The Homestead Combination.

How much money will the average
farmer of Winneshiek county clear
this season? Every man, woman and
child in this county is directly OF
indirectly interested in this question
for agriculture is at the basis OF all
prosperity. Weather market con-
ditions and many other causes Will
enter into the calculation, but the
energy. industry and good common
sense of the farmer and his family
are most important factors. Our far
mers are the most progressive in the
country and are always ON the alert
for the newest and best methods.
Many of them are subscribers for The
Homestead, of Des Moines, Iowa,
an expondent Of both practical and
scientific agriculture; and many more
seeing each year the Importance of
reading good agricultural paper.
The Public Opinion is glad to an
nounoe that we have made excellent
clubbing arrangements with The
Homestead. Come in and subscribe
for it next time you are in town.
1t will cost you but small amount
in comparison with its value, and it
will help you to make money with
your farm.

Evidence of a Cure.

A fond mother, in despair of break
ing her little boy of swearing, at last
threatened that the next time he used
bad word she would Danish him
from home. The very next day he
exploded big D.
II am very sorry, Thomas" said
the fond mother, but Il have never
broken my word to you, so you must
leave home.''
The nurse was instructed to pack
Thomas little toy suitcase, and he,
without whimper, kissed his
mother good-hy and departed.
Quite ways of Thomas set his
burden on the ground, and, perched
solemnly on the curb, chin in hands,
fell into deep thought. TIE spectacle
was too much for the fond mother,
who was watching him from a dis
lance.
Very quietly she started down the
street and tiptoed up behind Master
Thomas. AS she was lowering on the
point of surprising him with kiss,
a pompous old gentleman appeared.
Child" he said, Twill you-hum
tell me where Mr.. Franklin
lives?"
Thomas raised his solemn brown
eyes and, regarding the old gentle
man coldly replied: "You go to

To Develop Mines.

A mining company has lately been
formed here for the purpose of proving
up lead ore prospect on the Henry
Files farm on Miners creek. The
company when first organized was
composed of the following share
holders: F. A. Soeffier, w. l.. Fried.
lein. Fred Allenstein and John Pins,
but later Friedlien sold his interest
to Allenstein and Pins sold one-half
of his interest to his brother, b. H..
Pins. A twenty-eight foot shaft has
been sunk and considerable mineral
taken out. Drifts are now being run
which are producing still greater
encouragement. Work in the mine is
handicapped to some extent on account
Of water, but should the prospect
develop into what it now indicates
q pump will be installed. Some
fattering offers have already been
received from different parties for
stock in the mine, but the owners
say that stock is not for sale, as they
have the necessary capital required to
work the mine. Here's hoping that
the mine will turn out to be what the
owners anticipate. -Guttenburg Press.

Farmer Uses Acid for Eve Wash.

BY mistaking carbolic acid for an
eyewash John Cropser, farmer liv-
ing west OF Nashua probably will
lose the sight of one of his eyes.
Cropser kept bottle of medicine,
which he was applying to his eyes
on shelf in the pantry. Some mem
Der of the family had been using car
bolic acid as a disinfectant, and
placed the bottle by the side of that
containing the eyewash. When Crop
ser went to apply the medicine to
his eye he took by mistake the bottle
containing the acid. AS soon as he
had dropped it into his eve he was
nearly crazed with pain. The eye was
soon swollen and Cropser started at
once for Charles City to consult a
specialist. The latter informed him
that the sight of the eye was prob
ably destroyed.

Train Left the Rails.

A bad wreck happened to passenger
train 81, about 90 miles southeast OF
Fayette, Monday afternoon. At a
point half mile southeast of Bear

derailment of the engine tank and
the overtuining of the postal car, the

twisted from beneath it and was set
outside the rails but not overturned.
There were fifteen or twenty pas

passengers were considerably shaken
up ana tossed about ana few were
somewhat bruised, although not
