This COW is a special purpose nipple

her is turned toward the udder. She
knows not how to store it over her

she does that profitably for her owner,

the ore washer sprung a leak last

more than five hundred tons of
ore in the stock house by the end
of the week, as more than fifty
tons were washed the first day
and that will be at least doubled
when everything gets into proper
working order. The washers at
the old banks will be put to work

FERTILIZER FACTORY
BURNED.
Big Fire at an Early Hour
Tuesday Morning, Causes
Heavy Loss.

One of the largest and most
disastrous conf1agration that
has occurred in this vicinity for
a number of years, took place at
an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing, and considering the disad
vantageous circumstances under
which the fireman labOred, their
work was cOmmendable.
The property burned was the
large factory and warehouse of
the Ramsburg Fertilizer Factory,
situated on the b. s. D. Railroad.
OH the outskirts of this city.
The alarm was sounded at 800
a. M, and it was some time before
the apparatus reached the scene.
Then it was discovered that only
one engine could do any work,
as the nearest fire plug was at
the Frederick Brick Works, some
distance away. Hose was Dor
rowed from the different compan
les and in that way enough was
obtained to reach the fire.
The building was Of wood and
was highly intiammable, although
the contents did not partake OF
this nature. 1t is thought that
much of the stored fertilizer will
be saved, as the fire had no effect
upon it; water alone being able
to render it worthless.
The entire structure. except the
brick walls, was destroyed togeth.
er with machinery, etc., which
will put the loss at about $50, 900,
partly covered by insurance.
Operations will not be stopped by
the fire, but temporary quarters
will be erected and work resumed,
as this is the busy season and
many orders are on file.

Beating the Railroads.

There was man III town yesterday
who told of new scheme he has just
worked to beat a railroad. GA friend
and myself wanted to come from Oma-
ha to Kansas City. He said to me:
You buy you ticket only to the
first station and will show you good
trick bought the ticket, as re-
ques:ed, while my friend bought a
ticket for the full distance at the reru-
lar fare. We took seat together in
the train. The conductor came around
took up the tickets and put punched
train check in my friends hat, indi-
eating that he was ticketed through to
Kansas City. When the conductor
got out Of sight my friend took his
knife and split the card. He put half
into my hat and the other into his
own. Both splits looked like regu-
lar check, and came right on through
without paying any more fare. We
divided the saving, which was more
than 80 each.'

good when used in moderation by thin,
weak and nervous women. But the
trouble is that once woman learns to
like stimulant Of any kind she can
not be satisfied by sticking to the
least harmful one. She wants to sam.
pie them all, and usually winds up by
preferring the one which will do her
system the most harm in the shortest
time.
So common is drinking among wo-
men now that many ostensibly reputa-
bic, but unscrupulously, people make
specially of catering to it. For in
stance, in .Iore than ore fine candy
store you can buy sugared grapes,
cherries, etc., filled with brandy or
cordials. These are intended for use
at the theatre. The men go out be-
tween the acts to get drinks, but the
women carry theirs with them 10 can
died fruits. It's much more conyon-
lent than crowding in and out as the
men do, though if they progress as
rapidly in the drink habit the next
five years as they have in the past
five, we may soon expect to see men
and women going out together between
the acts and sauntering up to the bar
arm in arm.
