lanes Red of Lucerne Dies from
Drug.

Registered at the Exchange hotel
under name Of James Franklin, James
Red. blacksmith at Lucerne, last
Saturday afternoon took morphine,
from the effects Of which he died
Sunday afternoon. MT. Red came
to the hotel at about noon Saturday
and asked for room, making the
remark to Landlord Paul Netzel that
man would occasionally take. a
drink too much. He asked to be
called at about O'Clock, and then
after securing a pitcher of ice water
closed his door, AT about $50 Mr..
Nelzel again went to the room to see
if the man wanted to get up. He
acted in a da2ed sort of way, but
stated that he was too i'll to get up
and would pay for the room in the
morning. Again in the middle of
the forenoon Sunday, MIR. Netzel
went to the room and then found the
man in dying condition.. He sent
for Marshal Camp at once, who in
turn brought Dr. W. L. Miller and
DR.. Spaulding, They had the
patient removed to county hospital,
where he died shortly after. Before
he was removed from the hotel, three
boxes of morphine were found on his
pe,son, two of which were nearly
empty. E
1t was stated later that Mr.. Red
had left his home in Lucerne Sat
urday morning after making threats
of taking his own life because drink
had gotten the better Of him. He
was buried Tuesday afternoon, the
funeral services being held in Bills
Bros. undertaking rooms. Deceased
was about 81 years of age.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. 1t has been in
use for over thirty years, during
which time many million bottles
have been suld and used. 1t has long
been the sta lderd and main reliance
in the treatment Of Group In uhous-
ands of homes, yet during all this
time no case has ever been reported
to the manufacturers in which 1t
failed to effect cure. When given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse
or even as soon as the croupy cough
appears, it will prevent the attack.
1t is pleasant to take, many children
like it. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
gwen as confidently to a baby as to
an adult. For sale by all druggists.

TO MAINTAIN PRICE
Produce Dealers Will Continue
to Pay rs Cents for Spuds.

The produce dealers Of Greeley held a
meeting here yesterday morning to dis
cuss the POTATO situation, in regard to
prices, the scarcity Of cars and other
subjects pertaining to the welfare Of the
business. It was decided not to lower
the price of potatoes from IS cents per
100. The dealers state that they can
dispose OF Just as many potatoes at this
figure as they could if the price was
lowered to 70 or even 65 cents hun.
dred. 1t is not 80 much question Of
market Just now as it is to secure cars to
ship the product. Then too, potatoes
are hardly ripe enough yet to ship to
markets east OF the the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers. They can still hold
Kansas, Oklahoma. Indian Territory
and Texas. For this reason farmers
will do well not to crowd more potatoes
into the market than can we'll be handled
by the present supply of cars, and thus
re. eive better price for what they do
sell. The break in the market, il one is
to come at all, will not be for some time

SHOT THROUGH HEAD
Young Man Loses Life through
Shooting Accident.

Coroner Macy was called to Wentz
last Sunday 60 inquire into the acci-
dental shooting of Charles G. Norris,
son of j. Norris of that place. The
shooting ocurred Saturday morning.
Young Norris, who was about 10 years
of age, was about to start for Dem
yer with a load of pumpkins and had
wrapped his 22.calibre rifle In his
oyercoat and placed 1t near the rear
end of his load. This much was
known by his brother James. From
this position the young man had
evidently tried to pull the gun toward
him, muzzle first, in order to place
it on the seat he was about to occupy.
The gun was accidentally discharged,
the bullet going through the cloth OF
the ove1coat and entering the right
temple of Charles, passing clean
through the head and coming out OF
the back. When few minutes later
James Norris, brother Of the young
man, came out of the house ABOUT
200 yards away to say goodbye to
Charles before the latter left, he was
found laying alongside the wagon un-
conscious. James hurried to the
ueighbors, a short distance away, for
assistance, but when they returned
the young man was dead. He was
buried Sunday afternoon, the services
being held in the school house. The
two brothers were living on the
ranch alone, while their father was
working in Den Ter. With him are
two other children. The mother
died some years ago.

THE MOTHER.

She sends her wild and noisy swarm
OF children out of sight to play,
Careless, it seems, of any harm,
That might befall them on their way
But she has weaker lives to rear
Babes at her breast and at her knee
And toiling on, unmoved by fear,
She lets her children wander free.
INTENDED in the rain and sun,
They fight and play and dream and roam,
TILL tired and listless, by one,
With tagging feet they make for home.
And there, forgetting grief and mrth,
Into their mothers arm they creep;
And the COOL soft breast of Earth
Her weary children fall asleep.
