FARMERS EXCHANGE.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. S.-The an
nouncement was made here Saturday
that representatives of all of the CO.
operative agricultural Interest," of the
Mississippi Valley will meet in
Omaha March | to organize the Ma
sional Farmers Exchange, with a
capital stock of $50, 900, 900. The call
issued says. we recommend that we
concentrate our efforts, first, on grain;
second, on live stock; third, on cold
storage; fourth, on lumber and coal;
fifth, on beef and pork packing and
milling. We recommend that branch
Offices be established and elevators
and warehouses be built or bought all
through the grain belt from Oklahoma
to North Dakota, and from California
to the Allegheny Mountains. We rec
ommend that farmers store their grain
in their own warehouses or cribs, and
sell it gradually instead of rushing it
into market.
1t is the idea to establish terminal
facilities at Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Omaha, and other necessary
points.

A GREEDY PACK OF ILLS SUR
ROUND A CLERGYMAN'S WIFE
Through the Arrival of Timely
Aid She Escapes from the Ter
rors of Prolonged
Siege.

Certain encounters with physical
ills resemble very closely the terror
of an attack by ravenous beasts,
which crowd around their victim in
gradually narrowing circle, filling
him with PROLONGED dread of GER
tain destruction III the end.
The Rev. w. A. Denton. of Girard,
Crawford county, Kansas, tells the
following story of a narrowing ex-
perience of one of the members of his
family: my wife," he says, twas
assaulted for fifteen years by combi-
nation of ailments following the
birth of our first child. Female
weakness, rheumatism, dropsical
tendencies, Indigestion, torpid liver,
nervousness, insomnia and irregular
ity of the hearts action were among
them. The food she ate fermented
in her stomach. she had frequent
dizzy spells. her limbs were swollen.
her nerves were quite shattered and
she was may times on the verge of
heart failure.
physicians gave her only temper
airy relief. Her youngest sister had
used DR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People with benefit for stomach
difficulty. My brother-in law had
found them helpful for heart trouble
and several neiRhbors had given favor
able reports about them. Finally my
wife was induced to try them. She
| experienced improvement almost at
once and continued to use them. They
relieved her sleeplessness. the smoth'
ering sensations have disappeared and
have not annoyed her for years
They freed her from stomach trouble
| and the dropsical tendency was miti
gated. The progress of the rheumatic
affection, which had begun to make
her fingers crooked, was stayed ant
the pain was banished. In every re-
spect they gave her more help thai
any other remedy she had ever used
and she is today in better health thai
for many years.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills hav,
earned our full confidence. They ar,
our staple household remedy, and
am in the habit of recommending
them to all who suffer from trouble
like those which afflicted my wife"
All the elements necessary to Civ
new life and richness to the blood ant

also specific for troubles peculiar t.
J females, such as suppression, irregular
tiles and all forms of weakness. The

ABOUT THE STATE.

The celebrated case of S. d. Wilson
VS.. Percival W Clement, Islander
suit to recover $50, 900, will not be
heard at the February term of United
States court, Burlington. according to
original expectation. The work of
preparing for trial has been retarded
from thu fact that the attorneys in the
case have had other work to attend to,
and the case will not be tried until
the regular May session of court at
Windsor.
EARLY Tuesday morning couple of
tramps were found in one of the rooms
of the Hartford station of the Wood
stock railroad, seated around fire

able to force the door that led into
the next room, in which there was q
stove, so they utilized the floor as a

NO MORE GUESSING.

