is true that Ely's Cream Balm cures
catarrh, promptly and certainly. But

Hamilton wrote the following lines:
This hog was fed on Kansas corn. it's
Kansas bred and Kansas born: twill

small bites of Kansas meats. Poetic2

For Damages by Indians,

| a claim OF "A. j. Anthony and r
| M. Wright has been allowed by the
| United States government for prop
erty stolen and destroyed by the In
dams in Ford county nearly forty
years ago. The claim as allowed
amounts to $780,
Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Anthony went
to Ford county about forty years ago.
Fort Dodge had been established
prior to their coming but the Santa
F'e road was not built until several
years later. Indian depredations at
that time were not an uncommon
thing, although the establishment of
the fort afforded in some degree pro-
lection for life and property. Oc-
casionally, though, there would be
sudden outbreaks and the Indians
would steal or kill teams and cattle
and burn anything to be found in the
way of buildings.
In 1892 a bill was passed by congress
whereby claims of losses by Indian
depredations should be paid, when
the claim was fully proven, providing
the losses were sustained later than
than the year of 1865. Anthony and
Wright were in partnership in 1868
and were at different times the vic
Tins of Indian outbreaks White
men were Staying the buffalo and the
Indians in retaliation would kill or
steal the horses and cattle of the
whites. The last raid upon Wright
and Anthony which was taken into
account in the claim just allowed by
the government was in August 1868.
and this time the stables in which
large number of oxen and horses were
kept were burned
In 1872 the Santa Fe reached Dodge
City and with the road came more set
tiers and more hunting parties The
buffalo were killed or driven further
back and with the buffalo the Indians
drifted to remote places Twenty
years elapsed and then a law was
passed providing for the losses of the
Old Indian days. Later claim was
put in by Anthony and after the
elapse of more years the claim is al
lowed now at d time when the story |
Of Indian depredatfons seems some |
thing which belongs to another age.
Another claim from Ford county
has been made and will probably be
allowed This claim is for So, 900, for |

Remarks on H0ds.

Out at Colby the city council has
passed an ordinance removing hogs
from the city limits This law is
somewhat lame in that it does not
state what kind of hogs are referred
to. Every good town has more than
one kind of hogs to contend with and
to regulate as far as possible There
Is the man engaged in business who
clamors long and loud unless the local
paper gets out with Il gaUling gun
and fights every man in the country
who patronIzeS the mail order houses
and who never spends cent with the
local paper himself for the reason that
other merchants are advertising the
town enough. While this alleged
business man is arguing that the
newspaper is failing to do its duty
the chances are that the publisher of
the paper is turning down good adj
vertising contracts from Kansas CITY
and Chicago department houses. If
the Colby people enforce the new law
it will drive some of the business
men. who believe il is possible to
have good town without newspapers
out of the city limits.-Smith County

Who will be privileged or authoriz-
ed to make denatursd alcohol, how
much is it going to cost per gallon
for light and fuel, and when and how
will it reach the market, are few of
the questions being asked by the pub
lie We do not know that we are
equal to full or satisfactory answers
which must come later. However.
this much can be said: Complete
copies of the Iax-free alcohol bill as it
passed the senate remove all question
as to the good faith of the amend
ments added by the senate commit
tee- There is to be no administra-
tion tax, and no particular denatur-
ing material as specified. 1t was on
these two points that the principal
danger in amendment was supposed
to hinge. An appropriation OF $780,
600 out of the general funds of the
treasury is appropriated to cover the
cost of administration. In fine, so
far as the face of the bill reads it
provides simply that manufacturers
Of alcohol may set aside in a bonded

purpose, such alcohol as it is proposed
shall be rendered unit for drinking.
When the denaturing material has
been added under the eye of a govern
ment inspector the product may be
sold free of tax. The house naturally
accepted the amendments and sent
the bill to the president without re-
curing it To run the rapids of a con-
ference committee.-Wic Eagle. |

A n army officer tells of an incident
when his troop was camping at one
time in the Ozark mountains.
There was queer old fellow, a
resident of that section, who found
the company of the soldiers very at
tractive, and spent much of his time
hanging around the camp. He was
great on telling of his achievements.
and the soldiers encouraged him in
this. According to his own story, he
was one of the most wonderful fisher
man, huntsman, in fact all around
sportsmen that part of the country
had eyer known. And he didn't stop
at that. He was an orator, states
men. church member, and about every
thing else in the catalogue.
One day when he had spent an
hour or so in the camp. telling Of his
characteristics, big trooper looked
up from his gun he had been cleaning.
Say, boss" he said, ''Ah bet you
all mighty fine singah, too"
what makes you think that?''
was the response to this fiattering re-

'Well, now" said the trooper.

TOWLE OPERA HOUSE.

The Real Widow Brown" holds a
reception at the Towle opera house
Tuesday, Jan /, under the watchful
eye of Mr. a. @. ScammOn. This lady
is a real parsonage and about her
hinges some of the most amusing com
plications ever introduced into farce
comedy. Her attendant merry makers
comprise some of the cleverest comedi-
ans and condolences on the stage. She
is a devout admirer of bright, up-to-
date songs, and captivating dances; and
the play abounds with them. She is
also a stickler for fashion, and the cos
tunes are chic and rare.
The play was built for laughter, so
do not be mislead, for if you are really
of a serious turn of mind, don't go.

mate artists in "Othello," etc.

TEACHERS ARE CRITICISED.
Buerk Says Pupils Promoted TO Higher
Branches Are Lacking in
Preparation.

In an address delivered Wednesday
afternoon at Indianapolis at the, open
ing session of the county superinten-
dents convention, at the state house
H. A. Buerk. principal of the New
Albany high school, made some very
blunt assertions in regard to eighth
grade students who are received into
the high school
What kind of material do we re
ceive from the eighth grader" he ask
ed the superintendent. And what
preliminary training for the high
school work is done in the eighth
grade? My experience is this-that the
great majority are well prepared for
the work, but that a small per cent
are thrown into the high schools be
cause they have spent the allotted time
in the grades and the authorities wish
to get rid of them. The high school is
thereby fncumbered with a body Of
deficient pupils from the beginning of
the school who for four years from
a body of delinquent students, the work
for which is not easily adjusted to
the normal work of the school. AS for
preparation I find the eighth grade
graduates weak in grammer and gram
matical construction, and in certain
mathematical principle. The first Is no
ticeabie as soon as they begin to study
English, Latin and German, the sec
ond when they begin the study OF
algebra.

to number ten theaters.
1t was learned this afternoon that

morning for the purpose of completing
arrangements for a theater there.
However, the talk about a ten theater
circuit seems to be a myth and is prob
ably no more than a little cleverly
