Missouri bottoms story; During a big revival, a sinner was greatly worked up While the preacher was extorting, the sinner arose, with his face flushed with emotion, and said: “Dear friends, I feel tile spirit moving me to confe-s what a bail man I've been, but I can't do it while the grand jury Is in ses Ion.” “The Lord will forgive you”, shouted the preacher. “I know it.

Gihsou to build and repair the county bridges for Sherman county for another tear. It appears that his bid was a little higher than one tiled bv the Stand aid Bridge Co. of Omaha but when we consider that Mr. Gibson always does tir'd class work and that we have had very poor results from dealing with foreign c mpanies, and alio that Mr. Gibson is a tax payer here, we beli ve that the supervisors acted wisely in tba matter Mr H. P. RHsland may have told the Times Editor that he made the editorof the North wkstkrn mad when he called and Stopped Ills paper, but the facts are that we were both in the best of good feeling. Mr R'-Mand said to us, how ever ss he paid us the $5.33 arearages, that h« was going to “slop the - Times, too," because its abuse of Pedlcr did not meet with his approval And, from what Mr Reisland said. It was be cause of this abu»e that he stopped both papers. The editor of the Times has a ru> ning habit of turning such things to shield ills own misconduct in such mar ters. and, like the wasp, seeks to sting the Northwestern.

This case was decid ed, at a former trial, In favor of the Ir l igation company, taken to the supreme court, and the decision sustained. Now it appears that the case is up for a rehearing. Last Monday, while going down the street, we chanced to meet Fred Tbode, who was driving a spirited team. He stopped square on the crossing and said, “Hello. Bryan”. New, Mr. 't’horle has done this same thing before, and just as we were trying to think of some way to get even, he handed us a dollar on sub scriptiou, and then, with a word to his spirited steeds, he was gone.

The colony now gives employment to 360 men simply in recovering materials that would ordinarily be destroyed. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Janie* Ford Take* HI* Life In HI* Own Hand* and Fire* a Shot That May Prove Fatal. About ill b. id. Tuesday the news reached this city of the attempt of a jouog man by the name of Jim Ford to take his own life by shoot ing himself under the heart with a 38 caliber revolver. Ford lives with his brother Jurd in the south edge of Valley county, and about 12 miles north of I.oup City. He came to this city with his brother Monday and was seen here as late as 4 p. m. Those who saw him did not notice anything unusual iu his manner. While in town he purohased the revolver at the hard ware store of E S. II ay hurst, but even then there was notbiog of note that would arouse the suspicions of any one as to any intent to do barm with the weapon. He went home with his brother and soon after they had put the team in the barn and went to the nouse, he returned to the barn and shot himself, the ball takiDg effect just below the heart aud passing so near through his body that it could be located in the back. After the shwitiog he returned to the house and told what he had dooe. At first the folks could not believe bim, but when he told his brother where he could find the revolver it began to look as though there might be some truth in ins statement and a search was instituted and the weapon found in the barn at the very spot indicated. By the time “Jurd” got back to the house voting Ford was beginning to feel sick and wanted to go to bed. By this time the auspicious of the family were thoroughly aroused and on examination the auful truth of his statement fully realized, A physican from Arcadia was quickly summoned and a telegram for Dr. (jrothan of St. Paul was also sent out. His condition is very critical and the attending phyesians seem to think there is but little hope of his recovery. LOUT CITY 11 IdII SCHOOL NOTCH. (EDITED UT ELT.A FOSTBH.)

One day, when a dis u on on pen sions was dragging its slow length along, Mr. Reed, who wo- in the very picture of health, aniu: ! h coterie of friends in the cloakroc by giving a reason why he should ive a pen sion. It ran something 11 ■ this: “I had never been able to . 'ake more than $500 or $000 a year," aid he with h chuckle, '‘till I was appointed Act ing Assistant Paymaster of the United States Navy at a salary of $1,400, with board, lodgings, uniform and two servants to wait on me. That induced an extravagant style of living, which I have kept up ever since, and which has cost me thousands and thousands of dollars—for which the government ought, in good conscience, to recom pense me.”—Washington Times. “Coming” and “Arriving.” “And so,” said the talkative person to the man who had just undergone that particular form of financial hem orrhage known as crossing the conti nent, “you came through without change?” “No,” responded the pa tient man, “I didn't state it so. When I used the term 'wholly without change’ I referred only to the condi tion in which I arrived here.” Look I S ere! DO YOD KNOW that this will probably be the be t spring for setting Trees, Plants and Shrubs that Sherman County ever saw ? and DO YOD KNOW that everyone who owns a plot of ground should improvw the opportunity ? and , DO YOD KNOW that you can buy anything in this line from F.

Every farmer knows, of course, that one of the worst mistakes tie can make is to plant poor seed, but every farmer does not know the difference between the very best and that which is not so good. Poor seed is a bad investment, because if it makes a difference of only a few bushels to the acre it is a loss of many dollars. Some of the most Inter esting experiments of recent years has been the work ot breeding better seed and improving it, just the ssme as live stock has been improved by intelligent breeding. The Twentieth Century Farmer is pub lishing a most interesting series of arti cles by Thomas i* Lyon of the Nebras ka Agricultural Experiment station on breeding wheat and corn.
