While crop conditions in Mississippi
are usually good, there are spots where
the crop is reported as being very
poor. Fully 10000 and possibly 80, 900
acres of fine cotton land was still under
water on July l, which precludes the
possibility of crop on it. This land
is in front of the levees and is very pro-
ductive. The corn crop is larger than
ever before and is fairly good all over
the State.

FACES CHARGE OF
DOZEN DESERTIONS
Private Placed on Trial at Pre-
sidiO After Thirteenth En-
Iistment in Army


No. lS was the undoing of Private
Daniel sheehan, said to be one of the
most notorious deserters the army has
ever known, who was tried by a court
martial at the Preside yesterday. The
finding will not be made public until
the case has been reviewed by General
Funston.
In one year Sheehan enlisted in the
United States army 1S times, in 1s
different regiments. and 12 times he
deserted. Twelve times he got away
with it." but when he appeared at the
Preside to enlist for the thirteenth
time ne was recognized and arrested.
Twelve times the man pawned or
sold the uniform furnished to him bv
his thoughtful Uncle Sam. and each
time he enlisted he did so under a new
name and in civilian garb.
His first enlistment was at a post in
Washington. After two days of drill
he drilled out of camp. and. like the
lost Lenore," whom the poet declared
he should see ''ah, never more.'' he
became totally invisible to the naked
eye. II was after that disappearance
that Sheehan commenced his series of
rapid fire enlistments. When he
turned up at the Presidio he was shah
billy dressed, but was recognized from
a description sent by the war depart
ment to all army posts.
Major John W. Ruckman of the. coast
artillery corps was president of the
board which passed on Sheehans case.

It's hard to keep an even temper with a dull pain nagging all day at your back; in fact, kidney troubles are at the bottom of very much of the nervousness and irritability that are so common to-day. You wonder why you are short and cross, can keep your mind on one thing, are in- clined to worry over trifies, and sub- feet to fits of blues and despon- dency. Partly it is due to that pain in your back, partly to the irritating effect of uric acid on your brain and nerves.
 Uric acid is poison that is always forming in the body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to filter it out of the blood and pass it off, dissolved, in the urine. Healthy kidneys do this work thoroughly and well, but weak or sick kidneys get behind, and the waste matter collects here and there in the muscles, joints and nerve cea- ters. Headache, dizzy spells, rheuma- tism, neuralgia. blurry spots before the eyes, nervousness and heart trou- ble, are signs of uric poisoning. So do not wonder at your condi- tion, especially if the urine does not look or pass naturally And if your

In the morning when I arose, my back was so lame and stiff that would hardly be able to stoop or even get about. I was tired and weary and had no ambition. Deans Kidney Pills, procured at H. w.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday afternoon. Bernie Fay
OF this city, an employee of the G. N w.
Ry. Co., aged 81 years, was seriously in
jured and bruised at about 3 O'Clock
by being run over by an automobile
He was going down Washington street
hill, near the city hall when he met the
Winkley house bus and turned to the
right TO pass the same. The automo-
bile of Frank Bissell, of Edgar, which
was being driven by himself and in
which were Mrs. Bissell and Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Gamble, all of Edgar, was
back OF the 'Scs going at slow pace
and Mr. Bissell, lie. seeing the bicycle
rider, turned to the left to pass aud en-
countered Mr.. Fay on his wheel; he was
hit and run over by the automobile, the
wheels of the heavy machine passing
over the right side of the young mans
chest, which rendered him unconscious
He was taken to st. Mary's hospital,
since which time everything possible
has been done for him that might place
him on the road to recovery. He was
unconscious Saturday and most of the
time Sunday. Now, at times, he wakes
up, talks little and then drops off to
sleep again.
He complains of severe pains in his
head, and his injured side His physi-
clan says that if complications do not
set in, he will survive. 1t was an I'M
fortunate accident in which no one was
to blame, the high bus between them
making il impossible to see one an
other until it was too late.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

