Smith and family moved into the rear rooms of the Garstka building Monday, temporarily. —Mr. Geo. Bensobotcr the editor of the Northwestern was a pleas ant visitor at Ashton Saturday. —A few weddings which was to have taken plaoe iu Ashton vaclnity have been posponed to a later date. —Walter Kosmiski and family ac companied by Mrs. Joseph Kwat kowski spent last Sunday at Loup City. —We are informed that private parties will build a large shovel house at Shaupp Siding in the neai future. Ashton hall enterprise is slack but just wait a lew days and see the push and pull come in on the home stretch. —Equalization meeting of the township, first Tuesday in .June, so come and have your say if you have a kick a coming. —Geo. Mueller went to Sargent the fore part of last week to attend the funeral of a cousin, whose death occurred Monday last. —The blue grass and clover sown in the yards surroundirg the Catho lic church here makes as fine a lawn as a person ever could wish to see. —Owing to the lateness of the season and the delay caused by re cent rains, corn planting in this part of Sherman county is being pushed with extra energy and vigor. —If you need wall paper, room mouldings, curtains, carpets or any thing in the line of interior decorat ions come and get my samples and prices on same. Pictures enlarged at half the usual priees.-J.F. Smith. —The Knutzen, Jeskie aDd Smith land controversy was settled Satur day, without any of the usual law proceedings, Smith receiving $15 damages and ten days further time to vacate premises, now occupied by him. —J. F. Smith was appointed jus tice of the peace of Ashton township last Saturday, so he got a shave, purchased a new 90 cent suit of clothes (a pair of overalls and a blouce) and is now talking some* what of smoking a cob pipe. Such is the streneous life. —The Ashton and Oak Creek as sessors are busy with their labors and met Saturday at Ashton and ex changed ideas. As the population in this part of the county has largely increased in the last few jears and land being at a premium, the lot of the assessor is not the snap it used to be. The county assessor to be elected under the new law will need to be well up in the art of assessor ship. An important meeting of the Ash ton Farmers Elevator Associaton is called to meet on May 27, 190,1 at two o’clock p. m., and every farmer and stock holder is requested to be present. The enthusiasm in the matter was very high iu its tncipency and seems to have wanned somewhat, perhaps on account of the busy season. As we stated in our items when the first or second meeting was called, farmers should not lootO interest in these matters. — A special meeting of the voters in Ashton’s school district is called to convene at the school house on May :’.0th , 19011. at 8 p. ui., for the purpose of planning for building an addition to Ashton’s school house. The two room building as it is at present, is entirely to small for Ash ton's ever increasing attendance of scholars, especially in the primary classes. Whether to build another school buildiDg on the school prop erty or build an addition to the building as it now stands is a prob lem confronting our people, as far as good looks of the buildiDg and grounds are concerned. Every voter should turn out at this meeting and which ever way it is decided, let it be done 60 it won’t have to be done over again in a few years to come. —A petition has been filed in the district court by numerous Ashtou ites, residents ot Ashton village, praying for a release from the throes of taxation by having their respect ive farms stricken from the corpor ate limits of the village of Ash ton. Sections -Jl, 35, ‘JO, 23, 27, and -22, six sections in all, comprise the village, and at this writing the residence of four sections, and also three parties on the remaining two sections, have expressed their will ingness to sign the petition and pay their share of the expenses in push ing it through court. In case the petition is successful Ashton must confine its limits of village authority to a space about a mile gijuaro. Whether or not the above is a wise move on the part of Ashton, remains to be seen and we, like others, are not in favor of unjust taxation where no direct beuetit is derived therefrom. STRENGTH OF MEN AND OXEN. Bulk for Bulk, the Former Are the Stronger. Few people know that a man, bulk for bulk, is stronger than an ox, but it appears that such is the case. The matter was tested not long since at a fair in America, one of the attractions of which was a contest of a yoke of oxen against an equa’l weight of men. A drag was loaded with granite blocks, weighing in the aggregate 4,959 pounds. The yoke of oxen that made the trial weighed 3,220 pounds, and twenty men, allowing 160 pounds to the man, were set against them. The men took hold of the drag first, and easily walked oil with it, covering a distance of 95 feet in the space of two minutes. The oxen at their trial moved only eighty-five feet in the same length of time, and the men were accordingly declared winners.—Pearson’s Weekly. CLEANLINESS AS A VICE. Young Matron Criticises Methods of Her Mother-in-Law. “Cleanliness is next to godliness, I know,” said the young matron whose mother-in-law lives with her, “but there is such a thing as carrying it too far, I think. Now, my husband’s mother is fearfully and wonderfully neat. In fact, at times I feel that to live in a pigpen would be a relief. From morning till night there is noth ing but clean, clean, clean. Bits of carpet are laid in the places most likely to trip you up. These are in tended to keep the floor underneath free from stain and then the carpets are taken up and the floor underneath scrubbed as carefully as if it had not been protected all the time. You can not imagine just how trying it is. But the other day she reached the limit. She came in, took off her shoes, care fully washed them and set them out to dry! Think of it! It’s a wonder she did not wash her hat.” Billiard Players. The game of billiards has grown In popularity of late with the fair sex. According to Shakespeare, Cleopatra played billiards with her favorite, Charmlon. in the year 30 B. C. At present the best women players aro the French, who frequent professional games and eagerly follow the billiard news of the day. Patti is foud of the game and had a table made in this country to take to her Welsh castle, for which she paid $3,500. Among American billiard players of repute are Mrs. George Gould, Mrs. Edwin Gould, Mrs. Almeric Paget, Mrs. Burke-Roche and Lillian Russell. Bil liards are said to afford excellent ex ereiso. Next Presidential Contest. In the presidential contest of 1904 there will be 476 electors, the num ber of senators (90) added to the number of representatives (386). In the twm previous presidential elec tions, 1896 and 1900, the number of electors was 447. In 1892 it was 444, the addition being made by the ad mission of Utah as a state. In 1894 and 1888 there were 401 electors. In 1878 and 1880 there were 369. I SBAHI7I HUD ffiABBU IRA T. PAINE & CO. MONUMENTS. MARBLE GRANITE AND ALL KINDS OF CEMETERY WORK. BEST OF MATERIAL.

Omaha, Neb, 1 Mrs. Laura. S. Webb, Vice-President Woman’s I>en)o crude Clubs oi XortUern Oblo. "I dreaded the change of life which was fast approaching. I noticed Wine of Cardul, and decided to try a bot tle. i experienced some relief the first month, so 1 kept on taking it for three months and now I menstruate with no pain and I shall take it off and on now until I have passed the climax.” Female weakness, disordered menses, falling of the womb and ovarian troubles do not wear off. They follow a woman to the change of life. Do not wait buttako Wine of Cardui now and avoid the trou ble. Wine of Cardui never fails to benefit a suffering woman of any age. Wine of Cardui relieved Mrs. Webb when she was in dan ger. When you come to the change of life Mrs. Webb's letter will mean more to you than it does now. But you may now avoid the suffering she endured. Druggists sell 81 bottles of Wine of Cardui. ggiWE°rCABPUlJ DID YOU DO IT?
