Everything is lovely here now.
Such nice scenery, nice groves scat,
tered here and there, all over, it
beats your all praire country. All
our trouble is our rainy season, it
lasts too long. Perhaps we will call
it Cuba.

broken into last Sunday night and a
lot of clothing and jewelry and nu-
merous other things taken to the
amount Of $500 or more. Tracks
leading east for three quarters Of a
mile were followed, then turned
south, but could not be found after
that. No clue can be found as yet,
but constable johnson will start this
afternoon with a search warrant for
them. He thinks he can find them.
Justice Ingalls, issued the warrant.
Mr.. Wilson is quite excited over it.
There was no one in the store at the

Fred and Harry Erickson caught
four young wolves short time since.
Emil Anderson lost three sheep
lately by wolves.
Alfred Paulson made us pleasant

merchants. Come often, Paul.
Julius Hanson was down one day
last week; says he does not wish to
go back to Denmark where he would
have to work a day. for pound Of
coffee. That is right, julius; stick
to the biggest country on earth, and
the best people in it and hurrah for
our president and all Of our soldiers

We wish to say right here that we
have voted our first and last vote fo1
a democrat. We all must admit that
the times are some better, but the
farmers can hardly see it yet here, as
the price Of what they have to sell is
not rising as much as what they have
to buy, but stock has been at good
prices for about two years. We look
for and hope there is a better time
coming for the laboring class, be they
farmers or what not.
Erick Anderson has had serious
time in trying to paint his house this
season. First he put on coat oi
paint early last spring it showed that

out and all came off Then again he
just got IL nicely painted and that
very night there was very hard rain
and, well, his house looked like a

So much rain
The heaviest thunder shower OF
the season came to-day at 1 o'clock
. p. M, and it rained hard for about
two hours. 1t rained % days here
in May, and this is - so far this
month We seem to have our rainy

Wheat is spindling and in fact
looks sick; oats some better; barley
fair, as to that which has come up. .
Ex-senator j.. @. Cronkhite, with
his family and moving outfit, con
sisting OF three four-horse teams and
one team and covered carriage and
a lot OF cattle and loose horses and
mules, camped here last Wednesday
night on his way to his new home in
the town OF ROLLS, 18 miles due east
OF here, where he has a new residence
ready to occupy. Oh, but he says
the roads are a terror between here
and town! Mrs. Cronkhite was
greatly pleased with the country
here, and especially with ", H. In

ing like it elsewhere in Marshall
county.
There will be a heavy crop Of grass
this season. S@

break, run his pillow just one day
now; will have to wait several days
for it to dry up,
Nels Hanson is selling off his prop
erty and will go back to Denmark
some time during; the summer or
fall; he seems to be homesick, but we
cannot see how he can possibly bet
ter himself by going away.

day on his way home to East Grand

Ed. Bolton went to Argyle last
week and drove home new team.
George Elliott and Ambrose Peet
passed here q few days since on their

wet before they reached here; put
their team in the barn and waited
about one hour. It stopped raining,
they started, but it rained soon after
they left, and we have not heard
from them since.

tor came on board. He was made an-
quainted with our apprehension and we
were summoned before him. After read
ing US a caustic lecture on the evil wa
and sized US up. AS a result of his ex.
animation our guards were again
changed One was put over Honig and
myself and special man was detailed
to watch over Billy. They all had or
ders not to allow us out of sight for a
moment. This readjustment rather hurt
bit of a fellow and we did not see why
a special guard should be detailed 10
watch him while single man was
deemed sufficient to take care Of both
of us.
Then we got into trouble between our
selves. This single espionage racket had
converted US into sort Of legal Siamese
twins Whatever one of us wished to 40
both had to do and wherever one of us
wished to go there the other had to fol-
low. The guard was willing to accom-
pany US to any part of the ship, but he
insisted we should not separate Now
this occasioned all sorts Of illfeeling be-
tween US.
HONG and myself are dissimilar in every
way and our tastes are as opposite as
our appearances If I wanted to look at
the city front 1t was a ctnch that Honig
would want TO gaze at Alcatraz, and Il
HONG wanted to f1irt with some one over
the bow 1 would have a particular friend
in one of the boats astern.
Finally we came TO an arrangement by
winch we took turn about, each man be-
ing the elder twin for half an hour, then
giving way to the other. This agreement
worked like a charm and the guard, who
had been losing flesh trying to keep us
both together, had a chance to get little
rest.
When the vessel came to an anchor a
tug bearing our superiors came alongside
and message was sent up to US 10 lose
the guard and come down on board.
We told the boys what was wanted and
they stood in with US nobly Getting
around our patrol they so mixed him uD
among themselves that we had q chance
to slip away. l got on to the tug by the
help Of a portfolio which couple OF SOL
dlers held open while l sid down a rope
which friendly coalpasser supplied me
with. Honig was there when [ arrived
and Britt, losing his custodian through
the assistance of the Ratters, slid down
from the stern of the transport on a tugs
flagpole. Even there he beat us on the
honor end of it. The pole broke and he
descended in a most sensational manner
right in the midst of a circle of ladies'
seated on the tugs deck. The tug at
once steamed off and we were again free
men.
Honig and myself were much relieved at
our escape. but we could not help wishing
we had chosen the fagpole.

turned, and just then Henry realized
that something had happened, and, in
the vernacular of the front, got a wig

bounds and got abreast of the bull in
two more. Then he got a left hook on
the brute's spreading horns and trot-

a place where, three or four paving
stones being missing, there was a
chance to stick his toes into terra

for the queer craft he was trying to
get command of. He didn't stick them
quite far enough, however, for the ami

Henry was more successful He didn't

pretty near cracking it, and for few

spirited tug-of-war between man and
beast. during which bets were even
among the wildly interested onlookers.

Privileged sisters and sweethearts in

the backs of their heroes chairs or sat

As matter of fact, the whole evening
was passed in hailing newspaper boats

outside the east nave again. Many boys
had left their best beloved outside the
bars when they went in to a breakfast
that couldn't quite make up even by its
grooming tables for the attractive outside.
There was a long blessed hour for nice
little leave-takings-leav that
meant how-dye-do again in no time, and

The boys looked as placid and jovial
