Amsterdam Notes
From the Enterprise.

Ike Lockridge was a pleasant caller
at this office Monday morning and
reports having lost thirty acre corn
field and ten acres Of flax on account
of an overflow of the Miami after the
heavy rain Of Friday night.
j. C. Hardin sold his farm, south
east Of here, Monday to 7. w. Huis-
mann, Of Grundy Center, Iowa, for a
consideration Of AS per acre. Mr..
Huismann, we understand, will re-
turn here in the near future to make
his home.
Sunday the editor and family spent
the day at the home Of our brother
in-law, M. E. Green, on West Point
Hill. During the day we were shown
q freak of nature in the way Of a
mare colt. II is three months old
and has absolutely no name nor hair
on its tail. Its body is covered by a
slight furze and is Of mouse color.
III ears are about half the average
she and are shaped great deal like
those Of q grey hound. The colt 9TH

condition.

Farmers Wives Form a Union.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 28.-The
farmers wives of Central Indi-
ana have rebelled against the
practice of making big dinners for
threshing hands, and the owners of
machines that 60 from farm to farm
threshing wheat will have to provide
dinners for their men. The wives of
the farmers organized against the big
dinner attachment on threshing days
and when thresher owners came
arovnd to make contracts and were
informed of the women's edict many
refused to make contracts, saying
they had no way to provide dinner
for the men. All the farmers in some
counties have formed threshing COM
panies among themselves and have
decided that every man must provide
himself with dinner. The organiza-
tons, and the big dinner at threshine
time is to be a thing of the past.

There is no doubt but what the rail-
road corporations adopt almost any
measures to beat damage suit and
always fight such cases to the last
ditch, unless they secure an opportu-
nifty to compromise at figures that are
advantageous to them, says The Cass
County Democrat. TIL e cases,
though, are not altogether one-sided
There is the inclination on the part of
the public to "put the hook" in the
railroads every time they have the
chance. Several months ago young
man stealing a ride on the Missouri
Pacific railroad was caught in wreck
near Ovid and had one of his legs so
badly crushed that amputation was
necessary. Now, spurred on by the
injudicious advice of the wrong kind
of lawyers, the young man is bring
ing suit against the railroad company
for $4,000 damages.

Back to Bleeding For Relief.

The Ottawa (Kansas) Republic of
the 18th just gave the public this re-
hinder of the old ways:
Surgery went back to the middle
ages practiced in Ottawa to-day when
"the lost art of blood letting" was
called into play by DR.. F. C Herr, and
S. A Whitebred was relieved of a
quart of blood. Mr.. Whitehead has
been suffering for two years from
hyperaemia of the blood vessels and
an over-supply of blood. The result
is that he finds infinite relief from the
operation.
The vein was opened this morning
and the blood allowed to escape
Then the wound was closed, and the
patient went away, feeling much bet
ter. This is the third time in two
years that he has been bled.
The operation is a very unusual
one in these latter days but is valu-
able in cases such as Mr.. White
breads, the physicians say.

Over Seventh of Deaths Are Due
to Consumption.

Detroit, Mich, June. when one
seventh of the worlds deaths are
caused by consumption it is time that
we do some soaring Of the people on

DR.. Hills Cole, of the New York state
department of health, in lecture be-
fore the American Institute of Home
opathy.
Some people, opposed to the anti
tuberculosis crusade, sagtiiat we are
soaring the people into consumption,
but | say that it is time we did some
soaring.
mo one knows, unless he has been
examined by competent physician,
whether or not he throws out tuber-
cule bacilli every time he coughs.
The household feather buster is a
potent means of scattering consump-
ton germs. Its manufacture should
be prohibited by law.
Consumption is durable if taken
in time, and even in severe cases
there is possibility of recovery. Pa
tent medicines advertised for the cure
of consumption don't cure. Most Of
them are alcoholic drinks in dis
guise. %"

Hume Telephone Notes.

During the heavy electrical storm
last Friday morning lightning struck
the residence of Newt Martin on West
Hume street, doing considerable
damage. The waterspout acted as a
sort OF conductor turning its force in
to the cistern. Otherwise the dam.
age might have been greater.
Grandma Duncan, as she was
known by everyone, departed this
life at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
j. F. Coon, near Underwood Chapel,

body was laid to rest beside that OF
her husband in the burying ground

Springer was married only last We'd

The charge against John Hanley Of
dynamiting for fish in the north fork
of Spring river was tried before JUS
tee Jordon at Purcell. The case had
been continued several times for d.
vers reasons, and finally the defend
ant took a change Of venue from JUS
tee HARRISON Of Duval township, be-
fore whom it was filed, alleging that
he could not get fair trial in that
township, It having been the scene Of
the alleged dynamiting. The charge
was preferred under the state laws
for the protection Of fish, and the
jury, upon finding a verdict Of guilty,
placed the fine At 300.

