The session of congress just
about to close, has certainly
been one that will be remem-
bered for sometime to come. The
rate bill, meat bill, statehood
bill and pure food bill have all
been considered and discussed
thoroughly and all have been
passed except the pure food
bill which is now under discus
sion and will probably be passed
before the close Of the session,
which will probably be Friday
or Saturday of this week. The
past year has been one of ex-
posure OF the secret rates and
rebates existing among certain
railroads and large business Ell
terprises, and which was the
direct cause for the famous
control measure. The fines
imposed on several railroads
recently Go not have much cf-
feet and it would seem a
fine of $4,000 would be merely
a small matter for a large cor
poiation to pay; however, we
presume these matters will be
taken care of later. The ex-
posure of the packing industry
in Chicago will be a good thing
for the packers in the end for
there should be no question as
to the cleanliness of their pro-
duets. just recently an officer
of the British army came over
to America to inspect the goods
being purchased for that army,
and this is rathersa serious re-
Election on our goods IN

Newspaper notoriety has
been criticised but that is about
the only way publicity can be
given any important matter,
and of course the press agents
of those corporations expostu-
late and try to make it appear
that the country is being ruined
to a certainty.

MANS WEAKER HALF.
One side of His body Always stronser
Than the Other


Tlio popular belief is that the left
side is M4afcf than the right. and, as
in all popular beliefs, there is mucn
truth in this. In most cases, says the
Grand Magazine, the right arm is de-
cidcdly stronger than the left, the
bones arc larger and the muscles more
vigorous
When we come to consider the lower
limbs, however, we find Il precisely op-
posite state of affairs; the left leg is
stronger than the right in the great
majority of eases. This want of sym
mctrs is noticeable all through the
body. Nine times oWt of ten we sec

Monday was a day Of disas-
ters in our community. G. G..
Cooper was driving his fat cat
tie to market, past the farm Of
j. w. Pratt. His son James
was cultivating corn witha pair
of young mules, which took
fright at the cattle, and ran
away, throwing the driver off,
and laid the cuitiv&tor ia Badg-
err Or the dry dock for repairs.
Fortunately there was no other
damage done them and the
cattle went a short distance
further and while crossing No.
3 bridge on the Soldier, the
middle span went down with a
crash, taking about a dozen
steers with it, breaking the leg
of one, and otherwise manning
several others. The one with
the broken leg was hauled to
Modale in a wagon.
1t is the wish of this ccrnmu-
nifty that the Supervisors give
our broken bridge their immc-
dlate and personal attention and
build us a good, up-to-date iron
bridge. We think the public
deserve it at this point.
Our county will have to meet
g damage claim on account Of
some ones negligence or poor
judgment.
j. L. Motz attended a horse
sale at Grand Island, Neb., a
few days ago, and bought a car
load of % head, and shipped
them to Modalc.

Our schools have all closed,
and the school marm's have
been visiting the proper Off
cials to procure the compensa-
ton for their labors.
Grand ma Motz had a dizzy
spell a few days ago, causing
her to fall across a chair, frac-
turing a rib, and otherwise bru-
SIM her. She is still confined
to her bed.
S. l.. Vittitoe died the 1et!
inst, of creeping paralysis, al
ter being afflicted several
months. Funeral services were
held at the residence OH Mon
day 18th, sermon by Elder Mill
er, of the U. 3. Church. The
deceased was a kind father, af-
fectionate husband, and good
citizen. He leaves q wife ard
three children 2 sons and one
daughter and many friends to
mourn his death. The bereaved
family have the sympathy Of

AS Ii Now Stands.

The fight has been bitter and
at times partaking of a DISPOSE
tion to divide the party
rather than acknowledge a de-
feat, to disrupt the republican
party, but now, as Cummins has
secured a clear majority of the
delegates to the state conven-
tion, it is reasonable to suppose
that a calmer spirit will prevail
with the republicans. As it is
now reported, Cummins S29.
Anti-Cummins, 749.
Necessary for a choice 82l.
Cummins majority 8.
In the counties yet to select
delegates there are 81 Cummins,
and IL anti-Cummins delegates
yet to appoint, which will not
change the general result. 1t
is possible, however, that seve-
raj counties may be contested,
but it so, it will not be possible
to effect any material change
in the final result, unless it is
intended by some to disrupt the
republican party. History, we
are told repeats ITSELF" The
Democratic party went into the
Charlston Notional Convention
in a divided condition, deter
mined to rule or ruin, neither
side willing to compromise or
reason, and the result has been
a divided democratic party ev-
er since. Better learn wisdom
from experience.
All who desire to enter the
Cummins band wagon, better
do so now while there is room.

