" Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago. ... -..
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most. ..-.....
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination

Business men, for the next two or
three weeks just notice how much
you miss the farmer from the streets
of the towns. And when you notice
this-also the difference in the
amount of trade you are doing with
out the farmer and family and the
amount you do when he makes
weekly or semi-weekly visits to town
-remember that the success of all
our towns depends upon the success
of the farming community around
them. Look upon the farmer as
your best friend and best customer.
and give him the treatment such a
one deserves. Help to make his
visits to the town pleasant-those
hours of real recreation to him, when
he lays aside the routine work OF
sewing and reaping, of stock tending
and preparing the products of his
industry for the market. Remembel
that the tiller of the soil is the pillal
of all industry, and accord to him al
the honors he deserves

As stated in last weeks paper, Len
Lamb, former resident of this county,,
was killed by a train at Washita Juno
ton, Oklahoma Wednesday evening
of last week. AS he was alone at the
time of the accident, exact particulars
are not obtainable. As We have them
from brother they are as follows:
He was in the hotel business al this
point having only short time pZevi-
ously gone into same, and in going TO
the hotel from the business part of
town had to cross a junction of the
Frisco and Choctaw tracks. 1t seems
that it was after night and as he Sas
crossing two trains came along, one
on each road. He WAS going in the
same direction as the Frisco train,
which being down grade the engineer
had shut off, and the train was. run
ming of its momentum into the stal
ton thereby making so. little noise
that with the noise made by the other
train it was not or could not be heard
by Lamb, and therefore he was
caught unawareS. His remains were
mangled in horrible shape, the
hands being about all that was left of
him which could be recognized.
Len Lamb was an industrious and
upright young man, who grew to
manhood in this county, and was a
universal favorite with the young
people. He was about 81 years old
and unmarried. He had been quite
successful in business since settling
in this new country and drew claim
No. 2 at the Elreno drawing. Up,
until short time ago he had been in
business at Hobart where his mother
resides. He leaves a mother, three.
brothers and two sisters to mourn his
sudden and untimely death. His
remains were laid TO rest beside those
of his father in the cemetery at this
point last Saturday, the services be-
ing conducted by Father Wiersma.
The DEMOCRAT joins his multitude of
friends in extending sympathy to his
bereaved relatives.

Nickerson College.

The Nickerson Normal College
was organized in 1898, and has been
in successful operation for the last
five years. At meeting of the
trustees held May 4. 1908, the name
of the institution was changed to
Nickerson College. This does not
mean that normal work will be
neglected in the future, but that with
the organization of the Reno County
High School as the preparatory de
partment, the work of the collegiate
department can be made stronger.
The N. N. c. has not been changed
into county high school, but into
Nickerson College, with stronger
Faculty, better equipment, and
higher ideals.
Students attending the College
will not be compelled to take the
high school course, nor will they be
subjected to entrance examinations.
They will enjoy every advantage the
school has hitherto afforded, and
many additional advantages.
If you are interested in the work
of this kind of school, write for a
Catalogue. Address,
E. B. SMITH, A. NJ, President,

This is What Kills Cattle.

Every now and then we hear of
cattle dying from the effects of eating
second-growth cane and the following
relative thereto, will be of interest to
farmers and stock raisers: In the vi
cinity of Cambridge, Neb., so many
cattle died from eating cane that a
sample of the food was sent to the
university experiment station to be
analyzed. The geologist and chemist
then made trip to Cambridge for
the purpose of investigation. A COW
was appraised and cane which had
caused the death of other cattle was
fed to her The cane acted quickly
and in Is minutes the animal was
dead. Upon examination it was
found to contain prussic acid and is
caused by stunted growth. If the
cane is allowed to cure, this acid will
evaporate leaving it in harmless
condition. The experts are of the
opinion that the acid does not exist
in cane of rank growth and that the
only danger is in feeding stunted
cane before it has had time to cure.

Base Ball.

The first games, a series OF three
between Great Bend and Ellsworth
teams, were played on the new
diamond in the Fair Grounds, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. Considering the lack of
practice on the part of the Great
Bend players, they did pretty well
thank you, not to loose more than
three out of the series.
Mondays game was a close one.
and fine exhibition of ball playing.
Ellsworth started to put in a black
man but he was cut out early In the
game. The score on Monday was 1
to O in the home teams favor up to
the 4th inning. In the 4th and 5th
Ellsworth tailed, but no oftener, and
the game closed 2 to l in favor of
our visitors.
Tuesdays game was a nightmare,
voodoo hoodoo. razzling dazzling
ramps; for the Ellsworth team played
ball while the home team played the
deuce. The visitors again won; score,
Ellsworth 8, Great Bend L.
Wednesdays game was more like
real base ball, the home boys holding
the score down more like old times,
and although the visitors again came
out winners, they had to "do their
durndest" The score: Ellsworth 3,
Great Bend 2.
The attendance was not large
either day, not as large as it ought to
have been to encourage the manage
ment to strengthen the team and
date other games, but we understand
manager Ewalt will see that sit don't
happen again the next games
are going to be ours.

A Murder in Stafford County.

On Sunday morning, June 2Sth, A.
Railsback, of Arkansas, was shot and
killed by Lew Wright, a farm hand,
at the Kimler farm just over
the line south of Great Bend, in
Stafford county. The facts, as near
as we can get them, are as follows:
Railsback lived in Arkansas, but he
or his father own a farm adjoining
the Kimler farm where the
shooting occurred. Railsback and his
father came up from Arkansas
recently to look after the wheat
harvest, and were stopping on the
farm, where Mrs. Homer, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. NJ. Kimler of
this city, and lady of un-
questioned reputation, is keeping
house for her brothers who have been
in former years renting the Rails
back quarter adjoining. 1t seemed
that for some time Wright had been
wanting to wait upon Mrs. Horner,
but his advances were discouraged.
He had threatened Railsback if he,
the latter, came back to this country
and had anything to do with the
woman there would be trouble.
Saturday night he was in Seward,
and Sunday morning about 7 o'clock,
when Railsback went out to the barn
to attend the stock, Wright was there,
having slept in the barn that night.
All the folks were about attending to
the morning work-the Kimler boys,
Mr.. Railsback and his son, and Mrs.
Horner and her two children. Wright
stepped out from around the corner
of the barn and began shooting,
firing five shots, two of which took
effect and caused death inside of an
hour.
After the shooting Wright left the
place, and going to neighbors told
them he had killed Railsback, and
said he was going to ST. John to give
himself up. He did not go to St.
John, however, and during Sunday
evening was found by the officers in
a wheat field, and arrested, confess
ing the crime.
Both men were above 80 years of
age, and so far as we could learn
were of reputable character. Thus
the giving way to hot temper has
practically put from usefulness two
young men who might have lived to
good old age, for one is lying
beneath the sod, and the other will
likely spend the balance of his days
in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Railsback, mother of the
murdered man. arrived Tuesday
morning. On Wednesday, July 1st,
the remains were brought to Great
Bend, and at 7:30 that evening short
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Sutherland of the Congrega-
tional church, at the residence of M.
NJ. Kimler, on Forest Avenue. The
body was that evening shipped to
the Arkansas home for interment,
accompanied by the bereaved father
and mother.
