The wholesale grocers in their
National convention in Chicago
claimed credit for their indorse-
ment of the pure food legislation.
They should favor it. There is
no advantage in their backing
up crooked manufacturers and
working against the interests of
the consumers though it is
claimed that many of them, like
the retailers, still knowingly
handle and sell goods that are
under the ban, because they can
be bought more cheaply than the
purer articles. The wholesalers
have it in their power to assist
radically in the enforcement of
pure food laws by putting illegal
manufacturers on the black list.

There has been but a moderate
supply of cattle here this week.
Prices have generally ruled strong

Since July l it has been pos
sible to send special delivery let
tiers through the mails by affixing
10 cents worth of any kind of
stamps, in addition to the usual
postage, to a letter and marking
it Especial Delivery Hon.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, who
will deliver an address at the
Broken Bow Chautauqua on July
goth. was responsible for the
change and it is one of the most
sensible things he has ever done.
When it is most wanted to mail
special delivery letters, it is usu-
ally least possible to get into a
postoffice to secure the special
stamps for that purpose. The
amendment is simple and sane
legislation.

The dog days are approaching
and it is the time of year when
some people are inclined to throw
a few fits over hydrophobia.
There are many people who real
ly believe there is such disease.
There are others who are con-
WINGED the whole thing is a fake.
Whether real or true the sensa-
tional newspaper reports and
gossip about the matter has
tendency to brighten nervous
people. If they are bitten by
dogs they imagine they are going
to die a horrible death and so
great is the power of mind over
matter that some do. 1t is the
experience of men engaged in
the operation of kennels and
breeding dogs through long
periods of years, and of official
dog catchers, that there is no
such thing as rabies. They are
most frequently bitten and a
record of the Investigations made
among these men-the most like
ly to have died OF hydrophobia-
is that the stories are false. A
little more thought, less Mysteries
and ordinary care in the use of
antiseptics would prevent much
senseless fright. If you are Bit
ten by dog and the skin is bro
ken, wash the cut with a weak
carbolic acid solution and 60 on
about your business. The person
bitten is less likely to suffer than
If scratched by rusty nail.

Hayes Jewelry Store
Entered by Thieves
F. W. Hayes Sustains a Loss of Near
$500 by Thieves Who Broke a
Window and Entered.

There was much excitement
spread abroad in this city last
Saturday morning when it be-
came known that during the
night F. w. Hayes jewelry store
had been entered by burglars
who made cleanup of watches
and rings, the value of which
is about 500, forty-fve new
watches and sixty-three rings,
beside a number of brooches, be-
ing taken.
Mr.. Hayes had no fear of
burglars and recently has not
stored the jewelry in the vault at
night, which became known to
someone who lost no time in
going to it in highly successful
manner. The watches left for
repair we're in the vault, however,
whereat Mr.. Hayes jubilantly
shakes hands with himself.
The thieves were we'll up on
burgling tactics as is shown by
their adept work in gaining en-
trance to the store. On the rear
window they stuck fly paper and
that part of the window-glass
lhus covered was broken, the
pieces adhering to the paper and
N king no noise as it would by
falling, the paper also serving to
deaden the sound when the glass
was broken.
Three suspects were appre-
hended and put through a course
of sweating" but each proved
their whereabouts during that
night and we're released. Sus-
picion was also directed tc
another party who left the city
shortly after the robbery and a
surveillance is being kept or
him. 1t is sincerely hoped by
all, except the guilty ones, that
the burglars be apprehended and
given the severest penalty pre-
scribed by law.

at Comstock, July 4th.
J. I. Arthur arrived home from Mexi-
CO last Saturday. Tom says he never
missed feed while on his 20 day trip.
Another and himself were the only ones

Claus Marth intended to go to Omaha
to visit his mother, but thought he would
not take the time just now but go later.
The weather is ideal for all kinds of
grain.

Marsh, of Columbus, were over night
visitors at Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson's last

Mr.. Howard had the misfortune to
lose seven head of cattle, July 4th, by
falling into an old unused we'll. Such
accidents ought to be avoided by filling
when a we'll is abandoned. "A stitch in
time saves nine" or IAN ounce of pre-
ventive is worth pound of cure" holds
good in such case.
