COLLECTION AND BENEDICTION.
BANKSVILLE BUDGET.
F. Cain has as flno a piece of spring whea
as has been noticed by the scribe.
T. C. Kelley , two miles west , had a dozen
glass broken by hail , and some others in tba
vicinity.
Corn planting Is about completed and what
Is up looks quite well considering the cool
moist weather.
The hail , Monday , June 1st. did not reach
Banksvlllc , but south on the state Hue was
considerable bull.
Kain every day for a fortnight and the
ground well wet up. Sunday was the first
clear day for over a week.
Mrs. S.R.Seaman was a visitorfrom McCook
to Mrs. M. E. Hill and to her old home near
Banksville , the first of this week.
W. H. Benjamin measured a straw of rye
and reported it to be five feet. He has forty
acres of as flno rye as the county can produce
If appearances are any indication the vicin
ity of Banksville will show more abundant
crops than any year since the settlement of
the precinct OBSERVER.
THE IRRIGATION AGE.
"The Irrigation Age , " published at Denver.
Colo. , has already achieved a place as a stan
dard publication. It comes out fortnightly ,
crowded to the covers with the news of irriga
tion developments and attractive illustrated
articles. In the issue of June 1st , just from
the press , it begins a most important series of
papers on "The Future of the Public Lands. "
to which Governor Willey of Idaho , Major
John W. Powell of the Geological Survey ,
Hon. Joseph NImmo , Jr. , of Washington.Hon.
Elwood Mead of Wyoming , and others con
tribute strong articles. Most of them favor
this ceding of lands to the states. Other at
tractive features are exhaustive articlps on
Agriculture in Idaho , " "Irrigation in Aus
tralia. " "The Economical Use of Water. " etc.
Mr. T. S. Van Dyke edits the interesting Cali-
ornia pages , and the departments on "The
rrigated Orchards , " "Financial , " "Personal"
and "Irrigation iaw" are as attractive as us
ual. Mr. Poore's "Humor of Tne Age" is one
of the brightest of funny columns. Besides
, he principal edition , issued from Denver , the
publishers now issue an Inter-Mountain edi-
ion from Salt take aod Odgen , and a Pacific
toast edition from Los Angeles.
"Can the character be read from the hand
writing ? " Most assuredly it can. Everyone
can remember being influenced favorably or
unfavorably by the penmanship of some un
known person.and has been astonished to find
howirue the conclusions were.and some of the
world's foremost thinKers have maintained
that the handwriting furnishes a more exact
key to the character than the head , face , or
form. Character-reading from handwriting
is a fascinating study ; and if you wish to
learn all about it you must read the excellent
and profusely illustrated article "How to
Read Character by Handwriting , " by Prof
Nelson Thorpe , published in the July numbe
of Demorest's Family Magazine. In the same
number is a splendid article on "Chili , " which
is particularly apropos at present ; "Foes
Afield : Plants Poisonous to the Stomach" is
quite as seasonable. "Summer Outdoor
Games : Lawn Tennis , Badminton , Colors , " are
clearly described and illustrated. Besides
there are stories and poems , and over 200 il
lustrations , and the numerous departments
are full to overflowing with valuable matter
Briefly , this number fully maintains the just
ly earned prestige of being the Model Family
Magazine , and it is published for $2 per year
by W. Jennings Demorest , 15 East 14th St.
New York.

Fcr the cure of the inflammation and conges
tion called "a cold in the bend" there is more
potency in Ely's Cream Balm than in anything
else it is possible to prescribe. This prepara
tion has for years past been makingabrilliant
success as a remedy for cold in the head ,
catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial
stages of these complaints Cream Balm pre
vents any serious development of the symp
toms , while almost numberless cases arc on
record of radical cures of chronic catarrh ,
after all modes of treatment have railed.
