(!. Latta When it comes to handling concrete Joe Is one of the best. Re has some work In the rural districts which he expects to commence in a few days. The farmers of this vicinity are ccr tainly up to their eyes In work. They have haying, harvesting, threshing shelling and the hauling of grain Farm hands are very scarce, in fact. It is almost Impossible to secure help to handle the work, so all that remains for the farmer Is to do what he can and let the 'Test" go. While threshing at the home of J R. allery this week, Ad. Riser was injured by having his arm at the elbow caught in some of the moving machinery. While the accident and Injury was a very painful one, Mr Kiser will experience nothing of aserl ous nature, and while he Is partially laid up he will be able to carry on the light farm work. Again C. II. Miller has become a per manent fixture to the city of Murray having completed all arrangements and starting the creamery In operation last week for the Waterloo Cremery Co., of Omaha. The plant has been closed since Mr. Miller went to Omaha several months ago, and the reopening of the same will be a welcome move to the people of Murray and vicinity. Frank and Geo. Sheldon passed through here Tuesday morning en route to I'lattsmouth to attend the republican convention. They were driving through in company w ith two other gentlemen. We have always un derstood that Mr. Sheldon was against the railroads, hut at the same time w did not think he would refuse to ride on a special train that passed through his town enroute to the convention The republicans held their primary here Saturday night to select delegates to the county convention which nas held in I'lattsmouth Tuesday. The following delegates were elected: it. S Root, Mont Robb.George Lloyd. James Loughrldge, Lloyd Gapen, W. E. Dull A. L. Raker, O. A. Davis.

From a special 'phone message to Journal, it would seem that the storm of yesterday evening was much more veie la the vicinity of Murray than was at the county seat. The rain fell In torrents near that place and any electric shocks and heavy thun der accompanied the down pour. A bolt cf lightning struck on the John Lloyd's place, killing ten head of hogs, but beyond this none of the other stock or buildings were destroyed. It will be remembered that just about a year ago lightning struck the barn on this same place, setting the building on lire and destroying it and ic contents, among which wcrcsev- ral head of stock. This means quite heavy loss to Mr. Lloyd, but it Is rtunate indeed that the bolt of lightning did not prove as destructive as that of a year ago. The ram pour in Flattsmoulh was xcecdihgly heavy for several minutes list night, but turned to a light shower icfore any danger of the sewer over ling was experienced. Some Fine Peaches. G. M. Minford can truthfully be classed as one of the fortunate peach growers of Cass county this season, and udglng from the sample limb placed on exhibition at the teller's gate of the Murray State Rank this week, he cer tainly understands just what kind of cultivation and the variety of this fa- orlte fruit that does the best In this climate. The branch was not a select ed one, but simply cut from one of the trees as an average of the entire crop, ust how large we did not learn, but we know they are of the finest variety we have ever seen grown la this part of the world, and we believe the fam ous fruit growers of California would envy Mr. Minford of the extra fine crop and the variety that may he seen n his place this season. Kicked by a Mule. Wes II 111, who is working this sum mer for Frank Moore, was iiite serl ously injured Tuesday afternoon about wo o'clock by a mule. As we have been Informed. Mr. Hill was in the barn looking after the team, when the animal began to kick, not seemingly taking any great pains where he struck, one foot landed on Mr. Hill s ace. inflicting a very ugly wound, an ther en his hip and one in the back, before he could gefaway. Mr. Moore resides about three miles southeast of tow n, and the Injured man was Imme llately brought to Murray, where his wounds were looked after by Dr. Rren del, and he returned home feeling very thankful that it was no worse. No bones were broken. Ice Cream Social. An Ice cream social will be given on the lawn at the Christian church, Sat- urdavevening, July 1 An Invitation s extended to every one. For Sale!

Clark's store she fell down upon the sidewalk, resulting in a fracture at the right hip joint. She was carried home and a physician was called to attend her, and found her suffering Intense pain.

C7 Ret of Caiistf Itttxw CONGRESSMAN PQLLARD STILL IN "HOT WATER" Two Members of His Delegation in Laa- czster Count) May Rj fiiss to Seme. A Lincoln special to the Omaha World-Herald says: ''Two members ! of Congressman Pollard's instructed delegation may resign and refuse to attend the Auburn convention They declare that they have leen laboring for reform In politics and worked In dustriously for Pollard instructions, believing they were accomplishing their object. "When the story of Pollard's salary grab was published they waited for a denial. It was not forthcoming and they are much discouraged. "A republican lawyer today declared that Pollard had no legal right to take the money under the provisions of the federal statute. This reads as follows: " 'Whenever a vacancy occurs in either house of congress, by death or otherwise, of any member or delegate elected or appointed thereto, after the commencement of the congress to which he lias been elected or ap pointed, the person elected cr ap pointed to till it shall be compensated and paid from the time that the com pensation of his predecessor ceased.' " "That phrase 'after the commence ment of the congress to which he has been elected or appointed,1 destroys the force of Mr. Pollard's explanation. Mr. Burkett never entered into the duties of the congress for which he as elected. The congress for which he was elected began March 4, litOS, and it will close at midnight, March 3, 07. He sent his resignation to the governor of Nebraska in January,l!)05, to take effect March 3, l'Mo, at mid night. Of course he never began to serve the term for which he had been re-elected and, consequently," Mr. Pol lard cannot claim the money under that statute. If congress had meant to cover all cases where there is a va cancy, it would never have inserted the phrase, 'after the commence ment,' etc." ' D.O.
