checks on local banks, signing the

and his work was we'll executed. He
would present the checks In person.

The Crop Situation,

In conversation with the farmers
and st csmsn from the different parts
of the county who are here attending
court his week we learn that the stu
ton throughout the county is very
encouraging Notwithstanding the fact
that the drouth continues. Water Is
becoming quite scarce Ia some locali-
ties and q great many farmers are
hauling, but they say the prospects
are very bright for splendid crop
this year. To bear out our assertion
that everything is in good condition,
the farmers with whom we haye con-
versed with in the past few days tell
US that wheat is an excellent shape.
1t was not injured to any great extent
by the freeze of some weeks ago.
The light rains which fell before and
after the freeze has helped the young
plant materially and it looks fresh and
healthy and is growing nicely. The
ground is said to be in excellent con-
dition, contains great deal of moist
ure and plows nicely. Farmers say
that the ground is being put In splen-
did shape for planting. This part of
Texas has been dry before and things
looked little gloomy, but good kind
providence has never yet failed to
send refreshing showers to this goodly
land in time to make living for man
and beast that dwell therein. There
fore, let us not despair, say our pray
ers, do our whole duty and trust to
MN who doeth all things well, and
the good citizens of Ellis county will
live to be as prosperous asany people.

STILL, BELIEVES IN WHITE,

Rugby Optimist: Governor White
is being censured by some of the state
press for not attending the anti-merger
convention at Helena, Montana, last
week. Judging from the reported
business done by the governors and at
torneys general our governor did not
do so badly in staying at home. OF
course a great deal of noise is being
made and some of our contemporaries
are sure Governor White is owned body
and soul by the corporations-which
helps prove that he is sensible and that
those making the noise with their
mouths are long on mouth. We pre-
dict that when the time comes for &C
ton, when it is possible to do real
good, Governor White will be found
right with the people We can't get
over the belief that these people who
vociferate so vehemently are unwise
and only Infatuated with the noise
made by their "~vociferator." 1t takes
more than noise to scare the railroads
and persistent, quiet work will be less
liable to put the railroad interests on
their guard than all this fuss and
feathers. Then again. If the voters
would attend to their own affairs and
see to it that no corporation CRATER
got into Office they would not now be
wondering what it all means.

THE MURPHY CASE.

Among the cases to be tried at the
term of the U. S. court at Bismarck in
March is that against Mark Murphy,
indicted for embezzlement at Fargo.
Murphy was formerly revenue agent of
the government at Portal.
Three of the indictments are for m
bezzlement, and the fourth is for as
slstlng n j.. A. Davis, a Montana
ranchman. in smuggling a herd of cat
tie into this country from Canada. The
friends of Murphy claim that he is the
victim OF circumstances only. All the
indictments are in connection with the
same deal, i. e., the entrance of some
cattle by Davis. It is said that the
cattle were admitted in violation of the
law, inasmuch as the duty was not col
lected at the time the cattle were en-
tered. 1t is further claimed, however,
that Murphy had no bad intent at the
time, and that it wa not his intent at
any time to defraud the government
" ohJ "OAOJ, dAu ludL ne let DdV1S
enter the cattle at the time as a mat
ter of accommodation only, intending
to collect the money at a later date
which in fact was done, and the money
was duly turned over to the govern.
ment. ri
1t is said that ann of doing bus.
mess has been followed by other col.
lectors from time to time to accommo
date the ranchmen, and that Murph,
was simply made an example of by tn.
special representative Of the United
States treasury department. 1t is alst
claimed that Murphy misconstrued thu
instructions that govern his actions
and that everything will be satisfac
torily explained when the proper tim,
comes.

DIFFERENCES in FoGs.
lea Mist and London Gloom Have
Nothing In Common.

Sea Mist and London Gloom Have
Nothing In Common.
The fog Of London and the. fog Of
the sea alike discompose traffic, and
omnibuses and steamships alike have
had to lay to for safety. But while
the London fog gets into your inmost
room and battles even the electric light
though the candle comes out trium-
plant curiously-the densest fog at
sea does not disturb the saloon or the
stateroom. Why is that?
The word fog has not been traced
further back than the sixteenth cen
fury, but the thing was known in the
early years of the fourteenth. The
commons, with the prelates and mobiles
visiting London for the parliaments
and on other occasions, united to peti-
ton Edward I. to compel the burning
only Of dry wood and charcoal, as the
growing use Of sea coal corrupted the
air with it's stink and smoke, to the
great prejudice and detriment Of
health. In 1906 the king prohibited
the use of coal. Heavy ransom and
fines were inflicted for d~isobedience.
In the case of recalcitrant brewers, dy-
ers and other artiicers the furnaces
and kilns were destroyed. But the re.
striction was evidently removed, for in
1908 $250-probably equal to about 81.
900 now-was paid from the exchequel
for wood and coal for the coronation
Of Edward II.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Now there come rumors of all kinds
with reference to railroad extensions
to Bismarck. The 500 road is an
nounced to come from Braddock in the
spring-certainly this time-lnd in ad-
dition to that the Milwaukee is said
to be considering an extension of it's
lines up from Aberdeen. With roads
coming up from the southeast and
others being built to the north, the
day of Bismarck's prominence as a
railroad center is close at hand.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

Il have noticed that the sale on

lets is almost invariably to those who

Weber, a prominent druggist of Cas-

dalton could any medicine have than
for people to call for it when again in

when you feel dull after eating, when
you have a bad taste in your mouth
feel bilious, have no appetite or when

are certain to be delighted with the
