FARMER.

The Urbaua Citizen says that Mad
river was tearing up jack. down in
Champaign county last week, over
flowing farms and doing much dam
age. Every spring this Logan county
stream, which rises on the hills in
this county, where Simon Kentou
was buried, goes tumbling down into
Champaign county, overrunning its
banks, drowning stock, carrying away
hay stacks, etc, tearing like mad,
and boiling with Indignation over
the act of the Champaign county
body snatchers who purloined Ken
tons bones and had them buried al
Urbana. We don't blame the Cham.
paign county folks much, however
as they needed something to give
tone to their county, and most any
old bones from Logan county would
be preciated down there.

The Cold Weather.

We betray no secrets when VIC say
that this IS cold winter. The oldest
inhabitant, sturdy raconteur as be
IL, falters in his story as the front
door is opened and the north wind
enters unlimited with him who has
been obliged to brave 1t. Reminis-
cence surrenders to reality.
In the days the Oldest inhabitant
started to remain unmolested under
the ground. The mining of coal. TO
speak comparatively, was slow and
tedious process. Modern methods OF
heating were unknown OF in their
infancy. There we're disadvantages
then. But there were advantages,
too. In those days there were nc
natural gas combines to shoot up the
very moment when everybody needed
gas worst. There no agreements be
tween coal operators and railroad
corporations, whereby 1t was possible
to squeeze the last dollar out of the
unhappy consumers pocker.
But what's the use: We all hop
to see the downfall of the trusts som'
of these days before very long. Near
while, we've got to pay the price an
keep warm. The most heated re
mark as to the stamping out o
competition do not avail in this kin
of weather. It's easier to keep tn
body warm If the head is cool.
There are few things of paramour
; Importance to be done under the Gil
: cumstances. Pay the gas bill or co;
bill or both, with such grace as yO
can muster. Bundle up well to scar
pneumonia away. Keep your heal
: warm toward the poor and your pur;
open in the same direction. An
: brighten up the vista by bearing
mind that winter can't possibly han
: on for very many weeks longer

State delegates to the Republican

WIN. JENNINGS BRYAN is visiting IN
the ''enemy's country" in New York,
presumably to see if he can cinch
that $50, 900 left him in the will writ
ten by himself, and which his friend 1
widow has so far succeeded in keep
ing him out of. The atmosphere OF
New York seems to be different from
that OF Nebraska, and to an inter
viewer he admits that the silver
question is not now of paramount
importance, but that the burning
question is whether the money
ch angers shall rule this country II
he succeeds in changing that so, OO'
from the widows hands to his own
he will no doubt be on the affirmative
side of the question.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes. August Flower still has the largest sale
OF any medicine In the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Prosi
or Heart Failure. etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigesled food. regulate
the action OF the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system, and that Is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose of Green's August Flower. IN liquid
form. TO make you satisfied there Is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get thi.
