Severe earthquake shocks were re
ported in Washington and the north
Pacific Coast Tuesday. The fact that
Billy Sunday is at Spokane may pos
sibly account for the quaking.
From what we can learn the demo
cratic legislature will drop its past
fight on nepotism in office, and quite
a number of senate and house em
ployes will be relatives of senators
and representatives. Nepotism is
very wrong when practiced by the
other fellow.
Roosevelt is having more fun these
daj-s than a basket full of monkeys.
He has Pitchfork-Land-Gribber Till
man, Standard Oil Foraker and a big
grist of senators camping on his trail,
besides a number of beheaded office
holders and small-fry politicians.
You can fairly hear him grin.
Representative Brown has been
made chairman of the committee on
Federal Rellations, and has place on
these other committees: Public Lands
and Buildings, Constitutional Amend
ments. Public Printing, Benevolent
Institutions and on Employes. His
son, Arthur Brown, was made one of
the bill clerks.
The democratic legislature proposes
to oust Sheldon's spreme judge ap
pointees. Boss Ransom of the senate
and his followers claim the state
board had not the legal power to can
vass the vote on the constitutional
amendments, which they aver belongs
to the legislature, hence Sheldon's ap
pointments are of no force and effect.
Ransom proposes a legislative count
and the naming of four judges by
Gov. Shellenberger, the two sets of
jurists to scrap it out. Nice, isn't it?
But the democrats are hungry, you
know, after their ten years of fasting.

Bleached Flour Is Illegal,
Daily Bee. Jan. 9.—Bleached Hour,
which has been the subject of so
much controversy and condemnation
during the last two years, has re
ceived a knock-out blow in a decision
which has just been rendered by
James Wilson of the United States
Department of Agriculture, on the
i reccom mendation of the Board of
Food and Drug Inspection, says What
to Eat. The decision, signed by Sec
j retary Wilson himself, states:
Flour bleached with nitrogen per
oxid, as affected by the food and drug
■act of June 30, 1900, has been made
the subject of a careful investigation
extending over several months.
A public hearing on this subject
: was held by the secretary of agricul
ture and the Board of Food and Drug
Inspection, beginning Nov. 18, 1908,
and continuing live days. At this
hearing those who favored the bleach
ing process and those who opposed it
were given equal opportunities to be
heard.
i It is my opinion, based upon all
the testimony given at the hearing,
upon the reports of those who have
investigated the subject, upon the
literature and upon the unanimous
opinion of the Board of Food and
Drug Inspection, that flour bleached
by nitrogen peroxid is an adulterated
product under the food and drugs act
of June 30, 1908: that the character
of the adulteration is such that no
statement upon the label will bring
bleached flour wittiin the law, and
that such flour cannot legally be made
or sold in the District of Columbia
or in the territories, or be transport
ed or sold in foreign commerce ex
cept under that portion of section 2
of the law, which reads:
* * * Provided, that no article
shall be deemed misbranded or adul
terated within the provision of this
act when intended for export to any
foreign country and prepared or
packed according to the specifications
or directions of the foreign purchaser,
when no substance is used in the
preparation or packing thereof in
conflict with the laws of the foreign
country to which said article is in
tended to be shipped. * * *
In view of the extent of the bleach
ing process and of the immense quan
tity of bleached flour now on hand or
in process of manufacture, no prose
cutions will be recommended by this
department for manufacture and sale
thereof in the District of Columbia
or in the territories or for transpor
tation or sale in interstate or foreign
commerce for a period of six months
from the date hereof.
Roosevelt and Conmon Honesty
“In these days of President Roose
velt’s administration it is a pleasure
to think how often in these columns
we have had the privilege of agreeing
or disagreeing with him,” writes the
editor of Woman’s Home Companion
for January. “Mr. Roosevelt has made
mistakes, as he would be the last to
deny, but he has done the country
one service which is not written on
the statute books or on the records
of his official achievements. He has
promoted in the papers which the
people read, and, more important, in
the minds of the people themselve, an
active discussion of questions that
had become shelf worn from neglect.
He has given publicity to the Ten
Commandments; he has refurbished
the Beatitudes; he has popularized
Common Honesty. For these things
let us give him credit.

