CAMP OPRA.

Rain, rain, rain Rain is all right.
In fact we could not very we'll do
without it. Rain is even more necess-
ary than bridge, for it is quite pro-
bable that some of our citizens will
still be alive and in need of those
fruits of the soil, which rain helps
us to produce when the spring time
comes again, and the creek is once
more low enough to allow us to wade
it.
Once it was our fond hope that the
new year would bring us a bridge at
the Fills ford. In December our
supervisors we're given power to CON
ter upon us that much needed struc-
ture, and part of the Sutter fridge
has been Iusting on the bank of the
creek since last fall, waiting and
washing away by the action of the
elements, while still our supervisors
hesitate, and by their hesltancy keeps
US out OF everything that goes to
make the life of an intelligent COM
munity of people. Not only are we
left without bridge, but the roads
(such as they are) are left to wash
away for lack of water breaks. Does
any intelligent man doubt that one
man working on a road during a
storm is worth ten working in the
heat of early summer. when the road
work is generally attempted. 1t
would be mis-statement to say road
work is done at such times. 1t can
not be properly done after all the
rains. We need a bridge, we need
roads. The following lines by Wilder
GIahame describe our roads to per-
fection.
The Country Roads.
The pathway of life may be narrow
and steep;
But the road through the country
is sleeper,
The pitfalls and snares that beset us
are deep,
But the mud that surrounds US is
deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and
mud holes for drains,
And hard heads and bowlders for
gravel,
And broken down buggies on hill
sides and plains,
Give warnings like ghosts as we
travel.
Lank horses by work and abuse broken
down
Gaze at us from roadside and stable,
Young men reaching wistfuIIy out
towards the town,
Or seeking its portals when able.
Deserted farm houses, the fences de-
cayed,
And the breezes Through weed
patches blowing,
Where once happy children rejoiced
as they played,
Hide and seek when the field corn
was growing.
What joy for the youth as his long
ings expand.
In life so restricted and narrow
His prospects mid all opportunities
grand,
But to follow the plow and the
harrow.
Half banished from hope, and shut
out OF the world,
BY fiimsy but tangible curtain;
Society's pleasures away from him
hurled
The roads are $50 very uncertain. ~
There is little enjoyment in life scat
tered round,
And little Of profit or pleasure,
In roads where the bottom can
scarcely be found
With less than seven foot measure.
Let us seek some reform then at once,
ere we lose
All trace of our roads from our
annals;
And make surface roads that the
public can use,
Or else take the under ground
channels.
Mrs r. K. Horton.

CARMEN WAS REALLY STABBED
Almost Tragedy in Oscar Hammer.
STEMS Opera House.

New York, Nov. 11.-An audience
of 1000 at tho Manhattan opera
house, Oscar Hammerstein theater,
was thrilled at the matinee Saturday
by an accident that came near involv-
ing Mime. Bressler-G ianoli, the prima
donna, in tragedy.
1t was at almost the close of the
performance of Carmen The sing
er, who took the title role, is very
near sighted. At the point in the play
when Don Juan-who on this occa-
sion was Dalmores, the tenor-rushes
at Carmen to stab her, Nine. Bressler-
Gianoli, instead of stepping aside and
avoiding the uplifted dagger, stood ir-
resolute for an instant Before L al
mores could stay the motion of his
hand he had driven the keen knife in
to the singers wrist. The pain and
shock so unnerved her that she sank
upon the stage in a faint.
Seeing blood upon Dalmores' arm
and sleeve, many in the audience real
lied what had happened, but the cur
tain was rung down before the excite
ment could spread. Mrs. Haggin and
Mrs Johnson, who were in box, ran
upon the stage and assisted in staying
the flow of blood and in applying
restoratives Mr.. Marco was sum-
moned and dressed the wound. After
more than an hour of waiting Nine.
Bressler-Gianoli was relieved suffi-
ciantfy to be removed to DIR. Bulls
sanitarium, where it was said, the in
jury was severe.

