Bob Plummer, who was scalped by
his horse last week, Is not doing as
well as his physicians and friends
would like. The old scalp refused to
adhere and had to be taken entirely
off Ii seems TO be a case where skin
grating Is the only remedy available.
We understand several healthy
young people have expressed a will.
ingness to contribute pieces Of skin,
II the physicians conclude TO attempt
that operation.
The overflow OF the Marias des
Cygne bottom by the food OF water
ell last week has about subsidized.
For nearly week the track OF the
Interstate road was completely GOV.

WI. Bullock, Democratic commit.
teeman from Deer Creek, called Sat.
urday and favored US with renewal.
He recently purchased a farm in
Mound township, to which he will

Bullock is an old and substan sial
citizen, and his name has been promi-
neutly mentioned in connection with
the sherlff's race next time.

on Monday and favored us with re.
newal. He recently sold the old
home place near A noret, and pur
chased a iarin four miles from Pleas.

will move about the first OF March.
The Allmans are early settlers u
Bates county, honest, sturdy citl
zens, and we regret TO see them leave
the state.
Uncle George Blankenbaker, OF
Lone Oak, dropped In to see us while
in Butler Tuesday. The irosts OF
many winters have passed over Uncle
George and the ravages OF time have
left their imprint in silver hairs and
rheumatic pains, but when we sug.
gested that he had, OF course, retired
from active management OF his place
and hard work, We thought we would
have him to fight. He said he never
expects to quit hard work 80 long as
he is able to move around.
Gae In the Review, takes the fol-
lowing view of the anti pass meas

this state than other folks, and
what good will this anti-psss order
do one In ten thousand of them. We
never had q pass on q railroad In
our life, are not entitled to one and
never expect one, but il the railroads
want to give folks passes, why, let
them do 1t. Ii don't cost us any
more when We want to ride.
Respecting damages done by the
recent sleet storm the Appleton City
Journal quotes W r Rains, OF
Pleasant zap, as follows: IN the
timber and peach orchards the de.
struction was something horrible.
In many places the roads we're made

In their territory, Butler is perfectly
serene, for she has live set Of mer.
