Bear in Mind.

A. P. Slocum, the wide awake
druggist has added a novelty
scheme to his drug store in the
form OF two small bear cubs
which were shipped in from
Washington. The bears are on
display IN the window, Of his
store and on theplate glass front
may be seen the words" Bear in
mine, Slocum's ice cream soda. y
There have been large crowds
about the window since the men.
agerie struck the city. Slocum
was greatly put out Tuesday
morning when he arrived at the
store to find that the little cubs
had torn down their wire netting
and had helped themselves to g
generous quantity Of ice cream
syrup and even tested the gooc
things from Slocum's cellar.

At The Court House.

NJ. s. Williams, county treas
urer, reports that during the
month Of April, S31,013.66 were
paid out OF his Office, in county
warrants, and for township and
school purposes. The schools
alone received about $50, 952.5S.
Ward county paid out for the
killing Of gophers during the
month Of April about 1920.
AS a cent was given for each tail
exhibited, this represents the
death Of about half a million of
the pests, as many crawled into
their holes and died, making it
impossible to secure all the tails.
The gophers killed at that sea-
son OF the year meant the killing
OF ten times that number a few
months latter. A few years Of
such work will thin out the
ranks of the tiickertails.
There are sixteen prisoners in
the county jail. Two are from
NcHenry county.
Court will set June S, but there
will be no Jury trial.
A. P. Scofeld took to the in
sane asylum Monday night, Fred
Lundquist OF Bowbells who was
adiudgad insane. The poor fell
ows imagined that some one
wished to hang him. He was a
homesteader. He was first taken
to the hospital, but did not i'm
prove.
One OF the handiest things yet
placed in the office Of the register
OF deeds is a bus, not an omnibus
for the transportation of people,
but a real bus, an arrangement
with wheels for the transporting
OF fifteen large books, the tract
indexes. The books weigh 200
pounds or more and are used
much every day. The work OF
carrying them from and back to
the vaults meant hard labor and
a loss OF time. The bus is wheel.
ed out into the room each day
and the books are easily taken
from their shelves and placed in
the desk top above the bus.
