Ditch Commissioners.

County Auditor r. V. Innes
has appointed H. II. Field of
this city and Jacob Hanson of
NorWalk township as members
of the commission to determine
what land will be benefited by
the proposed Harrison-Potta-
Wattamie county drainage
ditch. Mcssrs Hanson and
Field have gone to Missouri
Valley to meet the commission
appointed by Auditor Huff of
Harrison county and make the
trip along the proposed route in
Harrison county. Later the
commission will return to Pott-
awattamie county and inspect
the ground. The real object
of the commission is to deter
mine the benefits to be derived
from the ditch and not to APP
praise the land. AS yet Aud
itor lnnes has received no re-
port from the commission and
it is doubtful whether much
progress will be made owing to
the heavy rains OF the past two
days. Nonpareil.

ming to attract attention
throughout the Western States.
From September 26 to October

a series of municipal fetes sucl
as have been equalcd only in
the days of the Romans.
Two of the most popula,
features ON the program will

ing of Chicago.
The parade will include
United States troops from TIE

hundred Indians, descendants
of the tribes that once lived in
Chicago, will hold camp about
the fort and will make daily
attack on it. The structure will

L. H. johnson, a resident of
Long Pine, has been reported to
the police as missing. He came
to Omaha yesterday with the
body of his brother, who was
drowned in Long Pine, on his
way to Pleasantville, Ia, where
the body was to be inferred.
When he arrived, he wrote a
letter to a sister, Mrs. V. P.
Hibbler of 207 North Seven
teenth street, requesting her to
meet him at the Windsor hotel.
She sent her son to meet him
last night at 6 o'clock. Since
that time no trace of him has
been found. After leaving the
hotel early in the evening John
son failed to return. The body
of the deceased brother is held
at the depot. Omaha News.
The Omaha police, after q
careful investigation of the
case, found the supposed to be
missing man made a short cut
and instead Of going into Oma-
ha as he originally intended
came to this city from Airing
ton and went east over the
North Western. Previous to q
few years ago Johnson was q
resident Of this city.

Three score years ago the aver
age boy would go out on Sun
day, climb a tree and partake
of a few quarts of mulberries,
and top off with a pocket-full
of green apples and salt. The
next morning the mother di-
agnosed his trouble as worms
and he was made to swallow
half a bottle of Frey's vermi-
fuge, a quarter of a pound of
epson salts, and was turned
loose in the COW pasture until
supper time when he would
come in for a square meal all

of a Stitch in the side he has

off to a hospital, starved with

He is purely and simply typical product OF
