WIDE TIRES NEEDED.

Every farmer needs one or two low
wheeled. wide tired wagons on the
farm. They are the most convenient
for every kind of work in which a
wagon is used especially for hauling
manure. filling the silo. hauling grain
corn, fodder, etc \ wide tired wagon
hauls easily and does not cut up the
land. and also saves much back ach-
ing labor in loading and unloading
manure. seed grains weed, hay. straw.

will FIT any wagon. They cost but

SPECIAL. FARMING.

Almost all Of the farmers in our
county have given up keeping neat
stock and sheep, and are giving their
attention to growing potatoes. They
are keeping just COWS and hogs
enough for their own use.
Milk and butter are scarce and beef
is being imported from the West to
supply our markets. Butter has also
been brought in from the creameries
in the western part Of the State. Our
spring is very backward and farmers
are behind in their work Not nearly
as much blowing was done last fall as
usual consequently more had to be
done this spring. thus making a ne
cessity for more horses which have
been brought in here in large num-
bers. and have sold for high prices.

Death of Unfortunate Man.

Last Friday there appeared on our
streets man who acted strangely and
as if intoxicated Chief of Police Thrash
er took him in charge and soon ascer-
tanned that the man was victim Of cpl
lepsy. 1t was learned from him in his
rational moments that his name was
John Swisher, that he hailed from Lone
Rock, and that he had relatives in this
city. Upon the relatives being informed
they undertook to care for him, but on
Monday found it impossible because OF
his raving, destructive spells; and sum-
moned Chief Thrasher to again take
charge of him. This Mr.. Thrasher did
and temporarily locked him in the city
hall cage, where he was found dead &
few hours afterward
The body was properly cared for By
an undertaken and shipped to Lone
Rock Tuesday for burial. He was un
married and about a. years of age. A
sad affair, indeed.
