Took His Own Life.

Last Thursday evening just after sup
per all Webster people We're shocked by
the news that Martin w. Fritts of Wan
bay had just committed suicide. The
deceased was given to dependency at
times and was taken with one of these
spells last Thursday afternoon, going TO
his home at supper time he took off his
coat, stepped into his own room and
placed a revolver TO his right temple
firing one shot resulting in instant death.
Mr.. Fritts was one of the old timers of
this county and was highly respected by
a large number of friends made in his
twenty years or more of residence. He
leaves q wife, a daughter and a son to
mourn his loss. The funeral occurred at
Waubay Saturday and the remains were
inferred in Waubay cemetery.

Many farmers are thinking Of turn
ing their cows dry. Some have begun
to dc so already, perhaps in order that
they may winter them more cheaply.
says +. E. Uhl in Kansas Farmer.
Should this be done? The answer to
this question depends upon the circum-
stances. Many Kansas COWS can no
doubt be turned dry with profit TO their
owners. but II would be folly 10 dry up
all of them. The best COW, the young.
promising heifer. should not share the
fate OF her beefy sisters.
Let US note the cows that may yield
better returns from eating only coarse
roughness. Those that are unproiita-
bic ut best. yielding less than enough
to pay for feed and care In an ordinary
year. the slow and hard mixer, nay as
well eat ut the second table unless they
have lately or soon will come fresh.
The fairly good COW could be dried off
In many cases after she has given the
most OF her flow for the year. The
beefy cow must certainly take a back
seat.
There are some cows. however. which
should have the best, and these are the
best cows. together with the heifers.
which may become best cows. Cows
which usually pay well for feed aud
care should be well fed even at some
sacrifice. especially IL they are fresh
late In summer or fall.

Champion Swimming Dog,

To be in the water all the time Is the delight of Bruno, the smooth-coated collie owned by a Boston man. As a swimmer he has not met his equal in the canine family. He was born in Waltham in 1893 and weighs about fifty pounds.
 He has already competed in eleven races against spaniels, collies, New. foundlands, settlers and bulldogs and has never been defeated.
 Not only is Bruno fast and long dis tance swimmer, says the Boston Globe, but he enjoys jumping into the water from places twenty-five or thirty feet high.
 A number of times each day he leaves his owners house unattended and goes to the West Boston bridge, from where he jumps into the water After swimming around awhile he will go to one of the boathouse floats, climb out of the water and return home.
