Drummond Wants Herd Law Repealed

John Drummond of Burlington
wants the herd law repealed in Ward
county, and we might say here that
the county commissioners at their
regular meeting decided to put this
question to vote at the next general
election. Drummond says he has 1re
or six thousand little trees which his
neighbours cattle take special delight
in chewing up, besides he thinks that
foul weeds are scattered over the land
by stray stock. He spent eight days
last summer pulling mustard and
says he didn't SOW any of the stun
either.

you want little amusement, all you

in some cities the owners of the show
paying an enormous rent. The ma

Land Sells for Good Price.

Jourgen Olson sold 800 acre farm
lying three miles northeast Of Minot
last week to Powell Bros, of Iowa,
for $27 an acre. This looks as tho
land would continue to sell for good
figure this season. You don't hear
much about fifteen dollar land in Ward

use the Schoolhouses."

Under this head the Milwaukee Jour
nal expresses itself in a way that
should put people to thinking. It is as
follows:
''The movement to bring about a
larger use of the public schoolhouses is
one that should meet with general APP
proval. The investment in school build
ings is exceedingly large; the return
great deal less than it should be. To
use the schoolhouses as social centers
and to promote education in every rea-
sonable way, whether Of children or
graybeards, is a wise public policy.
Every schoolhouse should furnish a
meeting place for its patrons. The only
thing that justihes the state in its pub
lie school policy is the development of
good citizens, training the people for
the duties and privileges of citizenship.
If this is to be accomplished with the
largest measure of success, more use
of the schoolhouses should be made,
must be made, than at present The
schoolhouses should be open for public
use at any and at all times that do not
conflict with the regular work of in
struction. To use these public buildings
only a few hours day, and only five
days in the week during only nine
months in the year, is simply foolish
1t is an extravaganza because the pub
lie does not receive the returns upon its
investment to which it is entitled.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
its norma condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

INJURED ABOUT HEAD
DURING HAIL STORM,

Jack McCue, the West Laramie far
mer, tells of a thrilling time he had
during the hail storm Saturday after
noon He was in the field looking af-
ter the irrigation OF his grain when the
storm came up, and expecting to be
through in half an hour, concluded to
brave the storm and not have tc re-
turn later. The hail caught him en-
tirely d~efenseless, and his head was
peppered at a lively rate, he receiving
several bruises ms abrasions, albeit
he had his hat on. A man working
for Mr.. Corthell and driving four
horses hitched to a disc was not SO
fortunate, losing his hat and getting
the full fury Of the storm on his bare
head. The horses became unmanage-
able in the storm and gave the driver
all he could do to prevent their run
ming away. Cattle were pefted and
bruised, blood being drawn in some
instances.