y The astounding and to some extent
disquieting notice comes from London
that the business of foretelling the
weather is sure to pass very soon from
the department of human fancy to
that of scientific fact. We are to have
an end of prospects,, " probabilities"
and indications. In the bulletins
from the signal offices we are to read
Of the approaches of the inevitable.
1t is the Roentgen ray which opens
this possibility. By its penetrating
powers it is to enable the prophets to
perceive the coming of the weather
even through blanket of London fog
or a superficial wrapping of East
River mist.
Various material interests will be
furthered by this advance in forecast
ing. Commercial purposes will be
served. picnic promoters will get their
need of benefit, and my lady OF fine
feathers will be able to avoid many
risks in making her outdoor display
of fashions and frills. But converse.
tionalists and the humorists of every
day will lose while others gain. Who
will care to talk about the weather
when it is a thing discounted, accur.
ately cut and measured in advance?
And where will the joke come in
when sunshine bulletin means sun
shine and rain bulletin is authori-
tative warning to keep OUT OF the wet :?
We shall not laud science for chang
ing the popular guess into an official
sure thing. If the big bugs Of metero-
logy really want to do something let
them discover the ways and means not
merely to foretell weather. but to
make it. Then will humanity have
the sweet consolation of finding fault
with the brand, of complaining that
it doesn't wear the way weather used
to, and OF rising in its might when
the rain makers go into trust and
raise the price.

INDIAN M NJ ES.

Major Frank Terry, who is in
charge OF the Indian school in the
Puyallup Reservation, is thus quoted
by The Tacoma Washington Ledger:
Translation of Indian names, as q
rule, have been unsatisfactory, though
there are exceptions. The case is re.
ported from the Pawnee Reservation,
Oklahoma, of an Indian named Coo.
-rah-ruk- koo. The literal in
depreciation of his name as given to
me is, Fearing a bear that. is-wild.
With this Interpretation the agent
named him Fearing B. Wilde. AS
the Indian grows he commits acts
from time to time, each OF which
gives him new name. For example,
he may see bear and run screaming
to tepee. The folks laugh at him
and call him Afraid OLA bear. - If
he braids in his hair yellow feather
which he has plucked from the tail Of
an eagle. he may be called Eagle

yellow feather, II he gives it to
his friend he will be known as Gives

asked for it, he becomes 'Keeps-tlie-

to in some quarters of discarding the
Indian names and fitting the Indians

THE REASON.

There was man in our town
Who was SO wondrous nice
That when he slipped and tumbled
down
He didn't cuss the ice.
Nor did he have thing to say
A week or two ago,
When trudging on his weary way
Through deeply drifted snow.
Fen earlier, when the rest of us,
With all our might and main,
We're making such an awful fuss.
He didn't damn the rain.
Perhaps ought to tell you, though,
The reason he was mum,
Twill doubtless ease your minds to
know
That he was deaf and dumb.

NOTHING BUT A PLAIN DRUNK
Fate Works Downward Even with
Most Eminent and Distin-

When j. MCGEE was arraigned In police
court. pleaded guilty to having been drunk
and was fined 81 and costs, there was moth
ing In the procedure to mark the case from
the hundreds of other "plain drunk" cases
that go through the court from day to day
And no one. save few of the old-time
police oficials, gave more than a passing
look at the prisoner as he passed through
the mill"
]. McGee, or rather BLACK jack MCGEE,
as he was formerly known, could tell some
thrilling stories were he SO inclined. But
he will not talk of the days gone by. He
wants to bury the past and for a number
of years has been burying II in the pro-
verbal cup. He is now 60 years of age
and bears the marks OF both age and dis
sipation.
Twenty-Five years ago the name OF BLACK
Jack" MCGEE appeared in many of the
stories of crime on the western frontier
He was then a member of the notorious
Keyes gang, long since broken up after
years OF aggressiveness on the part Of the
authorities. MCGEE was personally one OF
the boldest of the gang. He and his pals
are said to have slugged men for a mere
pittance, to have thrown dead bodies from
moving box cars and to have committed
numerous depredatlons of a brutal char
acter. One case is on record OF robbery
committed In Iowa, in which crime McGee
and Nugent are said 10 have killed their
victim, taken a watch, which they later
placed in the pocket of an innocent party,
who was sentenced for the crime.
In the old years McGee had record
from coast to coast. but today he is sat
isfied with being classed with the plain
drunks."
