County Assessment Void.

The state board of assessment of all
railway property, but the board of com &
missioners of Stanley county at q late
meeting evidently believed the hoald
to have been derelict in its duty, as it
placed the White River Valley line, the
new extension of the milwaukee, road,
on the assessment roll of the county at
100000. The state board only assessed
that part of the road which was in
operation the LIST Of May, and the coun-
ty board attempts to assess the prop err

The Melon Patch.

The old question of whether or not
watermelon stealing is q venial sin is
up for consideration III an Iowa town.
This is the previous question which
Immediately becomes in order when
ever the owner Of melon patch shoots
some young man who has gone by
mig hit unlawfully to help himself to the
product of his neighbours toll. The
village always promptly divides, as in
the case of this Iowa town, where one
faction maintains that the man who
did the shooting should be sent to the
penitentiary, while the other half is Of
the opinion that the boy who did the
stealing should be sent to the reform
school 1T he RECEIVERS.
Legally, a man has a right to defend
his property, with gunpowder if neces.
sary But morally he should not go
beyond the point of defense. Y ou don't
need to shoot a nelghbor boy in order
TO keep him out of your garden, because
you can keep him out by less murderous
methods. 1t is true that the youngster
is taking his own chances when he goes
where he is forbidden to go, but he can
not reasonably be required to figure. on
the chance Of being shot. If he should
be caught by the farmer and thrashed
or be set upon by a bulldog, he would
have no complaint coming. But the
general fitness of things does not per
nit the classifying of melon stealing az
a capital crime

Shooting at Ferney.

Harry Lockhart was shot twice by
Tom Sloan at Ferney Friday afternoon
and is not expected to live.
Just what the quarrel was about is
not certain, but the men were in the
saloon at the time and Sloan shot Lock-
hart twice with a 80 revolver. The
bullet passed through his body, one
wound being just under the heart.
Sloan was taken to Aberdeen by a
posse consisting of Marshal Green, #
R. Buren, and ID. M. Thomas. This
action was necessary to save Sloan from
lynchlng, as the people we're enraged
over the affair.

Oklahoma's Size and Importance.

According to the federal census of
1900 the population of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory was 79O,39l, and was
pretty evenly divided between the two.
Each of these territories had a larger
population than any one Of the follow
ing western peest states: North Dakota Wy
.omlng. Montana, Idaho, and Utah; If
they had been combined as one state its
population would have exceeded that
of South Dakota or Colorado.
! Under special census, just taken.
the total population of the combined
territories is placed at something more
than 100000, or nearly double the
figure Of seven years ago. 1t exceeds
that Of Nebraska in 1909 and comes
close to. that Of Kansas in that year.
And the area of both territories COM
bined in less than that Of any of the
states that we have named.
Not only has the increase of popula-
tlon been very remarkable, but no state
on its admission has had SO large a
population or SO dense population.
The difference is SO very marked that
Oklahoma may be said to stand in a
class by itself AS the states stood in
1900, it would rank twenty third, next
to Kansas, and allowing forsthe prop
able increases elsewhere it should hold
that rank in 1910.

TREATMENT OF THE PIANO.
Things to BE Remembered il You
Would Preserve instrument.

When the cold wind blows outside,
or chilling rain beats down, do not in
your solicitude for your own comfort
forget the welfare of your poor piano.
That instrument is well known to
be as sensitive to cold, damp or heat
as the most confirmed invalid, and in
thousands of houses to-day the
domestic piano is treated with a
lack of regard that harrows the
spirit of the unfortunate tuner who
has periodically to come and act as
physician to il. '-'s
Never put your piano too near the
fire, as the heat. draws the wood. Do
not leave the window open close to
it on a rainy day, as the damp will
rust the wires and mold the instru-
ments interior
On no account should a multiple
city of ornaments be placed on the
top of the piano as it's tone is spoiled
in this way, and, finally it should be
noted that with too much furniture
and drapery in the room piano play
ing cannot be heard to the best ad-
vantage.

CHANGE IN FOOD

1t is worth knowing that change
In food can cure dyspepsia. I deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for

THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body is in per

CINE
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery OF the body

used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.
