was known
that Mr.. Rich was well advanced in
years, being about %, and that his
general health had not been very
good for several years, yet the most
intimate of his numerous friends
would not have supposed that the fell
destroyer had marked him for his
own. He was upon our streets only a
few weeks ago, apparently in good
health. His robust figure, beaming
eye, CHEEKY voice and hearty hand
shake gave no Indication of his sud-
den demise. But they are gone and we
will greet him no more here, forever. A
pail, as it were, has fallen upon the
community in which he had so long
lived life of useful activity and a
broken circle gathers disconsolately
about his hearthStone.
We are unable to give, at this time,
many particulars of his early life or
of it's sudden ending. 1t seems that
upon the day of his death he had been
at work in the field Repairing to
the house about noon he complained
of distress in his stomach followed by
nausea. Simple household remedies
were given which afforded little if
any relief. The tender ministrations
of faithful, loving hands were power
less to prevent impending dissolution
and he expired in few moments.
The immediate cause of his death is
supposed to be the bursting of an alb
cess.
Mr.. Rich was a native of Montgom-
cry county, Pennsylvania, and lived
for some time in Iowa before coming
to Trego county in 1873. While yet a
young man he studied law and was
admitted TO the bar. Both before
and after coming here he Taught
school several wears, being at one
time principal of the Wa-Keene
schools. and was superintendent o1
public instruction in this county il
the years 1856. In this position
he had supervision of the schools oil

county were then in the formative
stage. He had much important work
to do in the organization of school
districts, sale of school lands and Sys-
tematizing the records of his office.
In political life Mr. Rich was for
many years Republican, but left the
party about 1888, and became a
leader of the allied opposition in 1890,
achieving state reputation. Being
a forceful and ready speaker. well
verSed upon topics then under discus
sion, his services were ever in demand
and were fitly rewarded by appoint
ment as chief clerk of the legislature
of 1891 for which he was we'll quail
fed. He subsequently filled other
and similar positions and his voice
was recognized in the councils of his
party
But it was in his farm that he took
the greatest pride and as farmer and
ranchman he did his best and most
enduring work. That work outlives
him and will have far-reaching infiu-
ence.
Upon coming to Trego county he
selected lands upon Big creek about
five miles south of Ogallah. There he
established a stock farm and being
enamored of the place he called it
Eureka ranch. Having found de-
sirable location he set about with en-
ergetic industry to build up home
with pleasant Surroundings, noted for
convenience and comfort rather than
elegant display. In pursuit of this
object he planted trees, shrubs and
vines, established an irrigation plant.
built reservoir. stocked fish pond.
and Ell ected green house. ice house,
etc. Despite many seemingly unsur-
mountable obstacles he succeeded in
growing many rare and valuable
plants, shrubs, fruits and vegetables
which now serve as object lessons
to his despairing fellow-farmers and
a monument to his genius. He
was of an original and inquiring turn
of mind and the results of his investi-
cations and experiments were given
to farmers clubs and papers that
Others might be benefited by them.
During his twenty years residence
here he kept a careful record of the
weather, rainfall, etc. 1t was in
these matters and for the reasons
given that he served his county best
and was recognized as an authority.
In religion Mr.. Rich was independ-
fsent, yet liberal and tolerant toward
Others He belonged for many years
to the Masonic fraternity being a
charter member in good standing of
Wa-Keeney lodge which conducted
the funeral rites from the residence
on Tuesday. The remains were in

was assisted by the Ellis lodge and
the Eastern Star of that place The
/ largest funeral procession ever seen in
the county testified to the esteem in
which the deceased was held. He leaves

The fellow made a mistake, turned

When he came out one morning he
found it had fallen in and was filed
in nearly to the top. He looked cau-

near, then took off his hat and coat
and hung them on the windlass and
crawled into some bushes to await re-
suits In short time the neighbors
discovered that the well had fallen in

bushes and good naturedly thanked
them for relieving him of sorry job.
