A GOOD PLAN.

The long list of robberies commit ted in Douglas and vicinity during the past two or three weeks induces the people to believe that an organized band of skillful thieves is living in or near this city. Twice has a burg lar come near to killing a citizen while robbing him-once at the Ave nue hotel some few nights. since, and following. In the latter instance the obber fired two shots and would most likely have killed his man had the shooting not been in a dark room.
 From the following press dispatch sent out from Salt Lake City, Utah, our Douglas people may gather some ideas as to the best way of ridding themselves of this band of criminals, who, it is thought. are disguised in our midst:
 Reused by the shooting of Neph' M. Sheets, last evening, by q foot pad, who used his victims gun to kill his man, the citizens of Salt Lake City today started a movement to or ganize a vigilance committee for the protection of the citizens and to drive all suspicious characters from the city.
 .sThe death of Sheets was the climax to a score or more of holdups that hare caused a great deal of feeling here.
 sThe movement is headed by Thos | Homer, president of the Salt Lake Real Estate Association. It is intend ed 10 organize a committee Of 200 per sons to patrol the streets. A meet ing will be held tomorrow for the purpose of organization.
 Each citizen of the committee is ex pected to do special police duty during the next three weeks, in which the citizens assert they will drive every questionable character from the city
 "The governor, mayor and count! commissioners have offered s1200 il rewards for the slayer of Sheets. | is feared that should the footpad b' apprehended he will be lynched.'

The New York American is scandal ized by the discovery that the United States Canal Commission is shipping to Panama, on the steamer Melderskin by way of supplies" for the exca' vators, twenty dozen ladies nightrobes, twenty dozen dress shirts, six dozen suit cases, a case of five o'clock tea sets. and thirty-six work tables for ladies. Some of the goods were pur- cased. the buyer of the Canal Con- mission is said to have admitted, with part of the $61 .000, 900 expended on the Panama canal to date. The idea is that nothing is too good for the men that will finish the canal job in time say within twenty or thirty years. But what do the diggers want with the 5 o'clock tea sets. dress suits or the night robes. is not explained.

"The public has been given the false impression that eight hours is the us- ual work day in indoor trades, and the longer day the exception. This might result in the belief that the typograph- teal union seeks only to have it's day readjusted to present trade conditions. AS a matter of fact, with very few ex- captions, the hours in indoor trades are either ten or nine hours.
 "In view, therefore. of the impend- ing conditions, the members of the typothetae have taken steps to con tinue their business and are prepared to install competent non-union ma chine operators and other printers in their various composing rooms. These printers have been obtained by a canvass of the various parts of the United States by ieldmen represent ing the typothetae, and also by gradu- ates of the schools for machine opera tors now in successful operation in New York city. Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and else where. kln these schools. as our ex- per.ence shows, competent machine operators may be turned out in sixty to ninety days, and can produce more work than is now being produced un- der union conditions and restrictions oy men now in our employ.
 .&The publishers of the leading mag szines of the country have completed most of the composition of their maga- nnes for two or three months ahead In anticipation of the strike, and will therefore be subjected to little or no inconvenience.
 Not only are the publishers sup porting us in our stand. but the man. ufacturers tnrougnout the country are actively cooperating with us" E.

NEsRAsKk-s RsoEEMERs.

The Commoner notes the fact that when, in 1900, the republicans carried Nebraska we were told that Nebras- ka had been redeemed" But this was that kind of redemption for which the republican party is famous.
 The man elected to the office of governor in that year was sent to the Senate and subsequently indicted for wrong-doing in office. He escaped by an appeal to technicalities.
 The United States senatorships filled immediately following that redemp- tion were divided between rival rail road factions in Nebraska.
 Every republican gubernatorial nom inee chosen since that redemption was picked by the railroads. while the corporations have yielded complete control over the republican legisla. ture.
 President Roosevelt has found | necessary to remove from local fed erat offices at least six of these boast fui @redeemers' of Nebraska.
 One of these redeemers Was ap pointed by the president to a seat upon territorial bench, and later the president found it necessary to retire him.
 Subsequently another Nebraska Ire deemer" was sent to grace another territorial bench. That ''redeemer' lasted about ninety days, when ht was dismissed in disgrace.
 These Nebraska "redeemers" ar' not, after all. infaIlible. Things ar' not always what they seem; skinned milk nasquerades as cream" and thu many scandals connected with the of lficiai conduct of Nebraska redeem ers'' appointed to federal positioni Ihas made Nebraska jest in politica lcircies at the national capital.

Sympathy Not Needed.

DR.. Fridtjof hansen. Norway's ia
nous arctic explorer, now minister
to Gerat Britain, makes light of the
sympathy expressed by many persons
anent the .'hardships" of travellers. He
says: There never was such mis-
placed sympathy as commiserating a
man who has lived in the wilds. Most
men who travel in out-of-the-way parts
of the world do so because they like
it. People who live in the center of
what is called civilization do not I'M
derstand, cannot realize. the spell that
getting close to nature, battling with
nature, has on the heart" He does

Hay for p uItrY.

