/ Midnight came in from Waldo,
Kans., last week and will farm
here this summer having leased
a farm from w. A. Doerschlag.
The construction of the new
Catholic church has begun in

D. M. Sipe was busy for few

which writer's generally all
back on, makes no changes ex-

from; guess there's no use to

Several of the local weather
forecasts are predicting rain at
an early date. We will be very
much disappointed if their pre-
dictions do not come true. Later
Their prediction came true
and we are enjoying some real

It is said Of him that in all his WORT

1t has been something of more
than common curiosity to me, when
reflect what an advantage it would
have been to mankind and religion II
there could have been projected back
ward to the time Of Christ a report
er to take His sermons, His prayers,
His philippics and His promises and
to give the entire details Of the trial
before Pontius plate. At least, It
would have prevented the prevalent
Chautauqua addresses on the Trial
Of Christ by people who know moth
ing about what then occurred, and
who attempt to pad their want Of IN
formation with obstreperous, imagh-
airy and impossible guesses that the
ordinary person at present engaged
in unpuzzling the Capital pictures
would absolutely abhOr. 1t is a pity
that the Christian era and that Of the
stenographer were not synchronous.
The hiroglyphics of the Egyptian may
have been the cradle Of your present
pot-hooks, and you have special occa'

There will be advancements IN the
future in your profession. Before you