Congress should have passed
a pure food bill at the present
session, but congress has done
so much it was not expected to
dothat one is not disposed to
be harshly critical. We have
been waiting for national pure
food legislation for a good
many years, and our stomachs
will probably stand the racket
for a few months more if it
shall be necessary.

Weat'rer=Crop Bulletin
Des Moines la June 25.

Complaints of dry weather
were siIenced by tie generous
showers that refreshed vegeta-
ton in all districts OF tic state
in the early part OF the past
week. The amounts reported
range from light to heavy, but
there was no place left un-
Watered, and there were no dcs-
tructive local downpours. Cool
nights and partly cloudy
weather prevailed most Of the
week. Conditions were favor
able fcr oats, wheat, barley and
grass, and We're not at all detri-
mental to the corn crop, which
has been thoroughly cleaned
and has made fairly good pro
gress, giving promise Of being
fully up to the average height
and stand by July 1st. The
pastures are now in good con
dition, and the Lay crop has
been improved, though the
yield will be below the average.
Early haying is in progress.
Garden truck and the late berry
crops have received much bcne-
fit. The general agricultural
outlook is quite satisfactory.

INSANITY ON GAIN
 THROUGHOUT LAND

DUBLIN, Ireland. April 1S.-The increase of insanity in Ireland is giv- ing grounds for the gravest explana- tions. When all explanations are made. that with a decreased and de- creasing population, there is a large increase. however, the appalling fact remains not relative, but absolute in the number of insane.
 Worst of all, that increase appears to be progressively absorbing each year a larger proportion of the pop ulation. It is for this reason that the proceedings in the royal commis- sion to inquire into the causes and remedies of insanity, the treatment of the insane with a view to proven ton and cure, are of especial interest in this country.
 The evidence of Sir Christopher Nixon shows that the causes are many and varied. However, to the insuffi- cient nourishment, Sir Christopher de. votes great attention.

GUARD AGAINST DISEASE
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF DOUG LAS PEOPLE BY BOARD OF
 HEALTH.

DOUGLAS. April 1S.-(Special.)-
 All the residents of Douglas take a natural pride in its health, cleanliness and order. The board Of health has, from time to time. passed various or dinances for the promotion of the ob- jects mentioned above. but they have not, as a rule. been observed, owing to the general lack of knowledge as to just what is required For this req son it has been thought best to pub lish brief summary of what the law is, so that all may aid in it's enforce ment. IL is not intended to give the full text of all ordinances, but to mere ly give the substance of those which affect the daily life of nearly all ciri- zens.
 All residents are required to keep their ashes, garbage and rubbish of all kinds in proper receptacfes. There must be separate receptacles of ashes, garbage and rubbish. The first two must be metal or metal lined. with a four inches of the top.
 All lots must be kept clean, and both the owner and the tenant are respon- sible.
 No paper, rubbish or cans shall be thrown on vacant lots or streets.
 No cesspools skall be built in the city without a permit for the same, and only in accordance with such per nit This includes vaults and privies.
 All bicycles must carry bells, and als2 lights at night.
 The city has arranged for a free scavenger service. and as soon as schedule can be arranged it will be published, and the citizens can know when the wagons will be around. This free service will not interfere with any private arrangements that may be made. It is optional as to which ser vfce is patronizel. but tsse city must hc lsert css--.
 Reasonable time will be given citi- zens to equip themselves with proper cans. but they must be provided and kept as required.
 This dces not by any means cover all the ordinances but simply gives the most important points covering the- health of the city, which apply 10 all alike.
 A member of the health board to- day stated that the board is reluctant to invoke the aid of the law, and ap- peais to all good citizens for their as- sistance. but the ordinances must be obeyed. and all officers have received instructions to file complaint against every offender.
