The Merrill News has the following
to say of JAS BrowA, of Neenah:
Starter Brown was not up 10 his usual
form, that is with his side plays and
ioliying the crowd. Perhaps it was due
to his having been told that he was
starter and that -as all While Re is
one of the bsst fellows on earth and
understands his business from a t. =,
he will neyertheless play favorjles il
given an opportunity. aud tlSat's some

Jim has served as starter in all the
races held in WauSan in recent years,
aud has always given the best of salts

grand stand but the horsemen as well
| The above criticism appears faulty.

A stranger giving his name as Mat
Schultz was arrested OF Third street
Friday by Chief Malone because of his
strange actions. He was acting in a
way that attracted the attention Of ali
who passed him and looked a fit candi-
date for lpnatic asylum. In his ques-
tions Mr. Malone asked him If he ever
had headaches, endeavoring to
ascertain if he had any symp-
oms of insanity, and the reply lie
got was No, never have headaches
but am troubled with cold feet" He
was looking for work in brewery, he
said, and the caisf locked him mp tell
ing him that he might find work in the
morning. From that time on until
Saturday morning he would not speak a
word. Saturday, however. his tongue
loosened up and he gave his name as
Mst. Schultz and his residence ST. Paul
He appeared quite sane and was tod TO
leave town When last seen he was
headed for Merrill.

The altitude ranges from 1000 feet on
the western border to less than 1.Seo feet
in the ceutroI portion There are no ele-
yations rising more than 800 feet above
the general level. Erosion has played a
conspicuous part in changing the contour
the rivers and small streams having
made deep and narrow valleys through
the plains. The soil is everywhere very
fertile. and needs only moisture TO pro-
duce immense crops.
Much of the irrigation has been expert
mental and in many eases the results
have been unsatisfactory. but the farmers
have profited by their experience and by
better methods and greater economy a
largely increased area can be brought
under cultivation.
WATER SUPPLY.
In semiarid Kansas, the streams fur
nish a very limited and quite uncertain
s,lpply. and it Is only during food seasons
that any considerable area may he wat
cred ;herefrcm. As result. the irTlsa-
ton from this source is largely for for
age crops There are many small spring
fed streams which are utilized TO irr1
gate small holdings.
The underground water seems to offer
the surcst and most constant supply and
while this source has not Yet been util-
lied to cover in the aggregate many
acres. the number Of farms thus irri-
gated is relatively large, showing that
erouud water may b. obtained through
o;it n wide territory Al the present time.

Washington May The United

following preliminary statement concern
Ing irrigation in the state Of Kansas IN
1892:
That portion Of Kansas in which irriga-
ton Is generally necessary for the sue
cessful production OF crops varies from
year To year. During years of scanty
rainfall. one-half. and sometimes even
more. requires the artificial application of
water. When the rainfall is more plen-
tiful and better distributed. irrigation Is
NOT essential in more than one-third of
the state and. during years OF eNtraor-
binary precipitation. even the western
portion produces abundant crops without
irrigation. To this uncertainty in the
climate conditions are attributable many

for which this part Of Kansas Is noted.

A Cold in the Head or Throat is Al
most Certain to Develop into
C7+arrh if NeoJected

CATARRH usually begins as a cold
~ i'm the head or throat and is neg
lected until it becomes chronic; then
it begins To dawn on the victim that he
has catarrh. Unless he is very foolish
indeed he will not rest easy until the
catarrh is entirely cured. Thousands pay
no attention to it until it is too late.
If Peruna is used the cold never be
comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre-
vented But after catarrh has become
thoroughly established, Peruna will cure
il. but it will take much longer.

ton as we'll as thousands in the humber

the use of Peruna. becomes chronic
bronchitis. which requires persistent
use Of Peruna for some time. There are
a great many cases Of consumption every

Notwithstanding that a Great Number

@ PRINGTIME has come at last. and
- now is the time for all catarrh suf-

difficulty in the way Of treating chronic

catch cold during the treatment and thus

This liability at this season Of the year
is, in a great measure, removed, and no
one should neglect the opportunity to

THE FIRST STAGE OF cATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thousands
are Making.

"HE first stage of catarrh is what Is
commonly known as 'catchlhs
cold" 1t may be in the head, nose
throat or lungs It's beginning IS some
times so severe as to cause chiI ana
considerable fever. or It may ne so slight
as to not hinder person from has usual
business. In perhaps Il majority OF cases
little or no attention is paid to the ilrst
stage of catarrh and hence it is that
nearly one-half of the people nave
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is TO invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as anyone discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle, and
the cold is sure TO pass away without
leaving any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold IS almost
sure to end in the second stage Of ca
tarrh which is making so many lives
miserab be. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough chronic
catarrh would be practically an un-
known disease.
