VCountv Clerk Ruiim's pacing horse was killed bv lightning last liiuson night, in Mr. Lowiy's pasture near town Mr. Rauin says he is going to practio walking from this time on, but we sug gested a hike.

Lee's Lice and Mite Killer is a liquid oal tar product, heavily charged with gases which kill insects wiuiout navin to touch them. It is used by sprinklin on roosls for noultrv. ou bedding for hogs.

We have Batchlor Buttons and Mar guerites in bloom which is three ahead j of any we ever raised in Souix County. Does it rain in Merrick County? Well yes, after it gets turned up to the right pitch, it rains just us easy. Guess it is soaktdjiown t- the water vein now which isuny-where from three feet to six. Canvassers a re busy trying to secure lodging and breakfast for tile coining delegates lo the state S. S. convention. It was tunught there would be 250 or 300 delegates, but the repirts keep get ting largeras the time draws nearer. We will kBow more about it June 18 and 19. We missed our weekly visitor in the shape of the Fhess -Journal of May 14. We expected the program for the Sioux county S. S. convention would be in that. Is there any one in Sioux county that has Mrs. Phebe J. Taylor's address? T he last letter v e sent to her at Nepesta Colorado, has been returned to us, so preiume she has made a move to another town where Mr Taylor finds better employment. We attended a W. C. T. U.

The suhj"ct. were present ed in a clear and emphatic way, and Ihe discussions were lively and enthusiastic, There was a good attendance from the firat day and continued throughout the meeting. A number of people of Craw ford attended and took a great interest in the discussions. The convention closed with a consecration meeting led by Rev. Jamison. We have been expecting the secretary's Report, of the couvention but it has not showed up yet. The term of court that was to have been held bv iudrre Harrington 00 the 28th of May, was opened bv the sheri Alex Lowry, every day for four day there being present only the sheriff and clerk Win. J. A. Rauin. The judge failed to come and also failed to notify the clerk, that he could not be her, so to fulfil tha law as required by statute the court had to be openad each day as above stated. So Sioux county has bad district court for four days without a judge. i Mr. and Mrs V. C. Bridges departed for Wood Lake last evening after giving a pleasant exhibition of the accomplish ments of their music class and also, a musical and elocutionary entertainment by himself and wife. Our people were greatly pleased with them and their talent is certainly of a pure and very high order, a great relief after attending some of tbe fourth class semi vaudeville entertainments, that afflict this part of the country occasionally. New Port Republican. Keuu VFi ve old soldiers rememnerea me sacredness of last Friday and proceeded to th cemetery, followed by a few of our citizens and school children, and strewed the graves of their comrades with flowers. It is grand to not the respect and esteem in which th old soldier holds his fallen comrade, and as their ranks are getting thinner from year to year w hop that th young will remember, that to strew th graves of th dead with flowers, is on ol lb most sacred things w can do In rmm berauc of our departed frwnds. How He Lost k Pension. "I've just applied for a government pension,' be said, "but I don't think I'll get it.' 'Why not?" "Well, you see. I caught a bad cold in the civil war." "Of course." "An it s been a-working on nie ever since." "Naturally." "An' t.otherday it broke out in gallopin' consumption." "Why, you uon t look like a "I know it; an' that's jest where the trouble comes in. The very minute the consumption hit me, an' I put in my application to the government, the old lady fell to pray in' fer me, an' 'bout a quarter to 10 o'clock last night or mebbe it wuz 20 minutes to 10 her prayers wuz answered, an' I commenced to feel better, until now I'm 'feared I'm plum well. Tak m meat mv looks no government in the world is a-goin' to pension me. I don't want to muzzle the old lady, but it looks like I'll have to." Atlanta Constitution. Shockingly Misunderstood. A Worthy man, who was very sensi tiv and retiring, having lost his wife privately requested that he might be remembered in th minister's morning prayer from the pulpit, but asked that his nam might not be mentioned. Oo Sunday morning the good min inter prayed most eloquently for ou aged brother, upon whom the heav hand of sore affliction has so lately fallen." At this point an elderly man, whom the minister had married to a very- young wife during the week, rose with a bounce and stamped down tha aisle muttering loud enough to be heard all over tha chapel; "It may be an affliction, but I'm blessed if I want to be prayed for in that fashion," London Spare Moments.

Who trips along the way To take the chair she makes a thron At nine o'clock each day. Her rule is ever gentle, Her tones ure low and sweet; She is very trim and tidy From her head unto her feet. And it matters very little If her eyes be browa or blue; They simply read your inmost Whene'er she looks at you. The children bring her presents, Red apples, flowers galore, For all the merry girls and boys Thi. queen of theirs adore The darling little schoolma'am, Who reigns without a peer In a hundred thousand class-rooms This gayly flying year.
