Commencing with the first
week in November the Courier
will discard tits patent fnnards"
and will print four pages all at
home. We do this because we
have become tired of buying out
St. Paul patent houses and the
Northern Pacific express COM
pany. Our subscribers will get
all the home news, but will miss
the opportunity to read the con-
sumption cure, cascarets, and
other patent medicine ads. which
have always occupied most of
our inside pages and for which
we have received no benefit.

SEETHING FIRE
 SWEEPS PRAIRIE
District 100 Miles Long and 40 Miles Wide Clear
 ed by Flames

Hannis, Neb., April 27.-For the last three deys the Sand Hills of this sec tion of the State has been a seething sea of fire. Thursday lightning set fire to the range in several places. It first got under headway in Spring and Blackboard valleys and with a heavy southeast wind one head of the fire was driven to Bur lington road three miles east of Whit man. A change of wind at this time car ried it south into the best cattle district of Grant and McPherson Counties.
 A second branch continued nearly thirty miles in a westerly course. and has not vet been put out Another branch of the fire swept the Brown. Lee and Big Creek valleys All the ranchmen have been un- able thus far to check the flames.
 A district of about 100 miles in length and from ten to forty miles in width has been totally swept of hay. and the prairie grass destroyed.y that for month to come would have served as the only food for cattle It is impossible to estimate the damage that has been done. Many ranch men have no feed for their cattle, and It is thought that heavy loss of stock will be the consequence.
