"Whilo not as largo a city as Blair,
yot Rod Cloud has a much larger busi
ness district, and trade seoms to bo
unusually brisk for this season of tho
year. Tho stores aro all well stocked,
but prices aro much higher than in
Arlington. This statomout will tako
in almost everything in tho two towns.
Thoro aro four nowspapors in Rod
Cloud, and all of thorn seem to bo woll
patronized and prosperous, and aro,
strango as it may seem to a man from
Washington county, at peaco each
with tho other. No quarreling, no
bickering; everything harmonious and
pleasant. Wo havo no criticism to
oiror as to their conduct, but all of
them seem to bo inclined to attend
strictly to thoir own business and al
low everyone olso to do tho samo
thing.

days, but wo havo learned that !?

fast, and does not always uvo lOnglislt
as "she Is spoke." In reading over tin
columns of ono of tho local paper,
yosterday wo noticed tho report. if in
llvo stock salo. Thoro is certainly
nothing poculiar about this, but wheu
tho writer declared that a cow sold for
bo much, and a "male" topped the salt
at so many plunks, wo wore left in
doubt as to what kind of a muto was
moaut whon wo learned that the ani
mal roforrod to was not a steer but u
bull, of tho real mnsouline gender
Wo would adviso this particular
writer that hereafter whon writing up
artiolort in which ho does not care to
call a spado a spado, that ho adopt the.
good old splnstress expression atitr
say that n "gentleman cow brought m
much." In which event the reader
will at unco bo apprised of the fact
that tho gender of tho animal referred
to was not neuter."

O. W. DUDLEY, SUPT.
The pupils of tho high school havo
organized a literary society. Tho first
meeting was hold last Friday night.
At this mooting tho following officers
wore elected: President, Estoy Smel
sor; Secretary, Sheridan Phares; Ser
geant at Arms, Georgo Boal. Many of
tho students aro deeply interested.
A tennis club composed of both
boys and girls lias also been or
gauizod. Two courts aro now boing
prepared on tho north west comer of
the school grounds. Mr. Tait has
kindly donated tho club two nots.
Principal Mamie Ellis has been out
of school a part of the week on ac
count of a siege of tho mumps. On
Wednesday Inez Ellis took her place
in tho high school while Iono Albright
took charge of tho grammar room.
In accordance with a clause in tho
school laws which states that pupils
may enter school only whon thoro is
already an existing organized class
into which they aro fitted to entor
tho school board has authorized tho
primary teachers to excludo pupils
who can not conform to this condi
tion. Under tho present arrangement
pupils will be kept in tho kiudcrgar
ton but one year. Pupils who entor
lato in tho year, of course, can not bo
promoted. So there is nothing gained
by admitting a pupil lato in tho
spring. To do so would moan that tho
primary teacher must organize a new '
class. This, however, would tako half
tho time that should bo dovotod to the
pupils, who havo been in school all
year. Tho toachors want to bo as leni
ent as possible toward patrons. But
they don't feel as though it is just to
organize special class. All who begin
by tho iirst of February can bo cared
for. This plan will mako it possiblo
to start the beginners at any time
from Soptombor to February thus
throwing open the kindergarten five
months of the niuo. All tho patrons
havo been very thoughtful. All seem
to understand tho motive back of this
plan is a good ono and fool that it is tq
thoir interest to help carry It out. ,
Throe dollars of tho entertainment J
fund has been donotod to tho base
ball team with which to buy supplies.
A baso ball game with Franklin is
on foot, but at this time has not been
definitely arranged.
Tho seniors aro dreaming night and
day of commencement.
Delia Lambrecht has tho measlos.

On account of poor health and too

As Seen By a Stranfter.
Editor E. P. Fassett of tho Arling
ton Review-Herald, who was thtj guest
of Row Goorgo il. Rico last weok, in a
letter to his homo paper had consider
able to say about Red Cloud. In re
plying to Mr. Fassett's insinuations
regarding tho placo which tho memory
of Hon. William McKeighan holds in
tho hearts of the pooplo of Rod Cloud
and Webster county, wo need only to
point to tho handsome monument in
the Rod Cloud cemetery, erected to
his memory "by tho commou people."
Wo also wish to corroat another of his
statements that "Jerry Simpson is
said to bo wandering ovor the prairies
of tho Sunflower stato." As Mr. Simp
son has been dead for soveral month",
and notico of his death was published
in tho leading papers of tho land, it
mast havo been Jerry's ghost that Mr.
Fassett had roforouco to. Following
is what Mr. Fassett has to say about
Rod Cloud:
"A good many years ago thoro roved
ovor thoso barren prairies of Nebraska
a Sioux chief named Red Cloud, whose
war-llko disposition caused tho Fed
oral troops a groat deal of trouble.
Of courso the old fellow is dead now,
and his name is bolug perpetuated in
Webster county by giving his namo to
tho county soat town. Red Cloud is
Bituatod on tho Republican river
about midway across tho southern half
of tho state, and Is a very prosperous,
city of perhaps 1500 people. It is to
this placo that I camo last week on a
visit to tho Rev. G. II. Rice, who will
bo remembered by all Arllugtoultes as

FREE FROM ALUM, LIME OR PHOSPHATIC ACID
Alum baking powders arc unhealthful. Do not use them for
raising food under any circumstances. So detrimental arc alum
baking powders considered, that in most foreign countries their
sale is prohibited. In many States in this country the law com
pels alum powders to be branded to show that they contain
this dangerous acid, while in the District of Columbia,' Congress
has prohibited the sale of all food that contains alum.
Alum baking powders are sold to consumers at from io
cents a pound to 25 ounces for 25 cents, or 25 cents a pound,
and when not branded may generally be distinguished by their
price.
