auditors statement itself shows the
time to be three years and seven
months. This is the first fact con-
torted by you to strengthen the po-
sition Of the candidate that you are
supporting for county superintendent
of schools. Who this candidate is I
do not know and most of the people
as vet have been unable to decide,
altho you stated to me in a personal
interview, not over ten days ago, that
you thought had done right, earned
the money that I had received and
was entitled to reelection. You also
stated that you supported me In the
primaries and that as no additional
criticism had been presented since.
you were still for me and thought
that was entitled to the support Of
the fair-minded, progressive people.
What gave rise to this change in the
policy Of your paper I do not know,
but as told you that could not
afford to spend very much money. 1t
il possible that you decided It was
not worth while to support me for the
good Of the schools only.
The auditors statement for three
years and seven months shows that

Guiding salaries, mileage and all Incl
dental expenses $50,2es 90. During

Thousands of acres of fax were
either blown away entirely or strewn
about the prairie in such . manner
that 1t is practically total loss. in a
high wind last Thursday night. New
er before have we heard Of flax being
lost in this manner, and it Is esit-
mated that the loss in Ward county
alone will amount to sum upwards OF
100000. Some farmers who had
Just cut forty acre fields, arose Fri.
day morning to find their max gone.
1t had been carried into adjoining
fields, into the highways and much OF
it was lost sight of entirely. In
some fields the fax was rolled up in
great piles against fences, and the
weight Of the fax and pressure OF
the wind even broke down fence

C0L0RED MAN
FALLS THREE STORIES
VIM. Chambers 6unged Up But Still
in the Ring-Doctors Think He'll
Recover,

VIM. Chambers, colored, lost his
balance while washing windows on
the third story of the Lexington no.
tel Wednesday afternoon about six
o'clock and fell to the sidewalk many
feet below. He was picked up in a
horribly mutilated condition and
rushed to St. Joseph's hospital, where
it is said that he viii recover. Cham.
ters struck the sidewalk with his
face and hands, and it is a wonder
that his skull was not crushed. As
it was, his forehead was gashed In
several places, his lips cut, his nose
hattened out, one eye nearly gouged
out OF his head, nearly all Of his teeth
knocked out, his left wrist broken,
three fingers on the hand dislocaled,
and his left hip dislocated. Aside
from these injuries, Mr. Chambers
was not badly hurt. AS Chambers
fell, he jumped for the electric light
wires below and these broke his fall.
At the hospital after the doctors
had patched the fellow up, he arose
from his bed and walked out of the
room, when he was discovered and
hurried back to his cot. Chambers
did sot lose consciousness at any
time.

separator was drawn away from a
large stack 81 fax straw and the
stack set aflre. During the night a
severe wind arose and the machine
caught on flre. The loss is fully
$500, but as the machine was several
years old, little or no insurance was
carried. Mr.. Meyers has borrowed a
Rumeley rig to complete the seasons
