The Globes CatIar
tic Pills.

We agree fully with the Col
den Globe that the Republicans
are not yet in good prime condi-
tiOn.
The Globe doctor, after doctor
ing them for a great many years
says that they cannot expect tc
accomplish good health all al
once, it takes a long time. He
acknowledges that it was very
bad case.1 He says, 'The tough
old roots Nnnot be eradicated al
once, but the alfalfa field of the
machine has had one good plough
ing in jefferson county.
We suppose the doctor referred
to the election nearly two years
ago and the doctor further says
his patient is making great i'm
provement and it is now a case
of biliousness" only, and it can
be easily remedied by a dose OF
common sense cathartic pills.
We believe that if the doctor
continues his diagnose of the case
he should see that the dose
should be a strong one. There is
still considerable of the Guggen,
helm bile that ought to be throw
off before a cure is entirely eff
fected. We furthermore believe
that it wasn't the Globes pills Sc
much that helped out as it was
the dose the democrats and indie
pendents administered at the last
election so that the patient rested
nearly two years, and the doctor
must admit that the improve
ment has all taken place since
that time, there was no sign OF
improvement till then.
Therefore, in addition to the
cathartic pills referred to in the
Globes last issue, we very mod,
estIy suggest absolute quiet and
~rest for another two years, anc
by that time the party may be
out of danger of another attack
of Guggenheimism.
In Denver the disease is. still
strong and at work, and in Jeffer-
son county which touches Den
yer, the symptoms are still lurk-
ing and ifencouraged by an cleo
ton, may break out even worse
than before. So that if the doc
tor would permit his patient an
other long rest, it might come
out alright and if he will not per-
NIT it, then probably the voters
will.

A lesson taught half =heartedly

The time of year has come

Rosebud Crop Conditions.

Dallas News: Crop conditions in
Gregory and Trip counties at the
present time are very spotted" on &C.
count of the fact that practically all
of the showers during June and July
have been very much local in char
acter. II is generally conceded that
the worst condition in the two coun
ties is shown along the region of the
divide northwest from Dallas. While
dian land it is getting into quite gen
eral cultivation by virtue of leases
and the losses through light crops will
be quite heavy in some instances.
In both the northern and southern
areas of Trip and Gregory counties,
the wheat and corn conditions range
from fair to good. Most of the win
ter wheat fields have been cut during
/ the past week and the yields promis-
ed are from fifteen to twenty-five bush
els per acre. Many of the fields were
| frozen out during the winter but
| those were generally plowed up. and
planted to other grains. The spring
southern section, are far from dis
couraging and average yields are indi-
| Gated. The barley crop is a general
| failure although the acreage of this
grain has not been sufficient to make
! it an important feature.
! 1t is in the oats crop that the most
variable conditions seem to exist and
the lines cannot be strictly drawn as
to early and late varieties or as to
| localities. There is one field of more
! than 200 acres of small grain within
, three miles of Dallas that is all good
| including winter wheat, spring wheat
| early oats and late oats. Those who
| have been farming in Gregory county
for some time have always regarded
oats as a sure standby, but there are
many disappOintments this season
| Many of the fields are not considered
worth harvesting, but there are still
many other fields in which the yielG
promises to be from twenty-five to for
! ty bushels per acre.
While many corn fields are much
behind normal growth on account o
late planting or replanting the gener
al condition of this staple crop is quite
satisfactory. The crop is making phe
nomenal growth in all localities ant
occasional showers, with a normal fal
this season, will insure a large corr
crop.

How Norfolk League Stands.
Fine Horse is Ruined.

A horse valued at 5000 belonging to
DR.. A. b. Tashjean was taken out of
Stanton county pasture ten miles
south of here and driven so hard by
unknown parties that it is now unable
to walk. The doctor says the animal
is not now worth over $25. The an
imal was crippled and injured, says
DR.. Tashjean, a few nights ago by per-
sons who took the animal from the
pasture and drove it away without his
consent. He has no proof as to who
the guilty parties are, but it is be-
lieved he suspects certain persons.
The injured animal was considered
one of the fastest driving horses in
the county and was put in the pasture
by the doctor, who was very fond OF
the animal, some time ago.
The doctor has offered reward of
$25 for the arrest or conviction of the
guilty parties.

Auto Jumps Of Bridqe.

Wayne Herald: If there is ever
such a thing as lucky accident then
the one occurred Sunday afternoon,
about five miles southwest of Wayne.
may surely be placed in that list An
automobile containing six young ladies
off the end of bridge into the mud
and water twenty feet below and all
of the occupants escaped being kill
ed; none had broken limbs and only
one was at all seriously hurt. The
automobile was owned by a farmer
named Westerhouse ard was being
driven by his son, young man about
2S years of age. In the front seat
with him was his sister Mary, and
those in the back seat were Lucetta
VIlrich, Ella Whittier, Annite Wittler,
Minnie Whittier and Annie Thompson.
The party were on their way home
from attending services at Grace
church southwest of town. A good
rate of speed was being maintained
in fact, the young ladies a few mo-
ments before the accident had urged
the driver to be more careful and not
go so fast. The party were coming
| from the west, and a short distance
from where the roads intersect there
| is a bridge on the highway running
north and south which they had to
cross.

These men are Italians, natives of far
away Italy, who came to seek their
fortune in this land of the free. They
live in an old boxcar on the right-of-
way about block from the Burling.
ton depot. They are typical Italians,
small in stature and swarthy in com
pleXion. But they are industrious and
frugal. They save their money. They
do not dissipate. They attend strict
ly to their own business. A few of
who wait patiently for their husbands
to save enough money to pay their

Arthur Hgman and Judge ELS
worth both of Benton Harbor, Mich,
were in the city looking over the Hig-

west of here, with view of selling 1t.
The two Michigan men went to Sioux
City, but will probably return here in
few days. should a contemplated
deal be made.
The fifty acres were purchased
many years ago by the Higman Bros,
for $4,000, or $500 per acre for town
lot speculation, the two brothers hav-
ing then just cleared about 100000 by
selling about 10000 acres of sandy
land in Pierce county, which they
bought from the government for about
sips per acre, to Frenchmen, who
wanted to raise alfalfa and who had
the impression that sandy land was
the soil to raise their product, and it
is stated here that they paid the Hig-
man brothers something near SIS per
acre for the sand.
In those days speculation in farm
land was not as profitable as town
lots. 1t is said one of the brothers
met reverses and the other later went
into the box manufacturing business
The fifty acres are now worth about
5000 per acre, ii is stated here.

busy people and then tossed aside.
The country paper, which is smaller
and more compact, is read carefully

expected to have speaking ac-
quaintance with the man who lives
ten feet away, while in the country
everyone knows everyone else in the
whole community and the paper
which comes to the home filled with
items concerning neighbors is mes
sage of human interest to every mem
Der of the family and it receives an in
