glorious defeat, and enough to be the

rible political nightmare of 1896, the re-
publican party was surprisingly dilatory
in formulating and presenting currency
bill. The country was both amused and
exasperated when congress appeared to
take seriously the bimetallic subterfuge
OF the republican national platform. Con-
gress sent somebody across the water for
the fourth or fifth time to invoke the aid
of Europe in the absurdity of -nullifying
the law of supply and demand, and Europe
promptly declined as she had frequently
declined before. And England's reply was
the establishment of the gold standard for
the Indian empire.
When our men came back and reported
that Europe was obdupate in her views,
that there was a difference between value
and price, the republicans brought in a
currency bill and Aldrich presented it to
the senate in a speech remarkable for its
simplicity and clearness. The senate lis

Workmen at the Palisade mill this morn

Coroner Williams ordered the body re-

MCDONALD IN NEW ROW

Barn Is Cause of supcrintndent's
Trapb1c This Time.
Superintendent Mcdonald OF the workhouse
has another row with one of his subor-
dinates, and the board Of corrections and
charities will again be called upon to straight
matters out. .~. .'
At the last meeting Engineer McConville
asked permission to build small frame barn
in which to house his horse during the day
watch. He reported that this necessary
owing to the fact that Superin tendent McDon-
aid had refused him permission to keep his
horse in the workhouse stables. .
The board promptly granted the request
but before operations were begun, superin-
tsndent Mcdonald, full of wrath, notified the
engineer that he would not be allowed to
build the barn on the workhouse grounds. 1t
appears that Mcdonald was much disturbed
over the action of the engineer in making his
request to the hoard instead of to him. Mr..
McConvlle, having his permit from the board,
believes he is entitled to go ahead with his
barn, and will insist upon doing SO. -

ArtesIaa Wei, In f,odgeman.

Artesian water has been found in
Hodgeman county. Mr.. Jensen was
boring we'll recently just east of
Point of Rocks and at the depth of
100 feet struck water that has sufficient
head to throw a small stream to the
height of 20 feet. 1t was thought at
first that the supply would be ex-
hausted in a short time and a mill
could then be put up. SO work was
suspended for several days. 1t was
found that the stream continued with
unabated force, so it was Jpiped to the
water tanks and the mill, which was
on the ground, was returned TO the
dealer at Speareville. Every one in
that country is nov figuring on ar
tesian water.

NEW THREsH,Nd r1AcnINE.
Four Men and a Small Army Of
Horses Required to Operate 1t.

r. E. Edwards will start a COM
bined header and thresher on the
Maxey farm either the last of this
week or the first of next. twill be in
charge of an agent who brings it here
from Barton county. where 1t was
tried last year, to show our farmers
it's capabilities. 1t will cut and thresh
about thirty-five acres day and re-:
quires four men and twenty-four
horses to operate it. The cost OF the
machine is s., 900.
Our people are looking forward to
the starting of this machine with con-
siderable interest as il is asserted by
the agent that where farmer las his
own teams the work OF harvesting and
threshiug can be done for about
twenty-five cents an acre. This ma
chine cuts sixteen feet wide and the
teams travel slowly SO that the total
acreage that can be cut is only about
what good crew could do with n
twelve-foot header, perhaps 600 acres,
and the price OF the machine looks
large compared with the amount OF
work that II will do, ~ it could only
be operated about twenty days. On
the other side the cost Of threshing,
loss from stacking and handling has
to be considered. On the whole. figur-
ing the interest on the investment and
depreciation, the investment would
still be a good one where n man MAS
so situated that he could work the
machine to it's full capacity.

Club Notes.

The Woman's Club, including hus-
bands, made an official call on Mr..
and Mrs. H. w. Hills, Tuesday even
ing, spending very merry evening
in their pleasant country home. The
callers carried a picnic lunch with
them which was enjoyed before re-
turning home. A vaudeville perform
ance given by Messrs. West, Wire
and Sellers received much applause.
The few accidents incident to such
occasions created the usual amount OF
excitement. The two ''widowers, -
who had the ice in their carriage, had
such a heated argument as to whether
cucumbers for pickles should be
planted the Goth or 21st of June that
they melted most of the ice. Another
gentleman charged with the disap-
pearance of the olives finally man
aged to clear himself by producing
them from their hiding place.
1t was a pleasant drive out through
the hills with the shadows beginning
rays of the slow descending SUM-
brought out the gold in the wheat
fields, while everywhere the beautiful
prairies were dotted with wild flowers.
Coming home with all things softened
by the ''witching light of the moon"
was only another phase of the en-
chantment of the prairies.
MIR. and Mrs. Hills have lately
moved here from Ohio and purchased
the old Norton place. This house
was the center OF a pleasant social
life In the older days when the Nor
tons lived there, and those who en-
joyed its delightful hospitality are
glad to know that it will again take
it. place among the homes where life's
cares are occasionally laid aside for
the happy hours of social intercourse.
Mrs. Hills and her daughter are
delightful hostesses, and We are soon
to welcome another daughter who is
yet in Ohio.