The evening sessions are exception

A General Mix-up.
| A nasty row occurred at a Polish
j wedding reception some nine miles
; northeast of Loup City Monday even
ing of this week, resulting in Antone
j Kosmicki having the end of his nose
bitten off by one Samuel Pflaster, a
brother of the groom, who also made
some seven gashes in Antone’s head
gear. and also smashed one Stanley
Pointkowski for calling him a vile
name. A woman who became mixed
up in the scrap was knocked uncon
scious but was not seriously hurt.
All were more or less under the in
fluence of liquor. On Wednesday.
Sheriff Williams brought Pflaster to
town on a warrant for assault and
| battery. He plead guilty and was
| ;ined $4 and costs, the injured man,
Kosmicki, allowing the trouble to be
settled by Pflaster paying the doctor's
bill for sewing him up. and further
damages, in all amounting to some
*44. Pflaster was lucky to get off as
easy as he did, for if the matter had
been pressed by plaintiff it might
have been very serious in result.
Pflaster. who appears to be a quiet
and intelligent young German of per
haps 25 years, claims he was forced
into the trouble and was exceedingly
sorry over it all.
Engine House Burned
Tuesday evening about midnight,
the U. P. engine house was burned to
the ground, together with forty-two
tons of coal In a shed adjoining. The
alarm was given by the whistling of
the engine which was backed out of
the building by strenuous work just
in time to save it from destruction.
The origin of the lire was supposed to
be from one of the stoves in the
engine room and was only noticed
after the fire had gained such head
way that no attempt was made to
save the building. The loss is about
8600 on the house besides the coal
abo.e mentioned.

CHALLENGE
A Timely Notice From The Council Bluffs Remedy Co.
On account of the method that is being practiced^ by unscrupulous competition, we hereby challenge am __
Stock Food or Remedy Company in the County to make a test with us. We will go into any herd of bogs, ana
cut out 20 head of the culls, and will then give our competitor the privilege of selecting 10 best out or the lot.
we will take the remaining 10 head and guarantee to produce as much fat with 8 bushels of corn as you or lie
can with 10 bushels, or lose $200.00 in ten weeks test.
Gentlemen, this means business, if you have what you claim, the same goods, only under a ditlerent
brand, come out and prove it to the farmer.
We guarantee to save 90 per cent of any herd we treat, or the goods cost you absolutely nothing. '■< n
tlemen, can you afford to be without this protection, when the Government reports show that the loss of 1 g
in this state alone amounts to more than a million dollars annually?
Do you want to help make up this loss? Certainly not. Then let us protect you.
Stock Raisers
The above statement ought to prove the value of our goods, when we can produce as much fat with 8 bu.-i -
of corn as you can with 10, we immediately become a benefactor to you, by increasing the earning power of tin
corn. Besides that we protect you against the terrible death loss.
We have an honest medicine of genuine merit, it cures when cure is possible. While you are growing legs
you have but one object in view that of making money, and when we stand ready to go into a 10 weeks test, backs i
up with a guarantee of Two Hundred Dollars, deposited in any bank, that our Remedy will do as claimed, it cer
tainly proves that we have got value in our goods, and you cannot atford to be without them

CROSS EYES! '
are in 9 cases out of 10 the result of Eye-Strain, which if
relieved bv glasses in earlv life would never cause crossed

Preliminary symptoms of Eye troubles that cause crossed
eyes are: Pain in back of eyes; pain in temples, sometimes
running over ears: print jumps after reading for a time.
These are strong symptoms that the eyes will soon cross un

PARKINS, the EYE MAN
Are You Doing Yourself Justice?
MR. FARMER:—Are you looking ahead for your son,
or if you are a renter are you looking ahead for yourself? Are
you going to accept this chance for a homestead that Uncle
Sam has made possible for you? Are you dozing over this,
while your more alert neighbor is acting? Don’t you realize
that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by the govern
ment in the Big Horn Basin and North Platte Valley will prove
to be the richest land prizes that the government has vet be
stowed on its citizens. You certainly ought to know of the 1
present land hunger in this country. Now you have the gov
ernment furnishing you 80 and 160 acre tracts of land irrigat
ed by the intelligence and financial security of Uncle Sam who
has suddenly become the greatest irrigator the world has ever
known, who offers you abundant and perpetual water with the
choicest land at $35 to §45 per acre in ten annual pavments
without interest;—land that will yield more in one year per
acre than the price of the farm.
Do you realize what a “good thing” this is in this day and age? If vou
do not, let me tell you something about it.
