The team attached to the Com
mercial hotel bus took fright
when a passenger train pulled up
to the depot last Sunday evening

John Morford, who was in the
city from his farm 3 miles south
of MerEa, on Tuesday, Informed
us that his corn was in the hail
district last summer and as a
result is not yielding IS bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Morford has
been suffering with a lame back
for some time and its not, there

The Broken Bow steam laundry
patronage is increasing so rapidly
that Propr ietor Thomas found it
necessary to purchase more
machinery and has just added a
machine for starching neglige
shirts, an extractor and

machines doubling the former
capacity in the matter of wash

an addition will he built to the

enough room to comfortably
accommodate the new machines.
Last Friday the c. o. D.

ssiezed about two weeks ago.
About 80 gallons was captured in

there's about $500 more in the
possession of number of citizens
than there would be had the city
authorities permitted its sale in
the city contrary to the law.
