4 Rude Awakening.

The court house park IS becom-
ing great resort in the daytime
for buns and hobos. During the
brief interval when not engaged
in rustling for back-door handouts
a choice collection OF them may be
found lying about on the ground
and utilizing all the benches to the
exclusion of many good citizens.
One of the tribe had a rude
awakening one day this week while
enjoying his regular daylight siesta
beneath the cottonwoods. BY
special permit OF the city council
the park is daily flooded from an
open hose, and some wag picked
up the hose and placed it where
the water would run directly be-
meath q sleeping bum. He was
dead to the world, and the water
had completely surrounded him
without disturbing his slumber.
He would probably have been
obliged to swim out had not a
passer-by taken compassion on
him and woke him up. When he
got up he was soaked through and
madden than a wet hen. He
wanted to lick somebody, but as
the man who woke him up wore a
star and carried gun and was
pretty husky himself, he changed
his mind and walked away in
search OF flowing bowl to drown
his sorrow and complete the job.
Crockett s. Hodges have added
an elegant and complete line Of
hair goods to their millinery stock,
comprising all the latest things

Pe-ru-na has become to be SO universal
~ recognized as specific cure for ca
tarrh, acute or chronic, coughs, colds
bronchitis, that it is amazing that any
one should continue to suffer on with
such terrible maiady, neglecting to
take a course of treatment with 1t. OF
course it may be that some people have
not yet come to know of this great
catarrh remedy, but it is strange that it
should be so after such multitudes have
been cured by it and so many papers
have heralded it from one end of the
country to the other. But the news
travels faster and faster every month,
and no one can fail to see that the time
is not far distant when Pe-ru-na win be
known in every household in the land.

TRAGEDY At THE HILL
Bully Jones Fatally Wounded

Stroud's Wife Said to Have Been the Cause Of
The Shooting. Stroud Surf ,nders to

Durham, n c., Dec. 27--(Special.)- y
From a citizen of Chapel Hill, who was
i'm the city today, we learn of fatal
shooting that occurred in the town hast
night. Bob Stroud shot Bully Jones
the latter living only about thirty minutes
after being shot.
The trouble is said to have originated
in the fact that Jones and Strond's wife
had been on terms of intimacy. Our i'll
tormant says that Stroud had not been
arrested UP to the time he left there to-
day. 1t is thought. however, that ho has
not yet left that town.

Good Advice for Maine.

Mr.. S. Dill, Maine man in Dillsburgh,
Ill.,, writes the Drovers' Journal, making
the following suggestion. which is as APP
plicable in the state of Maine as in Hi
nois
"There has been great deal said
about high prices of beef. will give you
my observation about it. | agree with
most of them that it is supply and demand
causing high prices. Some four or five
years ago prices were too low for Illinois
and eastean state farmers to compete with
western range cattle, so they sold what
they had at low prices, and in place of
raising from two to ten calves they let
them suck till q to weeks old and sold
them in Chicago for veal. That was the
best way for them to do at that time
Now it is different. The western range
cattle are not in such great numbers as
four or five years ago. If feeder here
wants TO feed cattle he goes to Chicago
and ships them in to feed because he
can't pick up his eeders here in the coun.
try as before. If prices stay where they
are now, next spring will see Illinois far
mers raising more calves and better bred
ones. In about three years they will be
ready for market. Just think, if every
farmer on SO or 100 acres throughout Hi
nois and the eastern states would raise
two steers a year, what a supply that
would make. Meanwhile prices will be
high till that is done.
