some find. being the skeleton bones of u
human hand and forearm, and from a

Of an Indian female. Mr. Hughes also
picked up q skull near by but the. en-
Ibedded hand was exposed to view by the

BETTER START RIGHT.

James Keyser and al. Stimson were
in Washburn from Oliver county satur-
day. Mr.. Keysef is the mail contractor
OH the Hanasrsand Stanton route and
his business insNashDurn was to look up
type setter with u knowledge of the
German alphabet and tongue to work on
the new paper in that language about to
be started in Krem, Mercer county. The
new venture appears to be county
officers" paper engineered to entrench
those gentlemen elected on the Republi-
can ticket two years ago but have now
''slumped" to the Wipperman ticket as
per program-and nominated on the
democratic county ticket for the same
position they are now holding. In a
county where but third Of the voters
are Of the German nationality the Leader
cannot see the wisdom Of trying to es-
tahlish an official paper in the German
language paramount principally be-
cause members Of that nationality
may have the temporary direction OF
county affairs. The Leader would adj
wise on different lines. 1t would advise
the citizens Of Krem and vicinity to Sc
cure good sensible teachers who talk
United States and put them in charge
Of the schools there and make good wide
awake and enterprising Yankees of the
the rising generation and not have them
handicapped bv ignorance of the Ian
guage of their nativity for Americans
they are born il not bred. Establish and
subscribe for a carefully edited news
paper in English, which we all know is
now and will be the universal language
in every State of this American Union
Encourage the young people to read the
papers, and good citizanship is bound to
result from training along these lines.

ANOTHER BAD BURN OUT.

Word came. down Saturday from the
Douglass river that a prairie fire there
by accidental carelessness on the part
Of some OF his haynlakers caused the
destruction of Ranchman Neals entire
hay crop amounting to about three hum
dred tens Of nicely cured hay. As hay
getting is difficult this season the loss-o of
this, provender at this time is almost
irreparable. About twenty miles further
up tie Douglass is some hay coulees in
the hills, and to that point Mt. Neal has
directed his crew, who will scrape up all
the hay they can before frost oYertakes
them.

The orders to the conductors of the

When the trains met day was just

that the engineers could not see more
than 100 yards ahead. The trains
were to have passed at Sand Lake,
two miles south of Pierson, at ASP

Use that is interesting to tenant

Use that is interesting to tenants
has been decided in a New York court.
A man rented apartments for his fam
lily at a leading hotel under an oral
agreement to keep them for a year at
$4,000. Soon after there was an cpl
demic of /: ,arlet fever among the fam
lilies occupying different parts of the
building, and, becoming alarmed, this
tenant and his family left, saying that
the conditions endangered their lives.
The hotel company brought suit to re-
cover the rental for the unexpired
term, and got a verdict for $4,000. The
Court held that as the landlord was
not negligent, but took every precau-
ton suggested by the Board of Health,
there vas no eviction. either actual or
constructive, and, therefore, the rent
must be paid.
