Every owner of n horse should
procure a blanket with which to
cover his animal this cold weather.
It is cruel TO leave a horse standing
out in the cold after it has been
driven. Animals, like human be-
ings, take cold, and they should be
protected. 1t will require less food
to sustain a horse if it is protected
properly from the elements.

STOCK AND TRANSFERS

J. II. Davis of this county had
AZ fat steers on the st. Louis mar
ket last week that weighed 1897
lbs, and sold at $4.Gj.
The Farber Forum says that w.
s. Carroll bought car Of hogs
from Inflow & Tanner and that one
of the hogs, raised by Mat Ander-
sou, weighed $50 pounds, and
another, raised by q. M. Farr,
weighed $40 pounds.
1t is reported that a certain man
brought a calf to Mexico the other
day and sold it for $500. His
wife then went and bought a tur-
key for Christmas and paid 1920
for the fowl. The turkeys up and
the calf down just at this time.
Mrs. Oscar Cauthorn of Hollens-
vile brought G6 head of turkeys
to Mexico last FIR d a y
and the drove brought $121.77.
They weighed 002 pounds and
brought on the market 1917 cents
a pound. A gobbler weighed 20
pounds by himself and brought
$3.011S.
The Fulton sun says that Mrs.
Matte Martain living about 7
miles southwest of Fulton on Tues
day sold to j. l.. Mcdonald % tur-
keys that brought her $47. "a.
Mrs. Martain has 10 turkeys left at
home which if sold at the same rate
would amount in the aggregate to
about $S5, which will be ample to
get her husband II very nice Christ
mas present.
This item we find in the Live
Stock Reporter: j. II. Scott, a
well known Audrain county, No.,
stOckman, had in stock Thursday,
included in his shipment being a
two.year old white-faced steer,
weighing 1860 lbs, that sold for
81 so per cwt., the highest price
paid on Yesterdays market. This
steer was raised from a calf by
Elmer JOhnsOn's three young
sons, Carl, Olan and Finley John
son, and the proceeds go to them.
This is their first expert
ence as feeders, but the condition
of this steer, which had been fed
since calf on shelled corn and
the price at which it sold, is evil
dence that they have the making
of excellent stockmen when they
get a few more years added to their
age.

WOMAN'S CONFESSION
After 25 Years

Confession makes the heart glad and
1t makes me glad to confess that L was
wrong about coffee, for disseminating cof-
fee and using Postum has made me feel
like new woman so writes an Ohio
lady.
Il drank coffee . years and at first did
not notice its bad effects except that at
times my heart troubled me but after
. while 1 became very nervous ad could
not sleep. my stoh ach and liver Were in
bad condition and my heart was giving
me serious trouble l became alarmed
and consulted a physician. who said ::
You have no organic disease of the
heart l kept on drinking coffee getting
worse all the time.
Il consulted one after another until
four physicians were persistent in saying
had ne disease of the heart; stin | was
not convinced. / was certain my heart
was badly affected because l had frequent
attacks. each one being more severe than
the others The terrible experience of
those attacks is hard TO describe-I would
grow faint ana fainter until l became so
weak I could not speak above a whisper
The perspiration stood out all over me in
die. then in q little while ! would feel
very cold. These attacks would leave me

to think perhaps il was the coffee that
was effecting me so save up the use Of it
but found it hard 10 stop until / began
using Postum.

After using ii a :ear We much prefer il
to coffee and the terrible heart attacks

that coffee could work such i'll and thar
Postum could correct it in so short a

MY son drank coffee twice = day for

remedies but nothing cured him. When

JURY STILL OUT.
Sealed Verdict Will Be Returned in
Ejectment Case.

The case of Hartwig versus Gould
Brothers and J. V. Mahan was on trial
yesterday in the district court The suit
was for 1920 on a bond, the execution of
which is denied by the defendants
The case is one which arises from eject
ment proceedings brought by the plaintiff
TO Gust the Gould boys from a building
at 522 East Douglas avenue. The plain
tiff was given Judgment in the city court,
but the defendants appealed the case to
the district court. In their appeal bond,
according to agreement. they were TO
pay the plaintiff twise the amount OF rent
during the time the case was pending,
or until il was settled, provided the de-
cision of the city court was sustained.
They finally dismissed the appeal before
coming to trial and now the plaintiff is
endeavoTing to recover on the bond. as he
claims that the building was occupied
seven and two-thirds months. and that il
was worth $50 per month, double which
amount would be 500 per month.
The main point at issue seems to be
whether the building was worth $50 per
month or not. The defense claim it was
not worth half the amount.
The case was given 10 the jury at 3
O'Clock. with instructions TO return a seal
&c verdict At a late hour last night they
were still out.

TWO HOUSES BURN.
Defective FIue Causes Loss to Colored
Families.

Two frame cottages in the vicinity of
Wichita and Ninth streets were destroyed
by fire yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
Both houses were occupied by colored
families. The three-room cottage occu-
pied by Mrs Amanda Scaggs was burned
to the ground and its contents were COM
pletely destroyed. 1t was in this house
that the fire originated, and the exact
cause is not known, though il is supposed
to have started from a defective fue.
The family had been doing the washing
and were out in the yard hanging up the
clothes when one of them CHANGED TO
turn toward the house and discovered
that it was in flames.
Owing to the high south wing prevail
ing at the time, the house directly north,
which was occupied by Henry Shearls,
was soon blazing and by the time the
fire companies arrived both houses were
mass of flames.
A portion of the Shcarles household
goods were removed but not until they
had been badly damaged The occupants
of this house had just begun housekeep-
ing and the furniture was all new. The
loss was covered by $3.50 insurance..
The household goods belonging to Mrs.
Scaggs were covered by SIPS insurance,
and the family took great risk in going
into the house after the fire started in
order to secure thei reinsurance policy,
as they thought that if that was lost
they would get no insurance.
1t was only by the efficient work of the
fire department that the cottage south of
the Scaggs house was saved

most interesting feature of the affair was
the auctioneering of large and taseful
cake. the handiwork of some good sister
Rebeccah. Judge Dale was the fortunate
bidder, and got the prize at a cost Of
$40
Throughout the event a true brotherly
affection existed and the proceedings We're
conducted in q style that shall remain
with those in attendance as a lasting and
joyful memory. The humorous talks of
the POSTMASTER, Judge Wilson, who made
an ideal POSTMASTER from beginning to
end, made their impressions and were
heartily enjoyed by everyone. Judge
Dale's heart breaking court story told
with the accuracy and skill of Rudyard
Kipling, struck the warmest spots in the
bosoms of every man and woman in the
audience.
John Saunders, of Cheney, was simply
eloquent. His speech was interspersed
with smooth and lofty rhetoric. His per
feet SMILES and oratorical illusions and
fights held the closest attention of all.
And when he concluded his remarks with
fitting verse pertaining to the frailties
of women which ends but they can't
dllNt d HAIL. the CIOWu went INTO I'LL
ceasing cheers and recalled him 10 make
another speech. This time he told of all
the good things that are to be found in
Odd Fellowship, and paid that great order
some exquisite compliments.
The Odd Fellows and the Rebeccahs all
had ample pleasure to repay them for the
extra trouble of preparing for the occa-
sion, and the newlymade Odd Fellows
could only sit and stare at the ma gnifi-
cence of the banquet which was given in
their honor.
Mr.. Stewart, one of the class. responL I'd
with toast as a representative of his
class, and did his part very satisfactory
Those who were made Odd Fellows last
night shall not soon let the occasion slip
from memory. and the Rebeccahs will
ever be given endless praise for their
sisteriy assistance and their grand, good
banquet.
