THE SHELTON rilE
Shelton was visited with a most
disasterous llrs last week in which
a portion of the main business block
of the city was burned. Tha fire
broke out in the building occupied by
the post office the Clipper office and
J. E. Waples’ jewelry store. In
giving an account of the fire the
Kearney hub says: “Merchants lost
hundreds of dollars by moving their
gtocks in the mudy streets Every
thing in the burned building except
a paper cutter and a few cases of
type were destroy ed. F D. Iteed is
the postmaster, as well as the pub
lisher of the Clipper and his loss on
the printing office and postoffice
fixtures is between $3,000. and $3,
500. He had but $500 insurance
and this would have expired Tues
day. Waples’ loss is between $-100
and $600, with no insurance. The
building belonged ot Otorge Mizner
and the loss is about $2,000 partly
covered by insurance. All of the
mail in the post office was burned
and all of the post office records.
Stamps money, etc. were locked up
in the safe. Mr. Reed opened his
safe and found his books all right.
He also has a copy of his mailing
list.
Monday morning at exactly 10
o'clock fire broke out in the drug
store of W. S. Sutherland, next
door to the office room and was
caused by the burning through of
the timbers which extended through
th« wall. The break out of the sec
ond conflagration created great ex
citement and merchants begain to
again move their stocks to the streets.
The fire was under control in ten
minutes after it broke out, but in
that time nearly a thousand dollars
worth of damage had been done.
During the fire F. E. Colby was
on the roof of the building and the
sky light had been broken out. A
ladder was put down to the floor be
low, and he started to decend. The
ladder, however, slipped upon the
wet floor and precipitated him about
twenty feet to the floor below, break
ing his leg.—Kearney Hub.

No Escape From Trouble.
An interesting light on the subject
of government ownership of railways
conies from Victoria, Australia, where
the 10,000 employes of the govern
ment railway, defeated in an attempt
to elect legislators who would raise
their pay and shorten their hours, are
threatening to strike. Evidently
there is no royal road to industrial
peace.
He Fears the Worst.
‘‘The senior editor of the Saccharine
(Colo.) Gazette wont to Denver Tues
day," says th< junior editor. “He is
probably married; We do not know
whether it was with 'malice and afore
thought, ‘ but ‘tis done. ‘Blessed be
the ties that bind.’ We know nothing
of this, but bad grave suspicions when
Monday evening he borrowed the only
white shirt this office possessed."
NOTED FKIIH AN UMMtOKKK.
En. Northwestern:
As a delegate from Sherman coiin
ty in the interest of the Farmers’ Co
operative Grain and Live Stock
Association from Ashton, wheie a
local is now being formed, it was
my privelege to pass a day or two at
Lincoln, and while there it was mj
pleasure to spend a portion of my
non business hours at the Capital.
I, of course, met many of our law
makers of the great state of Neb
raska, and if my judgement is bank
able, I pronounce both house and
senate par excellent.
That is, I believe that the intel
ligence of the state of Nebraska
through and by its counties is farely
represented, and please 6tate to your
readers that Sherman, although
posed as a nonentity for a number of
years, has at last been heard from,
and the list of counties will be ad
ded and extended to the gentleman
from Sherman; and a note worthy
fact is that no body of men more
experienced in the desires of its con
stituents and the wishes of the peo
pie, especially the farmers and mer
chants has ever met in the coridors
and halls of the Nebraska legistature
since the organization of the state.
lhe representatives from the
great grain and stock producing
sections of Nebraska are there, and
interested in the demands of the
people who sent them, and under
the shadow of the call of the State
Grain and Live Stock Protective As
sociation, which convened Jan. 2:5,
and completed its work Feb. 13,
many bills in the interest of farmer
ard stock raiser was formulated and
oflered and I believe that our inter
ests will not he neglected.
The demands of the farmer are at
last receiving a degree of respect
that of right justly belongs to them.
Like the patient ox we have borne
the goads and prods, and through
igonranee or sheer force of habit,
have subservently relegated our
selves to the rear, to bow to and ac
cept the edicts Bent fourth from
unscrupeloas discriminating railway
and elevator combine.
Our present condi'ion is but a
repetition of the past, with added
perplexities. Year after year the
man with the hoe, the plow and
the reaper, tills the soil, plants the
grain and gathers the harvest and
sends it forth to feed the world, to
satisfy the strength that mans the
ships, that moves the trains, that
drives the spindles and feeds
the looms. He does this yearly aDd
is proud of his woik that produces
fine crops, and with pencil and pa
per he figures out the yearly income,
and the result is, the various com
bines, pools trusts and middlemen
in line between the farm and market,
have applied light weights, low
grades, high margins and excessive
freights until there is but little left
to the producer.
Brother farmer, how tired it make
us when we look back through the
dim vista of the past and see our
selves, not unlike the Wear}’ Willie,
plodding along, each year with its
seed time and harvest, striving hard
to make both ends meet and to un
hinge the clutch that elevator pool
and railway combines are tightening
on the farm.
Just now the outlook is brighter,
and I believe there is a way out, and
in time will insure, as justice, the
key note that has aroused the far
mers to action, has been sounded
from front to rear. The line is
forming, elevators and shovel houses
are beiDg erected. More than luO
have been built since the Farmers
state Association, with headquarters
at Lincoln has organized, and I
would like to see every grain pro
ducer and stock raiser in Sherman
county to unite in forming associa
tions and aot in touch with the Neb
raska Farmers Cooperative Grain
and Live Stock Association A let
ter directed to John Reese, Secretary
broken Bow, Nebr., will bring you
the information. E. G. Paiof..
An Up-to-Date Shave.
The antiseptic shaving sat.on is the
latest achievement m hygienic sci
ence, says Tit-Bits. The victim is
seated in an enameled iron chair, with
his neck and shoulders enveloped in
a rubber pad that has been dipped
in an antiseptic solution. Previously
the razor, soap dish and brush have
been sterilized by half an hour’s hard
boiling. Nothing is allowed to touch
the face that has not been either
sterilized or disinfected antisepticaliy.
Even the finger tips of the operator
are dipped in a solution. Taps are
turned by the foot, and the drawers
where towels are kept are microbe
proof.

BLACK-DRAUGHT!
THE ORIGINALi
[LIVER MEDICINE!
A sallow complexion, dizziness,®
biliousness and a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubjes, severe as they are,
five immediate warning by pain,
ut liver and kidney troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford’s i
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased liver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and
a?U0- It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Bright’s disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re
inforced by Thedford’s Black
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
perfect health and have no other
doctor than Thedford’s Black
Draught. It is always on hand for-C
use in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor.
Mullins, S.C., March 10,1901.
I have used Thedford's Black-Draught
for three years and I have not had to go
to a doctor since I have been taking it
It Is the best medicine for me that Is
on the market for liver and kidney
troubles and dyspepsia and other
complaints. Rev. A. 0. LEWIS.
