IN FOSSIL TOWN.

| II was d SEOup VI CiliLSHS
| Discussed the towns affairs;
| And some were young, some not so
young,
| And some Of hoary hairs;
But all discussed with emphasis
| 1t was a way Of theirs.
And some were rich, and some were
| poor,
And some Of high degree;
But all concurred upon one point
I With perfect harmony,
1T was the very deadest town
That ever they did see.
And also this: "Now, what we need,
| AS every man doth know,
Is some bold soul to take the lead
And to the others show
Some plan or other by the which
To make the old town grow.
It was a happy day, they said,
| That brought all to this mind;
The trouble heretofore had been
| That one could never find
A helping hand for any scheme
To which he was inclined.
For one pulled this way, one pulled
| that,
Each with a stubborn will;
And all the others did the same
| On varying lines. until
The net result was always that
| The old town stood stock still.
Now this would all be changed, they
| said,
And all would pull in line;
And things would move and things
w'd hum
And croakers cease to whine,
When everybody pulled his best
| And all should pull in line.
Now what was needed, only, was
| Some enterprising man
To take the lead and show the rest
Some practicable plan
On which all parties could agree
Before the work began.
Then up spake one, and he was sure
He knew the very scheme;
It was a new railroad, he said,
The boomers favorite theme.
The others all sat down on him;
1T was an idle dream"
Another spoke of water works,
With eloquence and power;
Another Of a big hotel
For tourists on the tour;
One thought it might be we'll to try
A mill Tor mining HOUR.
A factory, and a bleachery,
Excited some debate;
An iron works. a paper mill,
Had each its advocate;
A cannery, pottery
ALL shared the common fate.
! A cotton MILL trolley line,
A turnpike broad and long,
Were each proposed and each pooh
poohed
In chorus loud and strong.
They cost too much; no scheme would
"go"
If 1t were started wrong.
A dirtroad, then? A knitting mill?
A creamery, somewhere?
A grist mill? A brick kiln?
The meeting didn't care
To waste it's time and money
On any cheap affair.
Each speaker had his own idea
And argued 1t with vim;
The others couldn't see it,
And thought it's promise dim.
AS each in turn rose up and spoke
The others went for him.
The group adjourned; and then
again,
With unanimitee,
And exc with scorn, day after day,
All spoke their minds so Free
1T was the very deadest town
That every they did see!"

Fair and Carnival will be held dur
ing the week of October 1918. The
weather promises to be excellent
which insures wonderfully sue
cessful celebration. The free at
fractions are better than have ever

famous acts known to the amuse-
ment world. Excellent side shows
will be here. Everything will be
high grade. Order and good be-
havior will be enforced while every
liberty tor good time will be ex-
tended to all visitors. The citizens
Of Atlantic urge all the people to
visit the carnival. It will be full of
fun and .frolic. The decorations,
the music, the free shows and the
side shows will eclipse anything
ever attempted in THE section Of
the country. Come every day.
There will be excursion rates one
and one third fare for the round
trip and special trains. The pro-
gram will begin early and last un-
til late. Experience has taught the
managers of the fair how to make

assurance is given that it will be
the best the citizens of this section
have ever seen.

C. A. Marlin, manager for the
Iowa Land Co., at Butler, Missouri,
departed Tuesday with nearly car
load of men bound for that place.
He has been in the business but
short time but has thousands of
acres listed and has some good bar
gains that are sure to make money
for those who invest. The land
there is, advancing steadily in price.
Northern capital and enterprise are
fast pouring that way and the
climate, soil condition and near
ness to market all combine to make
it the homeseekers paradise. In
vestors too are hocking there and
the advance in price is about in
proportion to what it was here
months ago. Those who are getting
in on the ground floor are making
money fast. Quite number from
Audubon county were among those
who went down there and will
doubtless add their names to those
from here who have already pur-
chased.

| Glen McCuen started work on his
new restaurant building Saturday. 1t
is just east of the John Rutherford
store and just across the street from
Charles Wilde's residence. The build
ing is 30x30 in size and will be credit
to the town of Ross. Chas. Huffman
and Lu Beers are assisting with the
carpenter work. Glen expects to put
in full line of candies, gum, cigars,
tobacco, and such things that are us
ually kept in a first-class restaurant.
He will retail meat during the winter
and next summer will put a wagon on
the road. This will be quite an addi-
| ton to Ross as it will be great con-
venience to the farmers when hauling
in their grain, as they will be able to
buy hot coffee or lunch at any time,
during the day. Glen will make
good restaurant man and will keep
everything in good shape. Now if Ross
had barber shop and bank all lines
of business would be represented and
in short time both these lines will be
taken up in the city.

A Reception.

Tuesday evening at the pleasant
home of John Rutherford in Ross, the
members and friends of the Methodist
church, of which Rev. Weyrauch is
pastor, gave one of the largest recep-
tions ever held in the community to
him and his bride. About sixty peo-
pie assembled with baskets filled with
palatable edibles which when spread
made a feast that would please the
most fastidious. The friends and
neighbors chatted and made merry I'M
til finally the flood gates of song were
opened and familiar pieces were sung
by all. At the close the pastor and his
bride were presented with purse of
about fifteen dollars and with hearts
made more loyal by the gathering.

QUEEN is VERY LOW AGAIN.
Her Physicians Hold a Consultation,
but Issue No Bulletin.

THE HAGUE, May 7.-Advices re.
ceived here from Castle Loo, dated 1
o'clock this morning, declare that
Queen Wilhelmina's condition again
excites grave anxiety. Another con-
sultation of the queens doctors was
held at II o'clock last night. The re-
suit of this consultation is not known.
Extreme secrecy is maintained as to
the contents of the kilograms dis
patched from Loo palace.
This and other measures are be-
Iieved to indicate that the condition
of her majesty is much graver than
appears from the official bulletins. 1t
is said the queen is so weak that
she has been unable to take any nour.
ishment since last Saturday.

COPELAND CASE GOES TO JURY.
Specialists Testify to the Belief that
Accused Was Insane.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 9.-The
case of Ned Hartley Copeland, for
merly Of Omaha, who killed A. c.
Rogers of st. Joseph on a train near
Wamsutter last summer, was given
to the jury late tonight after lengthy
arguments by the prosecution and
defense. Early in the trial the de-
Tense admitted everything set up by
the prosecution and the case practic-
ally developed upon the question Of
the sanity of the accused. Eminent
physicians from Denver, Rawlins,
Rock Springs and the superintendent
of the state insane asylum testified
that they believed Copeland was in
sane at the time the deed was com
mitted. DR.. McGhee of Rawlins, who
RAJ on the train with Copeland when
the shooting occurred, said he
thought Copeland was drunk. This
evidence seemed to have little weight
with the jury and the belief is gen
eral that Copeland will be found in
sane and committed to the state asy-
lum,