A safe and sane fourth, which
means that the youngsters are not tC
give vent to their overabundance Of
patriotism with noise-making inven.
tons, is the cry from all over the
land from nerve racked individuals,
who had their day and forget they
are back numbers. The natal day
we celebrate is but slightly typified
by the fire cracker and blank pistol.
The old patriots who made it possible
for us to celebrate glorious Indepen-

black powder and moulded bullets.

far from the giddy throngs, and let
young America make the welkin ring
with noise, the more the better.

A Judge of the Cole county court
has written to the saloon men of that
county to be present at the July term
of court and be heard on the matter
of raising saloon license. He asks
them if they are willing to "put up"

saloon men will be only too glad to
dig up few hundred extra for the
privilege of living under a Republi.

That was great example to mill
tary discipline and soldierly conduct
set the enlisted men in the state by
Assistant Adiutant General of the
state, Captain Pull Hunt, when he
rode his horse into a saloon at the
capitol city and ordered drinks for
the crowd. Governor Hadley must
be very proud of his military staff
1t was charged that some members of
the staff did not display superior
horsemanship on the occasion of the

Hunt probably wanted to wipe out that
slur and demonstrate that the gov
ernor's personal staff is composed Of
expert horsemen and brave booze

$4,000 ISLANDER SUIT.

Mayor 7. 7. CritteHden, o.Kansas
City, has brought suit against the
Star Company for $4,000 damages
for SANDER in connection with publ
cations made of the police shake up
of that city. The Star has been very
vindictive in its attitude toward May
or Crittenden and all Democratic Of
ficialS and has taken an ultra partisan
attitude. 1t appears to be hard for
that paper to forgive Crittenden for
beng elected Mayor over its vigorous
protests, and has ever since assumed
the role of prosecuting the Demo-
cratic administration. The shake
up appears to be a fight between
Republicans and Democrats to con-
troll the city. The Star tries to make
it appear that all Democratic office
holders from Mayor down are thugs
and thieves, while the Post takes just
the opposite view. The Kansas City
Journal takes the fairest attitude and
apparently tries to get at the truth of
the matter. Kansas City politicians
for years, of both parties, have abun-
dance of dirty linen to wash in their
state conventions, and the country, as
a rule, takes little stock and less
patience in their dirty factional fights.

The Burdens of the Rich.

We notice that nearly everybody is
taking sides against Mrs. Howard
Gould. For that reason if for no 9TH
er we are inclined to take her part,
says the Farmers Mail and Breeze.
To begin with, she had to live with
Howard Gould. That is some ex-
cuse for being tough. Of course, it
doesn't justify her for doing all the
things that she is reported to have
done but it is a mitigating circum-
stance. Howard never has amount
ed to whoop and never will. He
seems to deserve killing on general
principles just because of his worth
leSSneSS.
Then we have read Mrs. Gould's
testimony aboutthe number of dresses
she has to have and the number of
times she has to make quick changes.
OF course, il was a great mistake for
her to take to high-balls and other
high power drinks, but it must work
on the nerves we should think to
have to change clothes about Is or l6
times a day.
Never having been able to support
more than about two suits per year
and one pair of suspenders which we
shift from one pair of pants to the
other, we have but little conception
of what it would mean to put on Is
changes of raiment per day. We
fear, however, that il would require
all the influence of our early religious
training to keep us from taking to
drink. We do not greatly wonder
that in her highly wrought-up ner-
vous condition Mrs. Gould kicked the
hat off the head of the footman and
called for another high ball.
The more we read of the trials of
the rich the more reconciled we be-
come to our poverty. Often we have
thought what a glorious thing it
would be to have Is or 20 million
dollars at our command so that we
could live just as we pleased and have
spring chicken and scrambled hum
ming birds eggs if we so desired ev-
cry day. Also Is automobiles and
chauffeurs at our command. But if
il would mean that we would have to
put on a different suit every time we
went from one room of the house to
another and also change between
courses at every meal we respectful
ly but firmly decline to be rich.

What Is In a Name

Helnemann, the European publisher,
once noticed two peddlers standing side
by side, selling toy dolls. One of them
had q queer, fat faced doll, which he
was pushing into the faces of the pass
ersby, giving 1t the name of well
known woman refOrmer then prOmi-
nently before the public. His dolls
were selling rapidly, while the man be-
side him, who had n really more ar
tractive doll, was doing comparatively
little business. A thought occurred
to Heinemann. and he tried an expert
ment Calling the second peddler to
one side, MY friend" he said, "do you
want to know how to sell twice as
many Of these dolls as you are selling
now? Hold them up in pairs, two to-
gether in each hand, and cry them as
The Heavenly Twins" The toy vend
er somewhat grudgingly followed his
advice II was at a time when Sarah
Grand's famous novel was at the
height of its popularity, and the title
of the book was on every ones tongue.
Perhaps II was merely luck, but the
heavenly twins dolls were an inStan-
taneous success, and within one hour

himself beaten and moved five blocks
