J. H. Egan will erect a $4,000 busi-
ness building here this year. Az the
season advances there are others who
will build. The st. Francis people
have vim. and they will push and pull
for their town.
It is expected everything will be in
shape for the electric lighting Of St.
Francis on or before March /.
Most Of the mail the business men Of
St. Francis receive comes via the auto
stage line from Goodland, IS miles. It
gives better satisfaction, besides fur
nishes letters and paper several hours
earlier than the B. & M. railroad sys-
tenn can get here.
With fine systems Of waterworks and
electric lighting. telephone. cement
walks. macadamized streets. and crop
prospects the best at this time, there
are those who predict Cheyenne county
will in the early future get a court
house good as the one which graces
Rawlins county.

business men of st. Francis. and he

Cheyenne county faithful followers in

ber of the legislature from Cheyenne
county, and Josiah Crosby and r. L.
Shields, to ex-memhers Of the legis-
lature. and J. H. Egan expect to be
present and herald the joyful tidings of
Democracy from high Cheyenne county.
Cheyenne county ranks well in the
culture of broom corn. The sea sons
are generally favorable for this crop. A
few years ago, when there was a big
crop raised and the price was so low
per ton that the buyer. Josiah Crosby,
had 1t stored all over st. Francis, hold
1t for an advance in price, it reminded
the visitors to town Of an arsenal and
the bales Of broom corn looked like
Notifications. Mr.. Crosby will buy the
product this year. and will pay what
ever the crop is worth and then some
before he will see 1t hauled away. Al
falfa is getting a good start in Chey-
enne county and every year there is
an increased acreage sown. The Re-
publican valley and the creek bottoms
adjacent are adapted to the growing
of alfalfa.

WILL KEEP CHURCH

Syracuse, Kan. Feb. 7.-When Helm
rich and Cornelius Jansen. prominent
members Of the German Mennonite
settlement in Lamont township. Ham
ilton county. bargained to sell the COM
munity church to the Methodists OF
Mitchelville, trouble started.
Poor crops Of recent years nave
caused many to leave the German set
tlement and the upkeep Of the cnurcn
was a burden to those who remained:
Many wanted to support the action OF
the Janzens and let the church 60.
But q majority Of the foreigners' VINO
have relatives buried in the prair1e
churchyard, said no.
An Injunction was granted In the
local courts against the proposed sale.
The Lamont community was split as
under in wordy strife. Local papers
were filed with accounts OF the trou-
BILE.
Word has at length been received
that the Methodists Of Mftchelv1lie
neighborhood have decided 1t would
not be Christianlike to press the pur-
chase further and the disputed
church will remain at it's present To-
cation.

Our hardy ancestors didn't know or
want mollycoddle remedies for bilious
conditions. They didn't want to be

this vegetable calomel as soon a. they
noticed the coated tongue-the dizzi-

the Bile from the Liver. They said
ito make tho Liver act" but we have
learned that the Liver is but q strain

leaving the body prey to the putrid
matter that should be disinfected by
the Bile.

In PoDoLax you have the same

You or your children should take

Badly Cut-Horses Stopped.
Concordia, Kan, Feb. H-David
Steel, rural mail carrier on route 4. met
with an accident recently which de-
molished the wagon, scattered the mail
and injured himself. He was driving
south from here when an automobile
came toward the team. He turned to
the side, but the car was going SO
fast that it could not turn out ana
frightened the horses. They ran away.
He was dragged along the road and
he was cut and bruised. and cut
on his left side is his most painful
injury. The cut went through his fur
coat and clothing. The man driving
the automobile never stopped to see
what damage he had done. and the
neighbors telephoned ahead to Sheriff
Carl Moore, who caught him just as
he was entering the city limits. He
claimed that he was on his way from
Minneapolis to Superior and had to
be there by o'clock to catch q train.
He admitted that he was the cause OF
the accident, but that he was in too
much of a hurry to stop. He changed
his mind, however, when Sheriff Moore
took him to Judge Sexsmith's court
and before a warrant for his arrest
could be sworn out, he decided to pay
the costs. He gave Mr.. Steel check
for $50 after some controversy and
went on his way to Superior. where he
Is moving. The officers phoned to Min
neapolis and found that the check was
good. Mr.. Steers mail wagon was a
new one, which had recently been con-
structed and 1t was entirely demolish-
ed. The money is to pay for a new
wagon.

Crop Conditions in Cheyenne

Alfalfa Acreage Shows Increase
Light for st. Francis.

st. Francis, Feb. 1.-THE Herald sees
big crops and greater farm develop
ment in Cheyenne county this year
than for a number of previous years.
The big crops now promised will mean
untold prosperity for the county. There
never has been time in the memory
OF the oldest settlers when crop condi-
tions looked SO favorable. Stock is in
fine condition. the ground is favorable
for spring planting. and the farmers
are elated over the prospects.
Cheyenne county has always been
favored by the elements, so they
raised part of crop when
other counties failed almost en-
tirely. Many Of her first settlers are
on easy street; others who plunged into
debt in acquiring more land on bor-
rowed money may not have Jared so
well. A few chickens and milk cows.
and a colt or two each year will put
the farmer on easy street in this Sec
tion in quicker time than raising wheat.
This is the opinion OF Ike Crumley. ex-
member of the legislature from Thomas
county. who tried to raise wheat ex-
clusively for several years and then
had to quit it before it busted him.

Herington. Kan. Feb. H.-Unless the
unexpected happens, by October 1 of
