scratched. and it is now alleged she

until the Weylands began making
preparations for leaving Joplin, 1t is
rumored that Mr., Weyland has sold
his drug store and will depart shortly
for California.

18th. Now let's think of a man
with his crop under fence; let Il
lot OF the cattle and hogs get in
on him one night while he is TAX
ing his rest, and the next morn

so with stock law; the cattle are
subject to the damage done.
Another thing is, if your stock
gets out, your neighbor will be
very apt to put them up for you,
and you don't have to travel all
over the country hunting them.
He has to notify you, and you
only pay the damage done.

One night was called profess

a beautiful star spangled night.
Before morning blizzard came
up and was penned up in that
little house of one room, ten by
fourteen, for two days and nights.
There was but one bed and
sick woman occupied that, and l
sat on what I thought was the
hardest chair l had ever tried.
The hay stack was about twenty
feet from the house. 1t was the
only fuel and the young man of
the house had to go out in that
binding blizzard to get the hay
to burn. Every time the door of
the house was opened the snow
Hurried in. When he went out
for hay | stood by the door and
sla mined it shut as he got out
and when he kicked it I opened
it and slammed it to again. The
hay was filled with snow and the
floor became so wet we had to
bore holes in it TO let out the wat

this was only one of the many
similar experiences of that Da-
kota winter.
I am not at all certain as to the
number of billiards., as I kept no

there were at least forty.
One day at the little postof6ce

If land in such a climate where

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fu1f1ls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcon1es that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

The German Celebration.

Thursday, Oct. 9th, was a big day
for the Germans of Barton county
They held their annual celebration OF
German day at Ellinwood, and al
though the day was cool and not ideal
weather for an outdoor celebration,
there was quite good sized crowd
of the best people in the county pres
ent. The busy season, when many
farmers were just finishing up their
fall seeding, kept many people away
but those who were present surely
enjoyed themselves in the good old
fashioned way that promotes good
cheer and good fellowship and makes
all who participate have better feel
ing toward their fellow men.
Music of a most excellent character
was furnished by the Ellinwood band
and singing and dancing were the
order of the day.
At night the Woodmen OF the
World camp gave a dance in the
opera house which was largely at
tended.
