PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
-In the forty two volumes that com
prise Voltaires works discussion may
bo found of tho widest range of topics
Fow men have been more diligent or
more versatile than ho H0 wrote his
tory and philosophy and fiction studies
critiques and essays dramas and poetry
and romances of varying lengths Of
all mon possibly he has been most
lauded and villified Here is Victor
Hugos tribute to tho great Frenchman
paid on the occasion of the ono hun
dredth anniversary of Voltaires death
A hundred years ago today a man
died He died immortal He departed
laden with years laden with work laden
with the most illustrious and the most
fearful of responsibilities the respon
sibility of the human conscience inform
ed and rectified He went cursed and
ble3sed cursed by tho past blessed by
the future and these are the two suberb
forms of glory On his death bed ho
had on the one hand the acclaim of
contemporaries and of posterity on the
other that triumph of hooting and of
hate which the implacable past bestows
upon those who have combated it He
was more than a man he was an age
ne had exercised a function and fulfilled
a mission Ho had been evidently chos
en for the work which he had done by
tho Supreme Will which manifests it
self as visibly in the laws of destiny as
in the laws of nature
It is impossible to say whether a mans
contemporaries are qualified to form a
just estimate of his characteror whether
the future alone is capable of apprecia
tion Every generation venerates the
past Wo know too well the faults of
those with whom wo live and whatever
their virtues we cannot set them on a
plain very much higher than our own
Distance obliterates the imperfections
and memories like wine improve with
age A change takes place the nature
of which we do not accurately know
As time absorbs the poison in the wine
as good prevails over evil so the faults
in the jnan that was are forgotten and
a superior being remains We do not
necessarily exaggerate the dead mans
virtues We merely lose sight of his
unadmirable qualities
All men of a positive nature have en
emies Voltaire althongh well hated
in his day had his staunch friends too
as all worthy men have Not even his
detractors could question his genius
As the years have gone by we seem
somehow to have come to a better under
standing of one another and Voltaire
who in his lifetime was expelled from
tho brotherhood of men has been re
adopted and acknowledged to be one of
the foremost of his race

Baggagemen To Handle Mail
Washington Aug 10 Postmaster
General Payne has decided to make thb
experiment of hiring baggagemen on
trains which are not provided with mail
clerks to take charge of and deliver open
newspaper mail This decision has been
reached after much consideration and in
response to a petition filed by many of
the leading newspaper publishers of the
the country who asked the postoffice
department to provide facilities for dis
tributing open bundles of papers along
the lines from trains which carr only
closed pouches The plan contemplates
that the baggagemasters shall be sworn
in as postoffice department employes
and be paid for their services It is esti
mated that the costof the service through
the baggagemen will be much less than
if postoffice employes were supplied for
all such trains
Redwillow County Leads Them All
The crop report for August issued
by the state on the first instant credits
Redwillow county with the highest esti
mated average yield per acre of wheat
namely26 bushels The condition of corn
is placed at 78 per cent and that of oats
at 91 The acreage of the principal
crops is given as follows Redwillow
county winter wheat 55488 acres
spring wheat 13932 rye 15701 corn
55775 oats 722 barley 1507 millet
733 alfalfa 7795 In live stock the
county is credited as follows Cattle
18610 hogs 10813 sheep 1481 horses
and mules 5667
The Tribune finds so far as it has
been able to secure reports from the
threshing operations over the country
that the estimated yield of wheat will
hold out

Indigestion Causes
Gatarrfo of the
Stomach
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia but the truth is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
tho juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach
Kdo Dyspepsia Cure

THE BALL GAME
Tho day was an ideal one
The grounds were in tho shade
Pillows served as buses
Ono a chost protector made
HoIdrcRO was tho visiting team
So McCook wont to tho field
And seeing tho mon they had to play
Resolved to boat not yield
Their battery was a strong one
Altho thoir hands woro tender
Miss Mart played EddioMoore
Miss Vastine played John Bonder
John Bender made uch killing signs
And Eddie threw such curves
They struck out Holdrego right and loft
Twas trying on their nerves
Miss RowolI Littlo Willie
In tho first part of tho game
Played first as only Willie can
But soon grew slightly lame
So down to right field she wont
And Miss Smith or rather Schopp
Came up to first and nobly pluyed
And almost every ball did stop
Miss McCarl played second base
As Bob Gaines she was a dandy
She did not catch a single ball
But well none of them camo handy
Miss Zint ns Snapper played third base
As captain sho was grand
And gazing back while at the bat
Mado goo goo oyos at the grand stand
Miss Brady alias Dusty Rhodes
Played short stop to a T
Aud if the balls she could not reach
She always lot them be
Miss Hager Baby Converse was
She played loft field just right
She said sho couldnt catch a ball
That went clear out of sight
Miss Fuller played the centor
As Zobe she was a peach
Sim never missed a single ball
That came within her reach
Twas Holdrego one two three and out
For McCook twas lots of fun
Theaudicnce cheered to beat the band
When Moore made his home run
John Bender just began to think
That Holdrego was quite bum
When a foul just hot from off the bat
Struck Twistah on tho thumb
The scores were counting up so fast
They really had to quit
And Bobbie clasped Babo byftho hand
And said I guess were it
So the game was never finished
Because it grew so late
But McCook was in the lead
The score 13 to 8

Is a germ disease of the intestines
The cholera bacteria finds its way
into the animal through the drinking
water or filth passing into the stom
ach and finally down along the intes
tines it sets up fermentation and from
there filters through the blood liver
and other organs
Hog cholera cannot be treated suc
cessfully unless treatment is com
menced before the germ has reached
the period of rapid multiplication If
taken in time it can be cured and in
all cases prevented by the use of
Liquid Koal because it is the only
known germicide that will pass
through the stomach into the intes
tines and from there into the blood
nermeafciner the whole svstem and
still retain its germ killing properties
All other so called cholera cures lose
their potency by the acid reaction of
the gastric juices of the stomach
hence have no value
