Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Ross, formerly
of this city, but now of Kansas City,
are the proud parents of daughter.
May, the year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. ]. e. Hull. 111h South Will
lard street, had the misfortune Sunday
to have her foot and shoulders quite
badly scalde1 in attempting to carry
tea-kettle full of hot water from the
stove to the basin, she dropped the
kettle and in trying to jump out of the
way slipped and fell, the hot water
rushing out of the tea-kettle all over
her foot, and splashed upon her body.
Her parents ran to her assistance and
made the little sufferer as comfortable
as possible.

An eagle stood fur liberty, freedom and

glorious republic. Its wings sheltered

its soft cooin lulled the infant to sleep,

BIG CATTLE SALE.
The c. A. Saunders Cattle Sale Will
Attract May Buyers.

The G. A. Saunders Cattle Sale Will
Attract May Buyers.
The Saunders sale of Shorthorn cat
tie will take place at the Greeley Stock
Farm near Manila on February 9TH
sixty -one head of registered shorthorn
cattle will be sold under the hammer
and this presents possibly the best op,
portunity of the year for the farmers Of
Crawford county to get fine stock for
their herds at reasonable prices.
Twenty five head of bulls are among
the lot and as they are all by valuable
sires they present tempting bargains to,
the progressive farmer. Thlrty-siX
COWS and heifers will also be offered at
the sale and it may be we'll believed
that they will find ready buyers, The
Shorthorn is a valuable breed for the
average farmer, as they are good both
as beef producers and for milk and
dairy purposes. 1t is to be hoped that
the farmers of the county will be
on hanG and not allow these animals to
be sold outside of the county. There
has been much improvement in the
herds of the county during the past few
years, and the farmers who have paid
out the most money for the improve
ment Of their herds are the ones who
have made the most money. Last fall
in speaking of Nicholson Bros poultry
packing establishment, we mentioned,
the fact, hat the average weight OF the
poultry of the county had been raised
more than pound by attention to-
breeding and by better care l. his is
the same only on larger scale, of cat
tie. 1t costs no more to raise a good
animal than a scrub, and when the start
is once made for good herd the results
are more satisfactory from every stand
point. At the big Manila sale, twelve
fire horses will be offered and these too
are Of blooded stock and well worth
the attention of the farmers If you
wish a catalogue of the sale, one will
be sent you upon application to the
proprietor of the herd, Mr. G A. Saun
ders of Manila. The sale will be held
in large well-heated tent and the
weather will cut no ice with it. Mr.
Saunders makes the following announce
ment in connection with his sale and it
shows him to be as generous as he is
enterprising:
Il will donate the proceeds of the
sale Of Carrie, Rose of Sharon heifer,

Judge Gear has already released in
