A Most Liberal Offer.

All our farmer readers should take
advantage of the Unprecedented
clubbing offer we this year make,
which includes, with this paper, the
Iowa Homestead, its special Farm
ers' Institute Editions and the Poul-
try Farmer. These three publica-
tons are the best of their class and
should be in every farm home. To
them we add, for local, county and
general news, our own paper and
make the price of the four one year
only $14O. Never before was so much
superior reading matter offered for
so small an amount of money. The
three papers named, which we club
with our own, are we'll known
throughout the west and commend
themselves to the readers favorable
attention upon mere mention. The
Iowa Homestead is the great agri-
cultural and live stock paper of the
west; The Poultry Farmer is the
most practical poultry paper for the
farmer, while The Special Farmers
Institute Editions are the most
practical publications for the pro-
motion of good farming ever pub
lished. Take advantage of this great
offer, as it will hold good for a short
time only. Samples of these papers
may be examined by calling at this
office

JOY ara happiness.
A queer thing happened to Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Delahoyde, at their
home on north Park street, in this
city, one day last week. Mrs. Della
hoyde had put the wash water on to
heat and Fred, like dutiful hus-
band should, was preparing to
work the washing machine and
make the clothes look snowy-white,
and pretty soon he said to his wife:
| My, but | feel queer, my head is
just buzzing around and l believe |
will go lie down for a few moments
until the wash water get little hot
ter" and suiting the action of his
words he sought his couch. No
sooner had Fred retired than his
wife was attacked in similar man
ner, and started for her bed room
but fell PROSTATE to the floor before
reaching the room. Pretty soon
Fred recovered and upon coming
out into the room and smelling a
peculiar odor he hastily shut off the
fire in the gasoline stove, then quick
| ly opening the doors and windows
when it was discovered that it was
escaping gas that had affected them
SO strangely. They soon recovered
and then Fred went on and finished
the washing.
They had a dancing party out at
the Fred Soble home north West of
Halnlin one night this week and
while on the way home mishap
which resulted very seriously for
Mr.. oe Donahue, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Donahue, of West Extra.
They were rolling along homeward
bound and when turning a sharp
angle in the road the wagon first
Slowed around then tipped

good sense of the horses which, as
