Weeds

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young ;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
chats the best treatment.

Church VI. Saleo0.

The resignation OF Rev. Hauptmaun
owing to the iuadequscy Of his salary
to support his family, the inefi' ctual
efforts Of the Methodists to build q
suitable church building in which to
hold their services, and the general
lack OF finaces with which to carry on
church work in this city is a sad con.
trast to the flo%urishing condition OF the
saloons and gambling houses.
Red Cloud has q population OF about
1000, has three saloons and two gambl.
ing dens, and there seems to be little
danger OF either of them suspending
business from lack of finan; ial support.
1t is conservatively figured that there
are ten families in this city supported
by the traffic in liquor and the "rake.
of" from the gambling tables.
On the other hand, there are five
resident ministers Of the gospel in this
city, four of whom have families to
support, and neither Of them has an in
come sufficient to provide in a suitable
manner for the needs of himself and
family.
And now Red Cloud is about to lose
one of the brightest and most popular
ministers who ever occupied a pulpit
here, Just because the church people
are not as liberal with their purses as
are the supporters and adherents OF
the saloon and gambling den.
II the churches are to successfully
combat the growing evils in this town,
the members will have to "dig" down
In their pockets and bring up some
thing besides nickels aud pennies TO-
wara the support of the work.

be built on the Panama route and at
the point where locks must be con-
structei there is no way of getting
water enough to float the immense

bill to construct a ship railroad, after
the plan that was submitted to con-
gress by Captain Eads, to get the
ships over that part of the way. Nor

RICHEST NATION IN THE WORLD

The little republic of Panama starts
out as the richest nation, per capita,
in the world. It's population is some
thing less than 100000 and il will have
yearly income from the canal of
$250,0O0. Here is nation that starts
out with no debt and $40 pcr capita
in the public treasury with perpet-
ual income of so cents per capita to
pay running expenses. That is GER
tainly new thing under tie sun.
The expenses of the government of
large part of the territory, which is
put under the police control of tie
United States, will be paid by this
government. All the other expenses
could be paid out of the $25O.000 a
year which Panama viii always get
as rent for the canal right Thus we
will have country in which there
will be no taxes. That destroys the
saying, AS certain as death and
taxes" Nothing like it has ever been
known in the world before
All this is based on the slppositicn
that the money will be spent honestly
in which proposition few believe. The

gentlemen is to get Office, serve the

the people to pay them big salaries.
When the farmers in Nebraska come

find that that erd OF it has been looked

proflt on Sugar Beels.

The inquiry was made recently
through the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter
asking some one to point out where the
profit in raising sugar beets came in for
the farmer. Mr.. Myers of the Rock
County Sugar company gives his figures
as follows.
The cost of raising beets is about as
follows: Planting and narrowing the
same as for any other crop; seed g an
acre; planting SOC an acre when drill is
owned; cultivating, S1.50 an acre; hand
help mp to harvest, $40 an acre; harvest
ing 50 an acre; making a total cost
without land rent and plowing of $23
per acre. The average yield depends en-
girely upon the richness of the soil A
aumber of farmers are now delivering
over twenty tons per acre, but the aver
sge is about eighteen tons. The price
per ton was "a so for IA per cent beets
or under.
The freight within fifty miles of James
vile is so cents per ton, which the COM
psny divides with the grower.
And even now some of the bee Is being
delivered are bringing 30 to $3.50 per
ton. The standard price for November
delivery is 1870 per ton. The profit
may befigured from $50 to 800 per acres