A GROWING TOWN
The Gypsum Industry a Good
Thing for Blue Rapids.
Four Plants i'm Operation With
Two More Planned.
NATURALIZATION
So Far This Year Have Shipped
2,729 Cars of Plaster.
Sixty New Buildings Erected,
Most of Them Homes.

| Blue Rapids, Nov. 11.-For the last
| half dozen years there has been some
thing doing all the time in Blue Rapids
As one of her representative citizens
has truthfully said: I'VE have made
more substantial gain in population.
new buildings and more business houses
In the last three years than in any
dozen prior. Years ago when two men
were discussing why the town was so
| named, one of them spoke out that if
was because her people all looked blue.
which furnished the name Blue and the
rapids in the Blue river furnished the
RAPIDS to the name. Since then the
town has taken on new life and while
1t is still Blue Rapids the people also
point with pride to the Gem city of the
Blue river valley, which they claim is
Blue Rapids.
Blue Rapids has her commercial club
same as other towns. Now there is her
annual fish fry, only seven years DID,
which has made the unprecedented
growth from a mayor and council the
f1rst meeting to upwards of 500 the last
meeting.
Another boon for Blue Rapids is ]. c.
Lathrap. He is a great boomer Wher-
ever he is his town is always prominent
He is always at work for some enter
prise for the good of Blue Rapids
In five years, and this is about the
of many years duration there has been
over six miles of cement and brick
sidewalk laid down, of which over two
miles was completed this year. In the
year 1907, up to date, there has been
shipped out via the Union Pacific and
Missouri Pacific roads 2,729 car loads of
plaster. In the same time there was 436
car loads of grain and live stock for
warded, and $50 car loads received of
both lumber and coal. Besides the total
amount of miscellaneous profit re-
ceived in the same time was 1877 car
loads. f~z
The gypsum industry is a big boost
for Blue Rapids. Four plants are in
operation, with prospects of one or two
more before the close of 1905. The total
pay roll of these gypsum industries is
about $4,000 month or SITE, 200 to $780,
900 year. A disintereSted spectator has
said: with her gypsum enterprises in
sight and others to follow, Blue Rapids
has the solidest foundation of any town
in northeastern Kansas
The work of the contractor and
During the year now closing there have
been built go residences and business
buildings at a cost of not less than $685.
900. And the large majority of the
buildings are residences. The new
homes. many of them, are modern, and
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
The town is located in the banner
corn county of the state this year
her farmers will raise
no less than six million bushels.

CAPTAIN TYGARD TO PRISON.
No Hard Work VIII Be Assigned the
Feeble Banker.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 11.-Captain
F. J. Tygard, ex-president of the Bates
County National bank at Butler, Mo-,
was brought to the federal penitentiary
Saturday afternoon to serve a five-year
sentence.
He was taken to the prison hospital
and placed under the care of the physi-
clan. He is so feeble that he will be
allowed to remain in the hospital as an
attendant when he is able to be up and
about.
Captain Tygard could scarcely stand
when brought to the prison. He said
that his age was 70 or "A years, he didn't
know which. He has long hair and
long mustache. Major McClaughry, the
warden, gave orders to have the hair
and, mustache trimmed and not cut
short in convict style.
Captain Tygard is the twenty-first
national banker now in the federal pen

WILL COST $4,000.
Estimate for Provisioning Bob Evans
Battleship Fleet.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Every detail in
the preparations for the sailing of the
| battleship fleet to the Pacific ocean is
| now well in hand, and by December 16,
the date on which the vessels will pass
out of Hampton Roads in review before
President Roosevelt, members of the
cabinet and high officials of the navy,
arrangements for the comfort of the
men en- route will have been attended
to.
At all of the navy yards the work of
making necessary repairs is being
pushed, and these will be completed by
December 1. Provisions are being
stored aboard the vessels, and their
coal bunkers are being filled to their
capacity. Four anchors will be carried
by each vessel, SO as to be ready for
any emergency.
The cost of provisioning the fleet is
estimated at about $375.000, contemplate
ing the feeding of force of $1,000 men
for 100 days. Only this week contracts
were awarded for head cheese, sausage
and veal
Advantage will be taken of the two
ocean cruisers to make several tests
with the provisions aboard-the1r
preservation, packing and handling. 1t
is desired to find some suitable form of
.bagging in which to carry dried provis-
ions, as 1T is believed bags will az
ford the advantage of compactness and
greater facility in handling in d1Herent
places than if their contents were car
ried in boxes or barrels.
Incidental to the visit of the fleet TO
the Pacific coast the navy department
is making arrangement to obtain a
place for small arms firing there so as
to give the. men an opportunity for ex-
perience in that capacity. ,--.
1t may be that improved targets will
be established at Magdalena bay where
there is to be considerable target prac-
tice but the preference is to secure land
for the establishment of ranges to ac-
commodate 1000 men a day as at Guam
tanamo.

eating and imagined it was your food
that filled you; if you have felt your
food lie like lump of lead on your
stomach; if you have had bad. sour

Your stomach is overworked,
abused, tagged out. The gastric and
digestive juices are weak, the muscles
of the stomach are Jaded. and the
whole business needs new life. 1t needs
something which will take hold of the
food as it comes in and do the digest

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do that
very thing. They contain a most pow
