About the most unfair argument
aud the one most being used by
the adherents of the Repub- Demo
combination, is that the indepen
dent ticket is the tool of the old
board of Supervisors. A glance
at the personnel of the ticket puts
that absurd plea to complete dis
credit. We look for strict justice
to be insisted on by the new board
it Selleck aud lTitzgibbon are
elected, but will admit that they
may be able to bring offenders to
time without quite SO many at
torneys being called in to assist.
They will doubtless also insist on
knowing what it is going to cost
the county for legal services.
Those candidates are like the
man from Missouri, they will in
sist on "being shown" when they
close contracts, and not leave them
open at the biggest end. Wood

but it is treated by him in the
proper jocular spirit. Many years
ago ID NJ and Bob Harris we're
running a newspaper at Atlantic.

them that Mr. Daily was dead, and

column obituary, lauding to the
skies his old friend. The matter
came to Mr. Dally's attention at
once, and he Immediately for
warded an affidavit to the effect
that he was still very much alive.
He kept copy of the obituary

Wheat. There has been a slight
break in wheat on account of the
large receipts and the expecta-
ton that tn, visible would in
crease two and one half million
bushels, but the market recovered
some and is holding quite strong.
California advises that sales have
been made to Australia to the
amount Of 100000 bushels which
has forced the price up on the
Pacific Coast to S0sc. The re-

Oats. Oats have been rather
dull and the fluctuations have
been slight. The cereal people

giving their attention largely to
the May option and we are looking

One of the most lively dances
that has ever occurred took place
at the Frank Henderson place
last Saturday night, if we are
correctly informed. Several Of
the young men from Logan went
out and joined forces with other
young bloods out in the neighbour
hood and it is said they made
things lively. It is also alleged
that the boys from here took out a
generous supply of poor whisky,
and got full themselves and had
sufficient left over to contribute
good sized jags to several others.
When they got we'll organized
they tore things up generally,
knocked down the fences, took
some of the furniture out of the
house and broke it, climbed on
the roof and tore off the shingles,
and acted very outrageous inside
whenever permitted to get in the
hall. Mr. Henderson, who was
running the dance, came to town
Monday and swore out warrants
for q number of the boys, four.
teen so far, were arrested and
fined. Justice Creagor thought
that good time had been enjoyed
by all participants, and fined
them eight dollars each, which
was paid by the boys or their par
ents for them. In retaliation
warrants were issued against
Henderson for running dance
on Sunday, as it was proven that
the dance was run after IL o CLOCK,
and he was fined twenty dollars.
We would consider it pretty exc
pensive amusement all around.
The next move should be for
some one to learn where the
liquor was procured and get the
seller thereof to contribute to the
school fund also.-Logan Gazette

To Protect Trains

The report has been circulated
in railrord circles that the Free

has commenced the practice of
carrying detectives on it's night
trains through the weston part
of the state for protecting them
from possible holdups at the
hands of train robbers who are
thought to be hiding in the Black
Hills. The fact that tie men who
held up the Burlington train near
Lincoln made such success at
securing big Doodle aud after
wards completely elud:ng the Off

renewal of attempts to hold up
trains in lonely places and the
ra ilway officials are determined
to make their passenger trains
impregnable against such at.

Pretty Social Event.

The Kensington Tea given yester-
day afternoon by Mrs A White and
her daughters, Mrs Mamie Cloud and
MISS Matte White, at their pleasant
home on East Erie street was great
social success. The occasion of the
event was the celebration of the sixty
fifth birthday of Mrs White. The
hours were from 2to 5 o'clock. The
north parlor was resp!endant with
vivid hued carnations, the gift of Mrs
DeVore. The south parlCr, where the
receiving party stood, was mass of
nasturtiums and vines. Mrs Giddings
assisted the hostess in receiving the
guests. During the arrival of the
guests the soft tones of the piano filled
the rooms, sometimes bright and
catchy, again soft and low, but always
conveying O sound of welcome, and
the expression of pretty idea daintily
carried out. There was pretty needle
work and chat and no end of merri-
ment all afternoon. Tray refresh
ments were served in courses by Misses
Emma Green, Maud MacAllister,
Edna Tamisiea and Hazel Craig,
each wearing the nobbiest little cap
and dainty white apron. Master Fred
Cloud was gentleman in waiting and
proved genuine little Squire of
danes. The excellence of the menu
was enhanced by the exquisiteness of
the china on which 1t was served, all
bearing evidence of the artistic skill
of the daughters of the household. All
the ladies at the close of the afternoon
expressed themselves as having had a
lovely time. About sixty guests were
present.

Dyspepsia Cure
Digests what you eat.

Many persons worry because they
are too fat, and many more worry be.
cause they are too thin. In both cases
the food eaten is not properly digested.
Fat persons digest fat producing
foods and do not digest foods thatgive
muscular and nervous strength. They
are not as strong as they look, and de-
serve more sympathy than they get.
Thin persons cannot digest fat pro-
ducing foods. Sometimes they digest
nerve and muscle foods and become
nervous and wiry; but usually they do
not properly digest anything.
Nature has made provision for ~
digestion of all classes of foods; az
when our digestion becomes impaired,
1t is wisdom to take steps at once to
remedy it. Many thousands are using
with marked success the preparation
known as KoDoL DYSPEPSIA CURE.
AS it contains all the digestants, it
digests all kinds of foods and restores
the digestive organs to health,
