Nation IN Clutches of Dreaded Grip.

That the Grip is no Tespecter of age,
sex. class. or nationality is very fOrcibly
demonstrated bv the prevalence Of the
disease at the present time.
In the large cities especially, so great
has been the increase of the Grip that It
has almost reached the stage of an cpl
demic, and what is infinitely more seri-
Gus, IS the fact that its mortality rate is
higher than ever before.
While IL Is true that the changeable
temperature. exposure to cold air. wet
feet, etc, render everyone more or less
liable to this serious disease. the fact
remains that the Grip can not only be
prevented, but its dangerous symptoms
can be greatly reduced by taking a
remedy that can be absolutely depended
upon to act promptly and ben6s8,iaIly on
the respiratory tract, ~S.hich is the seat
of the disease.

" announces itself by a snecze, cough
or peculiar sunOcating sensation, a lib

Johnny Gets His Gun.

Quartermaster Walter Francois
received last Saturday consign-
ment of 65 Of the new Springfield
army rifles, with which the National
guard of the country is to be armed
as fast as possible, Company L be-
ing the first of the new militia COM
panies to be served in the distribu-
ton in this state. The new model
Springfield is a considerable i'm
provement over the Krag, with
which the state militia is now armed.
1t is lighter gun, of more simple
mechanism, and will shoot farther
and with greater velocity. A fea-
ture of the gun is that the barrel is
covered to within few inches of
the muzzle, preventing it from be-
coming heated. The cartridges used
in the new Springfield are the sharp
nosed, steel-jacketed kind which
have been found by severe test by
the government to be far superior
to the old style. The new rifle will
be used by the state rifle team at
the international shoot at Seagirt
next fall.

Farmers Institute Aftermath.

It was real pleasure to see the
way farmers and citizens turned out
at the institute last week. Not only
was every seat in the court room
filled, but row of men stood in line
around the edges waiting tor a chance
to get the first seat vacated. And
the people and the institute instruct
ors were well pleased. One Of the
latter declared that the audience
was the most critical they had faced
in their travels, and that that was
the kind of audiences they liked.
The institute men were real farmers
and not. theorists. and their talks
were all worth hearing. For in
stance, Mr.. Sweets advice about
laying tile was manifestly sound as
well as interesting. The important
points were. to have competent
surveyor lay the drain SO as to be

A KNOCK OUT
FOR The STATE
U. S. Supreme Court Holds State
Railroad Tariff Law I'm
constitutional.
Talk of Special Session Of State
Legislature is Heard at
the Capital.

Last Monday the Supreme Court
of the United States issued the long
expected decision in the case against
Attorney General Young. for con-
tempt of court. The decision is a
stunning blow against the rights OF
the state to legislate on railroad
matters. The decision substantially
holds that the circuit court of the
United States had jurisdiction, and
that the attorney general was try
ing to enforce a law that was clear
ly unconstitutional because of the
enormous penalties imposed for vio-
lations.
This decision will become historic,
as revealing line of action which
seems to make the state government
all but helpless in dealing with the
railroad companies within its bound
aries.
Justice Harlan of the supreme
court dissents from the ruling in
vigorous terms, declaring that the
decision practically places all states
within the control Of the minor fed
eral courts.
"A sovereign state" he continued,
should always have the right to
bring suit in its own courts to test
the validity of its own laws, but this
decision takes the right away from
it. If this decision Of today is good
law, why will it not be competent
for the minor federal courts to issue
injunctions against grand juries,
against the governor and the county
attorney of every county in Mime
sofa, restraining them in the exer-
else Of their lawful duties"

Death of T. M. keefe.

j. R. Keefe received a dispatch
last Monday morning to the effect
that his brother T. M. Keefe, form
erly of Morton, had died during the
early hours of that day, and that
the remains would be brought home
to Morton for interment. AS has
been previously stated in this paper,
Mr.. Keefe went to Los Angeles in
company with T. H. Farrell of Far
rell & Keefe, several months ago,
and about two weeks ago Dan
Keefe, the other Morton brother,
went to the bedside of the sick man,
remaining to the end. The Keefe
brothers were among the enterpris-
ing citizens of Morton, and have
hosts of friends there. T. M. de-
veIoped a serious case of anaemla
during the past year, and his BROTH
ers hoped that cnange of climate
and entire rest might bring about
his recovery, but the event failed to
justify their hopes. Mr.. Keefe was
only about 81 years of age, and
death has taken him in the prime of
manhood.
