The Taking
Cold Habit
The old cold goes ; o new one
quickly comes. It's the story
of a weak throat, weak lungs,
a tendency to consumption.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
breaks up the taking-cold
habit. It strengthens, soothes,
heals. Askyourdoctorabout it.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
Unnecessary Dr.lay In Closlni Up the
Mlclilftan Trust Co. Case.
Moru limn six months havo elapsed
since the mandate was received from
the supreme court nlllrming the de
cision of tho lower court in the case
of the City vs. The Michigan Trust
Co. and ordering the lots sold. Paul
S. Moon made a settlement with the
city so far as the Moon block was con
cerned, but there are between ISO and
200 town lots included in the judg
ment upon which no action has been
taken and which should have been
.old long ago. Why has the city ad
ministration made no move in the
matter?
Many of these lots have been trans
ferred by quit claim deed, and the
parties procuring them stand to lose
when the order of salo'issucs.
Others of these lots have been trans
ferred by tax deed, and their pur
chasers are thereby protected from
loss.
But there is a very large percentage
of the lots, many of them of consider
able value, that are still subject to
transfer by tax deed All the lots in
cluded in the judgment are subject to
nale by tho city under the order of the
tiupreme court and it is high time
boino action was taken in this matter.
The. New Court House.
The people of P.lue Hill and Cowles
are particularly bitter against the
proposition for a new court house
not because they do not believe the
county needs one, but because each
has for years nursed hopes that the
county seat might some day be re
moved from Red Cloud and one or the
other of those towns might stand a
chance of securing it.
Last Saturday night a meeting was
held in Cowles, at which it was de
cided that if the people of Red Cloud
want a new court house they must
build it themselves. On their part,
the people of Cowles agree to build a '
substantial court house, provided the j
county seat is moved to their town, j
Itluu Hill puts tip the same kind of a
talk. Why shouldn't they? Thev have
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain and talk is cheap.
The county court house belongs just
as much to tho people of Cowles, Blue
Hill, Rosemont, Itladen, Guide Rock
and Inavale as it does to Red Cloud.
They have just as many cases in
court, as many deeds, mortgages, etc.,
on record, and furnish their share of
attendance at the sessions of court.
Therefore they are as deeply interest
ed in having a safe, substantial build
ing in which to keep the records and
hold court as are the citizens of Red
Cloud. Some day, when there is a big
crowd in attendance like those which
were seen at the Barker trial, the
barn-llko structure which disfigures
tho court house park will collapse, re
sulting in great loss of life. Should
flro once get a start among the rotten
timbers it would burn like tinder, and
the valuable records in the old shack
would be destroyed and they could
never be replaced.
There is no more justice in asking
tho people of Red Cloud to build tho
new court house than there would be
in asking one county to build a prison
in which to confine tho criminals from
tho remainder of tho state.
Wo need a now court house and wo
nro going to have one, and Itluo Hill
and Cowles may as well gel in tho I
band wagon. Tliclr oners to build a
now court house show that thoy know
tho county needs one, and, as neither
of thorn stands a ghost of a show of
gottiug tho county seat, thoy should
'come iu out of tho wet."

Little Opposition to New School House.

WPE FENCES KILL EMEU3.
Big Birds Starve Rather Than Changa
Westward Course.
A correspondent of tho Emu, living
120 mites to tho eastward of Porth.
Western Australia, reports that num
bers of emeus are destroyed in his
district by striking against tho wlro
fences set to prevent the Invasion of
rabbits.
Tho birds appear to migrate at ono
time of year from east to west, re
turning at the commencement of the
dry season. When thoy strlko a rab
bit fence they hang on to It in tho
angles till they perish with thirst.
A boundary rider states that in one
section of about six miles some 50
dead emeus might bo counted, while
In a length of 60 miles tho total num
ber of birds which had thus suc
cumbed was estimated at no less than
300.
In other district tho destruction U
reported to be even worse. On the
east side of the fonco a complete
track is made by tho emeus In their
endeavor to force a paBsago.
It is obvious that, unless some
flcient remedy for this state of affairs
is speedily found, the day3 of the
emeu In the Perth district will soon
be numbered.
Just Meandering.
A city girl writes: "It is a fond
dream of mine to become a farmer'
wifo and meander with him down
life's pathway.' Ah, yes, that Is a nice
thing; but when your husband mean
ders off and leaves you without wood
and you have to meander up nnd down
the lane pulling splinters off the fence
to cook dinner, and when you mean
der along In the wot grass in search of
the cows till your shoes arc the color
of rawhide and your stockings soaked,
and when you meander out across
twenty acres of plowed ground with
a club to drive the hogs out of the
corn field and tear your dress on tho
barb-wire fence, when you meander
back home to tho house, find that tho
hilly goat has hutted the stuflln' out
of your child and find the old hen with
forty chickens in tho parlor, you'll
put your hands on your hips and real
ize that mennderlng Is not what it is
