OLMITZ NEWS.
By sour Special. {"

Our good Rev. Father Huna has
ordered day of prayer for rain on
last Monday, aud our pious sisters and
brethren responded freely. But just
look at the towering clouds around us
and draw your own conclusions.
II. Nordman has just returned from
a trip to Cripple Creek, Colo, and
reports everything booming. If We
can judge by the magpie larks be
brought along, their talk certainly
ought to convince any body.
It's peculiar how dull Olmitz was
last week. and still there is enough
news to fill any newspaper. But we
will wait for developments.
A. E Taylor reports fine banking
business, but still he says there il
plenty of time to do more work in.
The people do not know yet that we
have q real State Bank.
Why not advertise?-ED. Dem.
An item in our last news column
went astray, but brought forth good
fruit, and showed at least the power
behind the throne and scenes.
Albert is going to give Olmitz the
sistsrly hand, as all their joints are
said to be closed; but-wait.

ABOUT THE IDEAL EDITOR.

You hear talk of the ''ideal
newspaper" 1t is, says an ex-
change, like the flower that never
withers, the bird that never
alights, the land where sunlight
never fades-it only exists in the
mind of the sucker whom we are
told the elements consume. Writ
ing from the standpoint of a
country editor, if you have ever
been in his shoes, you know he
is the repository of the secrets OF
the community, none Of which he
has ever divulged. He mustpub-
lish a paper chuck full of local
news, whether anything happens
or not. His judicial mind must
be far superior to the district
Judge, and give him pointers in
instructing the jury. He must
discourse with equal fuency upon
the silver question and Farmer
Jones' Jersey calf, china paint
ing and Poland-China pigs, pre-
served peaches and the persever-
ance of saints, foreign wars and
local strikes, justification by
faith and justification by type,
the doctrine of election, the cleo
ton returns, the doings of the
last synod and the details Of
prize fights. The receipts OF
church socials and the squabble
in the town council must be
equally familiar to the versatile
mind.
With all this he must wait or
the delinquent subscribers, dis
count the bill of the patent med
icine fakes, stand off his wash
bill, always go well dressed, pay
his printer on Saturday night
whether a cent has come in OF
not; write free puffs, teach the
city administration how to rur

500 a year for printing the pro
ceedings-when it is worth $3.50

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The many thousands of men
who are seeking a chance to get
a slice of Uncle Sans domain at
the coming opening of the last OF
the Indian lands, should be an
abject lesson to our government.
Where will our people go next
for homes? Does it not seem
that the government should turn
immediate and earnest attention
to means by which the semi-arid
sections of our country can be
made agriculturally productive?
Can that be done more surely or
more quickly than by conserving
the storm waters that annually
flow to the Gulf of Mexico and
into the ocean. Does anyone Of
Judgment dispute the statement
that if half the millions ofdollars
that are spent by the govern
ment annually to build dykes
and ietties, to dredge and drain
the lower Mississippi were expen-
ded in building reservoirs, canals
and viaducts to store the storm
waters of the western tributar-
les to the Mississippi, there
would be not only no more over
flowing of the lower Mississippi,
but the semi-arid localities where
such reservoirs and canals were
built would become habitable
and productive, and millions OF
acres of land now idle and worth
less.could be made to blossom as
the rose by the industry OF man.
Even right here in Barton
county the government could
create a storage basin that
would, by evaporation and the
natural attraction of moisture
possessed by large bodies Of
water, double the productiveness
of lands for many miles around
and make homes and occupation
for thousands of people.
A liberal appropriation has al
ready been made by congress for
the purpose of surveys and in
vestigation on this line. Let it
not stop at that; but let there be
practical, patriotic, human
itarian movement towards a
providing of homes and occupa-
tion for the millions of our peo-
pie who are willing to become
producers of something other
than strikes and riots, wars and
destruction. The expansionists
idea of exploiting foreign lands
may be giving new opportunities
for capital; but some earnest
honest attention to the acknow.
lodged situation in our own
land would be humane, patriotic
and sensible.

neither of which we can find when in
a hurry. The proposal may answer,
however, under certain conditions.
The auxiliary track consists of three
sections. The first section is inclined
one way, the middle section horizontal
the third section inclined the other
way. When the train approaches the
motor starts on its inclined path with
increasing speed. The auxiliary track
Is parallel to the main line and may be
situated between the two lines. When
both trains have attained equal speed
a bridge is lowered from on of the
train carriages, by preference the last.
onto the long motor car. The passen-
ger may then step over and have his
luggage thrown after him. On the
third inclined section the motor comes
to rest again. The auxiliary track
would have a length of say half a
mile. II the main line is itself inclin-
ed in the opposite way, so that the
train passes over the middle section
with reduced speed, all the better.

During the long run of Hearts Ara
Trumps' at the Drury Lane thsater,
in London, it became quite a fad with
society people to go on with the "su-

the run Of the play at the Garden thea

Langtry startled her friends by sitting

fad threatens to become epidemic

of the thing, and some of the boys have
gone SO far as to even offer to pay
for the privilege. Several young fl
lows stopped a number of the regular
"supers" at the stage entrance the
other night and purchased from them
their tickets, which entitle them to
admission to the stage and on which
they get their money at the end of the
week. Andrew Mack, whose company

Bacillus of Grip.

Peruna not only cures the grip but prevents it.
Taken in time thousands of lives will be saved in this present ei-
demic.
Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply # Pc
runa at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy NAV be
exhausted by the enormous demand for il.
It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip at
tacks the household.
1t has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of
national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to
Peruna as a remedy for la grippe:
Congressman Howard, of Alabama. saws: III have taken Peruna
for the grip and recommend it a n excellent remedy to all fellow
sufferers"
Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: 81 find Peruna to be
an excellent remedy for the grip. / have used it in my family and
they all join me in recommending it."
miss Francis M Anderson, Of Washington, D. G: daughter of Judge
Anderson. of Virginia, says: 81 was taken very ill with the grip. /
look Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week"
Mrs Harnette A. S. Marsh. President Of the Womans Benevolent
Association of Chicago, writes: 81 suffered with grip seven weeks.
Nothing helned me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks l was fully
~estored. Shall never be without it again"
At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay
indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every heur) until
the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sick
ness and perhaps fatal results.