The suggestion that hay makes a
good winter food for poultry would
have been ridiculed d few years ago.
but experiments have proved that
clover hay Is now almost a necessary
portion of a hens cold weather diet
Glover hay for fowls should be cut
very fine, not over half an inch in
length, steamed and scalded and fed
once a day. A small quantity of corn
meal and bran sprinllled over the cut
hay will improve it. One reason clover
Is such an excellent food for hens Is
that 1t is rich in lime, substance the
hens require in providing the shells
for eggs. 1t is about equal to corn
as flesh producer and contains near
~ 80 times as much lime. 1t is plenti.
full on all farms and requires but little
time in preparation. After the green
food is gone 1t will keep the hens in
laying condition and increase the pro-
duction of eggs.

KEEPING OUT MITES.
How the Poultry Raiser Can Keep His
Hen House Clean.

The successful poultry raiser has
learned how to keep out mites. 1t
may well be doubted if any successful
poultry raiser can be found whose
houses are teeming with mites
Among the ways of keeping off the
mites are the following:
Have a house that is light and
large enough for the flock, and see
to it that it is we'll ventilated.
Have the roosts, nests. dropping
boards and all fixtures removable, sc
they can be cleaned perfectly, easily
and often.
Do not permit filth pf any kind tc
accumulate in this house. but make
sure that it is cleaned often.
The advice given by some is tt
treat the house once in two weeks tc
a busting with air-slaked lime and sui
phur.
The boxes for the sitting hens
should be washed In Kerosene Of
crude petroleum before being uset
in the Matching operations The straw
in such boxes should be burned afte
the hen is through sitting.
Lastly. watch the entire poultry es
tablishment to make sure that mite
do not get start.

NO MEDICINE.
sut Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes. oats. etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines. and IL we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago suffered with
bad stomach-dyspepsia indigestion,
stipation-caused, I know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
II doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. / could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides. and be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks began to feel better. and
inside of two months / was a well
woman and have been ever since.

pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts ant

THE AuTHoR-MAN's SURPRISE
Little Story with a Sequel That ID
Hard to Guess.

Upon certain day there was an
author-man who needed the money;
so he sat down and took up that OBJ
ject which Is reputed to be mightier
than the sword and wrote a piece.
Having finished his article, he went
to the post office, purchased some
milling stamps and mailed the piece
to the editor. Then he waited for the
child of his brain to make its way
back to his mantef piece. accompan-
led by warm note from the editor
saying that, owing to a redundancy
of similar matter, ne was compelled
to reject the piece, although this ac-
ton wrenched his heart strings to
such an extent as to almost drag that
organ from its mornings. However,
this rejection was to be considered as
In nowise a condemnation of the mer-
1t of the article, etc, etc.
The near-author waited a spell, but
the letter that he looked for but
dreaded, never came. Now. dear
reader, we give you three guesses as
to the fate of the manuscript. Nope;
all wrong. The piece was accepted.

A legacy to

from
Mrs. Sarah j. Polk, ls43.
From DR.. Polk
to Allen J. Polk, 1860.

A card in the back of the watch
showed that it had been repaired by
Thomas Gowdy of Nashville, Tenn.
December 1852. Under this card was
a circular piece of white silk, which
to one of romantic turn voiced some
tender sentiment of the past.
A remarkable thing about this old
and well-worn timepiece is that 1t still
runs.
The attention of Major Dorsey
Berry (who is one Of the Polk family
ON his mothers side) was called to
the watch and he Immediately placed
himself in communication with Mar.
shall Mayes Of Nashville, Tenn. In
reply he received letter from a d.
rect descendant of DIR. William J.
Polk, expressing bis appreciation of
his kindness and marveling over the
strange recovery of the watch Its
disappearance had always been a mys-
terry, though the supposition was that
it had been stolen during the war
In the letter was a check covering the

PUT DOWN "EopicArIoN~ IDEA.
Farmsrs's Plea Had Weight Among
Brother AgrieuIturists.

In the early forties, on a certain

for new schoolhouse."
The sturdy yeomanry were out In
force to fight down this proposition.
The sympathetic moderator didn't
moderate them worth cent. The
so-called 'toney" advocates, conscious
from the start of their numerical
weakness. were conciliatory and per
suasive, in the hope of thus winning
to their standard sufficient of the OPP
position to carry the day. These hopes
were dashed, however, when a vet

Our Dom este Turkey.

While there are differences of opin-
ion regarding the origin of our domes-
tic turkey it Is currently believed that
it came directly from the wild turkey
of the United States and Canada. One
writer expresses the opinion that the
original variety imported into Eng
land in 1920 came from variety that
formerly existed in the West IndiGs
and was afterwards exterminated by
the natives. This is guesswork. There
is apparently no good reason for go.
ing out of the way to hunt for any
other origin than that currently &C
cepted. What is known as the domes-
tic turkey crosses freely with the wild
variety, thus establishing close rela
tionship as having existed in the past.
