Mr. Welsh was formerly a resident of this county, but moved to South Omaha about a quarter of a century ago where he has since made his IjypQe. “flow savagely that cow looks at me,” said a young woman—a summer boarder—to a farmer. “I’ts your red parasol, ma’am,” he answered. Dear me!” she exclaimed; “I knew it was a little out of fashion, but I did not sup pose a country cow would notice it." A quarter of an inch of rain fell last Sunday night and about the same amount Monday night. The ground is very dry for fall seeding and we should have a good old-time gulley washer to put the ground In good condition for sowing fall wheat and rye. Exchange: The farmer is the gambler who takes the bitter with the sweet; when everything is lovely his lot is hard to beat. But when things burn to tinder, with pastures bare and brown, would you rather be the farmer or the man who lives in town? v. b. Jiardinor Monmouth, Illinois, who owns the old Jackson ranch nonheast of this city, arrived in this city Tuesday evening fora few days visit. Mr. Hardin says that for two months they received no rain in his section of Illinois and that they will have about half a crop of com in that state. A' “girl” living not far from this city, of rather ancient appearance,was asked why she did not marry. 0#r reply is practical, if it is anything. She said, ‘I have some money of my own; have a parrot that carv swear and a monkey that can chew. What neecThave I of a husband?” Can any one answer this sensible female? Montana Jack Sullivan is getting quite a reputation as an umpire. Last Sunday he went down to Battle creek and umpired a game between Battle Creek and Norfolk that was won by Norfolk in the last half of the ninth, with a score of 1 to 0. Tues day morning he went to Battle Creek again where he umpired another game. Corey, the left handek pitcher that put Emmet on the base ball map the past year, is making good with the Cojumbus team of the state league, which he joined two weeks ago. Since going to Columbus Corey has pitched three games for Columbus and won all of them. He is not making much of a record as a strike out pitch er but is pitching good consistent ball, holding bis opponents down seven and eight hits per game. C. E. Stout returned last Friday night fr< m his trip to the west. Charles says that Idaho is a great country and'‘that while away has seen all kinds of big game, although, so far at least, he has not boasted about being in the Roosevelt class as a hunter of big game. He says that he had an enjoyable trip and would nave jikbu remain in mat section much longer than he did. Bruno Jacobs of Star, one of the prosperous farmers of Steel Creek township, was a pleasant caller at thisoflice Monday and ordered The Frontier sent to his address for'the ensuing year so that he could keep posted upon the affairs of the county. Mr. Jacobs says they have a splendid corn crop in his section of the county, the fields being as nice and green as they were six weeks ago. An editor is a cross between early piety and cranky old age. He never swears in the paper without abbrevia ting a dash. He'tolls along like a stone gathering moss until the lumba g) strikes into his back. The gather, ing of wealth has but a faint hope and seadowy “might be” iu his mind. He lives from day to day In the hope of getting conscience money from his subscribers who owe him several years of subscriptions, but the subscribers sleeps well every night while he strug gles on and always having something coming. A. S. Merrill and daughter returned last Tuesday night from a three weeks visit with relatives at Mr. Merrill’s old home at Kokomo, Ind. Mr. Merrill’s mother,seven sisters and three brothers are living in Kokoma and yjcinity and they had a family reunion at which all the members of the family were present. It had been twenty years since A. S. visited the scenes of his youth and he says he had' an enjoyable time visiting relatives and companions of his boyhood days. Crops in that vicinity are in splendid condition he says and everything is ; prosperous. It takes a woman to show her nerve under the surgeon’s knife, but women can display that quality at other times. As an instance: Lately a lady shopper ask to be shown white canvas shoes. The clerk showed several styles, and was able to furnish a perfect i}t, going to every trouble to please the customer, who with one of the best pairs on her feet, ask “Now what is the exact size? On being in formed of the size, she had the shoes removed with the remark: Weil, I am sending awav for a pair of shoes and I wanted to be sure as to the size oraered.” The fearless editor may offend and lose a subscriber, but If he is right in the end he will gain live. He will lose an advertiser, but if he Is right he will gain two thereby. If he la bors not to displease anyone he will please no one. If be tries to ride all the horses in the held he will be un horsed by each of them. The editor should follow his honest, well-consid. ered convictions, and the man he should labor to please is himself. If ,fte does this with ability and without fear or favor he will have a gieat following and better support, though be be wrong half the» time, then he who trims his sail to every change of the breeze, and without chart or oompass, principles or purpose, drift ing aimlessly with every shifting tide. Albert Canady, who lives (our miles northeast of Ewing, met with an accident last Saturday afternoon that came near causing his death. Mr. Canady was making sorghum molasses and while inspecting a whiskey barrel he applied a lighted match to the bung bole. The barrel exploded with terriffle force, striking Mr, Canady under the chin, rendering him un conscious, in which condition (je re mained for several hours." An exami nation of his injuries, after he came to, resulted in finding the jaw bone broken in two places. He was taken to a hospital in Omaha Sunday for treatment. It was a very narrow escape and it will be some time before Mr. Canady will have entirely re covered from the effects of the explosion. About 12:15 today fire was discovered In the old delapldated structure just horthof the First National bank building and used by Jack Welsh as a warehouse. The fire was extinguished without doing much damage except that caused by smoke. The way ' the fire started is a matter of conjecture but the supposition is that it was caused from a fire at the rear of the building that was burning up some old papers and rubbish. As the door of the warehouse was 'Bpen the sup position is that the wind carried one of the papers around the cofner of the building and in the door where it ignited some bannana crates and was blazing fiercely when discovered. More care should be exercised in the burning of old rubbish and papers or someday we will have a fire that will not be as easily extinguished as the one today. uauuc uiccn ikutci^uBC- x. iu. Morris came down from Okaton, S. D., Tuesday to mix pills and powders at the Hoover drug store while the senior partner enjoys a week’s vacation. Tom wields the spatula with his old-time dexterity, though the rigors of sun and wind have given him a complexton which is the envy of his Indian neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Morris have now occupied their government claim near Okaton for a year and find comfort in a five room frame cottage, one of the best in that section of the country. With an abundance of water and some good timber on the place hardships in cidental to frontier life are reduced to the minimum and Mr. Morris intends to “stick” for a deed to the place. All are now enjoying the best of health and at present have no desire to return to the busy marts. We’re all glad to hear these good reports— along with Tom’s musical tee-hees. Despondency. Is often caused by Indigestion and constipation, and quickly disappears when Chamberlain’s Tablets are taken. For sale by all dealers. Adv. German Picnic.
