your feed. Corn chop, kafir chop, bran
shorts and chicken feed always on hand
Henderson Garten came up from the
Cherokee country in Oklahoma the FRS
OF the week to take look at things
generally.
Since the review Of the tornado was
put in type this week we learn that
Uncle John McCoy's condition is again
worse and not at all encouraging.
Park Moomau lost 2-year-old red
muley heller in the storm. She is
branded 7 on hip. If any person
knows OF her whereabouts, he will con-
slider 1t favor if such person will notify
him.
Just little ahead Of all the rest Of
EN- are Ouirk' views after the storm. +"
A fine collection Of large views and post
/ cards and he is now adding a collection
OF stereoscopic views These will be
the best Of all and not expensive either.
c. H. Kerlin Of Cambridge City, In
diana arrived last Wednesday to look
alter property interests. He owns a
farm near Isabel and one south of Medi-
cine Lodge and usually makes a Trip
west once a year. He is a railroad

sharp. These services will be wholly
informal and are held to secure the
greatest amount Of comfort to the great
est number Of people.

OF the insurance companies was doing
the city last week after the storm and
great many policy holders may expect
raise when their policies are rewritten.
1t seems that after a community is afflict-
ed with losses it is convenient to revise
rates and the excuses on which rates are
raised are ridiculous. Nothing is too
technical to escape the eye Of the ever
alert insurance company.
We have just learned that some Of
the pessimistic newspapers and people
generally who have never ventured out
Of the efete east are sneering at and
doubling the claim that one Of Senator
Long ponies was found in the forks of
tree on Elm Greek, two miles from
home, the day after the tornado. If
necessary. the men who found the pony
will make affidavit to the truth of the
statement and then if any Of them have
the nerve to shout "iar" we'll send a
delegation Of Medicine Lodge giants
east to land on them la Jefries.
Since the tornado there has been
grand rush for insurance and il is safe
bet that the companies got as much
money back as they paid out. A great

surance learned differently and where
verbal contracts were alleged the ad-
