The writer laughs and thinks
it's a good joke when some Of
the county newspapers say:
"Hiram Higbee has sold his Hol-

course, it is the thing, when
they say: 'Algie Van Pooches-

continent with a $4,000 bull
terrier from the Epson-Squirtem

Oh, that's great. That bull pup

Questad Farmer Writes.

Questad, N. D. March 4, 1904.
Editor, Of Independent.
noticed an article in your
paper time since, from a Ward
County middleman, and have a
few remarks that might be agree
able to some OF the readers to
read. The agreement that the
Ward 20. middleman' uses
about credit points to a system
that is fast loosing it's hold on
farming communities OF the
country, because the time has
come when all things are
worth money and casl. at that,
not promises. Farmers can sell
their produce as well as any one
else. They only need to send their.
produce to the produce man OF.
the large cities who will pay
them cash and more cash than
home merchants will allow them
for their goods. The home mer-
chant takes the farmers pro-
duce and sells it to the produce
man Of the large cities and he
makes a profit on the purchase,
you may be sure that he does
not sell it at the same figures
that he gives the farmer for it,
and that added sum that he
realizes sticks to his fingers in
stead Of to yours. So to day a
farmer may he said to be a man
who can sell for cash and can
buy for cash, it only needs the
initiative. That initiative is be-
ing taken in large proportion
daily at present time and this
condition does away with the
little strings Of the pay-you-in
the-fall days.
Our home merchants claim the
right to buy where he can buy
the cheapest whether it be from
the farmer or in Kansas City in
New York or elsewhere, it is also
true that he exercises that right,
for instance it is related that a
man went into a merchants
place and asked for some cabbage
The merchant praised his wares
and wound up by saying, those
cabbages, he had shipped in from
Wisconsin more than 500 miles
away. Knowing that there were
plenty Of cabbage for sale by
farmers OF the customers locali-
ties. The question was asked
the merchant why he did dot buy
the produce from those who
bought OF him. "Well yousee" he
explained we can get Wisconsin
cabbage laid down in our store
for the same as we have to pay
for home stock, and these'' Civ.
ing the crate a kick" are soldier
than any we can buy here. How
hollow is their cry then, buy O.
the home merchant who takes
your products.
The mail order plan is the cash
versus the credit system ove1
again, by buying for cash we dc
away with bad debts. Oul
country merchants have the bat
debt proposition to take carr
Of, and they who pay him promt
ly have to stand the expense O
these bad debts.

LONG BEACH. Nov. 2s.-The resi-

TIE San Pedro Lumber Company, was
footed by burglars last night in so COM
plete a manner that the place will prac-
ticaIly have 10 be refurnished. Almost
everything which two men could move
was taken, and the booty includes in
addition 70 many valuable trinkets all

The burglars used a wagon to haul
away their Dlunder, and although the
vehicle was seen on the streets before
daylight this morning no trace Of 1t
can now be found by the officers. The
Goodhue family was away from home.
The thieves therefore had the entire
night in which TO work.
The residence adjoins that Of Fire
Chief Shrewsbury, but he heard no
noise during the night
The home OF Mrs. J. B. Webster. a
short distance away, was also looted In
an almost identical manner. the thieves
taking even the mattresses from the
beds.
This makes seven such burglaries
here within three weeks, the burglars
IN each case selecting house from

ATTEMPT MADE TO HOLD UP
THE CALIFORNIA LIMITED
Shots Fired Into the Engine Cab Of
Train While Passing Through
Colorado

SALIDA, Colo, Nov. 2s.-It has de-
Veloped that attempts were made to
hold up two westbound Denver and
Rio Grande passenger trains instead
Of one at Gordon Siding on Saturday
night. Only the attempt on No. l.,
known as the Denver and Ogden Ex-
press, was reported to superintendent
Lukes at Salida. This was the second
and principal assault by the train rob-
bers.
The first attempt was made on the
second section Of No. 5, known as the
California Limited. This was not re-
ported to headquarters Saturday
night, as the train crew thought the
shots fired into the cab came from
guns in the hands of persons who
wished to be revenged on the railroad
for either a fancied or real cause
Some of the trainmen still cling to the
revenge theory, but others hold that
a gang of train robbers is operating in
Chaffee County.
OF the two shots fired at No. one
plowed its way through the cap of
Fireman Arthur and tore a tuft of
hair away.

DOAN'S PILLS.
A GREAT TRUTH.
HOV Il H8S Spread From Home to
Home in San Francisco,

In every part OF San Francisco, IN
the homes OF the wealthy, in the
humble abode OF the man Of toll, 'tis
now a well-known fact-a great truth
that Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought more comfort TO backache
sufferers and cured more sick kidneys
than any medicine OF modern time
John Lewis, tailor, rear OF 72I
Bush street, says: AN attack OF ma
laris, as in the majority of instances,
was followed by inactivity OF the kid
neys and a lameness and soreness
across the small OF my back. Sitting,
as / am compelled TO do, partially
stopped, strained the muscles of the
loins, and aching ensued, and when
straightened / could only describe the
twinges which shot through the small
OF my back as excruciating. With
the passing OF time the pain increased
until I was compelled TO stop work
! knew something had TO be done or
my case might become serious, and
commenced taking standard remedies
guaranteed TO cure kidney complaint
IN any OF Its various forms. The re-
suits obtained from the medicines
ceased the moment I stopped their use.
and, ever on the outlook for some
thing 70 bring relief, I at last tried
Doan's Kidney Pills. ! knew after
dose or two they were acting di-
rectly upon the kidneys, and a con-
tlnuation OF the treatment absolutely
stopped the last attack. l have told

quaintanoes about the benefit | have