The executive board of the Marathon
County Agricultural society held a
meeting Saturday evening in the office
of Zimmerman & Rowley for the pur-
pose of discussing certain matters.
The main thing talked about was the
action of the city council upon the
society's proposition to give the city
the use of the grounds during the sum-
mer in consideration of a donation of
$500. This proposition was made at
the last meeting of the council, and was
referred to the finance committee.
The sentiment of the executive
board Saturday night was that if
that sum cannot be obtained,
then a smaller amount will be
accepted. Heretofore, until last
year, the city has taken the fair grounds
park each year and in return gave the
society $780, Last year the council
gave $500 and in addition thereto the
sum of 800 towards paying the expense
of building a cookery. The society's
executive board feel that they are not
asking any too much when the priv
leges given, convenience to the public
and expense OF caring for the grounds
are considered. Until last year there
was q kitchen in name only on the
grounds. Now the public has the adj
vantage of neat, handy little cookery
and steel range, where meals can be
cooked at any time. Last year the at
tendants at thirty picnics used this
kitchen and range. About twice that
number of basket picnics were held on
the beautiful grounds. Those who at
tended those picnics appreciated the ar
rangement whereby the grounds were
open to the public and the executive
board feels that the public will show
the same appreciation this year The
society is not money making organic
ation-it is always hard up-and board
members feel that they are not asking
too much, provided the city is fnan-
cialIy able to make the donation.
The matter OF closing the grounds
in case the council does not make
any donation was also discussed,
and this action will probably be taken
in that event, for the man employed on
the grounds to clean up after picnics
can be used elsewhere, in making re
pairs, ETC., from now TIL next October.
However, committee was appointed
to go TO the city hall at the next regu-
lar meeting of tie council and talk over
matters with that body This commit
tee is composed of s. NJ Quaw, +. G.
Zimmerman and Aug T. Marquardt.

WILL FEED THEM TROUT.

AT the suggestion of Neal Brown
president of the Wisconsin Automobile
association, that the Milwaukee Auto
mobile club make an endurance tour to
this city this summer, the clubs mem
bers have taken the matter up and
arrangements are at present being
made to carry out the plan. The date
of the start has not been settled upon
as yet. Relative to the same, Mr.. Brown
has written James t. Drought, secretary
of the club, the following letter:
My DEAR JAMES / received some
COMMUNICATIONS from you a short time
ago in reference to the proposed endur-
ance tour of the association to Wausau
Don't know what your definite plans
are in reference to this stunt, but will
welcome you to all that we have here.
| would suggest that you route the trip
to Oshkosh and from there through
Waupaca to Stevens Point and from
there here, and then from here to
Birnamwood. and on the road you will
take in my shack and eat trout with me
and thence you will travel southeast to
Appleton, Green Bay or Oshkosh.
While you are in Wausau we will give
you o reception at the club house and
offer you such entertainment as we
have. The trip ought also to involve
the ascent of Rib mountain which is
the highest point % of land in the
world. This climb can be in part made
with automobiles. After that on snow
shoes and with the aid of Alpine stocks
and guides. We shall be more than
pleased to have the club favor us with
their presence. Very truly yours,
NEAL Blown, President.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT.

The exhibition at the high school last
week Friday and Saturday, was great
success. 1t was little larger than last
years exhibition and some parts of it
were better. The things on exhibit
were made by the public school pupils
under the supervision of drawing,
domestic science and manual training
departments.
The hall and some of the rooms of
the first floor were devoted to the art
exhibit. The walls were covered with
drawings made by pupils from the first
grade TO the high school, and everyone
showed good hard work had been put
upon it, Some of the lower grades had
some fine raffia baskets and mats on
exhibition
The gymnasium was filled with fine
pieces of furniture and on the walls
were some of the smaller pieces of work
from the manual training shops. There
were large number of tables and
chairs, anyone of which would show up
well in competition with factory
made articles
The domestic science exhibit was held
in the domestic science rooms and the
exhibits of cooking. baking, etc. looked
good enough to eat but no one was
allowed to. The exhibit of sewing was
beyond anybody but woman. but ludg-
ing from the remarks heard it must
have been fine.
Ice cream and cake were served on
the first floor by the Ladies' Literary
club. Each afternoon and evening
there was q short musical program,
generally few songs by some of the
lower grades.
