Farmers F Trust.

james Butler grain dealer has ap-
preached members of the Independent
Farmers elevator company at Benedict
with view to forming m extensive
farmers trust whereby tho farmers
will secure higher prices for their grain,
says York dispatch.
Mr. Butler has n scheme to form 10
combination of farmers independent
elevator companies, whereby 800 inde-
pendent farmers grain elevators will
agree to make all their consgnments
to him, making combination of ele.
vators in the corn and hard winter
wheat belt that will be competitors to
the Peavy line of 400 elevators. The
farmers gave good attention to the nd.
dress OF Mr. Butlor, but took no vote.
In talking OF tho matter some of the
farmers point ont that if all the con-
signmonts were made to Mr.. Butler he
would be one of the largest grain
brokers in the country. II Mr. Butler's
plan had been more of tho "uutual
b'i'iN blhtI ~ 10 DtIltNtd tllt thew
would have been ready to have taken
some action.
Farmers Of Yo,k county believe that
the independent elevator will be the
means of all the 'rrmcrs in this county
securing mt least . cents more n bushel
for their grain h. rcafter. After con.
siderable delay they have just completed
the elevator at Benedict and the Bur-
lington railroad has notified them that
1t will build n switch and side track
without charge and grant them equal
favors with other customers.
The farmers of York county charge
that there it grain pool in York
county and that each day n price is
agreed upon. II this is true the one
elevator in Benedict will probably make
n big change in pool prices and the ele-
vator property in Yo,k county which
has been selling for five times actual
worth will depreciate to its actual value.

Wayne Republican: Last Friday
night thief or thieves entered the barn
of f. H. Wright, southwest of Wayne,
helped himself to horse, buggy, har-
ness and robe and left for parts un-
known. In the morning Mr. Wright
discovered his loss, and reported IL to
Sheriff Mears. About eleven o'clock
Saturday they struck the trail, being able
to follow the horse owing to the peculiar.
ity Of its hoof, making IN imprint in the
ground, and followed it to Harrington.
From there by inquiring, they kept
track of II to ST James where the horse
was fed at Frank = livery stable As
Sheriff Mears was obliged to return ow.
ing to n sale, constable of Ceder
county accompanied Mr.. Wright to
1ankton, where the horse and buggy
were found The proprietor of the barn
told Mr.. Wright that the man who
drove the horse to the barn stated he
was going out on the night freight for
Sioux City and would return in the
morning. but he failed to show up and
no trace of him was found.
BY the grazing of the Thirteenth
street rond south to the river, the
county has done something of benefit to
the city that the city government has
been importuned to do for years, but
without effect. A broad, handsome @
driveway has been constructed from
the corporation line two miles south, in
the grading of which it was necessary
to remove the earth from bitches on the
sides of the road. These will average
four feet deep and six feet wide, and az
the road is built on decided down
grade, they will carry away an i'm.
mense volume of water. No better
highway Is to be found in this section
of the county than the one Just com
pleted, whereas before work was com.
menced on it this was one of the worst
pieces OF road in the county. In some
places, particularly near the U. p.
railroad track, it was found nee.
essary to fill several feet, and the re.
suit makes a very satisfactory drive.
way While the road itself will be
convenience to the travelling
public that will be appreciated, the
bitches at the side will prove of even
greater advantage as water ways for the
Corporation gluch product. 1t is not
believed that they will care for all the
water that comes down that much
abused sluice, but that they will be of
material help cannot be gainsaid.
Commissioner Winter is to be congratu-
lated upon the accomplishment of
piece Of work that will prove as bene. !!
fetal as this.

Ono Woe OF n s..m.tr...

Women who sew in families have
troubles Of their own. Sometimes It
Is one thing that bothers them and
then again 1t is something else. Most
often It is the machine.
Its mighty funny" said a lean.
fingered dressmaker, why people who
have money enough to buy clothes that
would make Solomon turn green can.
not afford decent machines for their
home dressmakers to sew on. It's
disgusting to see the different kinds
of old rattletraps we are asked TO
work with In many houses. where hun.
dred dollar bills are apparently n
superfiuity. I've been sewing for the
past ten years, and I fiatter myself
that l am an expert on machine lore
but with all my knowledge FREQUENT
ly run across prehistoric relics that get
the best of me.
Nobody need tell me that Mr.. Elias
Howe invented the sewing machine
in 1S43-or some such year. He didn't
do anything Of the kind. He may
have studied out an improvement on
the original. but I'm positive that
there were crude products turned out
several hundred years ago. and I am
asked to work on them every day.
These old heirlooms have the funniest
bobbins and shuttles and threading ar.
rangements imaginable, and they
rumble and rattle like a thrashing ma.

to get up full steam In order to finish
n piece Of work on time, wonder
why the police don't come in and ar.
rest me for disturbing the peace. a

Collars and Stocks.

The collars and stocks of the mo-
ment are pretty, fanciful things. and
some of them are very sensible and
practical. Many types Of women look
well in folded stocks and collars COM
bined. No longer are these made in
hard, manly ducks, but in soft, white
spotted or plain oriental satins. AL.
ways pretty and neat is the little white
turnover muslin collar with a stock
or bow Of black silk or MORE. The
sailor and pointed collars have by no
means disappeared, and they are EN-.
inently suited to people who require
widening on the shoulders. They are
not so large as of yore, and as the
sleeves get fuller they will probably
disappear.
